In view of English criticism or the "time limit" of yacht rucm on this side of the water, the practice on the Clyde may be held up In sharp contrast and such deductions made us may occur to yachtsmen nnd other Interested In mak ing all tules governing sport us fair as possible. It can baldly be fairer to cut a race Hhort In the middle, as usb done yesterday, even though It be a drifting match, nud cull It a finished race with the uwaid to llrst yacht. Of couise, the prize was Insignificant, but the spirit Is thu same an If a nation's fate depend ed upon tile result. If u time limit be found an advantage In the Interest of fair sport In open watets, such as out outside coure, how much more necensuiy In It on a uairow. fliiky course like that of the Clyde. A swilling channel, four or flvu miles wide between high hills.

All Hi? borings that it Is proposed to present tu the Board or Pro longations ot other west New York streets have not yet been made. The selection or a round foundation ror the piers or the new bridge Is a most Important part or the Board's work, as the consideration or lengths or (.pan or the bridge will be uulded almost entirely by the result or the borings. The three borings on tnc Sixty-ninth street line showed depths or rock, the first U9 reet, the second 200 und the third 243, commending at the New York side. They were made this morning by En gineer Brush, and were considered very sutlsractory by him. The Board approved the borings and ordered more made on tho line of Six tieth street. These will probably be made this afternoon, and tho losult laid before the Board to-morrow. The Board then went Into executive session. It will meet again to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. The plans ror the new bridge will Frobably not be presented until the loard has rully Investigated the founda tion question and selected suitable ground. SAYS ITS PERSECUTION. Lrxow Witness ProthlelT on Trlnl for Grand Lnrreny. Paul P. Drothleff Is being tried before Judge Cowing. In tho Court of General Sessions, on a charge or grand larceny. He was a' witness before the Lexow Committee, testlfiing that the police had pursued him with rake churges. DrothlefT told the Lexow Committee that he was arrested last Winter, charged with attempted extortion as a pretended agent of D'r. Parhhurst's So ciety, and that when thut charge fell through they charged him with the lar ceny for which he Is now being tried. The complaint sets forth that Droth lefT was a drummer. That In 1892 lie obtained from Lazarus Bnrenkoff & Co., or 46 Bond street, $10 worth or samples of furs and appropriated them to his own use, Henry W. Sedgwick, counsel for Drothleff, Is a member ot the Reform Club. In his opening to the Jury ho said he should show that this was a case of persecution rather than prosecu tion; that the police had a grudge against the defendant and wanted to railroad him to prison. Judge Cowing stopped the young law yer and admonished htm that he would not permit any such tirade. Aside from this episode. Drothleff's rase seems to be like hundreds or others. s.

TUG NICOL'S HULL IS INTACT. She lloes .Not Leak, and Will Bo Itepalred In Short Order. Looking like a waif deserted by those who should care for It. the hull ot the wrecked tug James D. Nlcol, which went down off the Highlands of Navo slnk June 24 last, was towed from Ward's dock, Astoria, to the foot of Twentieth street. South Brooklyn, this morning, where she will undergo repairs, Aa related In "The Evening World" yesterday, tho Nlcol wan raised from the bottom of the sea at 1 o'clock yes terday ufternoon by the wrecking float Reliance, Capt. Klvlln, or the Chapman Dei rick und Wrecking Company. This was not accomplished without difficulty. Although tbe Nlcol was tony reet under vater, the divers who went dov n to put chains under her found such a heavy swell that they could hard ly remain In nn upright position, and only narrowly escaped serious Injury. The appearance of the Nlcol above the surface wss witnessed In rllence. The wreckers, used as they are to ouch work, could not but think ot the Jolly irowd who had last peopled tjic deck of the tug. ' The hull was flush with the water. At the ntern iron stanchions. still tsup porled u remnant of the awning, under which the happy fishing crowd rat when their end came. Washing about In the water were coats, tin palls, llt.li baskets, fishing poles, shoes and kitchen utensils. There were at least u dozen bottles' ot beer bobbing about the deck. Most sig nificant ot all was a cheap motto, fast ened Iu such a position that It was al most the first thing noticed when the Nlcol camp up. It read: "Good night Pleasant dreams." As the sea was too rough to pump her out, ahe wan towed up to Fort Hamil ton, where the water was pumped out. The hull then floated as buoyantly ai ever. She does not leak, and can be re paired very quickly. Her boiler and en gine, although covered with rust, are In good condition. A peculiar heart-shaped nln of blue enamel, crossed with battle-axes and swords, and two ten-cent pieces were round in her, but there were no bodies In the little cabin or hull. Several small articles were picked Up, which -vlll probably be Identified and claimed by relatives or the unfortunate men who were drowned.
