ship md return. From the start, on Sat-
urday afternoon, the Genesta kept the
lead, and at 10.1l.15 Monday morning,
the Genesta rounded the Hook light-ship
on her return. The official time of the
race was AZ hours, IA minutes and SIS
seconds, and her actual time was AZ
hours, IA minutes and 40 seconds.
As the unlucky schooner yacht Daunt-
less dropped anchor of Tompkinsyille
within few hundred feet of the English
cutter Genesta, at noon Tuesday, Captain
Carter saluted her with gun. The log of
her run to and from the Five Fathoms
Lght-ship consists mostly of references
TO Gains and light breezes. A defective
bolt holding her foretopmast backstny
was pulled out by the strain of her big
jibtopsail ON Sunday morning, and the
foretoppast snapped OF just above tho
cap. She rounded Cape May Light ship
at 1890 O'Clock on Sunday night. She
passed the Sandy Hook Light-ship at 800
o'clock Tuesday morning, about II hours
behind the Genesta. She was within four
miles of it for six hours.
Many yachtsmen are glad that the cups
have been carried away by the Genesta.
Races over long ocean courses are not
popular here.
The Dauntless will be towed to Poillon's
ship yard, Brooklyn, and be prepared for
her annual winter cruise to the Mediter-
ranean. Mr.. Colt may try to bring the
Challenge cups back again by sailing
against the cutter over the course from
the Isle Of Wight TO Cherbourg.
The Genesta will sail for England under
jury rig on Saturday il the wind is favor
able. Mr.. William Gilchrist, the English
channel pilot, will take charge of the
cutter. Her crew slowed at the American
docks Tuesday her racing sails and
spars, except the mainmast, which she
will retain. They will be sent to England
on steamship.
Captain Carter said he was delighted
with the good treatment he had received
while here. He thought the cutter had
been fairly beaten by the Puritan. He
said he did not expect to come to America
again. ''If do come" he added, sit
will be in q yacht that will be built es
pecially to beat your sloops."

Of the Hon. Samuel j. Randalls tribu-
lations with the great horde of Philadel-

Times gives the following account. Mr..
Randall returned from Washington Mon

been so anxiously looked for since the
inauguration of President Cleveland. He
had hardly left the train before the
workers knew it and went trooping down
Chestnut street behind the ex-speaker,
When he got to his office, on Walnut
street above Sixth, he found small army
of anxious office-seekers, who had
anticipated his arrival. His Office is
on the third floor, at the extreme rear
of the building. The big hallway was
crowded with men who stood in line, wait
ing chance to get an audience with him.
William +. Harrity and Squire McMullen
wero early callers. Mr.. Randall does not
look as well as he did two weeks ago and
the few days he has been in Washington
seem to have told on him. With great
rapldity he scanned big pile of letters
that lay on his table, the accumulation of
three or four days, and then, after chat
with MIR. Harrity and the Squire, he said
IN pleasant voice, accompanied by a
kindly smile, to the crowd who stood at
the open door:
walk in gentlemen"
The men came in i'll twos and thrces.
Some presented cards, others letters,
while the majority simply announced
their names. One big man said as he
shook Mr.. Randall's hand:
II guess you don't remember me-"
"oh yes, do" said the ex-speaker.
You arc Mr.. - of the Thirteenth

Civil Service examination in the interior
department at Washington and take your
chances. The prospects are remote, to
be sure. I'll write and find out when the
next examination takes place and let you
Know" Then he explained the system of
the examination to the man, who bowed
himself out and another visitor was at
tended to. Mr.. Randall invariably re-
membered the man, knew his name and
placed him in his ward and seldom forgot
the sort of position the man was seeking.
Letters from some of the most prominent
men in town were given to him, recon-
mending the bearers. For over nh hour
men kept pouring into the ex.speaker's

Prohibition n aIairle.


 For the past six years the city ct Bangor has practically enjoyed free rum. There are over 100 places there where liquor is sold, and no attempt has been made to enforce the law. The law is q nullity. In Lewiston, Bath, Augusta and other cities no diff culty is experienced if one wants to wet his whistle. In the city of Port land. under Gen, Dow's own eyes, the liquor traffic aoutishes, and yet at the same time m no other city has the law for the past ten years been more faith fully enforced To illustrate how bard it is to break np this business in Portland, the Prohibitionists for five years pursued a rumseller in that city. They made him pay fines more than forty times, and then got hlm in jail. But this did not break up his husi- ness, for his brother took charge of it, when after protracted siege, he waa forced to retire, his brotaer-in-law took his place and carries on the busi. ness to-day.-Portland Dispatch
