The Mayfiower Victorious.

Again American sloops have been
proven superior TO British cutters. The
Americas cup remains in this country.
The.May1lower beat the Galatea about as
easily as the Puritan last year beat the
Genesta. Six times have. the English
yachtmen tried to win back the cup
which the yacht America won at Cowes
IN 1851 in a race in which fifteen yachts
OF the royal yacht squadron participated.
After every failure TO win the cup the
English yachtmen have said that they
had faster yachts than the one IN the race,
but somehow or other when the next
chance offered they failed TO send a yacht
that was capable Of competing success
fully with the yachts on this side of the
ocean.
Lieutenant HEM, the owner OF the Ga
lstea, is a plucky sailor, and has made
himself very popular with American
yachtmen. 1t has been the great dream
OF his lie TO carry back TO England the
Americas cup. He had his pretty
yacht built for that purpose. While
rejoicing over the Maynower's victory it
is impossible not TO feel "A little sympathy
with Lieut.. Hem in his disappointment.
He will carry back with him, however,
the knowledge that before England will
be able to get the cup she will have to
build much faster yacht than any that
she has.

Prof. MendenhalPs assurance in fixing
the exact time of the beginning of the
great earthquake shock at Charleston at
9:51 :56 p m, on Aug. 81, 1886, because of
the stoppage OF the Signal Service clock
at that time, may be open to criticism, as
it is by no means certain that the first
shock or movement of the earth was the
greatest. The first shock, so-called, con-
sisted Of number OF shocks lasting over
thirty seconds. There is chance for an
error OF nearly half minute in the time.

An exchange thinks that if Martin
Irons hadn't distinguished himself so
much awhile ago, perhaps the fact that
he was iugged for drunkenness in Kansas
CITY the other night wouldn't have
been worth telegraphing all over the
continent. That's one of the penalties OF
being distinguished" 1t may also be
regarded as one OF the penalties for not
obeying Mr.. Powderly's injunction to boy
colt rum.

TWO BALLOON STORIES.
An Hours Ride that Turned Mans
Hair White-Going Up Heels First.

From the PhuadelDAiG Ne10s.
In talk with John Forepaugh last night /
heard several interesting stories Of adven-
lures with hot-air balloons:
1--WE used to initiate the balloons and send
them skyward at every stopping point OF the
Forepaugh show" he said. land / remember
now one incident in regard 10 these balloons,
which occurred in 1874 at Chester. There
was a large crowd ON the grounds, and man
we called Big Smith was Inside the bag while
it was being inflated. AT last the balloon
hulged out, nearly full, and Smith craWIed
from under. Twenty five men were holding
the balloon, and Smith, after he got outside
the machine, saw candy butcher named
Mitchell standing near him. Before any one
could count i've Smith grabbed mitchell.
threw him in the basket and yelled Let go!
The men dropped the ropes. the Balloon shot
aloft like a rocket, and the ten thousand peo-
pie strained their eyes as they saw 1t grow
smaller and smaller, until IL was out OF slght.
"When the balloon was first skipping to-
ward heaven MitchelPs head could be see n
over the edge OF the basket as he yelled, Help,
for Gods sake" When the big bag hoa'ed
beyond the range of vision dozen men
started northward-the way the wind carried
the ballOon-in teams. They drove eight or
ten miles. and they 'ound the balloon with
the wretched Mitchell lying helplessly In the
basket on the bank Of n creek MitchelPs hair
had actually turned white from fright in mis-
hours ride in tue clouds.
"Several years after that, in another town,

WAS being inflated. After it was full of hot
air he crawled over the edge Of the basket end
another man got in for trip through the
ozone belt, Some one yelled: Let co. the
ropes were loosened. but one rope, on the
site on which Smith was getting out. took d
turn around his leg. clutching him tightly.
and as the balloon shot skyward it took Smith
with 1t by the ankle. His terrified companion
in the basket, who heard the cry OF horror that
swept over the crowd, could not help him, for
II he changed his position the chances were
that the basket would upset or that the rope
would unCoil. After about ten minutes the
balloon came down with Smith unconscious
and his mead full OF blood. However. he re-
covered, and is yet in the show business"

Miss PhilddelDbia' in the Precedence Journal.
Yes, agree with YOU that English people
are capable, somehow, of the frankest bad
manners in the worid. Have you heard any
of The funny stories flying about that English
couple touring amongst us a while ago, Mr.
and Mrs. -? They are both, you know,
public characters; both literary, learned in
their grooves. Madame aesthetic, Monsieur
reverend, philanthroplc and musical eDthu-
siast.
A musical friend of mine met them and was
sufficiently fascinated by their converse to
mediate inviting them to spend some days at
her house. She mentioned this project to the
lazy who was entertaining them.
II have no donbt Won would make visit
charming to them," the lady replied but
before you ask them think ought, inhospi-
table as it seems to give you some slight
account of our experience as hosts"
I his visit TO us WAS o begin al lunch time.
1t was almost the hour for that meal when
Mr.. -. from whom they were coming to US.
drove hastily tn our door. "Uave Mr.. and
Ms. - reached here yet?" were almost his
frs words.
NO though I'm looking for them any mo-
ment."
''Well. we're at an utter loss what to do.
They left Us this morning with m word as to
their luggage, their trunks are standing open
in their rooms. nothing packed up, even their
toilet apparatus scattered about Are we to
have them packed, do you supposeW
just then our guests came. Salutations
over. Are our boxes Gomez" demanded
Madame. Mr.. - interposed: 81 have just
driven here to ask about them. AS they were
open, ard nothing packet, we did not under
stHnd yOur Intentions about them"
Why returned his late lady guest, II
expected your va ct would pack my husbands
thinEs, and your wife's maid attend tn nine"
Every good, re urned Mr.. -. THE lug
gage shall come at once" He has no valet,
| and his wife no maid, but Somebody packed
the boxes and speeded them here.
At breakfast next morning we had unbolted
wheat gems. tn our guests declined them,
but Mr.. - looked very curionsly TO see what
we should do with them. When one was
broken open, why, theJ re not meat!' he
exclaimed.
"Oh, no. they're hot bread made of I'M
bolted flour" we said.
Jaw then I'll try one.' he remarked ~
think it's very stupid TO travel in a foreign
country and shun all the oddities one encoun-
tcrs TAKE one, my dear - he added prese n t.
ly to his wife, They're not so bad as they
look !"
For dinner we had a turkey-a very large
one. Some Of it was grilled Tor supper. and
next day we had some in a salad at lunch.
Mr.. - did not understand what the dish
was, and said it was turkey salad. "Awn ~
he answered me, turkey for dinner. turkey

An Old Splinter in Mans Hand 23
YeArs.


From the Stockton IndsDendent.
Recently DIR. A. t. Hudson extracted a
splinter one inch long and one-eighth OF an
inch in thickness from the hand of James
Bard. of Trinity county. Mr.. Bard Is an old
soldier. and served on the Union side during
the civil war. He participated In an engage
ment in July, 1868, and while in the at of
aiming his musket a bullet from the enemy's
ranks struck the stock OF his musket and
shattered it. He was wounded in the palm
of his hand, and 1t was supposed that the
bullet had lodged in the flesh. The wound
soon healed, and for a long time caused no
trouble or pain. After serving through the
war Mr.. Bard came to California and settled
in Trinity county, where he has since resided.
OF late his hand has caused him consider
able trouble, especially when STOPPING to pick
up ANYTHING, and he was advised by a local
physician to have an operation performed
upon 1t. but he 81 not fesl able to stand the
expense. Mr.. Bard takes considerable inter-
est in Grand Army matters. He Ia very pa
triotic. and has right to be, inasmuch as he
participated in 1fty-tyo battles ana skir-
mishes during the late war. He was bound
TO attend the encamDmeut ut san Francisco,
and TO RAISE the requisite funds sold COW for
$50. While in San Francisco he met DR.. A. T.
Hudson, of this city. The doctor also advised
an operation on the ailing hand, and, learn
ing that Mr.. Bard was not able to stand the
expense. he magnanimously offered TO per
form the operation gratuitously II Mr.. Bard
would come to Stockton. and the latter ac-
cordingly came. DR.. Hudson reopened the
wound and probed 1t. and instead of finding
a bullet, as was expected, found the splinter
above described. 1t was piece OF the old
musket stock. and had remained imbedded in
the MAPS fle.h for twenty-three years, and
was IN good state of preservation. Mr..
is very grateful TO DR.. Hudson for his gene
