hour by hour, more thought is given to the
needs of the present and the wants of the
future. The appeals of the colored minis

in distress was wholly unnecessary. The
relief committee treat the funds at their
command, as subscribed, for the benefit of
the whole community and it is given out
without distinction of race, color or condi-

A Great Day.
New YORK, Sept. 7.-This has been the
greatest yachting day that New York has
ever seen and another day of glory for
Boston, for her latest and prettiest product
OF naval architecture. The yacht May
flower has won the first race of the inter-
national series against powerful antagon-
ist, the British cutter Galatea, with steady
| wholesale breeze from the southwark, per-
mitting each to carry all their light sails.
| The Galatea was beaten IL minutes and
| 40 seconds actual time or IL minutes and 2
seconds corrected time. the Mayfower
having given her 38 seconds time allowance,
according to the New York yacht club
rules, under which the races are sailed.
| The contest was eminently fair for both
yachts inasmuch as half the cousre
sailed gave almost all windward work,
| while the other half was with free sheets.
| Although the cutter was defeated she has
shown herself to be faster yacht than the
Genesta in a light breeze and one that may
| be very hard to beat in strong breeze ana
| a seaway. 1t has been a day of excitement,
| such as is seldom seen in New YORK.
| From dawn till dark, afioat or ashore IN
| hotels, clubs or in change "The yacht race
was the leading topic OF conversation.
