THE YACHTS.
They Get All Ready fOr Another TrIal
But the Wind Dies Out-DOubts Ex-
pressed as to Whether the Race VIII
Take Place This Year.

BosroN, Sept. 30.
After many days of waiting and wishing for
wind enough in which to sail their great
match race, the English cutter Galatea and
the Yankee sloop Mayfiower left their moor
ings in Marblehead harbor this morning,
with everything indicating that at last they
would have all the Wind they wanted. Three
hours later the rival yachts returned to an
chorage because the wind "died out" and
again 'no race" signals were displayed from
the flagship. On all sides were to be heard
only mingled expressions of regret and dis
gust, For nearly two weeks had the two
great racers lain at anchor waiting for such
wind as would place them on equal footing
and show, as Lieut.. Hem of the Galatea said
which was the better boat in heavy weather
Capt. Stone of the Mayfower was seen
after the postponement and expressed the
opinion that the race should have been sailed
today. He doesn't believe that the race will
be sailed between the two racers this year as
the Galatea people have refused the cond-
tions that they formerly claimed as would
be favorable to there chances of victory tor

BATH. Sent. %.

BATH, Sept. 90
1t is now believed that the labor trouble in
this city is in fair way of settlement. From
what can be learned in the matter it is thought
the "cut' workmen who went out will soon
be at work again at what may be called a
compromise price, better rate of wages
than the offer made by the New England
Shipbulding Company before the men quit
work.
1t is understood that the company after
considerable thought have made an offer to
the men, an advance over the former one
and that they will pay certain price per day
till January lst and from that date to March
lst less rate per day. The offer, it is said
is considered fair one being but small
sum less than the rate paid during the sum
mer.
Messrs. Kittridge, Shaw, Phillips and
Siphers of the executive board of District
Assembly Sc, met in session at the common
council room today, having under advise
ment the offer of the New England Shipbuild.
ing Company.
The Knights OF Labor here show deter
mination not to give up in the stand they
have raken unless otherwise ordered by the
district board. At meeting of the knights
last evening it was voted to levy an assess
ment of one dollar member to assist the
"cut" workmen and to meet any emergency
that might arise.
Alta late hour this afternoon the executive
board was still in session, not having arrived
at a conclusion of the matter under advise
ment. Quite a number of the knights are IN
attendance at the meeting.

WINTHROP, Sept. 20.
Owing to the rainstorm Tuesday the exer-
cises of the Kennebec show occurred We'd
nesday. At ten o'clock was the examination
by the committee of neat stock, sheep. swine
and poultry; at two o'clock, drawing and disci-

tie is the largest ever shown here. E. A.
Bailey of Winthrop, has sixteen yoke on ex-

New England and Maine State fairs. This
is probably the finest team ever shown in the
State. The hall exhibit is excellent, espec-

Some Men.

Some men we wot of seem to be so com
pletely blinded by their prejudices that
they cannot allow their reason TO sway
them in any particular where their
minds have been made upon certain
point. If an individual chances to
cross their path they instantly con-
denim him on the most bitterly erDarte
evidence and even refuse to listen to an
explanation of his motives. This is the
same whether the individual whom they
make themselves hate has done them
anv real wrong or not. He may have
been acting the part of a friend he may
even have gone out Of his way to fur
nish them facts that would be to their
advantage to possess; still should those
same facts be, by any chance of circum-
stance, turned against their benefactor
they do not hesitate to join in the gen.
era! cry and help to kick their friend
when he is d, Wn. Gratitude is the last
quality that they appear to possess.
Their blind prejudice is their only gain,
and they do othesitate to form the most
unqualified and Interchangeable opinion
from hearing one side of the question
only. Such men are sometimes held in
high esteem by community for sea-
son; but eventually they are found out.
The public becomes acquainted with
them as they are, and they fall from
its esteem. They cannot be just to in
dividuals, and as communities are com
posed of individual persons, they can
not, when their personal affairs are
called in question, pass impartial judg-
ment on public questions. The result
is they are driven within their own
prejudiced shells and can take no part
in public sffairs. In some cases the
inevitable result of their suicidal preju-
dice is to stand off for a long time, out
SO sure as the human Rind is possessed
of intelligence, and the bread principles
of individual judgment are exercised, so
sure are they eventually shelved. The
first victim of their misplaced judgment
may be very humble and without more
than the most remote influence; but if
that victim be possessed of a sound
mind he will eventually come out ahead
in the race; all that is requisite is
patience and labor.

Before Judge Dee.

A case of disturbing the peace in
which w. E. Wilson figured as the de-
PENDANT was heard in the Police Court
yesterday, the defendant being fined $40.
The case against Robert Garlet, the
barber who was arrested for ejecting
Chinaman from his shop, was the next
on the docket. The barber proved that
he was innocent and was discharged,
the Chinaman evidently not realizing
whether the trial had been satisfactory
to him or not. When the case was over
he got up with half satisfied smile on
his face and left the court room.
James Mcdonald was the next IN
fortunate and he plead not guilty to
complaint charging him with commit
tina the crime of battery on the person
of E. w. Wilson by striking him on the
head with a cane. 1t seems that the
two parties had had some words in a
saloon when Wilson called McDepmot
q hard name and the latter struck Will
son over the head, raising lump. After
the WITNESSES for the prosecution had
given their evidence, the defendant told
his story and the court found him
guilty and assessed a fine of $40 anu
costs. The defendant gave notice OF ap-
peal and in spite of the remonStrance
of friends seemed determined to carry
his point. Finally. however, Mr.. Tan
ner was consulted and advised him to
pay the fine. He still persisted in hav-
ing the appeal, but upon learning what
the attorneys fee would be thought he
had better go TO jail and was conse-
quently locked up,
