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

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,

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

, 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

JUBItlC.l WILL BB ON THE ALEUT.
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

table, and assigned a muscular aeslstant to

"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

" Yes," said Mr. Shea, "gimme a Welch rare

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.

said that "Ed Barson was a-gttttn' tho swell

While acting as Township Clerk, Mr. Sarson
was dlsplcasod with tho fact that Isaae D, llo

Sarson became so enraged over this result

with intimations that he was "making some

of the appropriation nnd suggested that re

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

Another item vetoed was the salary list of

TJnalarsa, July 16.--A few daysvgo the rev
enue cutter Bush camo into this port towing
the first seal poacher solrod thin season in
Bohrlng Pea, Thn captlvo proved to bo the
schooner Winifred of Victoria, which sneakod
Into tho Bohrlng on tho night of July 13.
Once insldo the Captain wished he had kept
out for tho Yankee cruisers gnvo him no
pence. No soonor would ho lower a boat nnd
send out huntors than some American steamer
would appear, and he would have to sot all
sail to escape.
Then he would havo to return and cruise
around for his boat In this way a wholo week
was spont nnd only forty-flvo skins woro
taken. Frequently tho cruisers passed within
gunshot of the schooner while sho was htddon
by tho fog. At Inst tho Captain docldod to
escape to tho opon ocoan. but as he was put
ting on all sail a dead calm foil, the fog lifted,
and the cutter Hush camo down on him.
The steamer st Paul arrived at Unnlaska
from Bt Michaels on July Hi, bringing Peter
Vcrana. the only survivor of thn three huntors
who were left on St .Matthews Island nearly
h vonr ago to hunt tor foxes nnd polar hears.
The Govurnnient yosterday Issued orders lor
their rescue. Soon after they wero loit by
the Mattlo T. Dyer, the three men, Jo
seph Burns John I'ulslfur. and Peter Vo
rana, moved tholr camp to a sheltered
spot In Novombcr thu sea frozo over,
but though polnr bears appeared on tho
Ice In great numbers, only about twenty
landed, aud of thoso thoy secured only five,
because the storms wero so severe thoy
oouldn't live outside tholr huts. Early In May
the ten broke, and thore wns clear water oter
to Hall Island, four miles distant. Burns nnd
Pulsifer. who woro disgusted nt their failure
to eecuto bears, decided to go to Hall Island
In a small boat Vcrana was left In ohargobf
tho camp. Ho begged them to watt a weak
longer for thn Ico to clear away, but they to
fused. Nothing was seen of them after.
Vorana's theory In that they wero crushed by
ice floes an thoy tried to land.
The whaling schooner Jane Grey, which
was seized lost month by tho Yorktown, but
was afterward released, wan solved again on
July 20 by Cnpt. Johnson of the Mohican near
Pribylov Islands. No details havo been received.

The other men were surprised because thoy
