George sun running in magnificent form,
his long, easy action being in marked
contrast to the shorter, jerky style of the
professional champion. George did the
half. mile in minutes 2 seconds, leading
by couple of yards, the pace so FAR
being wonderfully fast for the heavy
track and in the cold, chilly, rain and
wind. At the conclusion OF the second
lap George was still in front, looking
rather distressed, but his stride was very
little shorter than at the commencement
of the race. Cummings, on the other
hand, showed plainly the severity of the
pace, and if anything, was striding
shorter than before. He still, however,
hung ON to Georges shoulder, and when
at the three-quarter mile mark, passed by
George in minutes seconds, eqpaling
anything he has yet done in the public.
The crucial point of the race was reached.
George now spurted for the first time,
and Cummings gamely answered the
effort. For nearly 100 yards the profess
sionnl champion managed to hold his
position, some two yards behind the
| leader, but the effort and the tremendous
pace he had been brought along told lis
inevitable tale. Just below the 300 yards
mark George began to draw away, and
Cummings, when six yards in the rear
almost stopped, clean run out. George
spurted around the top stretch ut his bes
pnce, and coming into the straight LOOKED
over his shoulder once or twice Mt hi
opponent, who was simply trotting som
20 Yards behind. George finished yer
fast, and finally broke the tape an eas
! winner by 50 yards in minutes 20 l.
seconds official time, but very little dis
, tressed, Cummings passing the post som
I seven seconds later. The excitement G
the finish was tremendous, and the VIII
ner was much cheered.

The Priscilla.

New YORK IIeraId.
Between the Puritan and the Priscilla
there is little difference. The Boston
yacht was lucky in combining with her
beautiful model certain advantages of rig
and sail which caused her to beat the
Priscilla. There are not wanting yacht
ing experts of skill and judgment who
think that the Priscilla will eventually
show far greater speed as a racer than she
has hitherto displayed, and if Lieutenant
HEM of the Galatea, brings his cuttel
over next season it is within the range Of
possibility that he may have to try con
illusions with the representative "singlC

De voe,s Theory OF me Formation
of Clouds

Writing to the New York sun. A. =.
DeYoe, the New Jersey meteorologist
says s'After carefully studying the Tor
nation of clouds and the causes which
produce rain, have arrived at the con-
clusion that there is no such thing as
rain cloud that there is no such thing as
drop of water descending from cloud
In the form of a drop of water but that
all rain when il descends from cloud,
yacntes its position in that cloud either as
frozen sleet or snow. When we seethe
sixy obscured by clouds, and it does not
rain or snow then, there is warm cur
rent of mir Just above the clouds, and the
particles of moisture are not frozen and
| drift onward. The old theory that il
raips when warm current Of air comes
K in contact with cold current of dir,
the cold current not being able to
| hold the same amount of moisture
in suspension, is all nonsense.
The moisture is simply condensed
| into yapor, and forms into cloud, and
the cloud thus formed moves on until the
little particles of moisture in tho upper
edge Of tho cloud becomes frozen sleet.
Then ID descends towIrtl the earth, pass
ing right through the body OF moisture,
increasing in bulk proportionetely TO the
thickness of the cloud which 1t passes
through. If there be no warm current
between the earth and the cloud then \
will reach us as sleet or snow. This II
why there is always snow ON the tops o.
high mountains. In the fall of the yea
we see snow gathering on the tops of higl
. hills willie it is laining in the Wiley, be
cause the air melts it.
All snowflakes are of only two origina
forms, namely, round balls and straigh
! bars. Last winter l caught some laTg
snowhakes on black cloth and dissecte'
them, and l found that they were com
+ posed of from 70 to 80 separate litti
particles Of sleet, froze9 white. md I'd -

There is no reason, therefore, why there
should be any marked difference between
the northern and southern people. IL is
pretty safe to say that there is not
greater difference between the southern
people and the people of the New Eng
land and the Middle Atlantic states than
there is between the people of those
states and the people of the west. All
those who left New England, even before
the war, to seek homes elsewhere didn't
90 to the west. A very great many OF
them came south. They found places in
the professions, in business, and on the
plantations. They became lending men
in many instances, and some of them are
still among the living. The descendants
of these immigrants from the northern
states are to-day influential in shaping
public sentiment in this section. Since
The war the immigration from the north
has been quite large
The people, therefore, between whom
| Messrs Sherman, Foraker and others are
trying TO excite sensational feeling, are
not so different MS northenurs have been
led to believe. They are, to great eX-
tent, the same people, having about the
same characteristics. The southern
people think they know how to manage
their own affairs about MS well MS the
northern people know how to manage
theirs. and they are likely to pursue thu
course they think best for themselves
Notwithstanding the ISLANDERS of Sherman
Foraker and other Republican orators,

London Standard, September lsI
One of the most important pedestrian
contests ever decided in this country took
place yesterday afternoon at Lille Bridge,
West Brompton, between the ex-amateur
long-distance champion, W. g. George
and William Cummings Of Paisley, The
best professional runner Of the day from
one to ten miles. The pair signed arti-
Giles TO run three matches, at one, four,
and ten miles, each being for stake OF
.e20O. The one mile, perhaps the most
interesting Of the series, came OF yester-
day, in the presence of the largest gath
ering of spectators ever seen at protes-
sional foot-race in the metropolis, the
numbers being estimated at from i2,ooo
to $4,000.
Just before the men appeared ON the
| path squat of wind and rnin from the
| southeast came up over the ground, wmch
| not only spoiled all chance of record,
but made the path anything but firm
going. George was the first to leave the
pavilion, followed Immediately BY Gum,
mings. Both looked in wonderfully good
condition. but the ex amateur was
decidedly the more muscular and power
full of the two. The men tossed for the
inside berth, which George won, and
about GA p. m. the pistol was fired anc
the race began. George at once dashed
off with long easy stride, leading Cum
mings by couple of yards. Going b,
the pavilion for the first time, Cumming
was running with much shorter strid'
than his opponent, but apparently, hold
ing his own rather easily just behin'
Georges left shoulder. The condition
of affairs remained unchanged alonl

of the ground, George passing tn

The 4:30 p. m. Stamford special Saturday
on the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad consisting of four passenger coaches
and baggage car, and well filed with ladies
and children on their home from New York,
came to halt SO suddenly at Eighteenth
street, in the tunnel, as to startle the passen-
gers. The connecting rod on the engine had
broken, owing, no doubt, to the cold, frosty
air. A delay of three-quarters of an hour
followed the mishap while the driving wheels
were being disconnected. Then train fol-
lowing pushed the disabled Stamford special
to siding at Mott Haven, where its passen-
gers were transferred to the 500 Norwalk
local. The accident is one that is liable to
occur at any time during frosty weather.
Several trains were delayed from fifteen min
