BEFORE TIE BREEZE.
Race on the Lake last Wednesday be-
tween Chicago and Manitowoo
Yachts.

4 very interesting trial Of speed be-
tween Captain Farrow's yacht Anna
Louise Carey and the Manitowoc yacht
Sea Gull came off yesterday afternoon.
The course was from the foot of Van
Buren, street around the crib and return,
and bet of $50 depended on the result
The dimensions of the Carey are 23I feet
long and I feet beam, while the Sea
feet in breadth. There was n moderate
s)reese from south-southeast, and the
larger spread OF canvas borne by the
Carey gave her 2 decided advantage
throughout. The Carey had a crew Of
five, AMI was sailed by Captain Farrow,
while the Sea Gnll's crew numbered five.
At 3:55 p. IN. the boats got away, the
Sea Gull having very slight advantage
at the lead BY the time the boats had
reached the foot of Randolph street the
Carey had overhauled her opponent, and
Captain Farrow hoisted his square-sail
and took the lead, the boat bending al
most over under the heavy spread of sail.
Near the hospital boat the tug Black
Ball, towing the G. c.. Trowbridge,
steamed directly in front Of the Sea Gall
causing her to lose considerable way,
and at the end Of the pier the Carey led
by fully hundred yards.
The tug crossed again after leaving
her tow, and the Sea Gull also suffered
by getting the wind taken from her
while passing the Trowbridge. Round
ing the crii, the Carey led by quarter
OF a mile, making the turn at 4 81 p. M. !;
the Sea Gull being 4 minutes later.
Coming home the Carey increased her
lead, and came in winner at 5:16 D. M,
the Sea Gull following at 5:25 p. N.
While rounding the pier on the return
the Carey lost her topmast rigging,
cansing slight delay. Commodore Tom
Bradley acted as judge.-Hatey' Ocean.

THE DEAR ONE---ALBERT LEYKOM.

Give joy, give grief, give ease or pain,
Take life and friends away,
But let me find them all again
In that eternal day.
Father and mother, while you mourn,
lie unto you no more return,
But unto him you'll soon repair,
To taste Of pleasures sweet and rare.
Brothers and sisters, whilst you weep,
brother dear has gone to sleep.
Remember that he soon will rise
To meet his Saviour III the skies.
Soon the blooming morning shall come,
When he shall burst his earthly tomb,
With youthful beauties On his face,
And sing redeeming love and grace.
We make his grave in morning flowers,
The clouds shall weep in falling Showers
The lilly there shall hang its head
In mourning for the lovely dead.
\ FRIEND.

est he was offering was part OF the one
twenty fourth interest which the Cookies
did not control.
Now, how as to this Lake Superiorand
Puget Sound Land Company 1t was an
organization with the same stockholders
and the same officers as the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, and with
aboutl the same capital The object Of
il was to take not only all the land gram
ted the railroad company, but to gobble
up also all the choice lands not granted.
The railroad company was TO have every
odd numbered section of land along the
line of the road for forty miles wide;
twenty miles on each side of the track,
and if any Of these odd sections had been
pre- empted, they were to be made good
10 the railroad company out OF any otthe
States and Territories through which the
road passed. The land company had a
contract with the railroad company to
take all Of the lands granted to it at a
certain price if it wanted them, and in
addition to this It located all the town
sites along the line of the road and COB
bled up all the good land in the neigh.
borho ID Of these town sites. To accomp-
llsh this it had a small army of pre- emp
tors to whom it paid paid regular salary
and furnished outfits and subsistence,
This business of course required some
capital, and hence the stockholders of
the land company had to pay ass IS
ments. The manner in which these
hired pre- emptors operated was shown in
legal contests between the Land Com
pany andthe settlers in regard to the town
site of Bismarck
