eyes, she ought to be better and probably
will. That can best be determined after she
has met the other yachts in a good strong
breeze"
''Does she sail faster before the wind this
year than lasta'
From what could be seen there does not
appear to be much difference"
"What do you think~of the Atlantic and
her chances as against the other yachts?''
tThe only opinion that can be given as yet
is that the Atlantic does not appear to be as
fast as the others in light winds. The result
of the races practically proves nothing, as
no intelligent judgment can be formed of
races where the conditions were so unfair
and uneven. Until the yachts meet in a
good breeze no definite opinion can be
formed. Captain Ellsworth does not expect
to do much in light air; he believes that in a
good, strong breeze the Atlantic will be fast
Of course that is to be found OUT
. AS between the Mayfower and Puritan
against the Priscilla and Atlantic, what is
your opinion to the merits of the yachts
and how do you place them?''
This question caused Mr.. Burgess to re-
move his eyeglasses end after some hesita-
tion he replied: Throwing aside my own
feelings and JUDGING the Puritan and May
flower by their performances, both in private
trials and in races, there seems to be nc rea-
son for me to believe that the Atlantic and
Priscilla will defeat them. The chances are
good for the Puritan and Mayfower"

BURGESS ON THE BIG SLOOPS.
Not That He Loves the Priscilla Less
But Loves His own Boats More.


Mr.. Edward Burgess reached home in the
Mayfower Wednesday morning from the
Yacht races in New York harbor, and when
asked for his opinion ON the recent contest
between the several noted yachts said: 'Hav-
ing designed both the Puritan and the May
flower, it is delicate subject for me to dis
cuss the performances of these yachts with
out seemingly criticising the work of other
designers Now do not wish to appear as
praising my own workmanship or attracting
undue notoriety. The Mayfower in my
opinion is the fastest light weather boat. By
that do not mean that she is not an able
boat and cannot sail well in heavy weather,
but that she showed herself to be very fast
yacht in the light weather that prevailed
during the three races. In the first day
race she went into the Mayfower made the
not in good trim either. Her sails were
damp and also her halliards, and during the
race they kept drying out and everything
kept settling; SO that even in the condition
she was in her best work was not brought
out"
"a statement has been made that both
the Priscilla and Bedouin outpointed the
Mayf1ower in two of the races in which they
started
ssThat is not so, for the Bedouin and Pris-
ella were ia avored going out to the ightship,
and where they were the wind was different,
though of course they appeared to do better.
In going to New York the Mayfowsr had a
rough time of it and her crew were not up in
racing. In the New York Yacht club race
the spinnaker and balloon jib were hoisted
for the first time, and we knew nothing as to
how they would set."
eYou were on the Puritan in the first
days race-what do you think of her sailing
this year as compared with last?"
ST am glad you asked that question, for it
gives me chance to speak of Mr.. Forbes
handling of the yacht. He has been wrong
ly criticised and those who made the criti-
cisms were in error. He handled the Pur1-
tan splendidly, got across the line first and
led the feet until the sloop ran into calm.
Had Captain Crocker been on board he could
not have got quarter of q second more out
of the Puritan. There was not much hand
ling anyway in any of the races. 1t was
more f1ukes and flaws than anything else and
a great deal of luck. If there was not how
was it tnat the Bedouin led the fleets Every
one knows that she cannot beat either the
Puritan Priscilla. No, the statement is
not true that the Puritan lost by being sailed
by Mr.. Forbes.''

ella over last seasona''

NOT ALL EASE AND PROFIT.
We suppose there are in this Second Con-
gressional district many men who think they
could serve their country in Congress for a
long time without getting tired of the ser
vice, and we also suppose that there will be
little difficulty next fall in finding enough
candidates for the seat vacated by Mr.. Nit
ehell. But ''going to Congress is not all
fun, and perhaps it will do some of our read
ers who intend to go no harm to pay atten-
tion to the utterances of some Congressman
who are tired.
General Collins of Massachusetts is one of
those who will not accept a denomination.
He says: 'I never had to work SO hard in
my life, and at the same time there is moth
ing in public life for me and I am seriously
sacrificing my private business and losing
ground in my profession necessarily. I sim
ply cannot afford to remain in Congress- -
Congressman Foran' of Ohio is of the same
mind. He says he had before his election
worked up practice of $4,000 year, and
there is nothing in the toll and vexation of
congressional life to compensate him for the
sacrifice of S., 600 year and the growing
LeFevre of Ohio also announces his deter
minatien to retire from Congress because he
cannot afford to stay there. He says: sI
have to work like a day laborer and employ
several clerks and it is all I can do to make
ends meet at TIE close of the year, and I can
not lay by a cent. have got to stop work
ing for the country and other people and look
out for myself" And Abram S. Hewitt has
recently expressed his disgust with Congress
and his desire to quit it. He says the House
is made up of swarm of small politicians,
who cannot rise to any great question of
principle or craftsmanship, and that men try
ing to accomplish great objects for the good
of the country are harassed and defeated by
them. He feels like giving up and letting
the country 60 to the dogs.
All this is interesting, but we have no
doubt that the places of these gentlemen will
be filed, and well filled. 1t is hard to con-
vince people who have not been to Congress
that it will not pay them to go.

Cruelty to Animals.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
hack drawn by couple of lean horses
on quick trot passed down Elm street on
Saturday night, carrying ten men, eight in
side and two on the box. The vehicle COM
monty known as a hack. is heavy enough in
itself for able bodied horses, and to put ten
men in one behind old and poor animals on a
day or night when the thermometer is be-
tween 80 and 80 is clear example of cruel
ty. On the Fourth" many of these over
loaded carriages have been seen with worn
looking beasts reeking with sweat, and no
doubt their destination was to some of the
shore resorts. man should be subject to
arrest for overworking horses in this way as
well as in any other. If Captain Adams will
keep an eye upon the second-class livery sta
Dles in and about the city during hot wealth
er, he will be only performing a part of the
humane duties intrusted to him.

The Chinese who were expelled from Ia
coma, Washington Territory, have presented
claims against the city for 5000 damages.
The Portland Oregonian does not hesitate to
declare that the city ought to be compelled
to pay them and adds: The claims are now
in the hands of the governor of Washington
Territory for examination. If city is justly
liable for the consequences of mob violence
which it permits-and it is the rule of law
and justice-there are infinitely stronger
reasons why it should be held responsible for
such outrages when the same are insti-
gated and led by it's own constituted authori-
ties under the direction of the mayor.
General Russell Thayer has recently made
public description of a system he has de-
vised for propelling and guiding war bal
looms. He does not propose that the
balloons shall travel at high speed
in all weather, but only cat a
rate varying from ten to twenty miles an
hour under ordinary favorable circum-
stances Besides describing the independ-
ent balloon for war purposes, he proposes
the use of aerostat directed its course
through the air by two wires or light cables
supported across the country ordinary
poles with U-shaped iron branches on their
tops. The motive power for this form of
dirigible balloon is electricity generated at
the end of the line and transmitted to adyn-
amo machine on the deck of the balloon
through wheels which are impelled along the
wires, thus moving the entire air ship.
The decision of Judge Hammond, of the
United States Circuit court, concerning books

sale of certain copies of the book by an Ohio

been sold by one of the company's agents
who pocketed the money. Judge Hammond
enjoined the Ohio man, holding it piracy on

Rheumatism

1t Is an established fact that Hoods Sar-

in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity OF the blood, which
is the cause Of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
1t IS certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial

The Catholic Mirror believes that more
Americans are to be raised to the cardina-
late within short time. It says that there
is not the slightest doubt that Archbishop
Williams OF Boston will be the next one hon
ored, and it says that before the celebration,
in November, 1891, of the centennial of the
first Catholic see in the United States, there
is every reason to believe that Boston and
San Francisco, as well as Baltimore, will have
representatives in the college of cardinals.
The editor says he is not at liberty to di-
yulge the reasons for his statement; but he
quotes the following passage from the re-
marks of the Pope at the con-
sistory held last month: ''The flour
ishing state of Catholicity in the United
States, which develops daily more and more,
and the condition and form according to
which the ecclesiastical canons of that
