A Bold Robbery.


POLICE CONSTABLE STEWART KNocKFD DOWN AND
ROBBED.
A bold and successful attempt was made, this
morning, to rob Police Constable Seth Stewart.
1t appears that about the hour named he left
the Police headquarters and went to his home at
GIL Poplar street. Upon is arrival there, he
found man sitting upou his door steps, appar-
emily asleep or intoxicated. lie tapped him on
the shoulder and lifted him to his feet, with an
admonitlon to find some other place to rest.
The man replying that he had no place, the officer
offered to conduct him to the hall, and
started off with him for that purpose.
Tho stranger, who evidently was only
"possuming" staggered againat Mr.. Stewart, and
then struck him heavy blow with his fist along
side of the head The blow partially stunned
the officer, and as he fell he clutched the pre-
tender by the throat and both fell over on q par
of cellar doors, the officer on top. BY this time,
another man, hid behind coal box, came to the
assistance or tho frat robber, and kicked at Mr..
Stewart's face. Mr.. g., with the disengaged
arm, grabbed No. 2 robber around the
log aud held on to the throat of tho one with
his left hand. All three of the parties struggled
across the pavement and fell across aomo bar
rels when hearing the voice OF neighbor tell
ing Mr. Stewart to hold on until he could come
to his assistance, ther finally dieengaged them
selves and decamped, but not before they had
robbed Mr.. Stewart of his pocket book contain
ing s24 So.
The two men were soen in the vicinity in the
afternoon and arc supposed to hayo seen Mr..
Stewart pay Jesse G. Miller, at the corner of
Sixth and Poplar, a bill and knowing that he
had money took that plan to get it.

No Yacht Race, Yesterday.

THE CAPE MAY RACES OFF FOR THIS YEAR-No WIND
THE oAusE-A RACE TO NEW YORK By THE FLEET.
CAPE MAY, July II.
To-day WAS the exact reverse of yesterday,
Then magnificent contest occurred. To-day
none has ACQUIRED at all In the former case
there was a fair wind to and from the Lightship.
In this there has been none whatever. AT II, A.
M, the wind died away. 30 that the Madeleine,
which was under full sail on her way to New YORK
without any foretopmast barely made headway.
She WAS saluted by gun from the Tallapoosa-
The vessels which had entered for the race were
the Mohawk, Rambler, Idler and Sunshine,
schoonors; and the Sadie, n lex, and VIII t.
wing. The vessels which returned home were
the Dreadnaught, Resolute, Greedy, Vesper, and
chored in front Of Congress Hall. There being
no wind, the committee ordered that nothing
should be done until p. NJ, and then, if no
breeze should favor, the races would be off for
this year. When that hour arrived there was not
the faintest evidence of wind, and then it was
decided to consult with the yacht owners as to
whether the contest should be renewed to-mor-
row. 1t WAS finally decided that as they would
need to make the best possible time to New York
in order to participate in the cruises of
the New York and Brooklyn clubs the races had
better be called off for the year. The steam
yacht race will not take place, only the Ideal,
Mr.. Havemeyer's boat is here.
There will be an interesting race from here to
Now 1ork pebWeen tue hloopb anu rouooheIe
which left here tonight for home. However
light the breeze may prove to be, 1t will probab-
ly be favorable, as the prevailing winds this sea-
son are from the south, southeast or south
west.
The failure to have race to-day disappointed
the many who came downin tugs and steamboats,
to witness it, and who did not attempt to make
the dangerous landing in the front Of the hotels.
The Plymouth Rock arrived from Philadelphia
crowded with 5000 persons, who swarmed
on the main, upper, and hurricane
decks. The steamship Pottsville came
from the same city with number of Off
cals and officers of the coal companies. Having
ascertained that there would be no race, they
turned their bows towards home amid the firing
of cannon, the Ginning Of bells, and dipping of
flags, and bid farewell to Cape May.
lowing to the timo allowance, it was not the
Mowhawk which won Tuesdays race, although
she came in first, but the Madealine. .-ED. COM

One Of the most important things in bringing

They cannot always be kept under, and their

invarlable rule that if they don't get what to
them is an actual necessity supplied at home and
in abundance they will 60 elsewhere for IL, and
very likely, in thus being allowed to choose for
themselves, get into vicious habits, which grow

HAMILTON AND CARROLL THE coNTEsTANTs-
aRooME VIRTUALLY OUT OF THE RACE.
BALTIMORE, July Is.
Tho AMERICAN now counts up 43 delegates
for Hamilton, % for Groome, and "a for Car
roll. 1t says There is probability that when
the Convention meets the only genuine entries
will be Hamilton and Carroll. Mr.. Carrolls
friends were very confident yesterday that
he can depend ultimately upon fifty-eight votes
in the Convention, which will be two moro than
he needs to make him the Gubernatorial candi-
date. In that case the ticket will be Carroll,
Gwn and Woolford.
Tho situation has been changed within the
last twenty-four hours. 1t is said that Mr..
Groome is virtually out of the race, and that the
great majority of his strength will go to Mr.. Car
roll. In this contingency Mr.. Carrolls chances
are strengthened, and the prospect has set the
city delegation to work again.
