ing him no rest by night or day.
They discovered sometime ago that
DR.. Leonard used to take ale and toast
in the morning for dyspepsia, and for
this they are belaboring him Further
more the Republicans in the Methodist
church of which Dr. Leonard is n di-
vine have ente-ed the fray against him.

THE QUEENS .Crp.

Not only the yacht-loving people of
this country, but every one of us, are
interested in the forthcoming contest
between the Puritan and the Genesln,
the latter of which was sent over here
10 take back, if possible, the Queen
cup. In New York the interest is in
tense and the relative merit of the two
boats is one of the principal topics of
conversation.
The chances are, apparently, very
good for the Puritan. While the
United States is not, like England, Il
strictly maritime nation, yet we have
frequently shown that Americans may
excel on the seas as they do on the
land. Only the other day in the Medi-
terranean crew of an American man
of-war won in an international boat
race; and old sailors, who have seen
both the Puritan and Genesta at work,
say that the Queens cup is going to
stay ON this side of the Atlantic,
The Puritan and the Gcnesta are
very nearly the same size. The former
is 93 feet long over all and her draught
is 8 feet, while the latter is "a feet long
and her draught is feet nine inches
The sails Of the Puritan are the larger
and the strain upon her rigging is very
great. That seems to be the only thing
feared in the coming race. She has
been under sail but month and yet
her running gear is as much worn as
would be. that Of an ordinary yacht
after seasons cruising. 1t is appre-
hended that on the day Of the race
something may give way, but her own
ers viii take every precaution, and un-
less there is an unusually high wind
and heavy sea all will go well.
One of the interesting features of the
race will be the loosing of carrier
pigeons from the yachts at regular in
ieryals A bit Of manifold paper tied
TO the middle tail feather of each bird
let loose will tell which yacht leads.
The progress of the race can therefore
be watched in New York city about a,
