NEW CITY BUILDINGS.

sTAGNATIoN OF BUSINESS AMONG BUILDERS
RECORD FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS.
For nearly thirty years there has never been
such a stagnaton of business among builders as
at the present time. Through the courtesy or
MIR. Walter w. Adams, Supertn tendent OF
the Building Department, one Of our re-
porters has been enabled to obtain some
idea OF wnat has been going on during
the past six months in the way Of erecting new
buildings throughout the city. 1t will be seen That
but very few frame buildings are being put up,
while iron fronts are steadily on the increase,
brown stone and brick taxing the lead. Most OF
the buildings that have been and are being IN
1shed in the upper portion OF the city are what
are known as second class and tenement houses.
There are very few first class dwellings being
erected. The reason Is that they cannot COM
mand the rents. 1t Is claimed that there are over
IT, 600 builders, masons, brlcklayers, carpenters
and laborers out OF employment at the present
time. Since the LIST ol January about 500 build
ings nave been put ur, vast decrease compared
with last year-tully one-half less than the usual
number. The following shows the number OF
DuiidlnQ9 erected in eaCn month";

YACHTING IN IRELAND.

Under most favorable conditions, at least as far
as spectators were concerned, the regatta OF the
Royal Irish Yacht Club commenced to-day at
KingstoWn. The weather was delightfully."- warm
and DRY, the rays OF the sun just tempered by a
slightly clouded sky, but yachtsmen would have
preferred little more vino. The piers were
crowded with thousands OF spectators, and The
various yacht clubs entertained a large and dis
ungulshed company IN their houses.

Glen Cove on Wednesday afternoon next prepar-
atory to starting upon the annual cruise to the

reunions OF the year, promises TO be OF more than
ordinary interest. There seems TO prevail among
the owners the impression thar the 1cet will be
very fair representation OF the cluD'sstrength,
and SO all are doing their utmost 10 complete
pairs IN good season. A meeting OF the captains
Will be held on board the flagship Alarm at half
past seven O'Clock that evening. wnen the pro-
gramme Of ports to be visited, so lar as prac-
tcabie, viii be decided upon. Nothing OF definite
character, OF course can be said In reference to
the possible conclusions OF this conference, out
there is little doubt OF the squadron weighing
anchor early on Thursday and proceeding to
New London. Remaining there until the next
morning, start Will be made for Newport where,
contrary TO custom, the stay VIII be short, as the
squadron intend returning TO that beautiful har-
Dor. Saturday afternoon or evening Marthas

THE sHoECUTTERs ON STRIKE.

TROUBLE AHEAD-THE ST. CRIsPINs AROUSED
the shoecutters' strike in Burt's shoe manufac-
tory, No. 90 Thomas street, has created some ex-
element in the trade. According to the story
told to a HERALD reporter yesterday by one Of the
cutters, their regular wages have been 81 per day
or S24 per week. This sum has been paid re2u-
larry since the strike IN 1870 ana 1871. "A week
ago las; Monday the boss called us up TO him.
said the striker, sand told US that he had some
thing TO say which was not pleasant. The busl-
ness had not been good for some time and his
sales were $751; 900 less than the spring before ana
the nrm only got four per cent for their money.
He was therefore compelled to make a reduction
OF twelve and a half per cent on all hands, and
would ike TO have an answer the next day. We
told MIN cur lodge OF ST. Crispns met the next
evening and tRat We could not give him an
answer until Wednesday. He said that
would do. We held meeting among
ourselves and appointed o committee to
wait on MIR. Burt, who answered that he did not
intend to pay over s2l per week. We then agreed
upon sliding scale or wages as follows French
kid cutters, $24; leather cutters, S2I, ana trim
ming cutters, SIS. MIR. Burt thought That this ar.
rangement was fair, but said he would see us
again later In the day. In the afternoon he in
