Captain Carter, of the Genesta, said 1t was an
accident and nobody is TO blame put my helm
hard up as soon as saw what was likely 10 happen
but IL was too late. 1t was worth a trip
over here if only to see the Brooklyn Bridge
and the great gathering that came out to see the
race on Monday. never saw such gathering at
a yacht race in my life"
1t seems that when the Genesta was seen bearing
down on the Puritan the people on board the
American yacht thought they were to be run down
and Mr.. Forbes threw up his hands and
exclaimed: oh! don't do that" immediately

as delighted with the conduct of Sir Richard SUIT

deal with there would have been quite another
story. That eminent sea lawyer gave EngIsh
yacbtsmen an unenviable reputation on this side
of the water by his bubbles, protests and reckless
race for the cup with the Cambria and Liyonla.

The Inocuistiou OF Cattle.

WILMINGTON, DEL, February 10.
State Veterinarian Rowland reports that
the incubation Of cattle as safeguard
against pleuro-pneumonia has thus far
proved encouragingly successful. Fifty
cows, which were inoculated two weeks
after exposure to the infection, passed
in few days and with safety through
a mild type Of the disease, and are now
regarded as in excellent condition.
DIR. Rowland thinks that under more lib
eral legislation the disease could be pre-
vented from extending, but the Legisla-
ture manifests no disposition to increase
the appropriation of $500 for this pur-
pose, and the Governor is not disposed
to take upon himself the responsibility
of exceeding this sum, though there is
legal opinion that he has the authority
to do so. There are now six diaries
under quarantine in this city.

. New YoRK, February 1.-THE
same general features that have chsrac-
terized the opening on the Stock Tx
change for several days past were
prominent this morning. More or less
doubt AZ to the course prices were to
take led to fractional decline, but this
was soon checked and sharp rally fol-
lowed, and previous losses were not only
recovered, but in some cases the highest
prices that have been reached in the
present upward movement were re-
corded. This was especially true Of
New York Central, which sold higher
than yesterday. At III o'clock, how
ever, the history Of the past few days
was not repeated. At first there was a re-
action Of I to II on active business,
the heaviest declines among the active
stocks being New York Central, West
ern Union, and Union Pacific but after
midday this was succeeded by COM
parative dullness and only moderate
fluctuations in values with the tendency,
however, downward, especially during
the last half hour. None Of the active
stocks, except Manhattan Consolidated.
closed more than l to | above the low
est figures of the final sales, and the
lowest prices are the same in many
cases, nevertheless, with the excep-
ton Of Western Union and Union
Pacific, which were not less among the
active stocks and in no case over |.
Union Pacific closed II lower. Sales,

CoaI-Mincs shutting Down.


CHICAGO, February l2.-All the

Ohio are reported to have shut down.
owing to the failure of the railroads to
handle the stock. The mines owned
by the Wilmington Coal Association
were closed Tuesday, with the ex-
ception of one shaft. The Association
has sufficient stock on hand here to last
until tonight, and has 1000 tons on
the tracks between the mines and Chi
cago. They have not received bushel
of coal since Saturday, and the rail
roads can give no definite information
as to when the embargo will be raised.
The condition of the Chicago agencies
of the Indiana and Ohio companies is
no better. All have stock on the way,
but it is about as available as if was
