The finance committee made the
following report. To the Hon.
Mayor and Aldermen Of the town
of Pulaski: We your committee to
whom the last gas bill was referred
beg leave to repo { that we do not
believe the gas up to contract. Also
that Upon inquiry among the clti-
zens of the town that the gas is
very unsatisfactory. As to what
you will do with the account we re-
spectfully ask the board TO say.
Feeling that it was an injustice to
us as your finance committee to
saddle it upon us, for if we recon-
mend that it be disallowed it will
certainly involve the town in a law
suit, and we feel that we do not
care to shoulder all the blame.

YACHT RACING.

The American Sl0op Sac2iem Defeats the
English Cutter Miranda-Racc at Marble.
head.
NEWPORT, r. l., Oct 2-The match DO
tween the American sloop Sache,n and the
English cutter Miranda was sailed yester-
day over the Block Island course, seventeen
and a half miles and return, and resulted in
q handsome victory for the American YES
sci. There was q good working breeze all
day. The race was sailed almost alone,
very little interest being taken in it by the
people here. TIE Miranda crossed the line
at 1854 :35 and the Sacliem at 1856: 100,
both standing away on the starbOard
tack. Scarcely twenty minutes had
elapsed when, at 11:l2:S0. the Sachem
passed her rival to windward and be-
gan showing her heels. At 11:27 both
vessels tacKed to starb0ard and frequent
tacks followed. At 1852 both tackled to
starbOard for what proved the longest
stretch of the outward trip. The Sachem
on this tack ran away up to Block Island
and weathering the point passed close un-
der the west shore. leaving the Miranda
three or four miles outside. A5Ou. two
o'clock the wind suddenly veered around
to the northwest and fresheEed perceptibly.
The Miranda being tie farthest north,
caught the wind fully FIVE minutes before
the Sachem ami began to overhaul the lat
ter rapidly. At 2:l0 the Sachem
tackled to starboard and caught the
same breeze as her rival, which
soon brought her down upon the stakeb0at
southwest of Block island. At 2:lS the
Sacheln rounded and at once stood away
for home and, with every thing drawing,
dashed off at rafting pace. The Miranda
also dashed down at a rapid rate, and just
seven minutes after the Sachem went
around the stakebOat. From this point to
the finish the race was uneventful, stiff
wind sending the yachts along rapidly ard
making the run short one. The Sacliem
crossed the finish line at 1858: so; the Mi
randa at 1902 80. The corrected time is:
Sachem, 4:57 Al: Miranda. 5:O6:25.
MARBLEHEAD. Mass, Oct. 2.-The race
between the yachts Thetis and Stranger to
settle the question OF which should hold the
thrdc!ass cup sailed fee in the darkness at
Newport a few days ago, was sailed here to-
day in a breeze ranging from fifteen to
eighteen miles per hour. 1t was close and
exciting, and was won by the Thetis BY
only one and one-half minutes.

careful investigation we find that the COM
paint, as published, which on its face ap.
pears to reflect on the Christian character
and integrity OF our candidate, is purely per
sonal and confined wholly to his family
affairs. We believe that in pleading the
statute of limitation he was actuated by an
honest desire to do justice to his family as Il
whole. We also find that Mr.. BranscOmbe
had, several years ago, placed his property
in his wfe's hands for this same pur-
pose. Altogether, the committee, efter
due deliberation and inquiry, are unnn
imous in the belief that Mr.. Brans-
combe is innocent of any act of injustice;
We believe he will pass through this ordeal
without stain, and is rather to be commend
ed for unselfshness than condemned for
wrongdoing. BY order of the committee.
