BENT LOSES CONGRESS NOMINATION Francis P. Bent, formerly of this city, last the nomination for congress in his district in Greenpoint, Long Island, this week, when he was beaten by 925 votes by his republican oppon- ent. The Brooklyn Eagle says of the con- test in the primary: John MacCrate, Republican, was nominated for Congress at the primar- ies yesterday by both the Democratic and Republican parties. In this way the voters of the Geenpoint—a rock- ribbed Democratic _section—rebuked the- Democratic organization for the manner in _which Joseph -V. Flynn, famous for “his record of abscense from Congress, had ‘represented” the Cohgressional District during the past four years. MacCrate was not only nominated by his own (Republican) party, but he was also victor by a plurality. of 925 votes over Francis P. Bent, the regular Democratic designee, and now has practically a clear field for elec- tion.

Ricketts, chief master of arms of the U. S. S. Yamacraw, has written two_letters at widely separated points, as follows: London, Eng., July 21, 1318, Dear Father and Mother: A beautiful Sunday and I'm having a nice quiet rest in a beautiful English home in North London, the home of an officer in the British army whom I fell th while here once before. He kindly invited me to.stay with his family when here again. So here I am, have been here three days, and will stay here about a week. I've had the luxury of the first real bed in a long time, and it is a genuine pleasure to sit down to a meal with a beautiful family consisting of a father, mother, two boys and a girl whose ages range from 12 to 5. They are very wealthy, he being a member of the stock e change and a broker, besides serving JAY 'S. RICKETTS. Chief Master of Arms.

Just at present London is a place of great rejoici poor, innocent (!) Germany g it in the neck for re. The nu of prisoners is way p in the thousands mow and the Boches are retreating rapidly, and the general impression prevails here that it is the beginning of the end. With my new rating (that of chief master of arms) comes my new uni- form. which I am trying to wear with becoming modesty. This is as/high as cne can go short of commissioned offi- cer. I have greatly enjoyed here a fine social custom of afternoon tea in the courtyard. A fine assortment of ladies and gentlemen attended by servants galore in every variety of livery. The quietness of thesc English courtyards is in striking contrast to the noise and bustle of a ship. The stiliness and the murmur of the wind through. the trees makes me think of our own back vard. The streets of London are full of soldiers and sailors, representing every nation_in the world except Germany. You would be surprised to know how many of the latter are here, but they don’t happen to roam the streets at large. We had a beautiful trip lasting ten days; weather fine and lots to sec (!). Found your last letters awaiting me when we arrived in England and they were fine. T must say good bye for the present and will write again soom. Lots of love to gll. Your affectionate son, JAY.
