 fourth are black. No one who had been ab- sent from England for three or four years could fail to be astonished at the form and make of the dresses. Even to my accustomed eyes, they seem to have grown shorter and tighter within the last two months As the dancers>hy past in the whirl of the waltz, one or two figures stand out with startling dis tinctness. One in fiesh-colored jersey, cut low in front and at the back, would probably, Ii seen on the stage, suffer from the interven- tlon of the Lord chamberlain. Another is clad 1n what appears to be pink satin cor set, laced down the back. and skirt so tight that at every turn of the troiS-temps I ex- pected her knees to come through it. A dress-if that can be called a dress which looks alarmingly like an utter absence of dress-worn by well-developed lady, is of the color called nymphe emue which is so exact an imitation of pink flesh tints, that, combined with it's extra tightness and short ness 1t IS not matter for surprise that sew eral dancers on first catching sight of it, stopped short so suddenly as nearly to upset the couple immediately behind them The ensemble was none the less startling from the fact that the stockings were also of the color nymphe emue with no lines of fembroid- cry to distinguish them from the veritable cuticle which they so thinly covered and 50 faithfully initiated. Some others of the dresses proved how becoming the present style may be when not carried to an extreme. A fair girl wore a white dress with stom- acher of real white roses. Her hair was not so tightly arranged as is usual, and dropped loosely at the back. with few rosebuds ap- parently entangled in it. A fringe of begonia leaves and forget-me-nots edged a dress of pale sea- green. One lady, who did not dance, wore a black f'coat-of-mail' over a long, trailing dress of black velvet, with lovely gloire de Dijon roses scattered over it in punches of two and three. sto the dresses, the sleeveless, the tightly y-molded, with their fesh-colored scantiness, their draggings-in, and tyings back-whither are they tending?

 The extraordinary career of the cutter yacht Vanduara promises to bring about a revolution in English yacht building Since this clipper made her first appearance on tine Thames at the beginning of the present sea- son her success has been so unprecedented that one must go back to the time of the Se- cret to find anything like parallel. Tc re- count the victories she has achieved in less than two months would be an endless labor; suffice it to say that she has met the feetest yachts in England including the Latonn the Florinda, the famous Formosa and the Cue koo, in all sorts of waters, both narrow and wide, and that she has won Il out of 13 of these races. It was imagined that she would not do well iD strong wind with heavy sea, but she disposed of that theory few days ago by handsomely beating the Latona under these very circumstances in race from Ostend to Dover without receiving any time allowance for the much larger tonnage of her antagonist. This success she followed up by fairly running away with the Duke of Connaught's Cup ill race from Denver to Cowes Roads, distance of 110 miles, against a strong head wind most of the way. The other competitors were the Latona and MT Mulholand's flying schooner, the Egeria, but the Vanduara came m some eleven or twelve miles ahead, ,SSchiefy through making better weather in the nasty chopping sea. What IS the secret or tDlS amazing bucceSSf That re- mains unexplained, but we should be inclined to surmise that the material of which the Vanduara is composed has good deal to do with it. She Is built of steel, the first time, we believe, that the metal has been employed for the hull of racing yacht. Long ago Lord Alfred Paget brought out 25-ton cut ter, called the Belvedere, which was built of iron, and did pretty well, and some years af- terwards the famous Mosquito was construct ed, if we remember rightly of the same ma terial. But after struggle wood once more regained the supremacy, and of wood have all our more celebrated racing yachts been built since that date. It is possible, of course, that the success of the Vanduara may be due to some special merit in her lines of construc- tion and not to the material of which she is composed. Yachtsmen will remember how few years ago the hideous Jullanar, with her protruding prov and raking stern-post, as- tonished the world by her cleverness ill turn ing to windward, the very point in which the Vanduara chiefly excels. Perhaps, therefore, the lines of the latter may be partly adapted from those of the ugly yawl, which, again, were traced on those of the Bombay patti mars Be the explanation what it may, Eng land evidently now possesses yacht second to none of her size in the world.

HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light
 hills Practice in New Haven. Statement of NEr. T. M. Cox,
 No. S5 St. John Street,
 New Haven.
 Dr. LighthilI takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the cOnsid- eratiOn of those interested the fol- lowing statement of Mir. T. M. Cox. an old and prominent resident of New Haven.
A Happy Experience.

(From the Journal and Courier July 1O) We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from MT. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and & gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedIy accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. LighthilIs ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthi1 and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swa1- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing it to eonsid erable extent, and as it kept constantly in- creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthills pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care and happily did SO. Dr. Light p1aint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to It's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, 50 that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.

The screen law,' enacted in Massachu- setts in the interests of temperance, seems to have worked we'll It provides that the police commissioners may require saloons, during certain hours, not to have screens within their doors and windows in order to conceal patrons at the bar; and the design of the plan is to increase the restraints of public espionage and opinion upon both dealers and drinkers. At a recent meeting Alderman Chamberlain of Boston stated that in that city the liquor traffic had been reduced fifty per cent. in two years by this law. Men who have reformed and men who are not yet ha- bituated to strong drink are afraid of being seen in such places and Sunday sales, espe- cially to minors, are reduced by the danger of detection to the dealer. Other testimony of the same character was given by experi- enced person.
