lyn Club.
THE CORINTHIAN RACES
Testing the Skill of Our Young
Amateur Sailors.
FINE SPORT IN SHIFTING BREEZES.
Tbe nineteenth annua) regatta of the Brooklyn Yacht
Club waa saiied yesterday under very lavorablo
aonpleev Tbe morning was one of bright promise,
IxtilieDiBi then no djiirih ol wind lor the rsce, or
ratber racea, and tun! gbt with cooling airs for the ex
cursionists The programme, too, wns one ot rich
promise, for among tbe namea of the yachts appenrod
tnnny noted for tbeir fast sail ng, and some were con
sidered so evenly matched that lew persons could
prophesy to which would 1*11 tho victory. The
contest between the sloops attracted the great
est attention, there being many new ones
among the entries. Thls.lntercst was enhanced by tho
report that a special but ol $500 a Hide on the Susie S.
and W. T. Lac was also to be detorinined by the result.
The conditions or tho regatta provided for the division
of the yachts into Ave classes, tho first embracing only
first clash schooners. In this cl?ss were only two
entries, the Madeleine and Tidal Wave, neither
of which started, in consequcnce or having
been disabled in tbe regaitu of Thursday. As
ir for the special delight of the spectator*,
the elements conjured up another treat in audition to
those on tho card, 'luiu was a remarkable mirage
that played strange pranks with all kinds of crsft in
the oiling, deceiving the vision of approaching ob
servers. A peculiar tiliny hazo seomod to obliterate
the horizon aud mingle son and sky.
Two steamboats, the William Cook for the guests and
the Pletchor lor the judges and the pre**, lolt Martin's
Pock promptly at half-past nine yesterday morning,
decked with the colors ot the contesting yachts, and

it was a ooon ueuiXN.Nu.
The water was dotted on all sides w th Hitting cralt ol
til kinds. Several of tho vessels ol the Mew York Club
wero ol the company. As the yachts or the Brooklyn
Jluo moved out beyond the Nairows they also over
hauled a number < f those belonging to the Seawall
liuk.i Club, which wero sailing tboir Corm
tti.au regatta. Tho wind had hot only fresh
ened, but was now blowing Iroin the west, striKlug
the ysclits abeam they passed outward. They had
not proceeded much beyond Fort Hamilton, however,
when it utcaino slutting aud uncertain again. As they
pursed out from the shelter of tuo laud the Arrow, the
Comet and Kate were still ahead, in the order named,
with a noticeable gup between tlicm aud tho rest.
About 12h. linn. tho Fletcher, having passed
through two-thirds of the deet, kept ou,
within easy view of tho foremost vesse.s.
which wero now speeding on brsvelv or.der
working canvas beforo a gradually freshening breeze.
Soon the smaller vessels were lelt far behind und
those in tho lead made ror the Snit buoy, stlil headed
ny the Arrow. Within a short distance from the buoy
tue Fletcher catuc to a stand still to take tho tnue of
the passing yachts. The Arrow p^.sed tne unjy at
lb. 28m. Ma., and the Comet followed rounding the
murk at 111 :Win. 4is. P. M. Tho Gracie, Kate and
I ndiue, at sotno distance however, lollowed in tho
order named, but their time was not taken as tho
Arrow and Cornel were t( Hiding off so briskly tfie
judges were obliged to put off alter them wltnout Delay
to as to be up to t ike tlieir time at lb? Lightslr.p.
Meanwhile the littlo sloops behind wero trying to
overcome ihe dilHcultiea that beset them. Too smit
ing and uncertain winds tbey encountered battled and
annoyed them, but they bore onward with commend
ible persistency aud pluck. The people on the judges'
boat oould not keep track of them, snd, in the ab
?eucc of positive iutormat:oa concerning their achieve
nents, some very pro:ouud

Governor Kirk, formerly Minister to the ArgeuCins
Kepublir; ex .Secretary Delano and a crowd of ei
federal office holders lia\*e found a strange fascination
n tho torn d atmosphere ol this place, where it la
always afternoon and tho houses hide themselves away
n dense still masses ol (ullage. Prominent. among
those who love the retirement and repose of tbo town
ik General George \V. Morgan, ono of the ablest and
most highly respected democratic politicians of the
State. He m iho foremost champion of William
Alien for President, and ho has certain Ideas on
tho grtenback question which will presently b?
neon to have some interest If they hav?
no weight for ihe pooplo or the Kast. Goucral Morgan,
It will bo rememlterod, received the complimentary
?ote or th? democrats in tho llouse of Representatives
when lilairie was elected Speaker, and that is always
deemed a test of the place he who receives such an
honor holds in tlie estimation ot bis party. General
Morgan served when a youth in Die Texan war, in man
hood In tlie Mexican war and in matum years was i
general of volunteers In the war of tho rebellion, lit
was tlireo tlm s olectcd from this district to Cougresg.
and once ran for Governor, hut was beaten. Hie repn
ration stands high with men or all parties, and how
ever repugnant his present position ou tho financial
question may tv? to people in tho Kasi he nnquestinn,
ably Interprets the sentiment or a great mass lu thu
State, and no ono questions the honesty of his eonvio

Genera. Morgan undertook to show me that no demo
crat alivo could sweep tho country liko Bill Allen. H?
dwelt at great length on his capacity for statesman
ship, on ihe misconceptiou regarding his financial
views, on the ability or the man to deal with consutn
tion.ii and international questions.
"People don't understand what rortoraman Allen is.
He is a mar pr very broad and enlightened views. There
is nothing of the politician about him. He has a mindai
comprehensive as Jefferson's and as analytical as John
Adams'. Ho woulitofler no financial views to Congress
that the people did not approve. He would admiuwter
tho government as It bad never been administered ol
late jVurs. lor ho would know no socitou hnd be thf
tool of no party. And now, what aro his chances com
pared with the other candidates uatr.ed T He is strongoi
than I burman, and is tho only democrat to-day win

General .Mohi.a.n?As a system, the national bnnkini
laws are unjust and enable the banker lo draw
interest ou what ho owes as well as upot
what bo owns. Fur in-iance. hall a doxei
genilomen owning UOO.dOi in bonds deposit
them with Ilia federal govoruuicui as security and
receive in erciinngo lim.noo in Uauk notes. The bono*
they paid for and rigbtiully draw interest on, but tho
bank notes tliey got lor nothing, aud also draw itiioreil
on them. These six men, who own IMO.OOII m bomll
and e.-iabiisli a nutiooal bank, flraw interest, not upon
that uiuouui simply, but ou $luo,ouo. whilo six otbe'
persons having u private bank or saving- bank will
Slow.ixsi can ottiy draw merest ou that amount
Tho consequence is that an inducement t
Jield out to the savings bank to rharg<
higher rates of interest "m order that their income oi
a given amount m y equal ih.it of the. national h.mk
Anoiher reason wny the national bankcurroucy slioul'
b" taken out and the bond and mortgage debt pud ol
as soon an may be is, lhat the people would thernh
?;ivn about f30.00u.fj00 a yet?r lor ino interest pal!
