The Contest for the Cup.

The cup so CALAMITY won by the America at
Cowes is to remain on this side of the Atlantic
until another yachting season at least. 1t may
now be fairly doubted whether the English
yacht fleet of to-day can produce craft able to
wrest from the Puritan her well earned laures.
but British yachtsmen are not deficient in pluck
or money and before long they will have another
try for the coveted trophy. Aside from the
International aspect of the races, and the spec
ial prize contended for, they were of interest
in many respects. The performances of the
Puritan and Genesta were just contrary to
what was expected of them. The American
centre-board sloop out-pointed and out-footed
the British cutter and made better weather in
rough water-beating her fairly in smooth
water and light winds as well as in stiff
breeze and lnmpy sea, while the Genesta beat
the Puritan with the wind free, when the sloon
would naturally be expected to run away from
her deep, narrow, and heavily ballasted oppon-
ent. 1t is now generally admitted that the
Puritan is the best all round boat of the Two
although she won the last race by so narrow q
margin that in certain contingencies she might
have had to low er her colors TO the foreigner
1t is evident, too, that had not the Puritan and
Priscilla been built - the latter we believe
would have defended the cup successfully
the America cup would now adorn the cabin
of the Genesta Friday, in the New York
Yacht Club races, over triangular course Of
81 miles, the Genesta was an easy winner, out
sailing all her own class and the schooners as
we'll and taking the Douglass cup Monday
she took the Brenton's Reef Challenge Cup. her
only contestant being the crack schooner
Dauntless, which the cutter soon dropped
astern
The result of the races for the America cup
simply illustrates, as has often been illustrated
before, that the Yankee nation, as it is known
abroad, is hard to beat. Our people. despite
their own harsh criticisms on themselves are
always equal to emergencies. our navy is the
laughing stock of the press, but we improvised
navy during the civil war that answered all
purposes, and we can do so again whenever it
becomes necessary. We were content with our
yacht fleet until there was demand for some
thing better, and then two sloops We're promptly
produced that almost before their paint was
dry or their sails stretched carried their colors
to the front against the crack craft of all class
es. If to boast of this is bunkum we think It
permissible under the circumstances.

MISSIONARY MEETING. One of the most interes l.
| ing missionary meetings held in this city was
held at the Baptist Church on SUNDAY evening. The
church full to its utmost capacity. The speaker
was Miss Barrows, of Ellsworth, who has been a
missionary teacher in Birmah for thirteen years.
and is at home for two years to recuperate.
She is accompanied by native Birmese girl who
has been educated and is now a teacher with Miss
Barrows. Mr.. TUFTS opened the meeting and stated
that previous to 1893 there was no DIRK done in
foreign lands In that year William Carey, of Eng
land conceived the idea of going abroad to convert
the heather, and at meeting of clergymen stated
his ideas. DIR. Riley, moderator of the meeting in
reply to Carey, said: "Sit down young man. When
the Lord wants to convert the heather He will do it
without your help or mine" The young man still
advocated his ideas and finally went India, and
labored for seven years before he made a single
convert This was the beginning of the missionary
movement which now numbers Its converts almost
in the Millions Miss Barrows gave an interesting
| account of her voyage home. She is stationed at
Maulman, where she has charge of a school of 200
boys so of whom she boards and has under her sole
charge. She described Birmah, its climate, It's
people, habits and customs In most CRATIC man
ner. The people are intelligent and are anxious
civilization and Christianity. In her school Miss
Barrows teaches English four hours day and Bir-
mese one hour. The Bible is studied one hour and
each pupil commits text. The government assists
the school and last year gave her 1900 rupees. She
contrasted the home of a heather with the home
Of native Christian, and pleaded for liberal contr-
button for missionary work. She said SO per year
would educate one pupil. The Birnese girl with
ladies at Planfeld, N. Y. The young lady is quite
dark with pleasant and intelligent face. She sang
several hymns in her native language In a very
sweet voice, and repeated the Loyd's prayer in
English and afterwards in Birmese Miss Bar
rows displayed several articles of clothing made by
the natives, which were very fine in texture and
workmanship. The men make the clothing. She
showed the audience sample OF the Idols which
the natives worshiped. Miss Barrows while not an
eloquent speaker is certainly interesting and the
audience was much pleased with her remarks.
