As a News and Advertising Medium it has noe competitor. t71n order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addrensea to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = No Cup Winning on Technicalities. Those Americans who have control of the arrangements as to the international yacht races should be instantly anxious to so arrange matters that there can be unques- tionable competition between Defender and Valkyrie Satisfactory to the two nations most Jeeply interested and especially satis- factory to Americans was the race which took place last Saturday. The sailing qualities of the yachts were developed and it wus proven conclusively that under the conditions which then prevailed Defender was the better yacht and possibly a better handled yacht than was Valkyrie. Tues- day’s race was disappointing, for at the outset the American boat was crippled by Valkyrie to such en extent as to render impessible the use of a considerable pro- portion of the great sail area necessary to rapid motion In a light breeze. Protest was properly made, and, after considera- ticn by the committee having such mat- ters in charge, was sustained; thus giving Defender the second race. Today, what promised to be a pretty struggle for su- premacy was spoiled by the interference of a boat which blanketed Valkyrie and thus affected seriously the English yacht's chances. The obstructiveness of the inter- fering boat was promptly resented by Lord Dunraven, for Valkyrie at once shortened sail, put about and proceeded to anchor- age. Technically, Defender may be said to have won this third race, but it would never do to insist upon that; it would be unmanly, unsportsmanlike, un-American. Mr. Iselin, who ts at the head of the syndi- cate owning Defender, has expressed him- self es anxious to have Tuesday’s race re- sailed, and has, it is understood, requested Lord Dunraven to accept a proposition to that effect. That Mr. Iselin will do prac- tically the same thing as to the broken-off contest of today is also probable. Mr. Iselin is, in every sense of the word, a gentleman, and an enthusiastic believer in cleanly sport. Whatever of friction has existed in connection with these important competitions has had its origin in the crowding tactics of captains of excursion steamers and tug boats and even of private yachts. In a communication to the Amer- ica’s Cup Committee, Lord Dunraven forc- ibly called attention to the misbehavior complained of by declining to sail Valkyrie any more under the circumstances that prevailed Saturday and Tuesday. His de- clination—which is wholly to be com- mended—is based upon the following ree- sons: “First—To attempt to start two such large vessels in such confined space and among moving steamers and tugboats is, in my opinion, exceedingly dangerous, and I wiil no further risk the lives of my men or the *riBecond—At the start of the first race the crowding was so great that we could not see the mark boat and could not tell when we were near the line; and we were much hampered by steamers, especially on the race home. “Today on the reach home eight or nine steamers were to the windward of me, and, what was worse, a block of steamers were steaming level with me and close under my lec. I sailed nearly the whole distance in tumbling, broken water, in the heavy wash of these steamers. “To race under these conditions is, in my opinion, absurd, and 1 decline to submit myself to them again. Tke remedy for such conditions ts to be found in the suggestion made by Lord Dun- raven some time ago that the races should be sailed off Marblehead or some other point distant from a large city. To pre- vent the interference of excursion steamers in New York waters will always be prac- tically impossible unless the United States Navy polices the course, but there will be no trouble at all from obstructive craft if the races should take place in the Atlantic outside the Eastern shore of Maryland or, as Lord Dunraven suggested, somewhere along the New England coast. But no matter where the races are sailed, the cup must be Jost or won on the merits of the respective yachts and their crews. We have no use for a trophy won on techni- calities. —__+ ++ __—_. In Capt. Fiebiger’s annual report, which eppeared in Tuesday's Star, reference is made to the fact that two of the old-style wooden bridges, entirely too common in this city, were replaced by steel-girder corstructions. These improvements are catse for congratulation, but it will not do to be satisfied with so little. Engineer Hunt, who has charge of bridge construc- tion and repairs, is very emphatic in ad- vising that the K street bridge over Rock creek be reconstructed, and that similar action be taken as to the Navy Yard bridge over the Eastern Branch and the M street bridge over Rock Creek. The amount of Money required to carry out these recom- mendations is by no means extravagantly large, so the Commissioners should insist to the extent of their ability upon con- gressional provision for these needs. —_—___ ++ ___—_ It is perfectly evident that the act of the legislativ2 assembly requiring the Bal- timore and Ohio to maintain flagmen and lanternmen at all its grade crossings and throughout the entire night until the ar- rival or departure of the last train is in full force. Now for its application. —_—___~ ¢« _____. It is feared that several “favorite sons” are getting into training to become prodigal crs. —____ +++ __ ‘The Passing of the Trolley. Now that !t appears to be certain that the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Street Rail- road Company will at once remove the illegal and obstructive poles and wires from New York avenue east of Seventh street, The Star thinks it timely to sketch very briefly the combat which, after years of duration, has at last resulted in victory for those who have been alert in the peo- ple's best interest. As the unquestioned leader of the anti-trolley forces—from the first skirmish down to the trolley’s belated surrender—The Star has no reason to be otherwise than proud of the part it has taken in the struggle. When the initial suggestion of overhead trolley was made, The Star, as a part of its general warfare upon all overhead wires in Wasaington, at once took the ground that such construc- tion as was propozed would be entirely out of place on the thoroughfares of a great city and conspicuously so on the streets and avenues of a model city such as Wash- ington is soon destined to be. Congress, however, was careless for awhile on the whole subject, but when the reasonable Probabilities were made plain the national legislature decreed that on and after a Gate named there should be no further stringing of overhead wires of any sort whatever within the city limits. Unfor- tunately though, that decree was of no effect so far as the Eckington ard Soldiers’ Home road was coicerned. for the mana ment of the company at once proceeded to take advantage of the fact that the law ‘Was practically not a law until the specified date, and before the statute could be ap- Plied the poles and wires were up on New York avenue. There was general condem- nation of the hasty ection of the company, but efforts to put a stop to the sharp prac- tee by which the anti‘dverttead-wire law was in part nullified proved to be unavail- ing. Temporarily defeated, The Star never- theless was not dishedrtened ~and it~ con- tinued its warfare against unsightly and otherwise undesirable system of street- car propulsion ut?’ at* last -Congress enacted the leg:slative provision which gave to the trolley a three-years’ Hmit of ex- istence. The term was‘made-of that length because there was no desire elther in Con- gress or elsewhere to deal harshly with the responsible parties, and because it was imagined that the company would inside of three years find some suitable under- ground method of: propulsion that ,would take the place of the electrical kindergarten method which the company had insisted upon installing. Whea..the . three-years’ limit had almost been reached, the company applied to Congress for an extension: of one year, and this, in spite of strenuous opposition, was secured; in fact the pro- trolley forces were so strong in Congress at that time that the city of Washington had a narrow escape—about as close a shave as was possible—from having the overhead trolley, thrust upon it over its entire area by an active organization of trolley advocates in the House of Represen- tatives, led by Tom Johnson of Ohio. ‘That was probably the bitterest stage of ‘the conflict, but despite all. manner of influ- ences The Star, although alone among local newspapers in its contest against the trolley, continued to maintain the offeasive- defensive and succeed2ed in staving off everything except the one proposition that an additional year of grace be given the Eckington company. But when a second effort was made for extension there was no spirit of compromise anywhere. The trolley people fought savagely, for they knew that existence itself was at stake. The Star was no less in earnest, and as the result the application for extension failed. After Congress had adjourned and there was no longer any possibility of the company’s securing favors from the national legisla- ture, and when the last day of grace al- lewed to the company had expired, the mat- ter fell into the hands of the District Com- missioners, and to these officials The Star addressed itself in terms that could not Possibly be m{!sapprehended. For the ex- tremely deliberate management of their campaign against the Eckington company ever since that corporation set out to openly @efy the law the Commissioners alone are responsible. Finally, reaching the conclu- sion that the methods of procedure advo- cated in this paper were most likely to be fruitful of result, the Commissioners did what they should have done before, and as a direct consequence the company has pledged itself to remove the poles and wires within ten days, and, using horses tempor- arily, to speedily install an unobjectionable rapid transit system. And thus comes about the passing of the overhead trolley in Washington. —__+ +e _____ Arctic explorers are generally inclined to deride M.

An Important Distinction. “Look here,” said the managing editor of a New York paper, “this story is utterly without foundation. Who wrote it?” “A man that we took on about a week ag replied the city editor. “Well, I'd speak to him about it. If he did it by accident, discharge him. If it is an intentional fake, give bim extra pay for it.” “When er man loses his respeck foh ebry ting he sees or hyahs,” said Uncle Eben, “his se’f-respeck ginerally goes ‘long wid de res’.”” A Shattered Ideal. I loved a fair maiden—twas some years ago, But she’s lost in the season's mad hu- mors— For I've learned that this girl whom I doted on 80, Chews gum and alee slang and wears bloomers. Would Not Have It. “Young man,” said the editor of the comic paper, severely, “this is a joke.”” “Yes, sir.” “A real joke.”” “I think so.” “And I presume you want pay for it.” ‘4 like its equivalent.” “Take it back. Journalism has a dignity which must be sustained. You can’t joke at this paper's experse, sir.” Sure of It. “There’s money in stocks,”’ sald the man who is young and enthusiastic. “Yes,” replied his seasoned friend; “I'm sure there is, I have been putting half my salary there for the last four years, and that’s all there yet.” Couldn’t Fool Her. “Charley,” said young Mrs. Toeker, “didn’t you tell me that Lord Dunraven was racing on the square?” “Certainly, dear.” “Well, he's not. “What do you mean?” “I mean that with all your pretense of superior knowledge you can be mistaken as easily as anybody. I have looked at the diagram of the course in the newspapers. They are not racing on the square at all. They are racing on the triangle.” Woodward A N D Lothrop, 10TH, 11TH AND F STS.
