Mr.. Green has not been an apt pupil Of his
patron in politics. Gov. Tilden would have
secured the nomination with half the number
of blind men, and he never would have blum
dered at all with contractors. the painful
conclusion is forced upon us that Mr.. Green is
not great organizer.

In Pampelups and Sebastian were reported, and
on Sept. 4 II was announced that the Spanish
Government had given notice that armed guards
would be furnished to passenger trains on ap-
plication Of the railway companies. Since then
nothing had been heard In regard to the symp-
toms Of disturbance in that quart or until last
night, when a Reuter- telegram stated that a
rumor had reached Bourgmadams from Puy-
cerds that pronuncismsnto had been made IL

to-day contradioted this report. But letters
from Spain represent that great dissatisfaction

be put In foroe this month. These measures
include military oonscriptioD, the collection OF

The yachts of College Point and vicinity

Donneliy's Boulevard Hotel to the buoy on
southeast end Of Rikers Island to the Town buoy
OF City Island, and return over same course. This
gave the yacbtsmen all kinds OF wind, and
Afforded good chance to test their seamanship.
The judges we're f. Platt Stratton, W. u. Sim

ed the line as follows Quits, 1880; L. u. Prince,
24:30; Lizzie, 2;4545; Lizzie Bell, 2;5:45. There
was a nice breeze from about south, and the tide
had Just turned food. On the stretch UP TO the
Riker's Island buoy the Prince sustained some
damage to her jib and lowered It for reoairs.
She had gained on the Quits but this gave the
latter the advantage, and she slipped around
the buoy nrst at 2;ll:42: the Prince following at
2:12s0; Lizzie. 2:l4:l1; Lizzie Bell, e;l711. At

While the Quits after hauling onla wind nude q

made short leg in that direction, and then
made a long board on tue starboard tack to the
