Correspondence of The Evening Star. OCEAN CITY, Md., September 2, 1894. Washington people know a good deal of various seaside resorts, but comparatively little of this place. They have an idea that it is somewhere on the seaside, but exactly where they canfiot tell. Yet the trip here is much shorter in point of time than the usual route of transit to Old Point or Virginia Beach, ani while perhaps it is an hour longer than is required to go to Cape May or Atlantic City, it involves less of heat and discomfort. There is an hour by rail to Baltimore, a change then to the steamboat. Then ydu have three hours on the bay, which is both restful »nd refresh- ing; next a landing at Clayborne, on the eastern shore of Maryland, and a ride of three hours for the eighty-seven miles to Ocean City. This part of the journey is apt to be warm, but is not warmer than the usval summer journey to northern watering Places. On the whole the trip now requires about seven hours, but my invariable ex- perience is that the traveler arrives free from fatigue and comparatively fresh. There is a fair prospect of an improve- ment in the facilities for reaching here both for the Baltimore and Washington traveling public. The Eastern Shore road running frem Clayborne to Ocean City was sold the ether day to a number of capitalists control- ling the bonds of the road. Among those of the new board of directors I notice the names of John B. Searles, Brayton Ives, William F. Havemeyer, C. F. Pomeroy, Pana M. Tuttle of New York, Enoch Pratt, M. P. Bond and J. Upshur Dennis of Baltimore, Henry P. Thompson, Millard Thompson of Wilmington, Delaware; Thos. P. Smith of Washington, C. 8. Tyson of Philadelphia and J. 8. Riefer of Portland, Maine. The new company will be known as the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Transportation Company. It is pleasantly announced in the press that the new com- bination has gobbled up the Maryland Steamboat Company, the Choptank Steam- beat and the Eastern Shore Steamboat Companies, and that they will then possess almost a monopoly of the lines of communi- tion connecting Baltimore and the eastern shore of Maryland and Virgini: Advantages of the Seashore, Searles is a man of business, and he and his crowd will probably have the wit to see that improved methcds and quicker time are called for just now, and they may also arrange some device by which a trunk can be carried from the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road in Baltimore to the steamer in fifteen or twenty minutes. The taste of the American public runs to the seaside more and more every year. There is less danger of taking cold than at the mountain resorts. The sea bathing, if indulged in moderation, will work won- ders on the invalid. The sea air is the greatest and safest alterative that one can take, better than the mineral springs water in nine cases of ten and more permanen: in its benefits. As to interest, where will you tind a more interesting companion than the sea? His gestures and conversa- tion vary from hour to hour, and you can spend a whole afternoon ‘watching his changes of expression. The suggestions of vastness and immensity, the .broad view bounded only by the horizon, the passing ships, the joy of the bath, the mystic gloom of the night on the water—all go to make the hours slip by unnoted and un- markel. But for the meal times we should rardly notice the time of day. Visitors From Washington. There are five or six hotels and boarding houses here, and Ocean City has grown a good deal since I saw tt a dozen years ago. There are a number of cottages. Senators Blackburn and Squire have pleasant cot- tages. There is no reason why Ocean City should not be a winter resort as well as Atlantic City or Old Point. The climate is tempered by the gulf stream, which runs near by. i believe one hotel keeps open all the year. The company is a pleasant one. They are mainly from Baltimore, Delaware aol the eastern shore of Maryland. Among the visitors this year from Wash- ington cre the following: Secretary Hoke Smith and family, Senator James K. Jones and family, Seuator Kyle and family, Sena- tor Blackburn, John F. Waggaman and family, W. F. Holtzman and wife, D. B. Fox and family, F. J. Whithead and family, Sam. Cross and family, Lieut. Beehler, United States navy, and family; J. D. Yeo- mans an4 family, T! J. Brown and wi J. H. King and wife, C. W. Chapman and wife, Mrs. J. P. Chapmay, Mr. and Mrs, Harris, A. T. Gibbons and wife, David 8. isarry and family Gnd others. L. Q. W. CANT ENFORCE THE LAW. Secretary Carlisle cud a Delegation From the Wholesale Druggists. Secretary Carlisle practically admits that he is unable to properly execute the pro- visions of the new tariff exempting from taxation alcohol used in the arts, for the reason that Congress failed altogether to provide the necessary means for such ex- ecution, and therefore that it may be neces- sary to postpone action in the matter alto- gether until Congress shall have an op- portunity to provide a remedy. This im- portant admission was publicly made yes- terday afternoon to a committee represent- ing the National Wholesale Druggists’ As- scciation, who had called to confer with Secretary Carlisle and Mr. Miller, commis- sioner of the internal revenue, in regard to the free alcohol section of the tariff bill. Mr. G. A. Kelly of Pittsburg, who led the delegation, stated that the association, and he believed the druggists generally through- out the country, were in favor of free alcohol for the arts and in legitimate medi- cinal preparations. They had, however, but little time to either examine the bill or to discuss its features among themselves. Nevertheless, he believed that a great mi jority of the large users of alcohol in medi- cines were opposed to any bill that would leave the door open to fraud upon the government revenues, and that they would rather the law should fail than that this should result. Secretary Carlisle explained the dilemma in which he and Commissioner Miller found themselves. The law was a mere skeleton, without money or machin- ery to put it into operation, nor could the department employ agents to be paid by the manufacturers themselves—the statutes expressly prohibiting it. Altogether he could not see how it was possible to enforce the law without proper supervision, and the lack of this would undoubtedly lead to unlimited fraud. Then, again, it was a very perplexing and gifficult thing, the Seo- retary sald, to determine just what OF: struction should be put upon the wo “the arts,” “medicinal preparations” and “other like compounds.” There were likely to be very great differences of opinion on this subject. He, however, would be gl d of any aid the wholesale druggists or any ene else could give him. Mr. Carlisle's explanation, most of the members of the delegation thought, render- ed any further talk unnecessary. They Were frank to admit that they saw no way out of the difficulty, except to let the mat- ter go over until the next session of Con- gress. At the unanimous request of the delegation the Secretary agreed to hold the matter open for a few days to enable the members of the association to present their views. a3 AS. 3 The Cost ie.

Y. Ave. 2a eae | ——s To Succeed Col. McKaig. The Allegany county democratic conven- tion met in Cumberland, Md., yesterday. Every district in the county was represent- ed. Congressman McKaig made a speech pre- dicting de:nocratic success in the coming campaign. He praised Mr. Ferdinand Wil- liams very highly, and said it was his inten- tion to go with Mr. Williams into every county in the district and do everything in his power for his election. A motion instructing the delegates to use all honorable means to have Ferdinand Wil- Mams of Allegany county nominated for Congress at the sixth district convention at Hagerstown on September 12 was@.nuni- mously agreed to. The administration of President Cleveland, the cougge of Congress- | man MeKaig and the Wilsom tariff act were all indorsed, DAMMING THE MISSISSIPPI. Mr. Michael Giyes Sqme Particulars of Gen. Bailey's Work. “I notice,” said Mr, W, H, Michael to a Star reporter, “that The Star's article re- viewing the life of the late Gen. Nathantel P. Banks made the mistake of giving the wrong name to the army officer who pro- posed the plan for building a series of dams across the rocks at the falls above Alex- andria, La., and thus raising the water nigh enough to let the imprisoned gunboats pass over. His neme was Bailey, not Daily, as your article stated. He was lieu- tenant colonel of the fourth Wisconsin vol- unteers, and acting as chief engineer of the nineteenth army corps, commanded by Gen. Franklin. “This Was a grand piece of engineering, and the man who suggested it and superin- tended the execution of it deserves to have his name rightly printed. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and re- ceived the thanks of Congress for this val- uable service. It is interesting to note that Gen. Bafiey was not a regularly educated elvil engineer, but was the product of ‘hard knocks’ and practical experience on the water courses of the northwest, and pos- sibly in the state of Maine as a lumber- man. In this avocation he had learred to construct and use dams to cvercome ob- stacles arising from shallow water in shal- low streams in getting out rafts of logs and lumber. He had used this same knowledge two yeurs before in taking two large trans- ports, which had been concealed in Tho:np- son's creek by the confederates, and which fell into our hands when Port Hudson was taken. “When Col. Bailey proposed the rescue of the gunboats by means of dams the profes- sional engineers said it was madness, and ridiculed the idea. The water was too swift, they argued, to admit of such an ex- pedient. Admiral Porter, however, fell in with the proposition at once; indeed, he was en in figuring out some such plan when Col. Bailey's plan was brought to bis attention. The colonel was sanguine of suc- cess, and the entire force of the fleet and a large army force were placed at his dis- posal. All the mills in the vicinity were torn down for material, and three regi- ments were set to work felling trees, while thousands of others engaged in bringing brick and stone; quarries were opened and flatboats built to float the stone down to where it was wanted. Every one worked with unabated vigor, although most of the men engaged doubted the ultimate sufecess of the enterprise. In eight days the dams were completed, and the water had :isen so as to let four vessels over the falls just as the dam collapsed. The accident,” in- stead of disheartening, only served to en- courage and stimulate Col. Balley and the sailors and soldiers who had worked waist- deep in water for days in building the washed-out dam. Four vessels had been saved, and the others must be saved in the same manner. All hands went cheer- fully to work again in the broiling sun, up to their necks in water, and worked un- ceasingly by reliefs until another dam was built. This timé, instead of one dam, a se- ries of wing dams were built, leaving an open space of fifty fect for the vessels to pass through. When done, the vessels passed through without accident, except the unshipping of a few rudders. “Col. Batley wus the hero of the day, and was given an ovation by both army and navy that few men during the war 1e- ceived from enthustasttc admirers. His work saved to the country over two mil- lion dollars, and deprived the enemy of the Satisfaction of seeing a valuable fleet of gunboats destroyed.” —_——___ WHERE THE FLAMES RAGED. Somet! img About Great Forest Region of the Northwest. It is difficult for persons unfamiliar with the great forest region of the northwest to understand how fire can sweep over 'a vast territory and wipe out towns and villages despite all human effort to stay its progress. The territory lying between Duluth, on the shore of Lake Superior, and St. Paul, two hundred miles away, is nearly level, or, at most, only slightly rolling from the base of the rise that occurs a few miles back of the lake to within forty miles of St. Paul. Almost every acre of this vast domain Is covered with pine woods from which the larger trees have already been cut. A num- ber of large marshy places exist in the tract during the wet spring weather, upon which grows luxuriant grass. When the summer comes these marshes ~ become dry and the grass dies and makes huge beds of inflammable tinder. The pine woods are filled with the dried tops and branches of th€ trees that have been cut down by lumbermen and the earth is cover- ed with this sort of debrig lying ‘Upon a carpet of dry ping néedles which haveac- page omcetaes (oF. countess ages. Above this, in turn, stands an almost impenetrable un- ‘gtowth, for the larger part killed in the Unsuccessful battle for sustenance from the overtexed soll, and from this, In turn, grews: the pine trees so thickly biaced together that passage through them is difficult.

The towns and villages in the country described are generally the result of two causes: the in- troduction of a railroad and the establish- ment of a siding or the foundation of a lumber camp. The streams are small af- fairs, and never wide enough to prevent fire easily crossing them, and most of them are bridged in places innumerable by pines that have fallen over them, across which the fire eats its way with steady persistence when it has not reached the all powerful properties of a rushing wall of flames. The towns and villages are usually built on the banks of streams whose water gives steam power to the lumber mills and are sur- rounded on all sides by the jungle like for- est, so when the latter ts on fire they can be saved only by the intervention of a storm or a miracle. The railroads in the section run through a right of way that is kept cleared of all trees and undergrowth for a distance of fifty feet on each side of the tracks, and an idea of the intense heat of the existing con- flagration may be gained when it is known that the trains which were licked up by the fire during the past few days were fifty feet away from the woods. ——_.>—__ FLASHED TO PIKE’S PEAK. A Message Sent Sixty-Six Miles by the Hellograph,. The sun has carried a message from the top of the Equitable building, Denver, to Pike's Peak, sixty-six miles. It was a remarkable feat in hellography signaling, but its success was fully up to expectations. Several days ago Sergts. McGlone, Mc- Laughlin and Bissell left Denver for Pike's Peak to make the experiment. This was a message which was flashed from the top of the snow-covered peak: “PIKE'S PEAK, September 3. “To Capt. Glassrod, Denver: We greet you via beam. Arrived at 4 p.m. yes- terday; snow storm prevented our opening station. (Signed.) McGLONE. Experiments will be continued at certain hours for three days of this week, at the end of which the signal men will start for their attempt to flash a message from Mount Uncompahgre to Mount Ellen, 18% miles. The flashes of the mirrors on Pike's Peak could be distinctly seen by the naked eye during the transmisston of the message. The Peak was first called from the Den- ver side of the line, and within five minutes after the operators began their work, the responsive flash telling that Pike’s Peak was ready to talk. Capt. Glassrod express- ed himself as delighted with the result of the trial. An interesting feature of the work fs that neither of the operating parties had the slightest idea of the message that was to be transmitted. Telescopes are used in fo- cusing the flash, but after the field opera- tions are located the work is done by the use of the mirror and screen. aseairess sna DR.

Doctor's RAN AWAY WITH THE HEIR Elopement of a Cash Girl and a Millionaire's £ Beston Society Stirred Up Over the tc Event—Romantic Story of t tect, . omy. | Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, - BOSTON, Mass., September 5.—Boston scclety is agog over the news of the sensa- tional elopement of Bert: White, twenty- one years old, son of R. H. White, Bos- ton’s multt-millionaire dry goods merchant, with Mies Lucy Bartlett, a sixteen-year-old cesh girl, employed in his father’s big store. The couple went to New York last Wed- nesday, In company with the bride’s mar- ried sister and husband, were married next day and returned to Boston yesterday. The story of the young couple's acquaint- ance is @ romantic one. Two years ago little Lucy Bartlett of South Boston grad- uated from the grammar school and enter- ed the employ of R. H. White & Co. as a cesh girl in order to assist in supporting her widowed mother. She was then but fourteen years of age. It was not long be- fore her doll-like beauty attracted the at- tention of the young man, and he began paying her special attention, at first in a discreet way, but later in more open fashion. A few months ago Mr. White went abroad and left his son in a position of authority in the store. He at once pro- moted the cash girl to a position in his office, and began to load her with pres- ents. He would take her about the store and ask her if she liked this or that, and if she did he had it charged to his account and presented it to her. It is stated on excellent authority that the goods thus given the girl for wedding presents and wedding outfit reached $10,000. Bert White also went to the firm of Heuston & Henderson and had $1,000 worth of purchases charged to his account. The trousseau included six costumes of the most expensive sort. Preparing to Elope. The preparations for an elopement were progressing in direct violation of an agree- ment with the girl's mother. In April last the young man had called on Mrs. Bartlett an. requested permission to marry her daughter, She was reluctant on account of the difference in circumstances of the par- ties, and also on account of the extreme youthfulness of her daughter. The lover pleaded hard, however, and she finally con- sented, on hi3 promising to wait two years before marrying. Plans were made for the yevng girl to go to school in the meantime and fit herslf tor the station which she was to occupy as the wife of a wealthy man. She is a member of the Methodist Sunday school in Scuth Boston, and a short time ago secured a promise from Rev. W. T. Perrin, her pastor, to marry them a year from next spring. A few weeks ago the father of the boy re- turned and found the girl queening it over the others in the store, and discovered the cause. The Girl Discharged. She was discharged, and the son ordered out of the store and away from home alto- gether. He proceeded at once to New York, where he obtained @ position as traveling salesman for a large cloak house. Having thus achieved independence, he was in a pcsition to offer his hand, as well as his heart, to the girl of his choice. Last Wednesday the decisive step was taken under cover of .a yacation trip with Mrs. Harry Frost, sister of the bride, and Mr. Frost as companions and witnesses. The groom is tall and splendidly formed, while the bride is so petite that she appears, beside her husband, a Veritable midget. She is a pronqunced blonde, and her appearance is quite juvenile. Herface wears a piquant expression, with just a touch of Milesian sprightliness in it. ign MASONS AT TOPEKA. ~ASt¢ The Leading Officers, of the Order Hold Sessions. Speeiat Correspondence of The- Rvening Star. TOPEKA, Kan,, August 31, 1804, This city during the past week has been given up to the Masonic fraternity. The General Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons of the United States and also the General Grand Council of Royal and Select Master Masons were both in session. All but one or two of the states and territories were represented. . ,, Few matters of importance in the way of legislation came before the organization. ‘George L. McCahan of Baltimore was ex- alted to the office of general grand high priest. The other officers were promoted in the order of their succession. The grand high priest of Iowa was elected to the va- cancy left at the foot of the line in the of- fice of general grand master of the first wpe There was a great rivalry among the cities of Baltimore, Boston and Hartford— all of which claim to have had something to do with the early organization and for- mation of the body—to have the honor of entertaining the next meetings. Baltimore carried off the prize on the second ballot. Washington, because of its proximity to the monumental city, will probably at that time entertain the greater part of the dele- gates to the pao oe Most of the dele- gates at the present session, in speaking of going to Baltimore, did not omit to de- clare that one of their chief desires in go- ing to that city was to have the privilege of being so near the national capital. The delegates from the capital city were Noble D. Larner, past general grand high priest; George E. Corson, general grand master of the first vell; George H. Walker, grand high priest; Frank L. Campbell, deputy grand high priest; Alexander H. Holt, grand king, and Theodore G. DeMoll, grand scribe. They held a reception on Wednesday evening, which was largely at- tended. Companion Larner officiated in the in- stallation of the new officers, among whom was Companion Corson of the District of Columbia, who was promoted to be general grand master of the second veil. Companions Holt, Corson and Walker represented Washington Council in the as- sembly of the General Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters. Ex-Congress- man Coburn of New York was elected to the office of general grand master. Wide-awake committees received all dele- gates at the depots when they reached the city and escorted them to the hotels. A re- ception was given on Tuesday night and on Thursday a special train took everybody to Fort Riley, sixty or seventy miles away, where Gen. Forsythe, commandant of that post, had arranged a program that proved interesting and instructive. At 2 o'clock a dinner was served and toasts were respond- ed to by Gov. Prince of New Mexico, Gen, Forsythe and many others. A base bali game was played on: the parade grounds between a nine from Wmporia and the soldiers from Fort Riléy. “Those who cared neither for the speec! nor the ball game roamed over the regérvation and visited, among other points, the monument in mem- ory of Capt. Ogden, ‘whieh is erected on the hill overlooking Re jprrounding coun- try and sald to be at the éxact geographical center of the United Stateg. At 5 o'clock the special train conveyed the party to Junctioh City, a few miles farther west, where the’Masons had pre- pared supper. 1 From Fort Riley the visitors could see at a distance the remaiis of the buildings at Pawnee where the fuyt legislature of Kan- sas held its sessions. A hole in the wall of one of them could be distinctly seen which told the story a cannon siliot fired during those trouvlesgine Limes. One feature of the entertainment pro- vided for the visitors by the companions of a was a carriage ride around the city. w. —— THE FALCON HEARD FROM. Peary Relief Expedition W . Godhaven on July 17. The Peary relief expedition has been heard from. The Danish vessel Tjalfe, commanded by Capt. Brick, has arrived at Copenhagen from Greenland, and the captain reports that he met the members of the expedition at Godhaven on July 17. All were well. The party was to proceed northward that day. The Peary rellef expedition was sent out by the Philadelphia Geographical Club. It left St. Johns on the steamer Falcon in the latter part of June, and its first stop was to be at Godhaven, Disko Island, 4» North Greenland Seen at LATE SPORTI NG NE ws! stances the Prince of Wales would eae BUNCHED THEIR HITS, The Browns Made a Garrison Finish and Won. After scoring six runs in the first inning in the game against St. Louis yesterday the home team finally lost the contest, the game being called in the saventh on account of darkness. ‘George Haddock, the ex-Sen- ator, occupied the box for the home team, and Frank Ward played center field in place of Abbey. Mr. Betts, the new um- pire, appeared “raster of the field” for the first time on the local grounds, and clearly proved to every unbiased spectator that he has no superiors in the business. He is the only umpire seen here this season who has maintained proper order on the field, he has sufficient backbone to enforce his decisions immediately, and he was im- partial, The only rulings open to question were in declaring Quinn and Selbach out at the plate. From the stand it looked to many as though the runners were safe, but the umpire was within a few feet of the play. Although eight earned runs and ten hits were made off Haddock, he pitched a fairly good game, considering his long absence from the diamond. At the bat he showed up well, making two hits, one of them a double. Clarkson pitched the first inning for St. Louis. He gave Scheibeck and Joyce first on balls, they scoring on Ward’ single. McGuire and Selbach singled. Cart- wright filled the bases on a base on balls. McGuire crossed the plate on Radford’s sac- rifice, as did Selbach and Cartwright on Haddock’s double. Schelbeck made the third man out. At the opening of the second inning Breit- enstein took the field in place of Clarkson, and the Senators could do little with him. St. Louis tallied four times in the first, twice in the third and again four times in the sixth, all by lucky conse-utive hit- ting. McGuire and Connor made home runs, and the former had two singles to his credit in addition. The score: WASHINGTON. ST. LOUIS. -H.0.A.E.

Abbey stood second with dock did not show himself a failure by any means yesterday. His friends re- gret that he didn't win, but the Browns had on their batting clothes and to win was not on the cards. AGAIN THE UMPIRE! He Never Will Decide Everything in Favor of the Home Team. “Again the umpire,” explains the un- biased spectator. “The man who essayed to pilot yesterday's game through the shal- lows of disapproval from the bleachers was the wretchedest excuse for a fair man that ever walked. Had he been even half way just the game would have been won by the Statesmen, 2 to 1, though Haddock was hit hard and often, and the fielding of the home team was tinged deeply in ochre. For example, he had the effrontery to de- cide two close home-plate decisions the same way, although they were exactly the same. One robbed the Senators of a run. The other play, which was precisely the same, was called against the visitors, for a won- der. “An example of this robbery will serve to show the agony which the spectators en- dured while the Senators played poorly. An easy bounder was hit down to Joyce, who made a gallant effort to stop the sphere. He fumbled two or three times, and then, with a splendid try, managed to get the ball within three feet of Cart- wright’s hands. The runner was then past the bag and the bleachers turned away, sickened, when the highwayman in the blue cap behind the catcher called the man safe. “When the Senators were at the bat Mc- Guire snapped a smart one down to the Freedman’s Hospital, which dropped about fifteen feet north of the line. It was an agony to hear that Jack Shepard at the rubber yell: ‘Foul ball.” “A Senator tried to steal second in the fifth and the ball was put on his back be- fore he had touched the bag. Any one but a rank beginner would have called the Washington man safe, but this travesty upon umpires robbed the home team and gave the play to the visitors. And so it went through the game. It began to grow dark in the sixth inning, and although Washington was ahead, the pirate in the pay of President Young refused to call the game, and thus the last chance that the Senators had to win was taken from them.” Had it not been for the hard hitting of the visitors and the poor field work of the Washingtons the game might, with reason- able number of unfair decisions in favor of the home team, have been chalked up in favor of Washington. Again the umpire. VIGILANT WITHDRAWS. The Loss of the Centerboard Preve: a Race for the Cape May Cup. It has finally been decided that there will be no race this year for the Cape May challerge cup held by the Britannia, on account of the loss of the Vigilant's center- board while on her way to Cowes, as de- scribed in yesterday's Star. The sailing committee of the Royal Yacht Squadron late yesterday afternoon sent a letter to Mr. Howard Gould, who was on board the Vigilant. saying that under the circum- the challenge for the cup as withdrawn. Both the Messrs. Gould, Capt. Hank Haff and the crew of the Vigilant generally are greatly depressed at this last accident to the American yacht, Howard Gould, dis- cussing the matter, said: “It is most unfortunate that we should be compelled to end the season’s racing in this manner. The only explanation I can give for the loss of the centerboard is that the casting made at Southampton was de- fective. The accident occu yesterday, ust as we were inside the Needles, and {n five fathoms of water. The board gave the Vigilant several very hard bumps as we dragged it along for some distance, and then suddenly it broke entirely off. “As to the cause of the accident, I do not believe that we struck a rock or anything else, and the pilot was in no way to biame. After our arrival here we made up our minds to race, centerboard or no center- board, so lorg as we were allowed to ship extra ballast enough.to make up for the loss of the centerbourd. We had shipped an extra crew, and were going to do our best to recapture the Cape May cup. We informed the Prince of Wales of our pur- pose, but an hour ago I received this note from the committee, informing us that under the circumstances the ince of Wales would consider the challenge with- drawn. Accordingly, I have written to the — formally withdrawing the chal- jenge. “Of course, if we had insisted the Britan- nia would have raced, but I felt we had no right to jeopardize the cup in this way. We could hardly have hoped to do ourselves justice without any cen: , and had the Britannia won, as she probably would, America’s chances of seeing the cup again would have been small, as Britannia would only have to win it once more in order to become its possessor. “There seems to be a fatality about our centerboard over here, and I don’t wonder 4hat the English don’t like them; I don't like them myself now. Centerboards are certainly the last things one wants on most of these courses. The pilots here can never realize how much we draw with them, and there is constant danger from that source.” Vigilant will be laid up immediately, and her crew will be shipped home so soon as she is dismantled, and this will probably be within a week. It is pleasant to record the feeling and comment at the Royal Yacht Squadron castle as being totally different from that expressed on the occasion of the former accident to the American yacht. The utmost sympathy is now expressed for the Messrs. Gould, and for the splendid racing yacht which they own. YESTERDAY'S RACING. > everywhere.
