Galatea and Mayf1ower.
Let the effort be made now

We can hardly look upon the coming race
between the sloop Mayhower and cutter Ga
latea with any antcpations of sportsmanlike
pleasure. Simply because all the probabili-
ties are in favor of one of the yachts.
Unless some totally unlocked for incident
or accident occur the Mayhower is the sure
winner. The likelihood is that the owner
of the Galatea has that opinion too.
Why then the question arises, should he
join in yacht race where he is morally GER
tain of being beaten.
The reply is, being such sportsmanlike
sailor, Lieutenant Hem, knowing full well the
experience of the Genesta with the Puritan,
hopes that, having sailed his yacht over the
course chosen by American yachtsmen, a
course undoubtedly well suited to the Amer
ican type of yacht, that sportsmanlike honor
which he believes rests among Americans
will allow them in turn to race their yachts
with the English type, represented in this
case by the Galdtea, over a course spec ally
well suited to the English type of yacht
namely the 800 mile course to the Bermudasl
That is about the whole thing in a nut
shell. Turn about is fair play the Nautical
Gazette notwithstanding.
Let our noble Priscilla try the Englishman
over the ocean course To be sure it is a
pretty rough course, but after all it is a more
sure test of all-around seamauship sailing,
and navigation.
The paiallelism is somewhat similar to the
distinction between the pot-hunting for
grouse or wordcock down the peninsula and
jungle hunting with shikaree for the tiger or
panther in Hindostan
In the parallelism the huntsman's nerve,
precision, aud experience are brought at any
moment to simultaneous test-so let us
not fear mountainous seas or Bermuda hur-
ricaues,
Our Wilmington boat is staunch con-
cern built by the best builders in America
no clapboards or shingles lightly slung to-
gather in symmetrical mathematical form
for the temporary demonstration of the prob
lem of skimming butteiily-like over shallow
summer seas That is no yacht sailing.
Old Hendrick Hudson OF the ancient Vas
co de Cana would smile over such timorous
boy-piay. Let our yachtsmen, if they wish
to cali themselves such take a sniff among
the 'white-caps'of the Beimudas and double
reef their .mainsails in West India hurri-
cane, not Cape May or Long Island Off
shore zephyr that will hardly tilt a straw
from its right angle.
Lieutenant Hem Is a thorough sportsman
and he came over here not to race in the
land-locked Long Island Sound but really to
stretch his canvas on the deep sea-out of
sight of land

the Legislature.
This is the moment to discuss the point
Shall we continue re-eecting those who

of which they must place their individual
interests instead of those of their consti.
tuents?
This city needs the agency at Dover of a
man who can do effective work for Whining
ton, untrammeled by political obligations.
We need legislator who, when local cues
tons arise, can be depended upon to stand
up unhestatingly, and directly and frankly,
give his vote for what is clearly the interest
Of Wilmington. We need one who has no
lengthy record of campaign debts to pay.
Our new legislator must be distinctively
clear Of any such tics Or obligations.
Now most Of our citizens are sufficiently
well posted upon the political asperaints
their ties and obligations to make no uncer
tain movement in giving their suffrages for
a legislator for this city at Dover. Certain Of
the aspranTs are bound hand and foot in cam
paign post bits. They cannot vote ndepend-
emily did they wish it Is it wise then for
our citizens to give their support to those
who are thus impotout to serve them To
give their votes to men who cannot do their
duty.

able legislation is needed for our city aud

Constitutional Convention,

The desire Of the people for such change
in the organic laws as will enable them to
do away with the appointment power of the
Governor, and remit the filling Of all the
offices to direct vote Of the people, is grow

be lodged in the hands of one man, in Gov

The voters are more competent to select
whom they want to fill the offices than is apy
one man. 1t is impossible for him to know
the wants. desires and wishes of The people

does he go for instruction and advice? Does
he ask the voters generally or does he ask
that man whom he looked to for his election
in the particular locality whore the offices is

That the officers of the County Building

Then the people could control the whole

is true of the Levy Court, where the business
is conducted by hundreds and not on county
lines yet there are hundreds that have had
no legal representative in the Court for
years, the members being elected by voters
entirely outside Of the hundred.
Look at the election laws! What farce
they are, as the testimony of hundreds Of

them in more severe terms than they.

TWO CENTS
Fire Brick and Other Pavement.

rlre bfIck ana Obher Pavement.
The discussion over the various description
of pavement is becoming quite interesting.
Speaking generally, from the average val
ue OF the testimony given the public, it ap
pears that either Belgian block or fire brick
are quite suitable for paving purposes.
The only trouble is in the methods of lay.
ing it, the suitability and thorough prepara-
tion of the material to be used, and lastly
the reliability of those responsible for the
execution Of the work.
II, in the use of fire biick a material ill., t
seems excellently well suited, according to
general testimony, the contractor should be
guilty for purposes of gain, of building the
road with improperly or ineficently prepared
material, that is soft brick, or material other.
wise unsuited, the result will be that fire
brick pavement will be condemned, and
what is really an excellent article for
paving our streets, brought into disrepute
through the avarice or carelessnesss of the
contractors. Again, Belgian pavement is
undoubtedly well suited for paving but that
system also is liable to be brought into dis
repute. If the bed be not laid with suffi
cheney of gravel upon surface of even and
continuously hard substructure before the
placing of the blocks, no matter how nice
and square and even they may appear on
superficial examination, what is being done
on Fourth street may again turn out la
mentable failure as it has hitherto done.
The fault is not in the system, which a
suficiency of evidence from outside the city
has proved fully efficient, but in the honest
execution of the work.
It is there where the responsibility lies.
The work is being done in our midst at pres
ent. Let those who are responsible for the
efficient execution of it be reminded of this
fact.
Experiment in pavement work is entirely
too expensive, and unnecessary, the city can
not afford it further. Let the authorities
experiment in rigid watchfulness upon
those who are laying the Belgian block at
the present moment.
The Belgian block system is good one,
shown so by plenty of reliable testimony
all that is needed for its success is an unceas-
ing surveillance over the constructors.
In business sense this is peremptory in
order that no more public money be wasted
the City Treasury cannot afford it,

The sanctity of the ballot, district represen-

tly the hearty support, of men who are not

who do not make pretense of being. This
class of persons could long ago have been

they see now very plainly that they will be
able to get neither a stringent licence sys-

sale of intoxicants except through some such
agency as temperance party. 1t is not at

The Wilmingtonian., 1886-09-04

Sunday eight thousand were added to this
list. The one spot favored of all others is
the board walk and the pavillions. The
board walk skirts the waters edge and is
four miles in length. This walk is lined on
either side with lighthouses, pavillons and
booths for the sale OF all sorts and kinds of
fancy articles. At night when the incandescer t
light throws its glamour over the surging
thousands the scene is simply indiscribable.
One noticeable and even remarkable fea-
ture OF Atlantic City is the absence of bois-
terousness and drunkenness. We did not see
during three days and three nights either a
noisy or drunken person.
1t has been truly said of Atlan6ic City
that it is not n parlor place. AT bathing hour
to-day the parlors were vacant and tonight
the big chandeliers blazed away all the eve
ming, but only with the effect of making their
lonesomeness more marked At o'clock
this evening, the popular hour for promena-
ding on the beach, the board walk could not
begin to hold all who wanted to move along
its winding course by the edge of the sea.
The pavillions aud piers could not supply
ample seating facilities and consequently
hundreds We're compelled to seek the sand.
Between the hours of 12 and the bath house
keepers could not furnish enough robes to
the crowds which applied. Suits in many
instances did service half dozen times, be-
ing simply put through the wringer and Civ
en- to some one waiting, eager to get
into the surf. This is remarkable, since
there is continuous row of bath houses
three miles long, capable of turning out
twenty thousand suits, according to infor-
nation given the City Clerk, through whom
the keepers receive their license. Add to
this those who have their own suits and pri-
vate bath house, and it will be safe to esti
mate thirty thousand as the number in IL
ocean at midday of Sunday.
Of the thousands and tens of thousands
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., have
daily transported to Atlantic City accidents
have been reduced to the minimum, but one
life, if we remember correctly, has been lost
on the rail duringth entire summer. When
you think of it, transporting seventy-five
thousand people in one day, without any
friction, trains going and returning on sched-
ule time, is not only stupendous but it is sim
ply marvellous railroad management.
Without the Pennsylvania Railroad Allan
tic City could not command her present
position.
The Peninsula Press Association conslud-
ed its labors on Monday night and every
member seemed to be glad that he had been
permitted to be present at the meeting and to
draw inspiration from the surrounding in
huences.
