a large attendance at Sheepshead Bay races

prises to a great part of the operators and
bOokmakerS. who went home laden with
money on the issue of both events, as COM

THE DIVERS TIRED OF RACING.
New YORK, September 17th.-The Sun
says: We have made all the money we
want at racing" remarked Michael Dwyer
yesterday, and are willing to sell out to
anybody that would like to enter the busl-
ness. We will sell at a fair price and i'm
part the information we have gained to the
buyer Dwyer Bros. have made half q
million since 1876 and are anxious to retire
They do not care to sell George Kinney or
Miss Woodford. Checkmate has been pre-
scented to his original owner.
Sloop vs.. Cutter.
New YORK, September 17th-The TriJ-
me says: The American eagle presents her
compliments to the British lion, and begs
leave casually to remind him that Column
bias the gem of the ocean" There is no
possible doubt as TO which is the better
yacht. The cutter men may not be willing
to admit yet that vessels built after their
favOrite model are not the best for these
waters, but on that point hereafter, the
burden of proof rests with them. Nobody
can deny that the sloop Puritan is faster
than the cutter Genesta. The result of the
races will add greatly to the popular inter
est in the regular fall regattas of the various
yacht clubs. As the Genesta is entered for
some of these contests it is possible Sir
Richard Sutton may yet carry home two or
three silver mugs. Report has it that in
this way both the Puritan and Priscilla
may sail against the Genesta again this fall
The presence of the Priscilla would make
any race in which the GeneSta took part
most interesting, but in the minds of many
yachtSmen there are reasons founded on
good taste why the Puritan should stav
out.
The TranscontinentaI Pool.
New YORK, September I7th.-As the
representatives of the different lines arrive
here from St. Paul various reports are cur
rent as to the future of the transcontinental
pool. From the best obtainable informa-
ton your correspondent learns that the
meeting at st. Paul adjourned without
taking action on the policy adopted by the
Sunset route, and that nothing was said
about a future meeting. The pool is not
dissolved, but a rupture certainly has oc-
CURED of larger dimensions than other
previous quarrels. By tacit understand
ing there will be no rate cutting before 0c-
tober LIST. This action has been taken to
drsw back shippers, who, at the first sign
of war OF rates, withdrew their freight
from the different lines. Meanwhile the
feeling against the Sunset continues most
bitter. 1t is claimed that their represent
atives took advantage of the time when the
movement of freight to California was
steadily on the increase to precipitate the
quarrel. 1t can be stated on undisputed
authority that in the event of the breaking
up of the pool, every road in the associa-
ton will combine to fight the Sunset
Agent Stubs arrived here yesterday, and
held conference with C. 2. Huntington.
Sensational Trial of Bank Wrecker.
ERIE pa, September 17th.-A sensa-
ton was created Ill Court yesterday in the
trial of Adam Bradender, the wrecker of
the Erie County Savings Bank, when Mrs
Mcguire, depositor, rose in the witness
box and cursed the defendant for robbing
her son Michael and thus causing his in
sanity. htSi'ltt lIlC VI the Olll-
GERS she hurled anathemas upon the
quaking prisoners head until she was ex-
hausted. The indignation among the spec
tators, who were nearly all victims of the
bank failure, knew no bounds when it was
shown that Bartender and his cashier,
Petit, had forged the names of many prom
inent citizens to paper which was substi-
tuted for their own Just previous to the
frauds. The fraudulent paper, represent
ing more than $4,000, was spread before
the Court.
