Condemnation of the Jockeying ties of the Britan: Yesterday's Events on the Turf and Diamond. Yachtsmen at Cowes, Isle cf Wight, ex- press great admiration for the plucky spirit displayed by the masters.of the Vigilant and Britannia, when both yachts scraped their bottoms on the rocks Monday. Al- though Britannia was jockeying Vigilant. condemnation of that unsportsmanlike act was lost sight of in admiration of the deter- mined manner in which one boat Kept at it and the other accepted the challenge, each at the risk of being wrecked. Both skippers appreciated the danger, but neither would hold off, lest by so doing the other would gain an advantage and win the race, In order to prevent the Vigilant frem coming up under her lee the Britannia kepi bearing down upon her, forcing her-in.shore, as was stated in yesterday's Star. Mr. C. Oliver Iselin, who had been watching the Britan- ria’s movements intently, shouted, to Capt. Haff at the critical moment. Don’t give way. She has the who:e chan- nel to sail in! Let her take it and leave us “ reful, sir!” said Tom Diaper, crouched don, closely ‘scans ning the to him well-known shore. “We are elmost on the ra fe “She draws seventeen feet,”” replied Mr. Iselin, “and we draw oniy Yirieen ahaa half. ‘I guess we can go wherg she gocs.” ut T tell you, sir, we shail strike!" t her : . who had been kneeling tiller” throughout this » bri ly glanced at t speake: while “Mr. -Goult witheat “Never mind the boat, witt try and ger a better one.” ‘alking over the race in the evening Mr. Gould said: “I need rat say proud I feel.

Apart from this incident the race was, perhy not so Interesting as others, but such sail- ing as there was demonstrated clearly the superiority of our boat. Of_ourse, there was no windward work today, su we must etill wait to demonstrate, .if demonstrate we can, her superiority in this respect.’ OPENED THE GAME WELL.

The bleachers settled down comfortably on the benches and recalled the drubbing the Giants had re- ceived the day before at the hands of Brook- lyn and looked for a repetition of the same. But it was not to be. The old, old story of listlessness and amateur play tells the. tale. Mercer pitched as well as any one could although eleven earned runs are dited to New York, fully half of. which uld have not resulted had certain Wash- ington fielders not acted as though posing as pallbearers. Tim Keefe umpired the game and his decisions were generaily satis- factory. Washington in the fourth scored two ad= ditional runs on hits by Selbach, Cartwright and Mercer. Another was added in the sixth on a triple by O'Rourke and a scratch hit by Mercer, three more in the elghth on singles by Scheibeck, O'Rourke and. Joyce, and an error by Ward, and the final one in the ninth on a base on balls and a, two- bagger by O'Rourke. New York began tallying in the first with one run, following by three in the second, six in the third, two in the fifth and four In the eighth, the result of timely hitting and erratic and sleepy play by the locais. ‘The feature of the game was the fielding of Burke in left field for New York; he making a number of remarkable catches in grand- stand style. Manager Schmelz Was fot present, but in the sixth inning Trensyrer Wagner directed Capt. Joyce to substitute Radford fcr Hasamaear. Paul was loudly applauded as he took his place in’ right tlefd.

It is easy for the Washington public to find fault against the local base bail teara, for there ts so much fault to be found. Yesterday there were three disiinetYeasdns why the ticket buyers protested against the exhibition, In the nrst place Mercer was the softest kind of mark. Eleven earned runs do rot speak particularly well for the vork of this usually c‘ective young man, whose conscientious service bas won him very many friends up to this time. Thea, again, the team behind him played a sleepy, stupid game in the tield, O nourke in par- ticular acting like a clothing store dummy. But it was at the bat that the locals fell far short of reasonable expectations, Seventeen of the twenty-seven outs were made on flies popped up by Washington's Latters to oue of the strongest fieids in the country. It 13 a caruial prmee ur vase ball that a ball on tae ground is worth three in the air, and it seems to be a habit that Washington ball tcssers ean neve shake, this everiasting effort to perfo the firmament. ‘This, then, fsa yood re- cipe for @ defeat: Poor pucting, lusy ueld- irg, pop batting. ‘To this aad shappy work by tue visicers and phenomenai neiaing by burke and the dish 1s complete.

A meeting of the League of Professional Foot Ball Clubs, in which the base ball magnates are interested, will be held in New York on Tuesday next. The umpire is in a better position, for judging close pl than any spectator. Doesn't fair play suggest that he be given the benefit of the doubt on close decisions? There is every incentive for an umpire to do his best while umpiring in this city, and there is every reason to believe that he gives his decisions as he szes them. ‘The two games with the Washingtons on Saturday at Philadelphia will be played on the University of Pennsylvania grounds.

Palmer of the second New York regiment has applied for horses to be used by himself and staff on-the day of parade. Mr. Percy G. Smith, secretary to the pub- lic comfort committee, was confined to his heme yesterday by filness, but is about ready for the rush today. The line of land- ladies who come to register rooms and to tefl the ‘public comfort committee how well they caa take care of the coming hosts continues to file in and out of headquar- ters. One of the important accomplishments of the day was the award to Capt. Gus H. Grapp, agent of the Union Transfer Company, of the contraet for the transpor- tation of the Pythian encampment baggage.

In Holland flax is grown principally for the seed, and the planting and growth of the crop, as well as the time of pulling, t regulated for this purpose. By properly maturing the seed the quality of the fiber-is:injured and ren- ders the subsequent process more difficult; but the Dutch farmers are ainply remuner- ated by the high price obtained for the seed, which has -for’ agricultural purposes a world-wide fame, and is chiefly sown in Britain, although Riga seed is also used and preferred by some growers cs being more hardy. It is Belgium, however, to which we must turn to see flax in the high- est staté of cultivation, where nothing is neglected that can in any measure improve the quantity, and more especialiy of the quality, of the crop. Here proper rotation of the crops, superior tillage and liberal manuring of the land are attended to in a manner not seen elsewhere, and to this the careful, plodding Belgian farmers owe their success In raising other crops as well as flax, and which has earned for them the reputation they enjoy of being the most successful agriculturists in the world. ——___s90——. BEAVER FAMMING IN DAKOTA, A Unique and Profitable industry Car- ried? On tw lie Northwest. The industry andsagacity of the beaver have often been commented upon. But those qualities lave -nof prevented this animal from being looked upon as a fair object of capture, says the New York Ledger. .Jts fur is yaluable, and, therefore, it is much sought after by trappers. Still, it may surprise some people to know that in one part of this ¢ounuy,.at least, there are_men who raise beavers for the market, just as they might do corn or tattle. It is in McLean county, North Dakota, that beaver farming is iargely carried on. The | soil is very poor and-is not adapted, as are other parts of the state, to wheat growing. — Missourl river runs along the western border 6, Country, and numerous streams Row ot ‘rom “among the hills to the nome and gaat... Cettanwoods and elm trees grow on the banks of these streams, and it is.there-.where the beaver farms are situated. A man who intends to start this industry purchases, say, ten of Jand through which a stream runs. A dam is built at a point where the stream is narrow and the banke are steep. All that is nepdedeis to fell a few trees across the bed of the stream and fill in with dirt and stones. This holds the water back so that two or three acres of land are Mooded, thus forming a pond. The next thing to be done ig to erect a fence of wire netting, from two: to, three.feet. high, along the banks of the stream and around the pond, | inclosing all the trees. 4hat. can Possibly be taken in. Generally a colony of from twelve to six- teen beavers is put on the farm.

Con saming an Average of 705 rou Yearly. rt Reperts recently received from several Ameican consuls give some interesting data In regard to the bread consumers of the world. They, show,,says the Cincinnati Times-Star, that while a- Portuguese wor- ries through @ year withvan average bread supply of 175 pounds—about half a pound a day—a Spaniard, just across the border, re- quires 413 pounds per annum, and cannot be regarded as a wheat-< try, either, In Hungary, where wa fields of fain are common in the wh srawitg season, 361 pounds age Supply a native, who ra more pounds a pounds of is re german in a year, by a e Russians, the | greatest wheat growers in Kurope, eat but 99 pounds per anaum per capita ‘A nati f America 357 pounds, while the Switzer eats 418 pounds per annum, an Italian $10, o | Dutchman 2S%, an Englishman pounds.

This ehormeus quantity consumed by a French- man, when compared with the 36 pounds per annum which a Scandinavian requires, revives the old theory that climatic in- fluences have more to do with the demands ef nature than education. In the extreme northern climates, where cold is severe, flour does not seem to-be the favorite food. There is not so much combustion in it as in oils and animal food. The Laplander, who eais no flour at all, is sometimes known to consume seven pounds of whale or seal blubber at one meal. A Russian, who only eats ninety-nine pounds in a year of the tour he raises, is popularly supposed to make up the deficiency in swallowing tallow candies and any kind of rich, fatty sub- ; Stance that happens to come to his hopper, [no matter what the flavor, | lasuriant growth; absolutely Wonder!
