TIE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.

Owing to the lateness of the start of the
initial race yesterday from Sandy Hook, be-
tween the Genesta and the Puritan, and to
the lack of wind afterwards, the yachts sue.
ceeded in making only half the course, or
twenty miles. By seven o'clock the wharves
along South and West streets were alive
with people. The cars were packed to their
utmost capacity. Crowd after crowd pour
ed on TO tho wharves, each person being
eager to get scat on board the steamers, in
order to get good view of the race. Steam
boats were hurrying towards the Narrows.
Tugs of all kinds and descriptions, some
towing schooners, were making the scene
lively Steam launches and yachts all hur-
ried on, bent OH one object. By nine O'Clock
nothing but steamboats, and excursion par
ties were to be seen. The mammoth steam
with $500 passengers, led the way to the
Narrows. Along the New Jersey coast
there was one mass of people, Every way
one turned nothing but people met the gaze.
Anything that could float and support Il
man was on the water. Coney Island was
thronged with people eager to witness the
contest
The Puritan slipped across the starting line
at 1876, followed by the Genesta at 1877. At
the moment the Genesta crossed the line the
Puritan came about on the starboard tack:
with Genesta a hundred yards on her lee
beam. The course was right "in the winds
eye," southeast. Followed by the immense
flotilla of pleasure craft, the two contestants
headed due east. Finding that he could
neither pass the Puritan nor "outpoint" him
Captain Carter, after twenty three minutes,
put the Genesta ABOUT, to cross the Puritan's
stem, but Captain Crocker put his helm
down at once, bringing the Puritan round
forty seconds later. Genesta was full OF
tricks, for round she came again in less than
a minute, followed by Puritan again. Both
yachts were carrying exactly the same can
vas Instead ofgainingby the little Skin
mish which he inaugurated, Captain Garter
had lost and the Puritan had gained a de.
cded advantage At 1907 the Puritan be-
gan to rapidly open q gap between herself
and the Genesta, and when they next tack
ed she was fully an eighth Of Il mile ahead.
At 5:11 both tackled again, and now Genesta
was over mile on Puritan's lee quarter.
At $50 the wind was growing lighter. aud
the yachts then being two miles to leeward
of the stake boat it was evident that the
race could not be sailed within the required
seven hours, SO tho regatta committee or
dered it postponed until to-day. The &c.
nesta and Puritan were then towcd back.
The result Of the contest is thought by ex.
perienced yachtsmen to be convincing proof
that Puritan can beat the Genesta under any
conditions. To sum up the days event ina
sentence, the Puritan fairly outsailed her
rival in working to the windward beat her
on her own points, and in less than twenty
miles had gained OH the Genesta nearly two
miles,

Mysterious Deaths.

URBANA, Ills, Sept. S.-There is much
excitement at st. Joseph, this county, over
three mysterious deaths which have occur
red within short time in one family. Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram Peabody were prominent
and honored residents Miss Belle Hasty,
daughter Of Robert Hasty, and a young
woman of fine character and pleasant man
ners, lived with the Peabody family and
was said to be engaged to young Silas Pea
body. Young Peabody's parents, particu-
larly his mother, were opposed to his mar
riage, owing to Miss Hasty's poor health.
On August ,, Mrs. Peabody died very sud-
denly, of what appeared to be neuralgia
of the stomach. On August17, Mr.. Peabody
died with the same symptoms. On Septem.
Der 1st, Miss Hasty and young Silas Pea.
body were taken with the same symptoms
and the young lady died, while the young
man has recovered. Since that time suspi-
cion has been awakened by the alleged dis.
coycry OF package of rat poison pinned to
an undergarment which Miss Hasty had
laid Off just before her death, that the latter
had poisoned Mr.. and Mrs. Peabody with
the hope of marrying the son, and then
concluded to kill him and herself On Sun
day, a clergyman refused to preach her
funeral sermon.

The Caroline Islands Affair.

PARIS, Sept. S.-A majority of the news
papers in this city expect that the strong
anti, Germany feeling provoked throughout
Spain by the Carolines affair will result in
revolution in that country, as the people
manifest hostile feeling towards King
Alfonso and his Ministry for their actions
respecting the German occupation of Yap.
Ex.Queen Isabella, of Spain, in an inter-
view expressed herself as very hopeful of
an amicable settlement of the difficulty be-
tween Spain and Germany.
PARIS, Sept. S.-The Figaro and the Gau-
lois state that the commander of the Ger
man gunboat who recently occupied zap
has been ordered by his government to evac.
uate it. The settlement of the difficulty,
both newspapers say, is due to Emperor
William having taken the initiative step
towards bringing about peaceful solution
of the affair.

as those previously made, and the number
of yachts, steamboats,, &c., at and near the

torn. The judges boat soon after took the
Genesta in tow and brought her back to the
Hook. The Puritan subsequently returned
under single-reefed mainsail. The race is
