OBJECTIONS TO SWIMMING IN NEWPORT AND
NARRAGANsErT BAYS.
The match between Captain Matthew Webb and
Captain Paul Boyton, on challenge from the
former is assured fact. Last night the two Great
swimmers met at Manhattan Beach to arrange for
the time and place OF the match. Captain Webb
was accompanied by his friend and trainer. Major
Hartley. The Engishman and American were very
cordial and each seemed to try to outtlo the other
in exhibition Of the spirit OF fairness Very little
business transacted, and the two gentlemen
parted with the matter still open to detail. To
a HERALD reporter Captain Boyton sad:- am
much puzzled what to do. feel gratifed and fiat
tered that Mr. Bennett should offer 81 900 stakes for
the match. 1t is the only individual offer have
received in America But the trouble is with the
currents. When was in England 1 was treated
well. and am about to swim match with an Eng
lishman who is comparative stranger here. With
the that exist in Narragansett Bay he would
be at my mercy. Brenton's lightshlp IN the centre
OF terrible current and one OF the greatest diticu
ties in the match would be that we would both be
swept past the buoys by the tide and the race would
be simply u farce. IL we go to Newport the only
way arrange TO fight for the Bennett stake to
place the at the nrst beach and swim around
two buoys mile and half apart. We would thus
be in constant sight of land. and would not be
troubled by any currents. As TO the distance,
will swim twenty-five miles to Webbs twenty.
That is definitely settled upon The distance be
arranged by sterling even, end viii go around the
buoys long enough to make up the extra five miles"
"Wil you prepare for the matchY
II hasn't much flesh to lose. but shall begin
practice Sheepshead Bay and will settle down to
nne work in training at Pleasure Lake. Long
Branch"
,aptain Webb said that he would not decide
where the match should take place until he had pro-
vionsiy examined the water at Newport. but he was
of the opinion that the match would come of there
for the Bennett stakes. He said he in excellent
trimming, but would immediately go into practice.
MIR. Boyton had treated him fairly and he was de-
lighted with Mr.. BENEFITS offer. The buoy plan
for the race at Newport about the best he cud
see.

SHOULD Perkins prove TO be
elected Governor of California, as
we think he will be by a large plu-
rality, We venture to think that he
will feel like sending his special
compliments to VIM. F. White and
Denis Kearney. The proper thing
for Perkins to do would be to invite
White and his Sand Lot Godfather
to IN entertainment gotten up in
their special honor. The Republi-
can candidate for Governor, identi-
Ned with the transportation inter-
ests Of this State as he is, really
owes everything to the generous
hearted Workingmen who have
laid the pipes for his election. In the
interest of human nature, in which
we confide, we hope that Perkins,
IL elected, will not prove migrate

upon him which ought to weigh

REvERsEs are incidents to which
the time honored Democracy are
accustomed. The party invariably
rises from defeat like giant re-
freshed by new wine. The indica-
lions which reach us point TO the
election Of Perkins and to sweeping
Republican Congressional victories
the latter undoubtedly part of the
plan of Denis Kearney. How long
men who have been proud to call
themselves Democrats will consent
to be used as catspaws by this man
to weaken the National Democracy
in Congress is curious inquiry.
We are inclined to think that
twelve O'Clock has struck for Kear-
ney, and that the bulk of his we'll
meaning followers already have
their eyes opened to his little
game. Meanwhile the Democracy
of the nation is girding its loins for
one of the most memorable contests
in our history, and men who are at
heart Democrats cannot long re.
frain from answering the trumpet
which calls them to their rightful
position in the Democratic line OF
battle.

suit. The lesson is one that will

TIE small vote which Glenn be

THE small vote which Glenn has
received In San Francisco is un-
doubtedly due to the blackguard
and assassin performance of Charles
De Young. 1t is rebuke to his
paper. At an early stage of the
past campaign We expressed
grave doubt as to whether Glenn
could survive the advocacy oil
Gorham and the Chronicle com
bIned. For our part, we never
thought he could. During the
progress of the carlpaign, We
thought it indicate to more than
hint bur personal impressions. The
Youngs, without any new atroc'
ties, were heavy handicap to any
arty. When they added, to their
.sneral disrepute, the role of pre-.
meditated assassination, the people
ofSan Francisco thought it neces-
ssry to administer an emphatic re.
buke to q phase of cowardly law
lsssness without precedent. Even
without such incident, Gorham aud
the Chronicle were too heavy a load
for any party of less than superbu-
man strength to "pack." Glenn
has run we'll in the rural regions of
California;: but. when he reached
the city in which lived, moved and
had their being, the most ostenta-
tious of his supporters, he simply
wilted.

In an article in yesterdays HER
AID in regard to the coming Fair
there were some things which re-
quire revision. For the moment
we forgot the existence of the Hor-
ticultural Pavilion here. The di-
rectors Of the two societies coop.
crate very cordially with each
other, and the exhibit of the pro-
ducts of the farm, dairy and vine
yard should very properly take
place In the Pavilion. The visitor
to Los Angeles, after amusing him
self at the Park during the day
could very properly drop into the
Pavilion during the evening. The
suggestion that purse should be
offered to the bands of the district
has already been anticipated by
the managers OF the Pavilion.
They have offered a purse of $3.50 to
the contestants. If this sum were
increased to $500 doubtless the
competition would be more extend
ed, and it would mbrace greater
scope Of country, even including
San Francisco. We cheerfully
modify our suggestion, in order tc
put it in keeping with the cordia
| raIaiions which ayist hat ypaou tht
