ANOTHER BREEZE.

At1p. N. there was breeze coming up
from the south, southwest. The yachts
felt it. They were both on the port tack.
The Genesta kept nearly two miles asteru
Of the Puritan. The race to-day is over
what is called the inside course Of the New
York Yacht Club. The course is down
through the narows, acrosst the lower bay,
around buoy No. 10 on the southwest spit,
leaving that buoy on the port hand thence
10 the southwark Of buoy No. 81, and to
the northward Of buoy No. . on the point
Of the hook, out around the Sandy Hook
lightship and home over the same course,
finishing at buoy No. 15, Just outside the
Narrows.
At2P. N. the Genesta, after rounding
the spit, sent up her balloon top-sail and
rapidly reduced the distance between her
self and the Puritan. The latter also sent
up her balloon top-sail. The racers are
only half mile apart now. The Puritan
passed the observatory opposite Sandy
Hook buoy No. 81 at 1882, under cloud
Of canvass. An iron steamboat interferes
somewhat with the winds Of the Genesta.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Delegates to the Republican Conven-

Gossip Concerning the Head of the
Ticket.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Wreck a
Delegates Train.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 21.-The town is
swarming with delegates to the Republican
State convention which assemblies tomorrow
morning. At II o'clock tonight the indica-
tions are that Cornelius N. Bliss and Levi P.
Morton have taken the lead in the guberna-
torial race, with eX-Gov. Cornell good third.
1t is very apparent, however, that Cornell
blocks the way to reaching an amicable ar
rangement, and unless he can be gotten rid
of by the friends of the other two gentlemen
they will have hard work in carrying out
their wishes. 1t is understood that Cornell
holds sufficient number of votes in the New
York delegation to embarrass Bliss and Nor
ton, and it is probable this may neeessitate
the naming of DreXel or a new man.

friends and believes his nomination for the
first place is certain.

CHASED BY A MOB.
Narrow Escape of a Gardiner consta-
BILE from Violent Usage.

A Gardiner special to the Kennebec Jour
nal SAYS: Jedediah Thomas, special consta-
BILE for the enforcement of the liquor law,
had a narrow escape from violent usage at
the hands of an infuriated mob Saturday
evening. In the afternoon Mr.. Thomas
swOre out warrant to search the premises
of John Dumphy, Gardiner saloon keeper.
Thomas McGrath, a clerk for Mr.. Dumphy,
occupies room directly above the store. He
has been seriously i'll for some time, and late
Saturday afternoon the Catholic priest was
summoned, it being thought that Mr.. Nc
Grath was dying. Mr.. Thomas, accompanied
by two officers, proceeded to the room in
which McGrath lay i'll, and without knocking
for admittance, stove down the door and
gained entrance, greatly frightening the sick
man. Father Mccarthy told him TO leave
the room which he refused to do. The priest
then called on the police, and City Marshal
Siphers compelled him to leave the premises.
Meantime a small crowd had collected at the
foot of the stairs. They got wind Of the af-
fair, and as Mr.. Thomas came down stairs
they started a-hissing, h0oting and grOan-
ing. Mr.. Thomas started up street, the
crowd following and increasing every min
ute, until it numbered several hundred men.
The noise was deafenlng, and 1t seemed as
if nothing could prevent personal violence
being done the offender In the meanwhile
one of the police officers sounded his whistle
and the whole force was collected. They did
their best to quell the disturbance, but with
out any perceptible effect. When Mr. Thorn
as was opposite Dana's barber shop he en-
tered, but Mr.. Dana, seeing what was going
on, told him he could not have him there,
and he went into the street again and started
for home, guarded as well as possible by the
police. During this time the crowd had be-
come so dense that there was no getting
through it, and all who met it were Oblged
to turn and join it, Demonstrations now
became more violent, and several stones
were thrown one striking a man in the
chest and knocking him down. The police
saw something must be done at once, and
they formed line across the street at ''grist
mill corner" directly under the electric
light, where any offender could be recog-
nized. All of the officers were left here to
hold the crowd in check, except what was
needed as an escort to Mr.. Thomas, who inn
mediately hurried home. After he was gone
the mob became more quiet and gradually
dispersed. The affair has caused considera-
BILE excitement.

Bosworth Posts Visit to Cambridge.

To the Editor Qfthe Press:
VIM. H. Smart Post of Cambridgeport
could not have been more generous and
hospitable in the entertainment Of its recent
guests, had the latter been a family of
princes, instead of the comrades of Bosworth
Post of Portland. From the moment when
the ''boys" disembarked from the steamer
fremont at India Wharf, Boston, in the
gray dawn of last Thursday morning, until
they re-embsrked on the steamer at the
same place by moonlight Friday evening the
excursion was a continued ovation and
round of pleasure fer Bosworth Post.
The committee of Smart Post had so plan
ned the two days entertainment as to consist
of an unbrOken series of delightful surprises,
each one being more surprising than its pre-
decessor, and each succeeding surprise
affording degree more enjoyment to the APP
preciative comrades of the visiting post.
Each member of BOswOrth Post carried
with him supply of that generally needful
article on an excursion, money. but it was
just as useless for any purpose for which it
was devised in the presence of the comrades
OF Smart Post as the paper on which l am
writing There seemed to bea preconcerted
understanding between hotel keepers, livery
men, tradesmen, etc, of Cambridgeport and
the members of its Grand Army Post to re-
gard all money offered by the Bosworth boys
as unfit for circulation in that city. As a
comrade was heard to remark on the cars,
returning from Cambridgeport to Boston,
Il can't see what more Smart Post could
have done for u.s. unless they had presented
us each with a white elephant, or a gold
watch and chain" Spy Pond Grove where
the boys enjoyed the first day of the exeur-
sion, is one of the most beautiful localities
in the suburbs of Boston, and the pond itself
is very attractive sheet of water No
doubt it was the ultra prohibition sentiments
entertained by the members of BoswOrth
Post that led a majority of those who visited
the pond to be so enthusiastic in praise of
the flavor of its waters, even when compared
with that of their own beloved Sebago.
