RETURN OF THE VALKYRIE The races of the half-raters, Spruce IV and Ethelwynn, for the Seawanhaka inter- national challenge cup will begin Saturday and continue every day for five days or until one wins three races, Sundays ex- cepted. First course, three miles to wind- ward or leeward and return, sailed over twice, making twelve miles. Second course, triangular, two miles to a leg, sailed twice, twelve miles. And alternate thus. If the water is too rough in Long Island sound, they will be sailed inside Oyster bay, in which neither owner has ever sailed. The time limit will be five hours. Every effort will be made by the Sea- wanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club’s racing committee to make the races successful in every way. Mr. Brand, owner of Spruce, need hardly fear that he will not be guar- anteed a clear course. Mr. Brand’s boat has been in a ship vard since Thursday, and Mr. Brand himself is now at Oyster bay, the guest of the Sea- wanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club; under the auspices of which the races are to be held. He will tune up Spruce IV during the early days of this week. The oppor- tunity that he will have of testing the cur- rents in the bay and out on the sound will Place the tiny rivals cn an even footing. Spruce IV’s owner is said to be concerned over the $48 duty that he was obliged to pay upon the yacht. His claim is that rac- ing craft have never been taxed and that canoelsts from Canada, who have come here to attend Amer‘cen canoe meets, have never been obliged even to put their canoe in bond. Secretary Charles Sherman of the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Cluk racing committee is looking up the law on the sub- ject, with a view to having the duty re-, funded. Mr. C. J. Field, the owner of the little defender Ethelwynn, will sail the boat him- self, together with Mr. B. C. Ball. ‘BITHER CAN WITHDRAW. Lord Dunraven Believes in a Fair Field for Contestants. Lord Dunraven, owner of the British yacht Valkyrie, wrote Friday to the Ater- ica’s cup committee at length regarding his position in refusing to sail the third race with the Defender. In the letter he days: “I hold that in any match a fair fleld and no favor ts a condition precedent to any agreement as to terms, and, fatling in that, any party has a perfect rigbt to withdraw absolutely or unconditionally. ‘The articles of an agreement cannot and are not intended to lay down fixed rules to meet every imaginable. contingency. Cer- tain contingencies have arisen, as you are aware, confining myself to the subject of my letter on overcrowding. As far back as October I wrote concerning the difficulty of insuring a clear course, and I did not insist upon my views, because I thought the persons responsible should he free to take the steps that chey thought best in the matter. His Desire to Sa “In view of their failure in this respect, it might have been better if, in my letter of the 10th instant, I had absolutely with- drawn. But my desire to sail off the races was great and I withdrew conditionally and suggested the steps which I. thought would remove the difficulty. These steps were not taken, and I held to my deter- mination to sail no more, and in so act- ing, I emphatically deny that I went back in any way on the agreement as to terms. “I did not know whether My. Canfield and Mr. Busk officially represented the committee when they came to see me at the Waldorf. I judged by their conver- sation that they did not, and I understood from that that the cummittee had not come to a definite conclusion upon the letter. I now conclude from your com- munication that they were officially rep- resenting the committee. In that case the proposal made by the committee was that I should withdraw from the determination expressed in my letter of the 10th instant, and that I should sail the third and pos- sibly the final race on condition that suf- ficient room was secured at the start, and that in any further races my suggestion that the dates for the races and the time of starting should not be made public should be carried out. “I so far withdrew my lettes of the 10th instant as to say that I would sail the third race if the committee would under- take to declare the race void “if, in their judgment, either vessel was interfered with by the steamers, the committee put- ting anybody they liked abbard the yach: I was willing to leave the matter in their hands, stipulating only that they put en experienced and practical yachtsman on Valkyrie III. No Wish to Discuss It. 4 “As far as I am concerned, I have no wish to continue the discussion, which you accurately describe as superfluous, and will conclude by expressing regret that if any desire to resail Tuesday’s race was known to exist the regatta committee did not order ¢t resailed under article 10 of the New York Yacht Club regulations, in which case, whatever my opinion as to the cause of the foul may be, I should have been at the disposal of the committee, and that the cup committee could not see its way to adopting what appears to us a simpler course of hoisting the letter ‘G’ yesterday and postponing the race to such time as they had arrived at a definite con- clusion upon my letter pf the 10th instant. “I have the honor to remain, very faith- fully, DUNRAVEN.” MR. ISELIN'S TWO OFFERS. Trying to Give Lord Dunraven An- other Chance for the Cup. At a meeting of the officers of the New York Yacht Club Friday night, according to the New York Herald, this proposition was submitted by Mr. C. O. Iselin, one of the Defender’s owners, for discussion and action: To c2ll off the races of September 10 and 12 and offer Lord Dunraven to-satl two other races in their stead. > The race of the 10th instant was the one in which the foul occurred, and that of the 12th instant when the Valkyrie withdrew. Mr. Iselin desired and was particularly anxious that both the races be swept from the record. He wanted them resailed, and advocated, it is said, the favorable, con- sideration of the proposition as the best way out of the difficulty confronting them. After a most amicable thcugh prolonged discussion the questicn was submitted to the gentlemen present, and the result was in the negative. They did not think it best to entertain Mr. Iselin’s proposition, and unhesitatingly said so. A second proposition, also by Mr. Iselin, was made. It was as follows: ‘To reopen the whole question of the races and to call off all that had h This done, to offer Lord Dunrave: him three other races for the cup. In other words, to begin anew and wip2 out the old record. This was also negatived. Return of the Valkyrie. Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie will sail for home next Saturday or the following Mon- day. She will not leave her present berth in the Erle basin until she is towed to sea She will carry a crew of only twenty-five men under Capts. Cranfleld and Sycamore. On her westward yoyage there were so many men in each watch that they almost stumbled over one another when they were cn deck. Those members of the crew who not return on the Valkyrie will be sent ne on one of the White Star line steam- hips. I think I'll never see America again,” said Capt. Cranfield to a Herald reporter. “I have heard that Lord Dunraven will never challenge for*the cup again, and I believe that ke won't.” Mr. Vanderbilt Denies. . ‘William K. Vanderbilt stated last night at Newport that the report that he was to race Defender abroad was pure fiction. AMERICA’S CRACK ATHLETES. Championship Track and Field Sports of the A. A.

No one was surprised at Molesworth be- ing batted so hard by the Phillies Satur- day. It was a difficult place for the young pitcher. Saturday witnessed the close of the base ball seascn in Virginia.

There will be two sets of foot ball rules governing the intercollegiate contests this4 fall. One set has been drawn up and agreed to by Harvard, Cornell and Penn- sylvaria, and the other by Yale’and Prince- ton. The rules of the former colleges will not make many radical changes in the game as played last year, except that the backs will receive more protection, but it is understood that Princeton and Yale will pley under a code that will totally abolish the modern style of play. It has been learned that the old-fashioned game of lining up seven men ard doing most of the attack with the backs unassisted by wedg or movable mass plays will be revive In this way the rush line will not be w lowed,to gather in twos and threes back of the line when in possession of the ball, but the center, guards, tackles and ends will be compelled to hold their fixed places until after the ball is put in play. This is the must radical change made by Yale and Princeton, and was adopted as the best means. of abolishing the dangerous mass plays. PENNSY’S FINE RALLY ee It Forced the Englishmen to’a Second af % THE PHILADELPHIA: CRICKET MATCH A Good-Sized Attendance at the Contest. THIS MORNING’S PLAYING WISSAHICKON, September 16.—Warmer weather and Pennsylvania’s strong rally at the bat on Saturday had the effect of bringing out a good-sized crowd to the cricket match with the English college cricketers today. When stumps were drawn en Saturday the Bennsylvania eleven had made 283 runs for 8 wickets, which, with their 138 runs in the first inning, gave them a total of 421 runs, while the Englishmen made 283 runs in their first inning, with their second yet to play. ‘ The crease today was in good condition.*| Play was resumed at 11 o’clock, with Brock- ie and Goodman defending the wickets. Brockie took the first ball from Milligan for a boundary to square leg. Goodman was bowled out by Hartley. Score 3049-5. J. S. Clark, who was the last man up, was clean bowled by Milligan, without scoring a run. Score 307 10-0. Brockle not out, 41. Extras, 32. This put the Americans 161 runs in the lead, which required the visitors to pile up 162 in their second inning to win. The Englishmen opened their second in- ning with Mitchell and Hill facing the bowling of E. W. Clark and Patterson. Mitchell was cauzht by Goodman off Pat- terson—t-1-1. Hemmingway next up. Hemmingway was ss bowled by Patterson. Score 4 llr Studd was the next man up. Hill caught by Ralston off Patterson. Score 27-3-13 Phillips succeeded Hill.

SAN FRANCISCO, Séptember 16.—The California ahd Pacifig Coast jockey clubs have agreed to bury ‘fhe'hatchet. Ata con- ference between thej,directors of the two organizations the cunetdsion was reached that a race track “wat would ruin San “Francisco, as it hag dofie in Chicago and eastern cities, and t@ avpid this deplorable result, tne director: of the two associa- ticns agreed to avert the threatened clash by an Interchange oF dates. The details of thé,atrangements remain to be perfected.

Thése * thor- atters Ww oughly, discussed, byt jo conclusion was reached. There wif’ be. another meeting this week for the.ftirthdr consideration of the plan. . The Middies’ Boat Housé, ‘The rew boat house for the shells of the naval eadets at Annapolis, Md., is practi- cally finished, and awaits the arrival ef the boat crews that they may have the shely- ing in the house put in to suit their needs. The house is 80 feet by 30, and cost, float in- cluded, “about $1,500. This a long-needed necessity, and has come none too soon. The cadets who kept up the interest in shells felt keenly what little aid they received from the government and the officers, while everything was lavished on the gladiators of the gridiron field. The cadets, out of their own pockets, purchased the shells they now own. The present is a happy change. Not only are they to have comfortabie quarters and good housjpg for thetr boats, but a room is to be set apart in the build- ing exclusively for the use of the crews, and a balcony has been erected on the water side of the house, where, when off the restraint of military routine and the call for practice, the crews can stick up their feet as high as their heads and talk it all over, none daring to molest or make them.afraid. After Eastern League Men. It is said that the New York club will begin the work of securing: several young players today. An official of the club will see the Providence-Springfield game, and it is thought that the following men will be sized up: Pitchers Calahan and Rudderham, Catcher McCauley, Shortstop Shannon and First Baseman Rogers.+ Any of these can be drafted, it is said, for $1,000, providing | President. Freedman files the first claim to them. They have been recommended to the New York cJub as about the best in the Eastern League. English Comment on the Results. The Englishmen who attended the A. A. U_ games at Manhattan Ficid on Saturday had an excellent opportunity of judging the abilities of the men against whom they will compete on September 21. Mr. Mon- tague Sherman, vice president of the Lon- don A. C. and manager of the English team, was one of the spectators. In- the evening, after the games, Mr. Sherman spoke concerning the everts of the day. He was greatly taken with the running of Kilpatrick, the half-miler; regarded Wefers favorably and was much impressed by the strength exhibited by big Jim Mitchell. Mr. Sherman did not think very much of “Ste” Chase's hurdling as compared with that of Capt. Godfrey Shaw of the London team. . The Departmental Champions. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing nine defeated the Light: Infantry team on Saturday at Natioridl “Park and thereby won the champiors of the Departmental League.

Lawrence Appler was urrested last night, charged with having assaulted John Haimel tn the night of the 1ith instant, and at- tempting to use on his antagonist a long knife blade. Both parties are nineteen years of age and white. They are said to be leaders of rival tough factions in town. The knife to be used in evidence has been taken, too. It’s an ugly, dangerous-looking blade. Officer Kimmerman arrested Appler and a little later Hamel. The latter will be used as a witness in all probability. Hamel had no desire to prosecute Appler.

The appropriation for the improvement and enlargement of the enleytown public school, which has been available since July, will soon be delved into. Hight rooms will be added to the present building. School facilities have long been scarce, at Teniey- town, and great inconvenience has in con- Sequence been the effect. Many Tenley- towners have for several years been forced to come to Georgetown, a distance of three miles, for accommodation. As soon as the District educational appropriation becomes sufficiently large, and when all voluntary students find no trouble in securing school accommodation, it is the intention of a Prominent patron of education here to im- mediately work for a compulsory system of education. There is at present a statute affecting the District providing for com- pulsory school attendance, etc. but as there is no penalty attached to a non-ob- servance of the legislative act, practically, it has worked no good whatever. ee A DIPLOMAT ARRESTED. Senor Fombona of the Venezuelan Legation Fined in New York.

The last time a policeman saw the incident, and placed the young diplomat under arrest. He asserted his innocence of having any idea of insulting the woman, and declared that he hed spoken to her under the !m- on that she was an acquaintance for whom he was waiting. He had apologized atthe time, and was willing to do so again In the court room, but the complainant re- fused to accept his apology and insisted that he be punished. Senor Fombona was indignant over his arrest, and protested that, being an ac- credited attache of a foreign legation, he was beyond the reach of the officers of the Jaw.

The coroner's jury in the case of young Acton, who met his death by a fall in the new Congressional Library last Friday, re- turned a verdict Saturday afiernoon, after The Star had gone to press. The verdict was as follow: “That the said Walter Acton came to his death accidentally at the Library building Friday, September 13, at about 1:30 o'clock, while in the performance of his duty, said building being in course of construction by the government. The jury also states that he came to his death through the negligence of parties unknown to them, through the construction of the scaffolding where he had been working by crders of his superiors, by reason of -an opening in the floor, which was not properly guarded. The jury further recommend that all such holes be properly guarded when vot in use.”” The funeral took place at 2 o'clock yes- terday afternoon from Bethany Chapel, at the corner of 18% street_and Chio avenue.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS They Will Be Opened for Pupils Next Monday Morning, = t Little Advance in Accommodations Over Last Year—New Buildings Proposed. The public schools of the District of Co- lumbia will be opened next Monday morn- ing. Parents who wish to enter children in the schools for the first time should make application to the principals of the various school buildings between the hours of 8 and 10 a.m. and 4 and 6 p.m., Thurs- day, Friday or Saturday of this week. Upon opening the public schools of the District will not have much better ac- commodations than they enjoyed last year. While two eight-room buildings will be occupied for the first time, the use of two four-rocm buildings will be given up, cne being replaced by the modern school house at Mt. Pleasant, the other a building in the southeast, to be torn down in ord2r to make room for a new structure. Little Advance in Accommodations. As the increase in the enrollment of the public schools averages about 3% per cent per annum, and as the number of pupils enrolled in 1893-94 was 40,678, it can readi- ly be seen that but little, if any, advances Ment in school accommodation has been made. It is thought that very likely there will be more half-day schools during the coming year than there were during the last term. This crowding of the schoois is more noticeable in the northeast than in any other section of the city. Five public school buildings provided for by act of Congress have not yet reached the first Stages of construction, while two or three others are being built, and may be ready for occupancy before the school yebr is more than half over. Five buildings, the construction of which has not yet been ecmmenced, are those to be built at Ten- leytown, Giesboro’, Ivy City, Brookland and on the Conduit road. The Business High School. It Is not yet quite certain whether the old District building will be ready by Mon- day for the occupancy of the Business High School, which is to be located there during the coming year. The enrollinent of the school last year amounted to 405 pupils, which number, it is expected, will be increased during the coming term. The new Businezs High School is located very near to the center of population with ref- erence to the residences of the pupils who will attend the school. Superintendent Davis of the. Business High School esti- mated that the most central point, consid- ering the residences of his pupils, would have been the city hall, and the old Dis- trict building is only about four squares cistant from that locality. Work is being prshed, so that the building wil be in readiness to receive the ‘pup! very shortly, . ——— NEW BREEDS OF CATTSE. It is Proposed to Use Them to Give Strength to Jerseys. From the Boston Herald. At the great fair of the Bay State Agri- cultural Society, in connection with the Worcester Agricultural Society, every rec- ognized breed of cattle has its representa- tives on the grounds, and besides these there are some cattle which have never be- fore been seen in this: country, and about which progressive farmers are exhibiting a very earnest interest. These are the Nor- mandy and the Simmenthal cattle, just imported frem France and Switzerland, respectively, by Mr. ‘Theodore A. Have- meyer of the famous Mountain Side farm at Mahwah, N. J. E Mr. Havemeyer has for a long time been one of the most persistent advocates of the especial merit of the Jersey breed as dairy stock, but, in common with many other intelligent breeders, he has discov- ered that the close in-breeding, early breeding and over-breeding of this stock has resulted in a loss of stamina and con- stitutior® which threatens to render #_use- less for practical work. He has, therefore, sought out the two breeds which promise to furnish a new stock of vigor to the breed without reducing its superior butter characteristics. - There are ten of each breed In the herd, and their appearance in the pens justifies the hope that their vigor may be : einforced upon the more effeminate stock with which they are to be crossed. ~The Simmenthal cattle have been bred pure in the canton of Simmen, Switzerland, for more than 200 years. They ere cele- brated for their enormous production of milk and butter on little else than pasture in summer and hay in winter. These ani- mals are the pets of the Swiss farmers, and under their system of handling give in a year 9,000 to 12,000 pounds of milk, from which is made 450 to 500 pounds of butter. The cows are quiet and yentle and the bulls good-natured. The cows weigh «bout 1, pounds each, and the bulls from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds. The French farmer uses the Normandy cow in preference to all others. It is cer- tain that she is not ofily the best he can get, but that she has been developed to pay a handsome profit for feed and labor ex- pended. ~ The Normandy veal is well known as being ticularly dainty, and is always chosen by those who appreciate the best. The calves are fed on skim milk and pas- ture, and their developmeat is something beyond the comprehension of American breeders. The French farmer never houses his stock, having open sheds, fa which they run. Even the calves are dropped in the open, sometimes in the snow itself. y ‘The milk of the Normandy cattle fs fa- mous for its delicious flavor, and the but- ter not only for its delicate flavor, but for its granular appearance. The yearly yield is from 7,000 to 8,000 pounds of milk, mak- ing from this 300 to 350 pounds of butter. The Normandy cattle are very gentle. The bulls are very docile and strong breed- ers. . The cows are of about ihe same size as the Simmenthzl; the bulls are a little lighter than those of that breed. With the increased stamina end health from these cattle, it is hoped to preserve in the calves of the cross the butter-giving qualities and wonderful richness of the milk of the Jerseys. SS Only One Case of Cholera. Secretary Herbert has received a dis- atch from Admiral Beardslee, comniand- ing the Pacific station, stating that the latter had received a report from Capt. Pigman of the U. S. S, Bennington, now at Honolulu, on the subject of cholera on board his shin. Capt. Pigman says that Apprentice Goebel died of the disease on August 30, and that there were no other cases on hoard up to September 4, the date of writing. —__—_-o—____ How a Woman Bequeathed Her Estate From the Philadelphia Press. : A novel method of disposing of her $40,000 estate was taken by Mrs. Anna J. Owen, late of Chestnut Hill, whose will was ad- mitted to probate Friday by Register of Wills Smithers. The testamentary writing consisted of four sealed envelopes, marked A, B, C and D, inclosing securities, on the face of which Mrs. Owen had written. how she wanted the contents disposed of. En- velope A contained three $1,000 Bergner & Engel 6 per cent bonds, and was indorsed “Bessie; Minnie and Carrie, one each when Iam gone.” Envelope B bore a similar in- scription and. contained $4,000 in Pennsy! vania and New York Canal Company bonds. In envelope C were 100 shares of Pennsyl- vania railroad stock. It was indorsed “For the three girls when I am gone.” Envelope D contained $3,000 of Central Car Trust bonds, one for each of the girls named. The writing on each of the envelopes was signed “A. J. Owen.” None of the envel- opes bears any date, but they are supposed to have been indorsed in the spring of 1804. As no executor was named, the three daughters renounced in favor of their broth- er, David J. Owen of New York, and letters were granted to hi Why He Was Proud. From the Indianapolis Journal. The little Boston boy was so plainiy puff- ed up with juvenile vanity that the visitor noticed it. “Robert seems unusually proud toda; she said. “Yes,” the fond mother answered; has on his first pair of spectacles.” “he VETERANS RETURN Had a Splendid Reception Louisville Encampment. About fifty members of the Old Guard, accompanied by the Mount Pleasant Field Band and a majority of the District mem- bers of the G. A. R., with their wives and friends, arrived here at noon yesterday in @ tpecial train from Louisville, Ky. Many of the Women’s Relief Corps were also on the train. The train left Louisville at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, and upon reach- ing here the returning veterans, headed oy the field band, marched up the avenue to Grand Army Hall, where they disbanded. The party included but a few of the staff officers of the Department of the Potomsc. Department Commander Anderson, accom- panied by Mrs. Anderson, went from Louis- ville to Chattanooga, Tenn., to attend the exercises at Chickamauga, and from there will probably go to Knoxville, where the annual encampment of the Sons of Veter- ans will be held. Mrs. Hamilton, depart- ment president of the Women's Relief Corps, and Mrs. Hendricks, past depart- ment president, remained over in Louisville to represent the department in the sessions of that organization there. The veterans were enthusiastic in their praise of the hos- pitable reception given them by the people of Louisville, the ex-confederates being, they sald, particularly generous, and their reception caused a general desire to meet at Richmond, Va. Capt. Edgar of the Old Guard thought that Commander Lawler’s reference to the administration’s pension policy was somewhat exaggerated. His ref- erence did not cause any sensation, and he thought it was certain that if it had been unjustly severe Commander Law- ler’s remarks would have been excepted to. The criticism, considered Capt. Edgar, Was no more than that which would have been made in the case of a republican s4- ministration. at the ———__ BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW.

The Galt House will be the headquarters of the Washington delegation at Louisville. —_——__. REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. . It Will Possibly Establish Head- quarters in Thin City. There is a possibility that Washington may be chosen as the permanent home of the Republican National League. Mr. M. J, Dowling of Minnesota, secretary of - the league, is in the city for the purpose of in= specting the quarters at Willard’s Hotel, that have been offered to the organization free of cost by the local republicans. He. says the question will be settled at a mect- ing of the executive committee to be held October 18. Chicago is now the home of the league, and is so anxious to retain the headquarters that, when the possible re- moval to Washington was mentioned at @ recent meeting of the committee, the rep- resentative of that city on the committee effered the league free quarters and a bonus of $1,000. Mr. Dowling announces himself as strongly favoring Washington, ‘lthough his personal interests would b2 injured by a@ removal from .Chicago. —_—_—__ LIFE ON AN IRON CLAD. = * Old Sailors Dislike to Be Shut Up in the Iron Hulls. From the Philadelphia Times. 5 Since the formation of the new iron-clad navy there has been many complaints from” the crews of harsh treatment by the offi- cers, and now there is the case of the United States cruiser Raleigh, that has re- cently arrived at Boston from Key West. To an old man o’ warsman the nature of the complaints indicates the character of the crew, but John L. Mutter of Richmond and Shackamaxon streets has something he says, “I finished a six-year term of service in the United States navy—all on iron clads—and al- though J am a poor man, I would noi try it another year for $200 a month. I believe that the inmate of a well conducted jail ashore has a better berth. When one of our iron clads is loaded for sea she Kove plem down in the water and in a head sea does not raise an inch, but wallops alo’ like a mad bull. The decks are swept by 4 torrent from stem to stern, and, except the men at the wheel and lookouts, everybody goes below, hatches are put on, electri lights glare out and we have artificial ven- tilation that you can tuste. There is no varied wholesome work to pass away the time and you get weary of life. This is the cause of desertion. “Men will risk their lives to quit the ship, leaving two years’ pay behind. There is no remedy for this. In my opinion noth- ing that the government can do will ever make their big hulls fit for human beings to live in, and this is the prime cause of the complaints made by the crews. The grub is first-rate. You have a hundred privileges that were undreamed of in the old service, and if you are ill-treated it is generaNy because you deserve it. But the fact is, men get irritable under the con- stant drill and the horrible monotony, and break the rules to get into trouble for a change. Moreover, the officers, especially, the younger ones, are fidgety and restless. I believe the constant cramming they un- dergo makes them irritable, and they take it out of the men by hazing and meddling in matters that old-timers would take care not to see. “As for the crews themselves they nat- urally get worse every year. A young American of good sense and character can see no inducement in the service that gives him one-fifth the pay he can get ashore. He can learn as mueh seaman- ship on the Erie canal and be his own master. “As to the fighting capacity of our new ships, no one can speak with certainty, as they have not been iried. I know that most of the older olticers believe that smaller, lighter vessels will eventually take the place of these big rolling tanks. One thing is very certain, all the science and machinery afloat can not do away with the necessity for having good crews.” é ———+e. An Ancient Traveler's Outfit. =~ From the Westminster Gazette. A@small “Traveler's Guide,” dated 1780, has just come to hand. It contains a good deal of advice as to the luggage which should be taken.
