THE BRITANNIA WINS —_—_-<r7-_ The Vigilant Leada‘at the Start in the Yacht Race, GREAT THRONGS OF . SPECTATORS The American Boat’ Made a Fine Showing. DETAILS OF THE RACE ROCHE’S POINT, Queenstown Harbor, July 23.—There was a fresh north-northwest breeze blowing this morning when the crowds began assembling to witness the -day’s racing under the auspices of the Royal Munster Yacht Club, and everything promised good sport. The American sloop and the British cutter arrived here at 5 a.m. today from Kingstown, Dublin bay, in tow of Mr. George J. Gould’s steam yacht Atalanta, none the worse for their trip, and fit to race for the republic and the kingdom they respectively represented. A large fleet of steam and sailing yachts gathered in Queenstown harbor to greet the racers. During the night and morning there. had been a great influx of visitors into Queenstown, and a fieet of special steamers took an army of sightseers to Roche s Point, Crosshaven, Poor Head and other points from which a good view of the race could be obtained, ‘The neighborhoods ot Camden Fort and Robert’s Head were also crowded by yachting enthusiasts, pic- nickers and holiday lovers generally. Krom Roche's Point the best viewgof the race was obtained, although Poof Head and Camden Fort also offered the people who flocked there a view of the whole cours The course today is, in the main, out at sea, although for the finish the yachts have to sail jnto and through the harbor and, if the full Royal Munster course 1s sailed, end the contest a mile up the river, off Monks- town, otherwise the course of the Royal Cork Yacht Club ts to be used, which ts the same as the Royal Munster's, except that the finishing line is between the Royal Cork Yacht Club house and buoy No. 1, right opposite it, at Queenstown. This point, as to the finish, was to have been decided by the regatta committee just be- fore the start. In any case the main part of the course is as follows: The Starting Point. The start to be made from an imaginary line drawn between the commodore’s flag- ship and a flag boat anchored off Roche's Point. From there, five and one-half miles, to and arownd a flag boat off Poor Head; thence one-half mile to and around Daunt's Rock lightship; from there back to the harbor, four and three-quarter miles, and finishing off the Royal Munster or Royal Cork club houses, two miles or one mile, re- spectively, from the’ starting line. Three times round; total distance, about fifty miles. The first two rounds, ‘however, are satied around the Poot Head, Daunt's Rock lightship and Roché’s Potnt portions of the course; only the third, ‘br last, round taking the yachts into the harbor and up the river to the finish, which extra little leg about completes the fifty miles. Such was the anxiety" of ‘the people to see the race that all the shilboats, row- boats, &c., were let yesterday at fancy prices, and hardly a craft of the poorest description could be secured this morning. During the early hours of the day every. thing pointed to a fine rate, and to weather in which the Vigilant was expected to have a fine chance to show hér powers and de- feat the Prince of Waiest cutter. The Vigitant Popular. The sympathy of ‘the ‘masées here this morning was distinctly with the American yacht, and on all side#: were heard ex- pressed hearty Mopes that othe might win the cup. There were the usual pretty and intricate maneuvers for fositton prepar- atory to the start, and Britanpia, appar- ently, again had the best of it, for she toox the weather position upon crossing the line, although both yachts were about lev The yachts started as follows: Britannia, lh., 0 O5s.; Vigilant.11h., 00m., 08s, The two carrying full sail, jib- head bailoon jibs, the Britannia having her jack rder and jib topsail set, and pulling finely in the good breeze which started the rival beauties on thelr journey. It would be a difficult matter to imagine a@ prettier sight than the one preseated this morning when the Vigilant and the Brit- annia went out, between the two huge humanity-covered hills, Roches Point and Camden Fort, on their first race in these waters, and on their eleventh contest since the sloop crossed the Atlantic. The score this morning at the start stood § to 2 in favor of the Britannia. On the way w Poor Hemi the yachts were gliding along in splendid style, half free, sheets nicely eased off, and sailing in @ manner caiculated to cali forth admira- tion for both of them. In the bright run- Nght across the blue, white-touched waters the two white-winged craft sped along at an elght-krot gait, a falr speed for any- thing but a fast’ steamer, calling forth praise from friend and foe. Vigilant in the Lead. Nearing Poor Head the Britannia ap- peared to be pulling ahead. She had run closer inshore than the Vizilant, and seemed thereby to reap some advantage from the slack tide. The times given at the start today and the times at the dif- ferent flag boats ere given according to Irish time. When close to Poor Head the Vigilant pulled up and passed out under the Britannia’s lee, the latter bearing away on the Vigilant and trying to maintain her lead. But the American yacht held a bet- ter wind, and forged ahead, rounding the first flag boat in the iead. On the first round, passing the Poor Head flax boat, the two yachts were timed as follows: Vigilant, 11h., 30m., 03s.; Britan- nia, 1ih., 3um., 58s, First and Second Round. The gunboat Albacore, with Rear Ad- miral Henry St. John, senior officer on the coast of Ireland, on board, followed the yachts during the early stages of today’s contest. The Vigilant’s sails today were setting beautifully, The Hritannia’s jackyarder, however, was shaking badly. The two yachts completed the first round off Roches Point with the Vigilant well in the lead, and were timed as follows: M. 3 s. Vigilant : 1 Britannia wm 39 12 ‘The American yacht, thérefore, at the end of the firet reund had a slew of 3 minutes 42 seconds on the British,gutter, as againgt a lead of 1 minute 21 seconds at Daunt's Rock lightship, showing of 2 min- utes 21 seconds on the la: The yachts ran haif fee m Roche's Point to Poor Head, thei Vigilant drawing still further away ffom her opponent. 2 Poor Head on the .secgnd round the following were the times of the two yachts: a Vigilant 412 59 30 Britannia 1 04 0 The Vigilant, therefore.at Ghis point hed a lead of 4 minutes 30. seconds againgt a lead of 3 minutes 42 seconds at the comple. tion of the first round, showing a gain of 48 seconds on this leg.

The Vigilant at this stage of the race had a lead of seven minutes eight seconds on the Britannia, and was estimated to be fully two miles nhead. When the two yachts passed Daunt's Rock lightship on the . third round the Britannia, owing to a lucky fluke, had the lead. The times were: Britannia Vigilant The cutter, it will thus be seen, had a leal of 19 seconds at this point, although the Vigilant, at Boor Head, led her by 7 minutes, 8 seconds. Britannin Won.

Co-Operative Dock Societies and How They Work—Unload- ing Vessels. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ANTWERP, July 12, 1804. Very few persons realize the sige or im- portance of this port, and none except those who have wandered through the busv stroets or watched the ceaseless procession of ships into the harbor appreciate the cos- mopolitan and commercial character of Antwerp. Even its name bears testimony of early commerce, Tradition says that in the sev- enth century the river upon which Antwerp is situated was under the dominion of Duron Antigon. He laid a tax upon each vessel that passed his stronghold, and if an independent master tried to escape the tribute he was quickly caught, his right hand cut off and thrown into the river— from which we have Antwerp, coming from hand, a hand. and werpen, to throw. If this derivation be true or not none can say, but the authorities of the city place enough credence in it to have on the municipal coat-of-arms a chateau surmounted by two right hands, A Checkered Career. The city has had its career checkered with prosperity and adversity, growth and decay. It has been the home of wealthy merchants, the seat of mighty rulers and the coveted prize of rapacious armies. At no time has abiding peace been its portion, and each time it was found necessary to extend its boundaries ramparts and fortifi- cations were moved further back. This seven-time-repeated extension is easily traced, for the only wide streets to be found in the city are the sites of the former Mres of fortifications. The last extension, that of 1881, gave the city in the demolition of the earthworks the magnificent sweep of boulevards known as Avenue des Beaux eae Avenue de I’Industrie and Avenue du us Magnificent Docks. Napoleon appreciated the importance of Antwerp es a port, and began, in 1804, the erection of docks, pursuing a plan which has been followed with such Improvements as modern needs and better appliances d>- mand, until now the entire river front ts one eentinuous dock, solidly built of stone, with water deep enough for the largest ship that floats. Upon these docks twelve thousand tons of freight are daily handied and six thousand ghips are discharged each year, making Antwerp the third city in the world in maritime importance. Thus it is that Antwerp is a world city and is justly entitled to have a world's fair. A City Without Strikers. In view of the labor troubles in the Untt- ed States, one’s attention is called to the disastrous results which would follow a strike among the stevedores or ‘longshore- men here. But they don’t have strikes. Not that the Belgian is opposed la greve; by no means, he rather enjoys one. But on the docks there is a system worthy of imita- tion and emulation, There are forty-nine societies or guilds of deck laborers, who load and unload each vessel that comes into port. These socie- ties are called nations, and each one limits its labors and will handle only certain arti- cles, and in some cases only those certain articles that come from a certain locality. For instanca the Valkeniero Natie will un- load lumber that comes from America, but none but the “Mexico Nate’ could handle the lumber from Sweden; the ““Viaey Natie” cam charge a vessel with ordinary Belgian sugar, but if the sugar is intended for can- dy its loading 4s the province of the “Wijn- gaard Natie.” ‘ How the Nations Are Formed. Each nation is a kmited corporation, number of members being goverend by mount of work that usually falls to its lot. The members are also stockholders, for the society must own Grays, wagons, horses and all the utensils necessary. The shares vary .in price; in the most prosperous na- dicns a share is valued at $5,000. Each stareholder must be also a laborer and obey implicitly the officers of the society. ‘The officers are the dean, assistant deans and@ secretary. Each morning all the mem- bers meet, half an hour before the day's work begins, at their headquarters, and tasks are assigned to each man, if there’ 1s work for all; if not, to such as the dean may select—he always taking part in tpe actual work. Those who receive no assign- ment report again at noon. : ‘The Co-Operative Plan. When a vessel is loaded or discharged the dean ts paid and the money is at once placed in bank. And so the work continues until the end of the month. Then each member receives a stipulated sum, usually $0). If the earnings of the month should yield a surplus over and above the monthly payments it is left in the general fund to help out those months when the earnings are not so great. In making these monthly payments no preference is shown for those who worked a day or two more than the others—the man who came at the eleventh hour fares_as well as the one who bore the heat and ffe burdens of the day. Likewise those who are sick or who have received injuries obtain the same allowance tat is given those who worked every day. In this connection it should be said that the officers receive no extra pay, and work every day when othcrs are engaged. The assets of a nation are, besides its good name and privileges, horses and wa- gons, for they not cnly unload vessels, but they deliver goods, haul them to warchouses or place them in ether vessels or on cars for reshipment. In some cases the value of the preperty belonging to the society is as much as $100,000, When a Vessel Asriv When a vessel passes Flushing, forty miles down the river, it is reported at Ant- werp. The port authorities at once assign it a place at the docks or in one of the basins and notify the proper nation, so that by the time the vessel is tied up to a wharf men are there ready to begin unloading. ‘There is no dickering about prices—they are fixed—nor are tgere any underbidding and ir- responsible contractors. As soon as the na- tion begins to unload it becomes responsible for the cargo, and must make good any damage that may arise from carelessness. Arbitration. In adjusting such damages arbitration is resorted to, never coufts of law. Although some of the nations have been in existence without interruption for three centuries they have never been involved in a law suit. The members are under oath to abide by the decision of the majority, and their share is annulled if any should Violate the «expressed will of this majority. Should a member die—and @o from injurtes—his share is the property of his heirs, and is sold at auction for their bene- fit. The ony condition imposed is that the purchaser be a vigorous active laborer. Some of the nations own as many as eighty horses—probably the finest draught horses in the world; they have their own stables, employ their own smiths, and give to their horses the best possible care. An Interesting Parade. On the Sth of July the nations gave their annual pxrade, each society having in line one loaded wagon for each kind of produce it handles. There were seventy-nine Wagons in all. Among them I noticed one loaded with American corned beef, one with elephants’ tusks, one with palm trees from the Congo, one with flour from Milwaukee, on2 with tea from China, cotton from Cai- cutta, tobacco from Virginia, wool from Australia, nitrate from Chile, petroleum from Russia, rice from India, wheat from Roumania, etc. The value of the entire freight was five hundred thousand dollars. The dot facilities here, combined with the close railway connections with the prin- cipal cities of the continentumake Antwerp the center of maritime actity. The Docks and Machinery. As said before, the docks are built of dressed stone running along the rir side, and unbroken by slips or plers. They are covered with sheds built of fire-proof ma- terfal, having skylights of glacs, and pro- vided with electric lights for night work. Throughout the entire extent of the docks the the ot COUNTRY REAL ESTATE. Fok POR FoR FOR FOR SALE (Miscellancour). HORSBS AND VEHICLES. HOTELS LADIES’ LocaL LOST AND FOUND.

GORE. ——_——-— ON THE LIST. a itl g & Strects to Be Improved Under the New Schedule. ‘The engineer department is making active preparations to begin the work on street improvements under the new appropriation bill, which it is expected will become a law during the present month. Capt. Fie- beger has forwarded to the sewer and water departments the following st of streets which are first on the list and cestain to be improved during the year, so that if either of these departments contemplates the lay- ing of sewers or water mains it will have ample opportunity to do so before the streets are improved. The list is of great interest to property holders, and shows what work will be done in the way of paving during the comig year. It may be that other streets vill also be reached, but the following list is a conservative estimate: Northwest—V street from 13th to 15th; 15th street from U to V; 10th street from T to U; Ist street from K to Pierce; K street from Ist to 3d. Northeast—tth street from H to K; Mass- achusetts avenue from 24 to 4th. Southeast—sth street from East Capitol Ng North’ Carolina avenue; Ist street {rom to E. Southwest—K street from South Cspitol to lst; Canal (south side) from B vw C. Georgetown—824 etreet from M to bend in oa south of N street; Valley street irom J to P. In this connection also he has called the ttention of the water department to the fact that the following streets are to be graded and regulated at once, and if there are no water mains laid therein that they be laid as soon as possible: 15th street northeast from East Capitol to E; C street northeast from 12th t> Tcn- nessee avenue; lith street northeast from Maryland avenue te Florida avenue; D reet southeast from 98th to Kentucky avenue; 12th street southeast from Lincoln Park to Pennsylvania avenue. ———_ OVER ONE HUNDRED. And Never Talked More Thae a Half Hour With Any Man. Perhaps the most remarkable oki woman in New York city, says the New York Her- ald, is Catharine Durnyeen, who lives in the rear of No. 411 West 324 street, and says she is one hundred and three years old. Unlike most women of her age she did not see George Washington, for the rea- son that she was born in Ireland, and only came to this country tn 1814, or just eighty years ago. She differs from most very old women also in the fact that ehe is almost as sprightly as a young girl and is in com- plete possession of nearly all her faculties. She is so poor, however, she can scarcely keep body and soul together. But she tries her best to earn a living. The only occupa- tion open to her is quilting, and at this she manages to earn a few dollars to keep a roof over her head. She was born in the townland of Rawme!l- ton, In county Donegal, Ireland, and came to this country when she was twenty-three years oki. During all her long life she nev- er marri and it is her boast that she never held more than a half hour’s con- verse with any man. early part of her residence in this country was spent as a domestic in wealthy families. When she became too old for service she drifted about from one place to another, doting odd jobs, and lately has devoted her time to quilting. ooo, Caused by a Wig. Ella Randolph, a black woman who en- vies some of the colored blondes in the disreputable part of the city, put on a wig and powdered her face Saturday night, but when she appeared in low down society her new headgear and powdered face did not make a “sscial hit” Jim Robinson was a member of the social gathering in which Ella figured, and when she appeared he remover her wig and exposed her short, woolly hair. Then the females in the party took a hand in the amusement, which end- ed in a fight Four women and two men figuring in the affair were arrested, and this morning they appeared in the proces- sion of prisoners in the Police Court. Then the police told of the fight on the street and then the prisoners were given a chance to tell their side of the story. “ “Twas all Jim Robinson’ ult,” said one of them. “ 's wig and then did most of the fighting. Each prisoner in turn appeared and put the blame on Jim, but the latter charged hat the others in the crowd had jumped on and beat him. The affair caused the police considerable street fight, and Judge Miller fined the de- fendants $10 each. —_——_ Helped the Boy Along.
