THE RACE FOR THE AMERICA CUP
Dates and Rules Fixed by In Me-
York Yacht Club Committee.

Dates ans Rules Fixed by the New
York Yacht Club committee
The committee appointed by the New
York Yacht Club to make arrange
ments for the ocean races for the
America cup with the English yachts
Genesta and Galatea has reported.
They propose three races with the
Genesta under the rules of the New
York Yacht Club. If the New York
Yacht Club wins the races, it will, at.
ter a reasonable lapse of time, sail
three races with the Galatea, under the
same rules, including the method of
measurement for time allowance. The
first of the races will be over the regu-
lar course of the club, the second over
a triangular ocean course, and the third
twenty miles to windward and back,
from the point of Sandy Hook or from
the Sandy Hook Lightship, the first
race to occur OIL OF about Sept. l. The
other details of the race will be settled
after the arrival of the challenged
yachts.
The only serious difference was in
regard to the time allowance. This
matter was referred to Geo. l.. Schuy-
Ter, the only surviving donor of the
cup, and he declared in favor of the
time allowance rule of the club. The
committee consists of Philip SCHUYLER,
j. Frederic Tams, Chas. H. Slebbins,
Jules. A. Montant, Joseph r. Busk
and G.. A. Ninton.
The trial races tor the selection of a
yacht to represent the club will occur
between the last Wednesday in June
and the first in July. The club will
go to Glen Cove on a cruise Oh July 90.

THE NEW MINISTER TO ITALY.

John b. Stallo of Ohio, who was ap-
pointed minister to Italy, is one of the
leading lawyers OF Cincinnati. He is
a German by birth, and is one of the
most vigorous of the German free
thinkers in the west. He was a strong
antl-slavery man, and left the demo-
cratic party in 1854 on that issue. In
1872 he drifted back into the demo-
cratic party, and has since been one of
the leading democrats of Ohio. He
has not been known as an active poll
clan, his work for the party being
principally speechmaklng during cam
palgns. Except on the slavery aues-
ton his sympathies have always been
with the democratic party. He is about
sixty. years of age, and served on the
bench in Ohio for a number of wears.

A case of mixing the babies up

cradle together. When they were
taken up soon after neither mother
knew her own child, and to dav thew

The new wonder Of tbs world, which
has now probably arrived 10 New York,
is the largest statue ever constructed.
The famous Colossus of Rhodes, about
which there is some doubt whether it
ever existed, was q baby in comparison
with this giant of modern times. To
say that it is 152 feet from the crown of
its bead to the sole of it's foot conveys
to thinking person. If familiar With
measures and distances, an idea of Its
immensely. But only when We come to
speak of the details does the general
reader get comprehensive view of the
gigantic figure. Forty men can easily
stand within tho head, which measures
about eighteen feet III diameter. From
the apper lip horizontally out froH the
nose the distance is two feet. and men
can easily pass III and out of the nostrils.
Its arms, frem she wrist to the armpit,
are fully forty feet; and if 1t was en-
dowed with life, and felt so disposed, it
ooHld pick up the Qlisen of the Pacific
as man would an infant. Inside OF
the right arm spiral stairway is con
ssrueted to enable workmsn to ascend
to the extended hand. which holds the
electric light. The stai1e weighs 444, COO
pouuds, and, when placed in position,
will tower 800 feet above Underwater.
This imposing statue higher than the
enormous towers of the great B,oJklyu
Bridge or the sseeple Of Trinity Church,
9hIoh is the loftiest in the CITY of New
York, (higher, in fact, than any of the
colossal statue. of antiquity by its rare
artistic proportions all we'll as by its
stupendous Dimensions, will add an.
other to the wonders eff the world.
The committee In charge of the base
and pedestal for the reception of this
great work are in want of funds for
ITS completion, and have prepared a
miniature statuette, AN exact counter
part of the original, six inches in hight,
the figure being made of brO1z-, the
pedestal of nickel silver, WHOM they
are now delivering throughout the
United States to subscribers for the
small sum Of 81 each. Aside from its
being lasting souvenir Of this CO.
lossal statue, il will ornament our
homes and bear testimony that We
have contributed to she completion of
one of the grandest works OF modern
times. All remittancea should be adj
