the course of the Royal Munster Yacht Club
this mornlnit for a cup valued at 00. The

A large fir t of etc am and vailing yacht and
craft of cvrry conceivable build and rig filled
the harbor, and excursion boata loaded to their
utmost capacity convcj ed the thouaanda of per
tons who had arrived during the night and
morning by railway from all part of Ireland
and Qucenstow n to Roche'a Point, Crosshaven,
Poor Head, and other points where a good vlow

The weather was clear and the wind fresh
from the northwest. Both treats were near the
line at gunfire, and crossed together at 11:07
o'clock. The Vigilant carried her big balloon
Jlbtopsall and the Urttannlaa small Jlbtopsall
and a Jaekyarder. As usual the Britannia got

bound In royal blue with bevelled gilded etlgea,
at first glance looks more like a prayer book
than the official record of America's first and
greatest yachting organization. On the cover.

The Keeeat Collision May Cans the Cap
tains to I.oae Their Ccrtlnentes,
Capt. Cranfleld of tho Valkyrie was Inter
viewed by a correspondent of the Xorth Itriilth
Dattu Matl after tho accident with the Satnnlta
and among other things says: "The Sotanlta
came down on tho port tack. We In tho Vnlk)
rie could not help ourseh es. Had all gone right
the Valkyrie would have been the first boat to
cross the line and she would have done well. I
know she would. I saw It stated In
tho papers that the Valkyrie was fifteen
minutes slower than before her altera
tions. That Is all bosh. I saw from tho
moment that the Satanita was bearing down
on us a collision was lne Itable and the thought
which flashed through my mind, as I jumped to
the tiller, to do what I could to save the ship,
was that our boat was not merely going to bo
cut down and sink, but) that lives were going to
be lost. Sir, It Is marvellous that lh raw era not
lost. Wo shoved alongside of Hebe. The
steward and two of the cooks were below. They
rushed on deck, nnd one of the crow who went
below hail his cap washed on in the main cntdn.
Lord Dunraven. who kept remarkabh cool, had
been earning out ray Instructions, but
the moment I grasped the tiller it whs
ecr man sao himself. Two of the
crcn caught Lady Lenox, and. by tho
way, she a ted like a heroine, and lifted her Into
a boat which came alongside. Thi-ru waa a bit
of a panic, but not much. All of tho crew are,
strange to wi) , sw Itnmers, and the most of them
Jumped overboard and weresaved. I, too, left
tho boat when I saw that It was hopeless that
she could float, but thinking that 1 might do
something tn time her, I Jumped back. How
ever, before one liuil tlmetoapeculato she heeled
o er, and tn in) horror I tuiv tho ship I had
taken across the stormy Atlantic go down In a
so k that a small boat could have lit rd In."
In speaking of tho collision the liici((nt7 irorld
says: "A question has been ml sol as to whether
n public iiu estimation will take place into the
i trciimstan'-es attending the sinking nf Vol
k)rie. e learn that tho UMial course followed
In regard m such occurrences Is Unit a resirt Is

of Irade do not, as wo understand, rc-cogulze
an) such club rules In the rase of registered
achts, and If an inquiry bo held the respective
Captains will bo put upon their trials fur their
certificates. At first sight this may seem rather
hard, but were It otherwise If Captains of reg

It would inevitably lead to the greatest dangers

Ha will Challenge for the Cape May and
Itoyal Victoria Cups,
Howard Oould was Interviewed by a corres
pondent of the London YachUno WorUl after
tho second race with the Britannia, and, among
other things, said:
" It was a great race, and, I should think, will
become historical as one of the keenest contests
ever sailed In these waters between two large
cutters. The Britannia got tho beat of us at the
start, and we could not get past her. Time and
again wo broke tack to get away, but It was of
no use. Round she camo on top of us again,
stopping our wind and falrl) holding us.
Hud wo once got clear I do not
think the would havo caught us again.
We aUo expected to catch her on the run, but
the v'lgilant was not running so fast to-day as
onThurMlay. In tho strong winds that day we
thought tho was lav lug down too much and we
took tw o tuns of lend mi board. This wu stowed
right aft, and 1 expect that was a mistake. Just
before w e ov erlappeti the Britannia rearing Kll
craggin i the ul round we sent the whole
crew from aft Into amidships. Whether It was
owing to that or to a little belter pulT of
wind from astern I cannot say, but In a
few minutes afterward we got alongside
of the Britannia. We have Just now
llnlthedatowlngallof the lead amidships. We
were not pleased with our tails either to-day.
The mainsail and both bead tails uro standing

Mr.bould also said that as yet he had not re
reived the Vigilant see rllflcate of rating under
Y It A rule, and that he was as curious as
an) one to ilud out. just what allow auce they
would have tn give the Britannia,
Ho said. "Your rules are harder on tall area
than ours, and 1 Intend to see where I can cut
an) thing down which we can spare, to as to re.
du'o our rating as much as possible. .After to.
day's race lean see that this time allowance Is
going to be an Important matter for us"
Mr liould thought the sv stem of living ttarts
rather agalt .t the Vigilunt. and said lte pre

tha Result of the lions Division.
LotDOt, July 2.1. In tho House of Commons
to-day Sir. Chamberlain resumed the debate on
the Evicted Tenants bill. Ho denied that there
was any necessity for exceptional legislation.
There was no district In Orent Britain In which
iho annual nnmlicrof evictions did not far ex
cced In proportion tho evictions which the
House is called upon to deal with lu Ireland.
Tho bill originated in tho Irish system of
clamor, nnd was forced from the (lovemment,
not by social, but by political and parliament
ary exigencies. Cheer. It might reestablish
a small minority of tonsnts, whllo It would In
duco tho rest to demand further legislation.
lie suggested that tho measure bo withdrawn,
and the evicted tenants In Ireland bo relieved
through the reCnactment and extension of the
thirteenth clauso of the Land act of 1HD1.
John Dillon. Antl.Paroelltte for East Slayo,
spoke warmly for the Evicted Tenants bill. Tlio
mon actlv e tn tho plan of campaign, he said, had
been denounced sometimes as criminals nnd
conspirators, somotlmes as the dupes of himself
and lils colleagues. But were the poor women
and children, who had borno the worst of the
pain and wretchedness from evictions, to bo
classed as conspirators? Would the House
seek to wreak vengeanco upon them for his
crimes T If tho voto of tho Irish people cnuld lie
taken to-day tho present bill, or ono much more
drastic, would bo carried six to one. There
werofl.OOO families In Ireland who possessed the
undoubted right to bo reinstated. He appealed
to the House, (o bo generous to these poor, starv
ing creatures, even If not admitting tho full
claims of Justice. ....
Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the unionists, at
tacked the bill in detail. It was a mad mcasurcho
said, not only because it was antagonistic to tho
interests nf every single bias, cut also ticcause
It provided for n. contribution from public funds
toward parish funds, nf which over) body had
heard so much, lledld not see why members of
tho House should lio railed on by the Oovern
ment to assist Ireland's representatives In this
Illegal, vile, and Impracticable conspiracy.
John Slorley, Chief Secretary for Ire land, said
It was notorious that tho great mass of the Irish
people npproved of tho bill. Would not tho
landlords prefer the arrears of one or two ) ears
rather than nothing at all r What profit would
a landlord get from a derelict holding on his
hands T It was regrettable that tho t)pjmltlnn
had thrown themseli es Into tho arms of tho Ir
reconcilable group of landlords. The Onv em
inent would not scruple to facn their constitu
ents, standing upon the principles of this bill,
whatever might bo done with It by tho House of
Lords.
The division on the second reading followed
Sir. Slorley's speech. It showed a voto of 250
for the bill and '..7 against It. The announce
ment of the result was greeted with prolonged
cheers from the (lovemment benches. Tho

In union there Is dissension, according to the
experiences of three Italian military societies of
this city, which have been trying to get together
on a common basis. They are the SocleH Hal
Una Redticl dcllo Patrlo Hattagllo, the Soclcta
Italians delle Mlllzla Tcrrltorlale, and tho Socl
etft Itallana Reducl delle Patrio Ilatlagllo Vete

seen service In the Italian army.
Just a yctr ago the first two societies named
above Joined forces nnd took the name of So

Mllltnri In Congondo dl Slutuo Hoccoroso In
Now York e dtntorno. Altogether about 148
men went with this name. Plus ('. Volta, for
merly President of ono of the old societies, be
came President of tho new organization,
A few weeks ago overtures wero made to the
thlnl, or Veteran! Society, with a view to its
alis orptlon. Tho new conglomerated society was
willing to add a few more lines to Its name, If
necessary, as an ev Idence of good faith. The
proposal was well rccelv ed by tho Vcteranl, and
a committee of three, waa appointed by President
Antonio Allann to confer with the Mllltnri. Tho
result was that a new constitution was
begun for tho three societies, and appli
cation was mrulo for Incorporation. When
the Vcteranl finally voted for consolidation.
President Allntio took tho precaution tnclntt
latoo paper for the signature of all tho mem
bers. It said, in Italian, thnt tho signers agreed
on April H. HUM, tn Join with the otlur two so
cieties under their Joint name. All the forty
two members signed, nnd tlio new socloty was
Incorporated nn July I),
At the lsst meeting, nn.Tuly 1H, tho committee
reported that alt tho preliminaries bsd been
completed, aud that tin Jul) 23, last night, nil
tho property of the Veternnl would be turned
over to the new organization. President Volta
offered his resignation, but by general consent
was asked to continue in oflko until the regular
election In Januars.
Then tho trouble, began. Servlgl'o SluttI of
217 Thompson street, nn ex-President of the

over the socict) apmpert). Ihero was .Mtl In
the treasury, but that didn't trouble htm half
so much ns the tings. Andnf tho three (lugs it
was the Pice iiilnl Hag which alficted him most,
for he had been Instrumental In n quiring it.
About two enrs ngo SluttI entered Into nor
resnamlemo with tlio Pin Inlnl family In Italy
nnd persuaded them tn present his society with
a flag. When It nrrlv ed it had a picture of Pic
cinlnl nil over It.
"We don't caro about the flap," said Presi
dent nlta last night, "Tho Vebcram hnd to
pay duly on It. and when they unrolled It there
was Pkrlntnl's picture. They never carried It,
because they couldn't recognize thnt kind of a
flag. I'll cinlnl was a Garibaldi vi tcrnii, but In
tho picture ho looks like ikcowbm,"
SluttI evidently viewed tho flag differently.
Ho was not at the meeting last etlneeday
night, but his friend, Plrtro Itocchlnnttl uf 71

arrangements to transfer tlm pnipert). They

Sir. Volta understood better what the trouble
was when he received vestenlay a copy of a
