Prince of Wales Has Ne Scrupies About a Walkover—Events on the ‘Turf and Diamond. COWES, Isle of Wight, August 10.—The Britannia, Iverna and Viking started at 6 o'clock in the race for the Meteor challenge shield, presented by the German emperor, the event being open only to all yachts of any rig built in Europe and belonging to any recognized European yacht club ex- ceeding one hundred rating. The course 1s from Cowes around the Shambles Hghtship off Portland; yachts to pass out by the eastern chanuel of the Isle of Wight and to return through the western channel by the Needles; total distance about 120 miles. The winner of the shield is subject to challenge the year after win- ning it, and the trophy becomes the prop- erty of the person winning It twice; three yachts to start, or no race. Britannia won the emperor's challenge shield last year, beating Satanita by forty- six minutes, The Iverna and Viking were evidently only entered and started in today’s race in order that the event might be sailed, for they soon retired and tne Britannia con- tinued sailing over the course alone. ‘The Pr.nce of Wales will thus become the owner of the Meteor challenge shieti. The regatta of the royal yacht squadron will close tomorrow with the race for the Australian cup, vatued at £50, for all yachts between twenty and forty ratitig, belonging to any recognized yacht club; queen's course. The rating limit e&cludes the Brit- aunia and Vigilant. These yachts will try issues again Monday, sailing fifteen miles to windward and return, for a £100 cup, to be given to the winner by the loser. ‘The start will probably be from the Needles out tos Brilliant Affair at Cowes. COWES, August 10,—Lord Lonsiele gave splendid entertainment on board the Iverna last night, in honor of his guests, ihe German emperor and fhe ‘Prince of Wales. The deck of the yacht was trans- formed so that it presented the aspect of a beautiful bail room. It was roofed from stem to stern with red and white drapery, electric lights hung from every convenient int and there was an elaborate display of palms, flowers and flags. A private band of twenty-four performers furnished music. Many yachts were gathered around the Iveraa, and every vessel in the harbor was iluminated. There was a graud display of fireworks during the evening, the last de- Vice representing the royal succession and sisttrg of portraits of the queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Yerk and the latter's baby. The harbor presented a most brilliant spectacle and was enjoyed by those on shore. The scene on the yacht was kept up ull dawn. a London Papers Jubilant. LONDON, August 10.—The newspapers are all jubilant over the victory of the Britannia over the Vigilant yesterday. The Pall Mall Gazette says, sarcastically: “We must await the arrival of the Amert- can mail for the stratght truth about her defeat, whether it was truckling to a royal prince or because the Vigilant was not built for English water: The Pall Mall Gazette also publishes a clumn reviewing “the Vigtlant’s irregulari- ues,” and reprints the story that she is cheat the Yacht Racing Association rules in avoiding tons of weight by not be- ing titted up below decks, adding that there is a great deal of discontent at the manner in which the Vigilant ts being sailed. LOCALS PLAYED WITHOL' "New York's Men Were Luckier at the Bat and Wea. It is now plain why Capt. John Mont- gomery Ward took Pitcher Jonett Meekin out early in the game on Wednesday. He was saving him for the contest yesterday, and the move proved a good one, for the Schmelzites couldn't bai a little bit, even when a hit would have brought in two or more runs and possibly won the game. Smiling Al Maul also pitched In excellent form, but the Giants played in great luck, EMU, so far as batting is concerned. The local team put up an errorless game.

The trou- ble was occasioned by the removal of Mart Swift, who managed the Scranton Pennsyl- vania State League team,and whose resigna- tion was requested by the board of directors of the Scranton Base Ball Association. It now appears that Swift had given all the old State League players their releases from their Eastern League eontractsMonday night. Yesterday morning Swift induced First Baseman Massey, Second Baseman Phelan, Short Stop Wetzel, Third Baseman Westlake, Left Fielder Staltz and Pitcher Flanughen to accompany him to Carbon- dale, where he is to manage the club that will take the place of Allentown in the Pennsylvania League. Catchers Rogers and Patchen are the only old players who re- fused to go with Swift.

Gould and. the Prince of Wales have arranged for a special match for next Monday between the Britannia and the Vigilant for £100 a side. The course Is to be fifteen miles out from the Needles and back. The Vigilant’s people say there is no truth in the report that she touched ground sterday in Gumarde bay. But on the round, when the yachts were invisible from Cowes, the Vigilant’s forestay sail was carried away, and in the second round the Vigilant’s “spirnaker split. While neither Capt. Haff, Mr. Gould nor any other person on board the Yankee sloop alleges that her defeat was entirely due to these mishaps, the Vigilant certainly was bendicapped by these derangements of her sailing gear.

Ham!in’s handsome young four-year-old mere Fantasy reduced her record at Buf- ftalo yesterday in an exhibition mile, paced by a runner, She went easily to the half in 1.05 1-4, then moved smartly to the third quarter in 31 seconds and came home tired, but not pumped out or urged to her ut- most, in 32 seconds, making the mile in 2.03 1-4. This betters her three-year-old record a half second and beats all four- year-old records save that of Directum. Hamlin had also the satisfaction of win- ning the two-mile match race between his uiare Nightingale and I. H. O'Dell’s stal- lign Greeniarder. The mare went yoked with the horse forthe first mile in 2.17 44, but left him at the three-quarters post in the second mile and came away easily. Greenlander finished gamely, but his legs had given out and he could hardly hobbie off the track. It was out of the question to start him for the second heat and the mare walked over the course in hardly work out time for her, Ten Eyck Defeats Hosmer. ‘The three-mile scull race between George F.

McCrink, the well-known naval engineer, will deliver his famous lecture on Jupiter boarding an American man-of-war while crossing the equator. The lecture will be fully illustrat- ed, and from Mr. McCrink’s reputation as a talker will be an extremely interesting and entertaining one. This lodge is gaining in membership every day, and the social fea- tures that are attached to it add very much to building it up. They have a meeting every Friday night, and after the regular business ts transacted gather together and spend the balance: of the time in music, story-telling and recitations, thus dot everything possible to show that there are Pleasures to be found in other places than the flowing bowl. About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon this city was visited by a severe rain storm. For a few minutes. the wind blew in sales and the rain poured down in torrents, flood= ing many of the streets. The heavy wind blew down several trees and tangied some of the telephone wires, but no damage of a serious nature is reported. Again about midnight the storm broke over the city, and from then until morning continued in show- ers every ten or fifteen minutes. The committee, composed of C. O. Sipple. c. 3. W. Summers and Wm.

Base Ball Club yesterday in a very one- sided game of base ball, the score being 15 to 1 in favor of the Alexandria boys. This makes the teams a tie in the matter of games won. The pitching of Ed. O'Brien of the Old Domirtions was exceptionally fine, only two hits being made off of him in the game, O'Brien went to Warrenton this morning, where he will pitch in a game against that club. The odd game with the Hyattsville team will be played at New Alexandria some day next week. This team that Manager McLearen has gotten together is the best one that has been {n Alexandria for several seasons, and they have won two-thirds of the games played. The Electric Railway Company has com- menced the construction of its Royal street extension. The poles for the trolley wire are being gotten in readiness the track work will be commenced and rapidly pushed to comple- tion, This line will be extended to Frank- lin street, where it will be connected with the main line, thus doing away with the reverse curve and heavy grade on Franklin street between Fairfax and Royal streets, which is a great drawback to the heavy Mount Vernon cars. The Fairfax street track will be used for local traffic as here- tofore. With the recent extension up King street and this new addition every facility will be had for the quick handling of passen- gers from one end of the town to the other.

Yesterday a com- munication was received from Mrs. Tyree, the papers were officially filed and immedi: ately placed under lock and key in a big fron safe far away from the public cye. Mr, Tyree this morning apparently was ignorant of the institution of the proceed- ings. He would not talk in regard to the affair, but simply stated that his social and business positios will not admit of his making of himself a bill board on which Daniel Frohman can paste theatrical ad- vertisements. “Mrs. Tyree is a very excellent lad! said Mr. Tyree to the reporter. “Won't you have a cigar?” That ended the con- versation.

A finer day could hardly have been found for such a trip, barring the fact that on the return they ran into the rain, but this cid not succeed in putting a damper on the pleasure of the crowd. At the grounds there were all sorts of entertainments planned for the amusement of the excursionists. The earlier boat car- ried down a party of “base ball experts,” d there was a game between the “fats end the leas.” The team with the greater amount of avordupois also had the larger number of runs when Umpire Ed. Matthews called the game at sundown. In the pavil- ion there was an excellent 6rchestra, which supplied music for ‘the merry dancers all the evening. In the rear of the mansion wn open stage had been erected, with seats about it for the audience, and here the Car- roll Institute orchestra of eighteen pieces, under the leadership of S. Minster, &: brief concert that called forth muc!i ap- plause. This began with a rendering of “The Carroll Institute” march, composed for the occasion by Ben. Judson. Following this there was an exhibition by the junior class in athletics, under the lead- ership of Prof. Maurice A. Joyce. The class was composed of Ernest H. Kettic James Barreft, Claude O'Domnoghue. Daniel Cox, George A. Spurrier, George J. McCloskey,’ Archie L. Donohoe, Matihew Horne and Eddie Voigt. They gave some oper air exercises on the German horse, un- der the lead of Prof. Joyce, which was fol- lowed by acrobatic and contortion acts by Prof. Joyce, George A. Spurrier and little ‘idie Voigt. John Henderson aud Jessic vleman gave an exhibition of specialty dancing. This was followed by a couple of friendly bouts, with boxing gloves, and by some fancy Indian club swinging by Mat- thew Horne, a member of the mstitute. While all this was going on there was an interesting contest in the bowling alley be- tween teams from the Carroll Institute and the Young Men's Catholic Club. Last year the institute team were champions of the Districi, but they lowered their colors tw their rivals last evening, for the Y. M. C. C. piled up a total of 847, With J. R. Lansdale having the highest individual score, 180 pins, and B. Lehman, J. T. Trapp, R. Leh- man and M. Guiney following him in order on the winning team. ‘The instituters had a total score of Giz. Merritt led for them with 156. pins, and Shea, J. Armstrong, Armstrong and Downey succeeding him in the number of pins knccked down. On the return trip the institute orchestra furnished a delightful musical program, which made che ride seem all too short, though it was after eleven o'clock when the steamer tied up to her wharf. That the excursion was such-a success was due largely to the efforts of the enter- tainment committee, which consisted of Ed. J. Hannan, chairman; Major Edmond Mal- let, Thomas J. Sullivan, Henry W.
