A Talk with iiModorc Hltk BJ.
Nlrfaolsoa Kane.
Those members who wre at the New York
Yacht Club house last night naturally dis
cussed II10 decision of the OOP Committee.
Lvervbody agreed that the selection of the
Vigilant was perfectly just. Commodore
James I). Smith of the Cup Committee was
found by a Si reporter at the New Vork Club.
He was unite willing to talk and said:
"Yob, the decision of the committee that
mnkes the Vigilant tho defender of the
Ameilca's Cup was unanimous. We con
sidered her work in the races of Satur
day and to-day, and found her to be
the best boat. The race on Thursday,
whon the Colonla won by six seconds, wae
not exactly a criterion. The Vigilant waa han
dled in the trial races in a masterly manner.
and is by all odds the boat to meet the Val
kyrie. The raceto-day was a magnificent one.
The Vigilant showed herself to be a flyer, and
I don't behove there la a person who saw her
performance that will not agree with the 00m
mitteeln her selection. The other boats were
completely outsailed."
"Is the decision final?" asked the reporter.
" Yes. Nothing now remains but to make
arrangements for the International raees with
tho Valkyrie. That matter or course will be In
charge of the Kcgatta Committee of the club.
It is out of our hands." ,
"Ho you think the Vigilant will beat the Val-
" Most assuredly. While I believe the Val
kyrie Is a very fast boat, still I feel certain that
the Vigilnntoan beat her. Of course. If .Dun
raven should be successtful. we would all eon
gratulate him ; hut. at the same time, we want
to win the worst way." .....
"What do you think of the reported fast time
of the Kngllsh boat?"
" Well. Idon't earn to say anything dispar
agingly. But I don't believe there 1b a yacht
afloat thnt can make fourteen knots an hour
as the Valkyrie is reported to have done. It is
Impossible, (if course, there may bo more fa
vorablo winds and stronger tides on the other
side, and the knots may bo shorter, but never
theless the Valkyrie will have to sail faster on
this side of the ocear, than she has done al
ready to carry off the cup.
" From tho flagship to-day. It appeared to ub
as though the Jubilee and Pilgrim wore In
Irons just before crossing the starting line.
They certainly got away slowly. The accident
to the Jubilee was unfortunate, no doubt, but
no allowance could he made for it. The Pil
grim was clearly outclassed."
Commodore S. Nicholson Kane of the Re
gatta Committee was found at the Knicker
bocker Club. Ho left his dinner a moment to
Bar: " It was a grand raoe. and the decision of
tho Cup Committee was most just. In fact, no
other conclusion could have been arrived at. ,
As far as I know, everybody Is pleased. The
liegatta Committee will now begin perfecting
arrangements for I he big races. Hy that I mean l
the preparations to receive Lord Dunraven and
his Valkyrie. We have tho sole charge of af
fairs now. and we shall no doubt be very busy.
The Vigilant is a great boat, and has proved
hor seaworthiness and speed to the satisfac
tion of yachtsmen and the public at large. I
feel confident that she will give a good account
ol herself."
Gen. Paine could not be found last night. He
was not at the Brevoort House. The clerk
there said that the Oeneral probably waa on

When the excursion beat Grand Bepubllo

aboard her uuota of passengers from the two
stopping places in New Vork. she was loaded
with quite a cosmopolitan crowd. Then
Brooklyn added between 400 and 500 persons
to the well-Ill led decks. It was an interesting
collection. About a dozen couples from the
I mirth ward cnme aboard the boat at the
Battery. They were imbued with the Idea
that a yacht race meant a good time, equal to
a clambake held by a political ward leader.
l-'onr kegs of beer accompanied the party, and
they made quick time in stowing it away.
Throe Italian musicians were playing a
waltz when the Bteamer started away from the
dock, and one of the Fourth warders yelled
out: "Grab yer pigs for de waltz; day's goin'
ter play sweet wllacks." In a moment the whole
party trooped up to the hurricane deck and
triad to waltz among the thlok crowd. Some
body remonstrated with tho dancers, where
upon one of the paity said: "Say. dese are

lie lost tho small needle that injeots the fluid

Injection was that the lawyer felt so seasick
that he could not drink a glass of whlakey.
He was laid out in the cabin and after the side
of his throat had been cut the needle wus
tuken out
Nothing else of Interest occurred on the trip
down to the scene of the race. When the
Grand Repiiblla approached tho starling point,
ami the different boats could ho seen inameu

very much Interested, and climbed on chairs. I
benches, deck houses, pnddle-wheel boxes, and
every other place they could get a foothold.
An old gentleman, evidently a seafaring man.
was witn his daughter standing near the now.
and lie held In his ha ml a quaint -looking single

"in t In-1 n that" ia' in;,, jaunting to the Jubilee
and the Pilgrim, lie became very nervous
when the preputatory gun hud been fired, and
both of the l; ston boats continued to stand
away from the line, leaving the Vigilant and I
Colonla hovering near it. He lldgoted around,
and answered his daughter'e iiiiestions ab- I
aent-mimledly. He mumbled to himself con
tinually, and was heard to say: " 1 wish I was I
aboard one of them 'ere oralis. I d ahowthern '
lluh-duhners ofdoodes that they don't know
liotliin' to stand way off tbar and get handi

as time passed, placed the glass to his eye
every few seconds, and ejaculated dashes and
blanks until the air in his vicinity was as blue
us the water. His daughter, who wore glasses
and had a very calm and pleasing' face, tried
to quiet bun. bnt he waved her aside, and.
jumping on a, camp stool, began to yell and
shako his list at the men on the Jubilee and
Pilgrim The sound of Ills voice was probably
carried away by the wind before it had gone

an uneasiness of the stomach, were entirely
satisfactory. Most of the ladies were sup

bout many of those at the how endeavored
to stand up on the camp chairs and
benches so as to have a bettor view of the
Vigilant as she rounded the buoy. They did
not stand long, however, as the steumer
swung around in the trough of the sea. and
soon the deck was a mass of struggling human
beings.
Very few members of the Lillle Social Club
were seen on teck on the trip out to the buoy.
Tin.',., who del weather the trip were enthu

On the return trip those who were eeaslok

Tke firmament Waa Very Bleaalek an Bo
Wan the (trran.
The wind blew, the waves rolled with a death
ly motion, (lis ocean sloped downward in a
straight line to meet the sky, the whole World
and the Armament spun In dizzy circles, and
the good Iron steamboat Taurus, like Us
namesake, struggled to touch the heavona
with Its hind legs.
Then, with an easy, gliding motion the sky
came down and ehanged places with the
ocean, and all the water camo banging
against the Taurus, lifting her like a rocking
horse until she stood balancing herself on the
rudder on the crest of a wave, with her bow
pointed straight downward to tha sky. For a
moment only a moment she rested thus.
Then, with a heartrending splash, she fell
upon her keel, and rose with the ocean and
the skr into celestial regions unheard, un
dreamt of before. And, as the world rose
higher and higher Into space, and the Taurus
went cruising across the Milky Way. there
cnme Into the hearts of two of her passengers
the sentiment:
"Vorlly, verily, there are worse things than
death."
Upon this good ship Taurus were embarked
the members of the New York Yacht Club and
their friends, who wero possessed of an Idiotic
desire to see the third trial race. Why any
man. after getting outside Sandy Hook, should
wont to see a yaoht race. or. for that matter,
want to do anything but dlc.lsoneo' those mys
teries that have for centuries puzzled philoso
phers. But. what was more mysterious still,
with tho exception of a Sun reporter and two
women who had never seen a yacht race bo
fore, these persons really enjoyed the thing or
else wore consummate actors. There were
not many persons aboard, but those who were
there did not seem to mind the freaks of the
ocean and the sky a bit. They walked up and
down the deck with marine glasses in their
hands, and talked with the utmost confidence
about "peak halyards" and ' falling to
'loo'rd'." and "eating up into the wind,' and
other oabaltstio tilings.
There were not more than fifteen women on
the boat, and of these all but the two referred
to uppea.ed somehow or other to enjoy the
whole atlair. At ono time the reporter, upon
emerging from the cabin, saw two very styl
ishly clad young women walking arm in arm up
and down the deck. As they came near the
cabin door one of them remarked :
"If I'd been on board the Vigilant she
wouldn't have housed her topmast"
F.ven as Tim BUN man was wondering how
any one could notice such a trivial occurrence
as the housing of a topmast, tho sight of tho
Highlands flying lumultuously across the sky
drove him back into tho cabin.
Before tho Taurus started Secretary J. V. 8,
Oddie said: "If anybody Is susceptible to
seasickness he'll c.itoh as fine a dose of it to
day na he ever will catch in his life."
Well, the Tauriu started gently down the
bay. and her deck was us even as a plumber's ;
spirit level. Every faco was fresh and
smiling: tho sky was bright and clear,
and everything was in a high heaven of loveli
ness. Thon the Hook cuius In sight, the ocean
stretched far away, and everything continued
to be lovely. Only those two women went he
low to rest It would not be interesting to tell
all that those yachting people did on board the
Taurus. They sat or stood aloug tlie rail, and
followed the race with tho deepest interest. ',
They criticised the handling of the racing .
boats and made comments upon their naviga
tion, but all those remarks were of a technical I '
nature. To those two women, however, tho
race, the world, life, death, and every thing else '
nppoarod in en entirely di'l'erctit hcht.
Oneof them wasaiweil-kiiowu society woman. '
She had been smilinguntil the Scotland Light- j ,
ship came in view. The sight of the lightship i '
seemed to bring some sad remembrnnce to her ,
mind, for she turned pnle and went below.
Then the cataclysm began. The lightship i ,
wobbled up and down and around and around,
and. suddenly, asnbigwavo camealong. made
a wild jump into the sky. The Taurus at the j
same time sank with a sickening motion to
the bit to m of the ocean, and for a moment J
sotted there. Then the mermaids must hare i !
shoved her. for she went flying up into the
clouds like a skyrocket and left the ocean far
bohind her. This sort of thing kept up until i
The Spn man ceased to observe it or to euro I
whether tho Taurus became a balloon or a
submarine cruiser.
Secretary Oddie walked gayly up and down
the deck, remarking "This is glorious:"
Other persons made similar foolish remarks.
One man evon remarked that It was exhilarat
ing. At noon a luxurious lunch was served, and
nearly everybody on board ate. Tho only per
sons who really seemed to have a clear idea of
the state of affairs wero the waiters. These
men. pale-fooed and hollow-eyed, reeled
around in a listless fashion, caring ns I It t lo for
tips as they did for living. Often they would
stagger against the cabin wall and rest for a
few minutes before proceeding to a table. One
of them, a youth who had suddenly lost all his
ambition, said:
"Gar. 'eef I dawn' die rite avay I keel my
self." Hut. wonderful to relate, the Taurus lived
through it all: sailed saTely through sky and
water, and finally, when the race was over, re
turned to the harbor witli its bottom intact
The two women came out 01 the catiin nmaed
to ilnd that they were not angels, t hat the boat
was sailing toward New Vork inslead of Para- '
dlse. and the sky and the land had resumed
their old places.

form. Through this keel the metal centre
board Is dropped. The most remarkable leu
ture of the bout is the material of which sho is
built. The frames are steel, but the plating
from the sheer strake down la of Tobln bronze.
The rivets are of bronze. The bottom is very
smooth, and. of course. Is free from corrosion. '
There Is a constant exfoliation going on. which
keeps the surface free from weeds mid hurnu- ;
cles. It Is also capable or a verv high polish.
When the boat is hauled out the surface is
burnished. The foro body of tho boat
shows the same fulness below water
near the stem as the f ohmia. The run
aft Is verv tins under water, but very !
full on the quarters. The overhang at
theend is circular: the buttock lines are all '
convex, and rise with an easv sweep to theerul I
of the counter. Above water there is the same j
high side as in the Colonla. The rig Is very
huii'lsome The spars Appear about perfect.
Her soils nre far and ant the best of the lour
boats. As these were the only ones made in
New York, we may he justly proud of tlioui.
This boat has neon built, one might say. re-
frardlsss of consequences. How long she v, ill
at is a question for time loneeiae. There I
have been reports that a decided corrosion of
the steel frames lias tuken place nlroHdy. As
Ills is only a rumor, no dependence is to be '
placed upon it.
The manifest purpose In the delgn oi the
Vigilant was to have something different from
the Colonlu. and at the sumo timeto have In
the field a boat of the deep centreboard type,
with which we have been so successful. The
selection of suoh extreme dimensions, even in
a centreboard boat, was not an experiment,
for the reason that an enlarged Tltania would
aorae out about the same with the exception
of the draught, the Vigilant being deeper in
proportion.

Major Perry of the Salvation Army was se
lected to open the Indignation meeting which
was held Inst night in the llergon Reformed ,
Church In Jersey City to protest against the i
recent arrest of fourteen members of the Army :
by the police of the Seventh precinct on a t
charge of being disorderly persons.
Tho church, which Is a large one. was filled J
to its utmost capacity. The platform was oc- ,
enpied by several clergymen and prominent
citizens. Men and womon warriors of tho
Army. Colonels. Majors. Captains. Adjutants, ,
ensigns, and a few privates, all uniformed, oc-
cupled tho front pews. .
Major Perry introduced William H. Boach as ,
the presiding officer. Mr. Bench made a brief t
address setting forth the objeot of the meet- j
ing and counselling moderation.
Stephen B. Hansom, probably the oldest j
member of the Hudson count v bar. was the J
first speaker. "The people who are here to- ,
night." he said, "show the same spirit ns nnl- 1
mated the patriots of 1770. The Interference '
of the police with people who were worship- t
ping i. o,i after tho dictates of their own 1
bruits was an attompt to crush out the '
spirit of liberty. I do not decry the
police as a body. They are tho guardians of
the public, but. as now organized, they seem
to consider themselves the governors of the
community, with power to drag citizens to
jail at their pleasure. The heads of the de
partment must be held responsible for the
outrage. Neither they nor any other set of
men. Commissioners, or any one else, have
the right to arrest people as these Salvation
ists were arrested. The police have the right
to arrest persons who are violating the law.
but the Salvationists wore not violating the
law. No one had complained, and so the police
said Mr. Gates hail complnined. Mr. Gates de
nied It He said he did not like Salvation
Army methods, but that wns all. That was
his priviloge. He will come around all
right in time. Next It wns said the Salvation
ists had obstructed tho streets without a per
mit If the police can stop these people
from holding meetings on their own property,
they can stop any of you from giving a lawn
party in your own yard."
A letter from the Hev. Cornelius Brett, pastor
of the church, was read by the Chairman. He
hoped the meeting would be a success, and
expressed his sympathy with the object of It.
The llev. Kdward McMiun. pnstor of the
Summit Avenue Baptist Church, said there I
was nothing to be advanced against the police '
as individuals. They were all right, but it I
seemed that the men In power wore actuated i
by impulse instead of bv the law. This wns i
demonstrated at tho Salvation Army barracks t
Sunday night. Hoodlums assailed the meet- i
Ing with jeers, but there was no police protco- I
tion. because the Salvationists wore at war i
with tho police.
" The Lord has recognized the Salvation
Army, as is shown by Its success and its work ;
therefore wn must recognize it" he continued. I
" I have been to their meetings, and I have 1
heard that 'outrageous drum.' but It did not
-trlke me as outrageous. Going home .
saw a great crowd in the streets,
but no policeman disturbed it. Tho
rowd was in front of a saloon, and
'here was a chowder party inside. A police
man finally came along, but ho did nothing.
He probobly had his orders from Headquar
ters. I saw in that saloon n dozen boys not i
jvor twelve yours old, and they were (
ill learning the lesson of Intoxication. .
I'he secret of the success of the Salvationists
lies in their music. Tho people they deal with i
vie accustomed to noise. They are not ac-
MiBtomed to the quiet of thechurohes, and tho .
music of the Salvationists appeals to them. '
her. 'Tore the Salvationists are not a nul- 1
lanee."
Dr. John L. Scudder of the Tabernacle fol- t
owed. 1
" Why should tho police tell these peoplo
low to worship God I" he asked. "If they e
ivant drums, let their drums beat. They
inve Biblical authority for it. In the old r
lays cymbals and other noisy instru-
netils were used In religious worship. If i
he Ancient Order of Hibernians wanted to c
,iarade they would receive permission, but the r
Salvation Army would not. Why? Because 1
those high In authority sympathize with tho
saloon, and the Salvationists are the foo of tho
saloon."
Dr. Scudder suggested that a committee be
appointed to wait on the police authorities and '
request that the Salvation Army he allowed to
parade.
"If the privilege Is refused," he exclaimed,
"let them parade without it. and if they are
arrested these police authorities wilt hear t
from all the churches and from the decent I
people at the next election. We partly broke i
the ring when we elected Wanser Mayor, but
tho old police are still in power. We must got
rid of them."
The suggestion to appoint a committee was ,
adopted, and John L. Scudder. Stephen II.
ltiinsom. Daniel Hnllornn. Hubert Perry, Ed
ward McMinn. and Matthew Poster were ap
pointed. Chairman I'.eaeh was added to the
committee. '

NoBTHWoon. Sopt. 8. It rained one night
last week, and the wind blew over from the
mountains and through the big treos that '
mark the beginning of the Eighty-mile Woods '
with a vigor and sharpness that were sugges
tive of bleak October. It was a typical night 1
tor ghost stories, and the New Yorker who
jwns the oottage opposite tho residence of tho j
blacksmith entertained his guests, all women, '
by describing the ghost that appears on horse- '
tiack just below tho Dutch road at midnight j
svery night. Consouuontly tho ladles were In .
jondltlon for nightmares when thoy retired.
About 1 A. M. the host wns awa boned by
lalf-suppressed screams and hysterical ex- f
ilamatlons. Ho hastily throw on a dressing I
lown. secured his revolver, and stepped out
nto the hallway. The cries of his guests had ,
eased, but a peculiar sound arrested his at- i
ention. It was as though somebody were
rolling a ball slowly down the stairs. It went
iiimpely. bumpety. bump. With a thrill of t
lint unpleasant feeling which comos from '
lealing with the mysterious and unknown. ,
he man crept over to the head of the stairs .
ind looked down. Ho saw nothing, and all J.
tras silent He screwed up his courago and i
Talked down the stairs. Still he found not h - s
ng. Whon he returned to the upper floor
leads wore sticking out of the doors and the ,,
ronton were excitedly discussing the noise, t
I'hey were greatly frightened, but the host re- '
issured them by telling them the wind some- t
lmes made strange noises, and advised them o
o cover their heads with the bodclothes. v
Thsy hael hardly returned to their rooms, o
lowevor, before the noise was repeated, and a
'eoond investigation proved equally fruitless. I
V. third time all retired, only to be again 1
iwakened. As there was no prospect of further h
deep, and the women were on the verge of n
lysterics, the host dressed him-elr rom- a
iletely and determined to Investigate more
horoughly. First he went outside and walked p
.round the house to make sure that tho noise It
vas not caused by the creaking of the trees or tl
inytbing of that sort. There waa no sound
rithout except the sighing of the wind. When ,
10 roturned to the house he found the women
nore excited than ever, for the noise had
tut ted ni.-iiiii shortly aftor he had left, and 1
lad continued until his reappearance, when it
lad suddenly stopped. He now lighted a
amp and made a thorough search of the hall
.ml stairs. There was no sign of anything, tl
'he women wanted to dress and come down.
oo, but upon bis promise to remain on guard,
hey lm nged their minds and went baok to n
heir beds.
Ho sat down at the foot of the stairs with the
amp and his revolver and waited. No sound ,
fas heard for a long time, and llnally he dozed "
'tl into a light eleop. He was awakened by d
omeihiiig brushing against his band, and D
tarted up in alarm. He oould Bee nothing.
nd another search failed to reveal anything. n
thoroughly puzzled, and eomewhat alarmed, w
io now remained thoroughly awake until the B1
awn dispelled all possibility of further mys- w
ery. when he put out tho lamp and returned "
o his room. It scorned as though he had been w
sleep only a few minutes when he was awak- ?
nod by shouts of laughter. He arose, dressed '
lurriedly. and went down stairs. He found Ic
he women assembled In the room at the foot ,
f the stairs with broad smiles on their faces. "
'hey hud solved the mystery. Q
I" ndor the piano, sofa, and chairs lay a lot of "
pples. All had been bitten into. At the head cl
f the stairs was the explanation of this puz- !
le. It was a big mouse hole. Evidently a ','
louse or several mice had tried to carry the "
pples upstairs to this nole, but their teeth "'
ad slipped, and the apples had rolled down "
lie stairs. They had rolled far enough from "

ra. but that Is because their schemes are so lc
ever we cannot run thorn down. The chief o
'iis.'U for our writing less liberal policies ,i
broad and in tho southern portion of this ,,
intinent is. however, because wars are so r.
oo iieiit and so liable to occur at any moment.
"Europe lsalwavs on tho brink of a great ic
ur. und if we should write incontestable
alleles there wo might be ruined any time. bi
i the Central und South American States
volution-, are in progress all the time. If :
ur policies wore not subject to cancellation "
tero wo should be subjected to great losses J
iiitinually. our method Is to write tho
illcies freely, but cancel thein whonover a A
vo'iutum occurs in the countries in which
le policy holders reside."

rates freoly and without difficulty lu Its in- v
antile tongue with whoever It may moot that '
nay catch its fancy. Thus, on tho train this
norning I saw a little American of maybe six '
r eight months, who couldn't speak any
snguage at all, conversing actively with a
lg man with a kindly, cheerful face who
lat in the next seat buck und could speak
lothing but io i m nn. Tho little child
aughed. und wnved Its hand at the big man in
inimuteilly, and said '(too.' or something of "

hucked the little child gontly under the chin f
md laughed, too, saying ut tho same time J
lometliing thai seemed to please the child cl
