THE YACHT RACE.

An account by telegraph of the yacth race
in New York on Monday, for the Queens cup
says, as the starting gun was fred the Cam
bra, sailed by Capt. Comstock and eighteen
men, which had been lying close under Staten
Island shore expecting, as Comstock said, a
six knot breeze from the west, was surprised
by the wind coming directly from the south,
placing the vessel to the leeward of the fleet
The mainsail was first sent up and the cable
slipped, when the breeze sent her OFF ON the
port tack instead of starboard, thus turning
her head in shore. The foresail and both jibs
were sent up, but failed to pay her off to star
beard for nearly two minutes. This placed
her over mile behind the leading yacht.
Then the jibboom of the Halcyon fouled the
mainsail of the Tarolinta just in the track OF
the Cambria, and made another delay. At
last they were all fairly off on the starboard
tack, making start boards, till outside the
Narrows, when all run under Cony Islands
Point and then stretched away for Southwest
Spit the Magic leading. The Magic contin-
ued to lead at Southwest Spit, followed by the
America SecOnu- DduHlltSs SlStil, anu
Cambria thirteenth Outside the Hook the
breeze slackened about one-half, and the
lightship was rounded in the following order;
Magic, Idler, Dauntless, America, Sylvie,
Phantom, Madgie, and Cambria.
After rounding the lightship the Cambria
sent up her 1oregafftopsail and almost imme-
diately a gust of wind struck her foretopmast
which was carried away just above the cap.
Still she kept on, and at Southwest Spit on
her return she held the eighth place.
The Magic, which won the cup, is owned
by Franklin Osgood of New York. She is
92.2 tons and has an area of 1850 square feet
of canvass against the Cambria measuring
227.6 tons with 2, los area of canvass.
The scene in the bay as the yachts return
ed was very animated. Statutes were fired,
whistles blown, and cheers went up from
thousands of Threats. The Cambria when
she arrived with her foretopmast gone and
other damage was yociferously cheered.

WAR SPLINTERS.

Forney describes the Prince Imperial,
who is now in his fifteenth year, as 'what
the girls would call sweet little fellow,
with the olive complexion and face of an
Italian; black hair, and black eyes, and
very graceful in his movements"
The Mitrailleurs, which the French boast
proved at Saarbruck to be the most de-
structive military weapon known to mod
ern warfare, is IA light 81 barreled riied,
breech-loading gun, placed OF wheels and
looking like field-piece, so arranged as
to discharge one barrel or all at a time
The French claim that its aim is unerlng,
and that it has double the range Of the
needle gun.
The Prussians have celebrated their
victory with hearty demonstrations OF JOY
in Europe and America, as they have
good reason to do; and may they con-
tinue in the same way.
NJ. Emile Olivier. the French Premier,
said recently 20 II committee of the Corps
Legislatif, when the question of the publ
cation of war news was before them
MAKE what observations you like, and
vote as you please; but you will not pre-
vent us from killing the journals which
would embarrass and kill u.s."
A romantic story of an aged woman who
offered her services rs cdntintere Is told by
a French journal. She was found aban-
doned in hut on the field of Jena, and
was adopted by a French regiment, who
named her Tenette. She married a
wealthy young officer, who subsequently
lost his property in speculations, and died
in 1927, leaving his wife in destitute cir
cumstances. Her offer to join the army
was accepted, when her history became
known.

POLITICAL.

The Republican State Convention OF
New York will be held on the 9TH day of
September next.
President Grant will issue his proclama-
ton of neutrality when he returns from
St. Louis. He is of opinion that the war
win be long and exhausting,
|. The returns from North Carolina give
the state to the democrats, and United
States Senator. They indicate the cleo
ton Of four Conservative Congressman
from the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh
Districts, with the Fifth District in doubt
The Conservative gain in nearly every
county heard from leaves no doubt of a
majority in the Legislature on a joint bal
lot, The returns already in show that the
| Conservatives gained 20 members in the
Legislature, with more than half the Coun-
ties yet 20 hear from.

The Somerset Railroad.

The Arson Advocate has an editorial and
a communication on the Somerset Railroad,
now building from West Waterville to Bing-
ham. The correspondent says that the gra-
ding and masonry from West Waterville to
Norridgew ock-l4 miles-is completed, and
that there are subscriptions enough to COM
plete the grading to North Anson-leaving
money to be raised to complete the bridges
ever the Kennebec at Norridgewock and
Madison. About $4,000 are needed at
once to purchase the iron and lay the track
from West Watervile to Norridgewock,
which would render the road success. The
of the country which this road drains to see
that the road is built on the present location
to West Waterville. Mhe Advocate, which
has been and still is a strong friend of the
Skowhegan route, advocates giving up the
graded line from Norridgewock to West
Waterville, and connecting with the Somer-
set and Kennebec road at Skowhegan. The
Advocate says that the consolidated Maine
Central will extend their road from Show
hogan to Norridgewock, if such connection
can be made, and that the Somerset road will
save the cost of the iron from West Water
Vile to Norridgewock, and the expense OF
completing the Norridgewock bridge. The
Advocate argues that this plan would secure
the imme date completion of a railroad into

Lynde's Hotel.

Lynde's HOTEL
The new hotel built by Mr.. G. A. Lyndc
in Rockland, is handsome two-story build
ing, large, and having airy and pleasant
rooms looking out upon the bay in the rear
and the country in front. 1t well arran ged
house and will be kept in first style. Mr..
Lynde is experienced as a landlord, and has
Il popular and well known clerk to give his
immediate attention to travellers. We rec
ommend the new hotel to the attention of
our travelling friends, feeling confident that
they will find it an agreeable place to tarry
at. 1t is quite an addition to the appearance
of the thriving city in which it is erected
and will, we trust be literally patronized, and
supply the lack of good hotel Accommodations
which has been felt in Rockland for some
time.

The Knox 4 Lincoln Railroad.


A correspondent of the Press states that
the Knox & Lincoln Railrond is being push
ed forward with the utmost vigor, and it is
hoped that the rails may be laid and the
trains in motion as early as November next
The hardest place yet encountered on the
line of the road is at Woolwich near the
Kennebec river, where cut, about 200 feet
long, GO feet deep, and 50 feet wide is to be
made in solid ledge; and just back of the
ledge there is a cut to be made of about the
same dimensions through clay bed that is
even worse than the ledge, as the same num-
Der of men can remove more square yards of
the ledge in ten hours than of clay. The
ferry boat which is being built at Bath for the
company will be a powerful boat, l40 feet
long, 52 feet wide, and so constructed as to
be able to carry an entire train of cars from
one side of the river to the other at one trip.
