GOSS & SAWYER.
Meeting of the Creditors of the Above
Firm i'm Bath.

BATH, Sept. s.
The creditors of the ship building firms of
Goss & Sawyer, and Goss, Sawyer & Pack
ard met in Bath Wednesday, in response to a
circular from the board of trustees empow-
cred to handle the property of these insolvent
firms. Eighteen months were given the
trustees to realize on the assets sufficient to
settle the claims. That time has not expired.
Owing to business depression, the affairs are
in no better condition than they were eighteen
months ago, and the creditors have refused
further time. The liabilities are 100000,
assets S417 900. The assets will be mater-
rally diminished in forced conversion into
cash in the present state of business. The
above firms are not in existence now, and the
New England Shipbuilding Company occu-
pies the plant.

SPORTING.
THE YACHT RACES.
The supporters of the Mayfiower and
Galatea Hopeful OF the Final Result.

New YORK, Sept s.
The talk of the town, today, is yesterdays
yacht race, and the probable result of to-
morrow's trial, twenty miles to windward and
return. Odds are being laid on the Boston
boat, but friends of the Galatea are placing
considerable money on their favorite on even
terms. The Mayflower's supporters are more
confident than ever that Americas cup will
stay on this side of the Atlantic. Cutter men
stood by the Galatea and said her perform
ance in light wind, yesterday, was only
short of marvellous. They expect the British
er to win tomorrow's trial in the race to wind
ward.
The Maytiower men were willing to con
cede that if the first twenty miles tomorrow
should be beat to windw ard, the Galatea
might lead, but that coming back, the May
flower, with free sheet home, would not
only cut down the lead but pass the Briton
and win with some minutes to spare. Very
wise men in yachting didn't say much The
result of the race has not disappointed the
Galatea people. Lieut.. Hem is quite hope
full of a successful issue in tomorrow's at
tempt. The course is an ideal one for the
cutter and he thinks if good stiff breeze
blows the Maytiower will have to sail very
fast to beat her. The prospects for tomor-
rows race are good. The start will be made
from Scotland or Sandy Hook lightship at
1880. The course will be twenty miles to
windward or ieeward and return. The selec
ton will depend entirely on the wind.

rye has been best, exceeding in quantity and

Oats have been of good growth though affect

and rye is satisfactory. The long spell of
rainless weather has been very injurious to
corn, and a late planted potato crop has suf-
fered seriously. Buckwheat will be small
