Special dishes are always provided for the Prince, who “invariably brings two bottles of his own champagne and rare- ly samples the wine provided for the gther guests.” The Prince of Wale @ocording to the same authority, always brings a case of his own cigars with him.

Each day the vice-regal party drove to the yards of the Horse Show In state. The handsome carriages, the showy liveries and the ®orgeous decorations of the outriders Gttracted universal admiration and the party was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm along the route. At the Horse Bhow the jumping competitions over @ course consisting of ditch and bank, a four-foot stone® wall, double bank, water and four-foot hurdles were ever surpassed here. These contests excited the admiration of professional horsemen, as well the titled lords end ladies of the aristocracy, and it ta wafe to say that the Dublin Horse Show has become more firmly fixed as a sovial’and equestrian feature than ever before.

Valkyrie came up into the Upper Bay this morning, in tow of her tender, the City of Bridgeport. Bhe anchored off Liberty Inland, and the tender passed on up the river, She did not remain long at anchor. Shortly after ncon the tug Pulver took her in tow again and she was taken to Robin's dry dock, Erie Basin. Bhe arrived there about 12.30 o'clock and was taken to the entrance of the Boston dry dock and made fast to the pler. Capts. Cranfield and Sycamore were on board with the crew. Capt. Cranfeld told an v World" reporter who went on board shortly after she had been moored to the wharf that he did not know when Valkyrie would be docked and thought that no definite arrangements had yet been made. When asked whether the new etecl! racing boom for Valkyrie, which was re- ported to be on the steamer City of Rome, which arrived to-day, had come, he said he did not know. The City of Bridgeport, Valkyrie's ten- der, left her this morning in the bay to visit the dock of the Anchor line, where the City of Rome is lying. Capt. Cranfield said he didn't know whether the steel masts had arrived, and then he went below. Mate Taylor was equally reticent, and the people at the dry-dock say that no arrangements hay~ yet been made for docking her. All Valkyrie's saila have been unbent and stored below decks, except her mainsail, which is fastened to her boom and covered up. The crew lounged on the end of the pier as if in expectation of the arrival of some order Later Capt. Cranfield admitted to an “Evening World” reporter that he had brought Valkyrie to dry-dock for the purpose of shipping the new steel boom which arrived on the steamer City of Rome this morning. The old boom will be left on the dock at Erie Basin and the Valkyrie will re- turn to the horseshoe to-night. Capt. Cranfield also said that Valky- rie will not go into dry-dock until next Wednesday or Thursday. SHE’S A REAL DEFENDER. The Isclin Syndicate Ready cover the Cup, if Lost, (Special to The Evening World.) HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK, N. J., Aug. 31.—-The big yachts deserted the Horseshoe for a while to-day, De- fender went right up to Bay Ridge after yesterday's race. Vigilant had her an- chor up by 7 o'clock this morning, and headed for New York with the Aero- naut, her tender, She will go out of commission for the season, as her mis- sion as a trial yacht for Defender ended with yesterday's race, As early as 9 o'clock, Lor) Dunraven's | yacht took a line from he penser, the | City of Bridgeport, and wah towed up | through the Narrows. It was expected that she would be out for another spin to-day, but some overhauling 1s doubt- |less needed before she be sent out to | stretch her sails again, Defender’s new steel boom and gaff were substituted for the wooden ones by the light of the moon and a dozen jo Re- ¥ |lanterns, while the yacht lay at anchor off Bay Ridge last night. Mr. Iselin worked: as “i as the crew, and the hour was late when finally tue labor, ended for the night. The steel spars will not take as much weight off the boat as was at first thought, but the strain in a heavy sea or wind will be considerably reduced, and in coming about and gybing in stiff? Weather there will be more of a feeling of security. at that Defender is not a stanch t. Bhe showed that she is stiff enough to sult anybody in yesterday's race. Deferlder was seen coming down the Ship Channel at 12.90. She carried main- sail and fore-staysall and her jib was up in stays ready to break out. The mainsail was bent on her new steel boom and gaff. It was expected that sl wilt take an extended spin this afternoon, The wind {s strong, but fitful, from the southeast. Cu tee Inapects Defender. The Cup Committee went aboard De- fender while she was anchored off Bay Ridge last night. They were taken all through the bost and minutely exam- ined he= to see if she was strained in any way ‘They were convinced that a stancher boat had never been built, Not a seam was opened, and ex-Commodore Smith expressed his opinion that she was atronger in her construction than when ahe was first completed. Mr. Iselin showed the committee over the boat and seemed proud that she passed muster in such a satisfactory manner, When told by the committee that Defender had been selected to up- hold the yachting honor of America in the cup races, Mr. Iselin said he and those aboard the yacht would do their very best to and then he made a very significant remark: Com: Defender’s People Would Recover ibility Valkyrie IIl. it will be rechal- But only the timid ones believe the English yacht stands a chance to win it. Many yaehtsmen think she may take one race out of the series, but they now have supreme confidence in De- fender’s ability to show her heels to Lord Dunraven. Yesterday's race did much to restore confidence. Of course, the real yachts- men were close to the yachts all through the raco and they noticed every move during the three hours of elapsed time At the very start Defender showed how much faster she was than Vigilant by rating up under her lee and taking the lead before they were fairly across the line. It was seen that although she carried less sail then Mr. Gould's boat, she travelled nearly three feet to the other's two. There is not the slightest doubt that Detender could have beaten Vigilant many minutes more in the beat to wind- ward if she had cared to do so, Hank Haff is a great hand to take short hitches in trial races and in practice spins, but when It comes down to a cup race you don't see him throwing away many tacks, Yesterday he took short tacks when rearing the windward mark. Every- body who was anywhere near the yacht could see that there was no par- ular need cf them. It was just throw- {1g away seconds. The Regatta Committee made every- body mad yesterday by starting the race by @ watch that was over two minutes slow. In the cup races the Re- gatta Committee's watches are never correct, and this is very annoying to Yachtamen and reporters who take the trouble to set their timepleces accurate- ly before each race. Need for Accurate Timeptece: The progrees of the races are bul- letined all over the country, and the general public 1s dependent on reporters’ time until the official figures are given after the races. Nowadays yacht races ere wen by minutes and seconds, in- stead of hours, as they were thirty years ago, and in a contest Ike the last one between Vigilant and Valkyrie, where the former won by only forty seconds, it is very essential that watches egtee, The Eastman Yacht Club, Boston's crack organization, has a chronometer in {ts club-house at Marblehead Neck, Members, reporters and the Regatta Committee all regulate thelr watches by It before races, and thus all errors are avoided, Why can't the N. ¥.
