If the defender wins by means of British canvas it would not" be an American victory at all when the only consolation would be that the superiority of British workmanship re ceived so fine a testimonial." Matlnicock Point, May 2'5. After a pretty thorough testing of the Reliance and the Columbia in Hght, uncertain airs;: in which the new boat certainly , showed superiority, the yachting fra ternity hailed with some satisfaction this morning a. fine, steady breeze of about five knots' strength blowing in from the southeast, As a similar breeze ; held all day yesterday there was hope that it would continue to day and give the third contest between the yachts some semblance to a race. It is somewhat singular that in but few of the' preliminary races and cup contests for eight years has the wind (been of more than ordinary strength and that the oldest of the three boats, Columbia, has .never raced in a breeze if over 20 knots' velocity. The strong N southwestern such as well nigh wreck- 1 ed the Independence while rounding Cap Cod. two years ago, and which pent. the New York '.Yacht-club' fleet from Newport to Vineyard Haven, and then round' to Provincetown. last Au gust, have been absent when the time came to race the cup yachts. But there were no indications of any howl- ing southw ester to-day and In view of the calm and fickle breezes last, week . the crews of the thrcse yachts appeared hankf ul , for the soft Ive-knot breeze The day from a spectators' stand point was delightful. The sky was clear, , the air cool and invigorating and any quarter-' "v- -i ' ' ' - ; With the wind; front the southeast it looked df tne-committee would qend the yachts over the small equilateral triangular course of fifteen' miles with - a broad reach across the Sound to Great Captain's Island, a. beat of .six miles to Oyster Bay and another reach to' the finish. "With so little windward wprE.and so much reaching it again looked . like a good day tor the Reli ance. '' ';;-y ''.

At 10:30 there was every indication that the race would start on time and ' finish early in the. afternoon. The wind was freshening rapidly and was hauling arov-V to ., a little west of south. . here was some doubt as to the"' - to be sailed. ' '''' All three 'of jthe yachts were .ready to get under way before 11 o'clock and at Hbout the same time the tug with the turning marks arrived off the point New; York,- May 26i Not a possible chance for the America's cup is con- ceed to the Shamrock III by a yacht , owner and gentleman, member of the New York Yacht club.who has wagered $1,500 to $1,000 that the Reliance will win in one, two. three order. David Barrie, Sir Thomas Llpton's commer rial manager in this country, took the bet. . v Mr Barrie. was somewhat astonished when the American, in discussing the . chances of the yachts, made the bold statement that Shamrock III would not take on of the series of races, but wheDTthe-Offer was made to back the opinion "at the odds quoted, promptly coverea tne money. Mr Barrie acknowledges that . the wnger has been made, but refused to name the mein-bei of the New York Yacht cluib whose money he expects to Will. 1 - filen Cove;' May 28. At 9 o'clock the Columbia and the Constitution lay moored. In Hempstead harbor, but the Reliance, which lay at anchorage at City island, had not put In an appear ance. The crew of the Constitution were stirring early, and as the nimble tars scurried aloft there was a deter ml nation to win race money to-day an parent in their activity. Every spar, rope ana diock whs carefully scrutin ized, and before 8 o'clock the'headsails were sent aloft in stops. The Colum bia's crew were not far behind tiat of her competitor and a lively brush it was between them in hoisting the great mainsails. The Columbia's crew, npurred on by its officers, won out in tills improvised contest by a few min utes' time. The forenoon was -well advanced when the first of the excursion fleet appeared ' beyond Execution rock. About the same time the Reliance was observed near the shore of the main land, under Rail, with her tender, the Sunbeam, astern. Soon the excursion fleet began to ap pear In larger numbers, and some live ly bursts of speed, were made by the big uteam yachts in their rush for ad vantageotis.' positions at the starting line. Following these were a long line of mall palling craft, and the regatta rnmmlttoe boat the Privateer. The wind Increased as the morning jilrnnoed-awl at 10 o'clock had fresh med to nine knots. A triangular course was decided up on wlttf legs of five miles each. The course was fifteen miles, to be sailed over twice. The Reliance crossed the starting line first at 12:15:03, Columbia 12 :15 :08, Constitution' 12 :13 ;28. The twind was Wowing twelve knots an hour. ."'.. : f On the first leg the Reliance beat the Constitution less than one half minute. The boats had 'a strong wind all the way and the showing of the new boat was something of a disappointment. The'Reliance turned the second mark at l:14i07, the Constitution at 1:15:01, and the Columbia one and one-half mlles astern. The Columbia turned the second mark at l:23:oa. Asi the .boats ran , down to the second, mark the wind shifted' a little to the east ward and dropped a trifle. This slack ness affected the Columbia first and she' dropped 'behind very fast On the way from the second-mark the Reli ance seemed to gain and turned the home stake -at 1:44:28, the Constitution following at 1 :47 :30. Both 'boats were badly handicapped by two long tows; one of which carried away the home stake and hindered both 'boats from turning. The Colum bia was still away astern. On the run to the first mark for the second trip over the course the Consti tution , gained twenty seconds on the Reliance, due in some degree to getting plenty of breezes.. The boats turned the mark as follows! Reliance 2:12:35, Constitution 2:15:20, with the Colum bia still away astern. . .

Editor of the Democrat: ; . "Dear Sir: The day after the local trolley strike was inaugurated the Wa terbury Republican in its editorial col umns IOudly extolled the benefits of ar bitration when wisely applied to such conditions and even went so far as to name a list of citizens from .which to select the arbitrators. And whilst one party to the controversy has been con stantly appealing for such a tribunal, the other party to the contest has thus far repudiated the idea. The Repub lican, that clamored for arbitration in the beginning, has turned about face, and not content with supporting cor porate interests has constantly ma ligned and misrepresented those who cling to the principle the Republican so ably championed for one lone day. So constantly and persistently has this paper harrassed and embarrassed the representatives of labor during the unfortunate controversy it was thought best to treat its utterances with icon tempt, as too much time would be used in contradicting its falsehoods. The time v has arrived, however, when to remain silent would be criminal, as such silence would Impliedly admit the truthfulness of some of ,the assertions found in its columns. . The article in this morning's issue ycleped a report of the doings at last night's meeting of the Central Labor union was, admittedly gathered in frag mentary form and was undoubtedly put in shape in conformity with the positive anti-labor attitude of the pa per during the past four months. , The Central Labor union vmld warn the public against such gross ' and ex aggerated accounts of labor bodies. "Dissension" was not "rampant in the Central body;" neither were the bar tenders or butchers "jumped on to beat the band." On the contrary "it is confidently expected that from last night's meeting will spring renewed activity in behalf ." of those battling against great odds, and that the plans laid will mark an epoch in this memor able event.

''' No union that voted support In the beginning has withdrawn it, with two exceptions, and In those cases the withdrawal of support is more apparent than real.. The unanimity with which, union men rallied to the support of the trolleymen has been the marvel of the state and it is particular ly gratifying to find that at the end of nineteen weeks the , herculean effort a brought to disrupt the ranks of organ ized labor have made no Impression worthy of the name. A Judas was found amongst twelve apostles. Is H to be wondered at, then, if occasionally we find a dissatisfied person amonfest. so many union men. Organized labor is at present pass ing through a trying ordeal In our city. The persecution to which it is subject ed will but serve to bring out its bet ter qualities. .
