THE TURN.

I'm GhNs
At 1850 o'clock the outer mark hove in
sight, and in half an hour the fleet OF
steamers, numbering thirteen In all, had
gathered around it to await the yachts.
The wind had fallen light and
had canted point to the westward.
Down came the trio like whte-winged
birds on the wing. The MayflOwer's bal
loon jib topsail came In at l al 80 O'Clock.
Four minutes later in came her spinna-
ker, and at 1853 O'Clock she gibbed TO
port and came for the mark close hauled
on the starboard tack, luffing grandly
around 1t few moments later.
sHRILL sERENADE.
A serenade OF steam whistles greeted
the pride of Boston as she began her
windward work with lead of nearly a
mile. The Galatea gibed at :52:3O
O'Clock, having doused her spinnaker
three minutes before. The time OF round
ing the outer mark, with the elapsed time,
was: Mayhower-Turn :05, elapsed
time 2:32:25. Galatea-Turn 2:10:20,
elapsed time 2:46:10. The sloop had
beaten the cutter l3 minutes and 45 SEQ
onds.
The Priscilla luffed around the mark
only minutes after the May6ower, and
stood off on the port tack.
The Galatea made very pretty picture

gan the chase to windward after the
sloop.
PLENTY OF WIND.
Both had about all the wind they want
ed. Capt. Stone put the Mayfower about
at 100 and stood to the northward. Capt.
Webb sailed the Galatea. He refused to
tack, so at 2:22 O'Clock Capt. Stone
brought the sloop round again.
She was mile on the cutters weather
beam. Five minutes before gong about
the slOep took in her club topsail. Both
yachts went about at Ago O'clock, and
stood 20 the north. They were Off Deal
Beach now, with the wind growing
lighter. The MayflOwer was lucky to
hold the light air under the land, with the
Galatea almost Decalmed twenty minutes.
AS the Mayflower slowly approached the
finish the excitement was intense on the
steamers.
FEARS FOR THE FINISH.
There was no fear that the Mayflower
would be defeated, but 1t was feared that
the limit OF time would expire. AS all
hope was dying out the breeze freshened,
and the sloop shot across the
finish line, close hauled on the
port tack, just as the sun
sank TO rest, with but eight minutes to
spare. The cheering and whistlIng lasted
for fully ten minutes, the crew of the vic
torious sloOp waving and cheering them
selves until the yacht was long past the
finish. The Boston Herald tug Henry
Roussell, with Mr.. Stebbins, the artist, on
board, towed the Nj ay1lower to her anchor
age. The Galatea finished BIN. 12s. later.
AS she came to anchor the Mayhower's
crew gave her three cheers, which the
Englishmen answered. The Galatea is

CLEV ELAND NOT SHOT.
Denial of Il Rumor Which Gained
Circulation in the North.


PROSPECT HOUSE, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE
most astonishing incident OF a somewhat
uneventful day was the receipt of several
kilograms asking If President Cleveland
had really been shot and if he was much
hurt. Editor Butler, of the Buffalo News,
asked for an immediate answer From
the Western Union office in New York
came an inquiry about the Presidents
condition, and this evening a similar dis
patch was received from Plattsburg from
DR.. Ward, who mad reached that point on
his way home 10 Albany. AS President
Cleveland was in the enjoyment OF
perfect health and no accident
had befalleD him, of course only one an
swer could be made. What puzzles peo-
pie here is how such a rumor was set
ahOat. 1t could hardly have had it's orl-
gin in this vicinity, for no such absurd
statements were sent out from the tele-
graph office at this Inn, ana no dispatch
of such TENOR was sent from the only
other telegraph office in the neighbOrhood
that at Paul Smith's-seventeen miles
away.

Mir. LamaIJs Confirmation.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-From CONVEX
sations have had with Republican sena-
tors | draw the conclusion that sx-Post-
master Wilson's refusal to give up his
office will not affect the question of Post
master Lamar's confirmation. The Sem
ate Committee on Post Offices and Post
Routes may, in reporting the nomination
ofPostmaster Lamar, state, as they have
stated in other similar cases, that the
suspended Postmaster was sus-
pended for offensive partisanship,"
and not for any other cause,
and that the Senate will go right on to
confirm Postmaster Lamar. The Repub-
licans will .be satisfied with this deciara-
ton of the reason for Wilson's suspension.
No doubt is entertained by the law Off
OF the government as to the Presidents
right to suspend eX-Postmaster Wilson.
This right has never been questioned and
cannot be successfully disputed. 1t was
conceded by all the Republican lawyers
in the Senate during the controversy OF
last winter over the Presidents nomina-
