XattltaK fill Ik BiIwhi the tsrlana mat Was, the Former Vrtsalag y Xlskt Setoads Thtr 'Will bs fleas flllsT Hae InK To-day for the Goelst Caaa. i Kkwtort, Auk. 4. A light and fluty breere at the start nnd a glorious sou'-eou'wost wind afterword, which sent Trails of green foam hissing and boiling from under the lea of the rnolng yachts of tha Ken York Yacht Club, . wero the conditions undor which the third I day's ran of tho crulsa from Now London to Nowport was accomplished. Tho Olorlana surprlsod every one by defeat ing the hitherto unbeaten Wasp by just sight in , seconds, corrcctod time. A great many seemed to think that the Wasp would win every race which she started In during the cruise, like the Glorlana did last rear, but John Barr got Ten with his brother Charloy, who Is on tho Wasp, for his defoat yesterday. To the Im partial observer It would seom ns though to day's race was won more through luck than anything else, ns In a good beat to windward t tho Wasp undoubtedly would win. The Lnsca. although handicapped at the tart. led tho entlro (loot Into Newport harbor, and the Wasp, Quickstep, and Olorlana all finished wlthm a fow seconds of each other. The Atlantlo ncd tho Merlin had a great fight for socond placo In the OO-toot achoonor class, the latter winning by loss than 20 seconds. 10 To-morrow the great raco for tho Qoelot Cud Will take place. To-night ovor 200 yachts aro in the harbor, which broaks all existing reo , ords. They aro nnchorod -so close together that a man could almost walk dry shod across tho harbor. Yachtsmon gonerally seom to think that the Wasp and Olorlana will have an easy tlmo winning to-morrow. Honors, however, may fall to Home of the other yachts. At 11:12:20 o'clock, according to the ox pert timers on the proso bont Vamoose, tho preparatory signal was flrod from Vice-Commodore Morgan's trim-looking English t steam yacht, the Ituna, and ten minutes ( ' later, to tho socond. tho starting signal for classes 5. 0. and 7 of sloops, and class 6 of schooners was fired, nnd soveral minutes later eamo tho signal for all other classes. There was little or no wind, but whnt little there was. wns trom tho southeast. It was a dead beat out of tho harbor to tho LuoyolT rinrat's Ledge, whoro tho Ituna lay swinging ' impatiently at hor anchor chain. The racing flout had received a number of Important additions at New London, among the newcomers being the old America Cup defender, Mayflower, now changed Into a schooner. August Belmont's 40-footer Mine- oln. wns nlso on hand, having just sailed 1 around from Newport with hor owner at the helm, ready to try conclusions with the Wasp and her old rivals, tho Olorlana and Saynnai a. In addition to the abovo there were the schooners Hporanzn. Peerless, and Montauk. tho cutters utira. Marbiulta, nnd Huron, nnd tho sloop Verena. Those two old-tlmo cruet a. . the Sachem nnd Ornyllng. two of tho fastest U sehoonors In the country to-dav. woro also on K hand, but they did not race. They took the I shnrt rut through Fisher's Island Sound, W where they will probably have n try nt the flly- lnc LaRcn boforo tho cruise Is ovor, and they ,v may be able to accomplish tho feat which tho ' Alcaoa hns bcon unable to do thus far. The fleet crossed the lino in the following order: Wasp first, on the starboard tack, at 11:2:1:10. She wns followed by the Fayonara P nt ll:2:t:23: Olorlana, 11:24:00: Mineola. 1 1 1:24 :.'!: Quickstep. 11:25:21: Utira. 11:20:211; Llris. 11:20:20: Verena. 11:20:32: Mariquita. 11:2H:15: Govalla. ll:20::i.-: I Clara. ll:.il:25: Minerva.

The following were all handicapped: Daunt less. 2 minutes 40 soconds: Lnsca. 3 minutes: Comanche. 3 minutes 10 seconds: Morlin, 3 minutes 40 seconds: Alctea. 4 minutes 10 seconds; Peerless. 14 minutes 20 seconds: ' Kntrinn. 4 minutes 50 seconds: Athlon, 5 , minutes 10 seconds; Phantom. 7 minutes 20 seconds: bperanzn. 7 minutes 30 seconds; Constellation. 8 minutes; Bamona. 14 min utes. Tho following crossed on the port tack: IK Ira. Quickstep, Gevalla. Clara. Atlantic. Merlin, Shamrock. Mayflower. Alert. Iroquois. Comanche. Peerless. Kntrinn. Constellation. I-asea. and Alctca. The Merlin, Alca?a. Dauntless, and Phantom all came about as soon an they crossed the lino and commenced to beat their way out to Race Book. The rest of tlio fleetlstood over toward Fisher's Island, with the exception of the Uvlro. which took a short hitch out and then stood on the star board tack. It was slow work, and the usually jolly skippers looked anything but pleased nt the prospect of being out all day off itoeje Hock I in a broiling sun. While the reporters wore waiting for some thing to turn up E. C. Benedict's stoam yncht Oneida wns seen in the distance, and tho Va moose was run within hailing distance to find out whether ex-President Cleveland was on board. Her owner said that he had expected to lime Mr. Cleveland on board, but that he had received word at the last minute that I business engagements would prevent his ac cepting. Mr. Cleveland was also forcod to do- I clino Commodore Gerry's invitation on tho samo ground, and shortly afterward the Va moose ran up near the Eloctra and saluted 1 Commodore Gorry by dipping her ensign. Tho I Commodore smiled good-naturedly, and the salute was acknowledged In tho samo manner. fm Just before tho leaders reached Bace Bock the wind shifted to southwest, and the Min eola, Olorlana. Wasp, and hnyonara. which wore then leading the floot by ovor half a ' mile, commenced to get a move on them, nnd as there tseomed to be moro wind coming tho fleet started to work off a bit from shore. Tho gentlo zephyr soon developed into a line wholesale breozo. and the schooners under tremendous balloon lib topsails and maintop mast staysails, which ono could have wrapped the Vamoose in. tore along at a ten-mlle-nn-liour gait, and passed with ease somo of the Blower of the stoum yachts. The time at Itacn Bock is as follows: Mln eola. 12:38:10: Olorlana. 12:38:50: Wasp. 12:30:50; Sayonnra. 12:40:20: Ouiokstep, 12:45:50: Uvira, 12:40:40: Llris. 12:52:00: Ve rena. 12:54:50: Clara. 12:55:25: Huron. 1:00; Iroquois. 1:00:40: Atlantic 1:00:55: Gevalla 1:07:00; Mayflowor. 1:08:20: Marlquitn. 1:07:10. These were followed by the Minerva. Lnsca, Graclo. Fanny, Shamrock, Morlin. Kntrinn. Alctca. Montauk, Constellation, and Athlon. , The Olorlnna passed the Mineola. and a sec ond later the Wasp gave her the go-by. Tho latter, howevor. did not find It such an easy matter to pass Inst years crack as she did on Wednesday, The Olorlana seemed to have regained her old-time form, and the pair hud Vri eat light of Itfor oter twenty miles. The asp finally passed the Olorlana oil the end of Fishes' Island and led her about a minute at Point Judith light. Frederick Orlnncll's speedy little schooner Quickstep, which was well to windward of tho 40-footers. skipped by thorn soon after tho wind changud, and assumed the lead, blie bent ovory tiling In her class, and all but ono of tlio larger boats on elapsed time. The much-ninllgned schooner Atlnntlo has been doing some splendid work during the eruise, nnd hns beaten nny number of the crack In her class, which Included such flyers as the Merlin. Lasca. and Alcira. To-day she finished third to tho Lasca and Merlin, tho 1st tor winning on the run In, Tho Atlantic's owners. Seeleyand Marshall. havo hnndled her very well, anil In n loading wind there uro few boats that can beat her. William Butler Duncan's cutter Huron cov- red herself with glory by defeating the Kn rlmi, Fanny, una Oraclo. The Lids sailed well nnd defeated tho old crack 40-footer Minerva, but was In turn beaten by the Marl Quitn. Tho winners in the various classes Schooners. Class D-Constellatlon beats Montauk 20 minutes 10 seconds, elapsed time. Class 3 Lasca beats Morlin 0 minutes 21 sec onds, elapsod time.

Class 0, Olorlana beats Wasp by 8 sec onds, correotod time, Class 7, Llris beats Minerva by 18 minutes 18 seconds, corrooted time. , Newport Is full of yachtsmen to-night, and I, It looks a though the town had gone mad on yachting. Hundreds of yachtsmen aro parad ing the streets, and nine out of ten of them wear yachting caps. The sensation of the i night is the fact that at the meet- J lng of fleet Captains on board of the Xleotrs, It was unanimously decided to extend the orutse from Vineyard Haven to Marble head, J. Plorpont Morgan of the Corsair, with his usual liberality, has offered two valuable aups, to be salted for from Martha's Vineyard to Marblehead, under the samo conditions as the Ooeletoup, Commodore Gerry also offers two more cups of equal value, to be raoed for at Marblehead to-morrow. The races for the Ooelet Cups will be sailed over alt Iter tho Vineyard Hound or Block Island course, the direction of Ihe wind do- I tarmininc the choice. Tho races will bo sailed without time limit, under the racing rules of the New York Yacht Club. They I are opon to schooners, sloops, cutters, and j yawls of tho clubs that have not hauled I out to clean slnco the beginning of the cruise. f . Vice-Commodore Morgan's yacht Ituna will be I ' the judges'iboat. and entries will be received I on board up to 8 o dock .to-morrow morn- 1 lng. The starting signal will be flrod at 10:30 ' o'clock from the fudges' boat. The steamboat Oeyhead of the New Bedford and Nantucket line has been ohartered to enable members and their guests to witness the race. She will be .under oommand of Mr, Oouveneur Kqrt rlght, and will leave the Old Colony dock's long wharf at 10 o'olook. It is now throe years slnoe the New York Yacht Club have gone around Cape Cod to Marblohead; this means a race of 10(1 mllen. On Saturday the fleet go to Cottage City and 5 ematn over Sunday. On Monday morning nt o'clock the raco for Marblehead will start. On Wednesday tho race for the Oorry cups will take .place, and on Thursday the fleet will dis band. As tho Constellation was finishing to-day she ran Into the schooner yacht Idlotrlld and tore a holo In her mainsail. Her owner. 0. Cooper Clark, rocolved an ugly gash In the head. The wound was attended to by a physi cian. nummary of to-day's race: XinST CLASS BCHOONEES. ilfUl 0TeWi start WiV rtM. rf.

Ii la Bald that SotmpIbk Challenge 'Will Hooa Come rVoaa Eagtaad. Reliable Information comes from England that tho authorities there are formulating a sweeping challenge to the athletes of the United titates. The contest will be Interna tional in the broadest sense of the word, as the challenge will not only embrace America, but every English speaking nation and colony In the world. This matter has been under discussion 6lnce last Ootober, first being brought about by tho London Times. Tho scheme, os originally out lined, proposed an all-L'ngllsli speaking festi val and tournament, nt which Intellectual su premacy was to recolvo even more attention thnn physical prowess. The latter section of the prospoctus received such favorable criti cism, both on account of Its moro general popularity and of Its greater feasibility, that It has boon allowed to take precedence, and ar rangements hnvo rlpenod so rapidly that the promotors in behalf of the mothor country nre now prepared to throw down the gage. In Qeod. the sensational cartel Is only withheld until the challengers aro sattsllud that no counter athletic attractions at tho World's Fair In Chicago will Interfere. Secretary C. C. Huglios of the Manhattan A. C. In discussing the probabilties of athletics nt the World's Fair, said: " There will, doubt less, be moro than ono tournamentat Chicago, but none earlier than fall, by which time tho team our club Is sending to Europe for the British and other championships will have re turned." Secrotary Hughes was nut then awaroof tho national complexion the exodus may take, nor will It interfere materially with the aspirations of his men. The coming fall championship-) hero will throw a great deal of light on the merits of those In whom America might rest its hopes, and .the proud distinc tion might bo entrusted to the winners of whatever events will be duplicated on the In ternational programme. This would be n sat isfactory arrangement it Lncland would in turn rely on her 1BIM champions also. But it is.probable that oach country would prefer to be guided ih its flnal cholco by the results of a later trial. Hastily organized teams of Manhattan A. C. athletes have repeatedly Invaded tho mother oountry and maintained the reputation of tliolr club and nation against the cream of athletic Europe. TheNowlork A. V. men hnvo also borne the winged foot triumphantly In many n British arona. Therofore, having unofficially felt the lion's pulse and diagnosed his man the athletic legislators 'of America should ho able to prescribe the exacttreatinent requisite to make him open his eyes In amazement.

William Shea of Long Island, a small, mild mannered man, entered Vall's restaurant at Twenty-sixth etreefand Eighth avenue Wed nesday night and cried: "Glvo me some grub.'' Tho head waitor escorted him to a table, and assigned a muscular aeslstant to attend to his wants. "Glmmosomo coffoe," remarked Mr. Shea, Tho waller brought the coffoe, but Shea didn't seem to like It. "Who nsked for mud?" spoke Bhca.as he picked up tho cup of steaming coffee and hurled it at tho waiter. The waitor dodgod, and tho cup smashed against the wall. The waiter timidly approached the bad man trom Long Island, and nsked him if thcro was any thing else he would like. " Yes," said Mr. Shea, "gimme a Welch rare bit, and hne It stringy." Whilo the rnrohlt wns being prepnrod Shea amused himself by partaking of n mixture of vinegar, popner, and salt, which ho made up In a tablo-ipoon. lie Informed tho other peo ple In the place that It was "great stuff." Whpn thf rarebit was put before him Shea dug n knife Into It nnd shouted: " Didn't I tell you to hnvo that stringy?" Foaring another ns snult tho natter Hod. Taking hold of tho edge of the tablecloth Shea nulled it off, spreading Italics, knives, and forks all ovor tho floor. This was too much for Mr. Vail, nnd rolling up his sleeves he started In to siiuelch the Long Islnnd)-r. Shea pulled a big pistol anil shoved It In Mr. Vall's face.

At Jefferson Market yester day morning Shea was pobernnd penitent, and seemed o sorry for all lli.it ho had done that Justice Urudy only Sent him away fora month. ODDS J.V FAVOlt OK A BICYCLE. All the Fleetest Trottlnc Itccord Likely to lie Mtipplanted. Tho lasting distinction of pedalling a mile In tlmo virtually suporior to tho trotter Sunol's wonderful mile in 2:08', hns been won by a ill-) ear-old lad, as George F. Taylor, who covered the mile in 2:11 flat last Wednesday, was born Jen. 3, 1871. at Jersey City. In carefully analyzing Tnylor's tlmo it has been discovered that his spood Is practically equivalent to 2:05. if time allowances nre made for tho handicaps which a bicycle racer Is burdened with when compared to a trotter. In the first place. Taylor rode his dlstanco on a hnlf-mile oval track, and consequently wns obliged to pas four comparatively sharp turns in his mile. Tho trotter that is now epeodod against time is tried on n Llle track, which hns but one turn to a mile, and that a blunt and easy one. Hud Taylor ridden on a mile kite track his timo would unquestion ably hnvo boen three seconds faster, or 2. OS, Then, ngnln. 'lnylor's start from a standstill put him at onco undcra disadvantage as com pared with a flying start of a trotter. Allow ing only thiee seconds for this handicap, though the difference is usually rated at four, Taylor's tlmo Is brought down to 2:0r. Taylor's font is probably only the first of n series which will moke the coining thren months niemornblo in bicycling nnd sporting nnnnli. A full month still intervenes boforo tho Hartford Wheul Club's tournament at Charter Oak Bark, and live weks beforo tho Springfield tournament. In that time Taj lor, lylor, ilerlo, and Zimmerman will be prepar ing for the stirring days when thnywlll meet in the presence of 10,000 or 20.000 spectators, and demonstrate the potentialities of tlio ma chine which puts an athletic clerk or salesman on a level with a horse-fancying merchant or millionaire.

Whon tho budget ss prepared by the Board of Finance was submlttod to tho Mayor for his action ho vetoed several Horns of the appropriation nnd suggested that re ductions be made. Tho Board of Financo consists of five members, nnd four votes are required to overrldo tho Mayor's veto. Thero are three Democrats and two Republicans In the Board. Whon avoto wns taken on' each veto the Mayor was sustained by a strlot party vote. Tho suggestions of the Mayor to make reduced appropriations in the plnce of the ve tood items were not adopted, and there Is likely to bo Tory sorlous difficulty unless some compromise is effected.

The veto wns KUBtulncd, butthe suggestion was not adopted, consequently there is no appropriation for street lighting, nnd tho streets will be in dark ness next yenr unless somo way can bo de vised to got out, of the difficulty. Another item vetoed was the salary list of tho Board of Finance. The appropriation was SU0.OUO.fHJ. and the Mayor rut it down several thousand dollars. Ab in tho other case no new appropriation was made, and consequent ly thero will be no money to pay the Mayor.
