THE YACHT RACE,

Time Made In Yesterdays Race.
New BEDFORD, Aug. 10.-A fair sailing
breeze prevailed this morning when the New
York yacht squadron sailed from this port
| for Vineyard Haven. AS early as half-past
o'clock the handsome crafts commenced to
get under way and drop down the harbor
where they rendezvoused and awaited the
arrival of the tardy ones. Shortly after
1880 the starting gun was fred and as
they crossed the line between the steam
yacht Fedelma and Clark's Point, their time
was taken. In sailing out of the harbor the
Wanderer went ashore near Palmer's Island,
but was hauled off by the tug Nellie in time
to start with the feet. The cutter Galatea
was towed into the bay by the flagship Ele-
dra, and Lieutenant Hem, her owner, view
ed the sail from the bridge of Commodore
Gerry's handsome craft upon which he was a
guest. Nearly all of the yachts carried club
topsails, over-working topsails and made a
good show of canvas.
The start was as follows:
Stranger, 10:49:55; Lancer, 10: 81 30; Ora
Gle, 10:51:27; Vixen, 1051:27; Puritan,
10:5s:o5; BERTHE, 10:52;4s; Halcyon, II AZ;
Fanny, 1O:5s:46; Sachem, 10:53:19; Ashton,
10:54:S1; Priscilla. 1O:54:59; Mayhower,
1o:55:oa; whileaway, 1O:55:56; Dauntless,

telle, 10:57:54; Hildegarde, 10:59:34; Gym

Meranda 11;o4;so, Wave Crest 11;o4:4o,
Dreadnaught 11:O604 It was reach to
Quick's Hole, which the yachts were able to
make easily without lacking. The Puritan
held her lead over the big sloops, but the
Mayaower gained upon her from the start.
After passing into the Sound spin
makers were set and the vessels
bowled along leaving clean wakes behind
them. The sailing of the Galatea was watched
with interest She towed a small boat be-
hind and carried her cruising sails, which of
course placed her at disadvantage. In the
sail across the bay she carried staysail jib
mainsail and clubtopsail and also set her
spinnaker after getting into the Sound. She
made no extraordinary exhibit in the way of
speed and was among the last to arrive.
Notwithstanding the circumstances above re-
ferred to the old yachtsmen with the feet
think the run illustrated that she will
be no match for any of our big sloops. The
time off East Chop where they ran up into
Vineyard Haven, the Mayfower beat the
Puritan minutes SIS seconds and the Pris-
ella minutes 40 seconds. Puritan beat
Priscilla minutes seconds and Priscilla
beat Atlantic minutes Is seconds. The
Sachem was again the winner in the schooner
class beating Montsuk only seconds.
The Yachts finished in this order:

The Lockout Continues.

BRocKToN, Mass. Aug. 10.-The lockout
in the association factories continues with
but little change, except the action of I. K.
Smell. a member of the association, who yes
terday arranged an individual price list for
one year with the Lasters' union. The fac
tory started yesterday, but shut down again,
owing to the fact that Packard & Grover,
members of the Manufactures association,
who furnished power for SHELLS factory, had
stopped their engine. The latter, it is stat
ed, by an official of the Lasters' union, will
be furnished with an engineer by the lasters.
There are no other assertions from the assp-
citation. 1t is understood that the executive
board of Knights of Labor would endeavor to
meet the manufacturers committee to-day
with view of discussing some means of a
settlement. The Lasters' union, however,
will not meet the employers to arrange set
Element according to the joint rules, consid-
erinR them no longer in force.

PEABODY, Mass, Aug. 10.-This morning
there was none of the mob eleme nts in the
streets of Salem and Peabody. Thomas
Burke, who was arrested in Salem for at
tempt to excite a riot, was arraigned in the
district court this morning charge of
disturbing the peace and was held in $500.
He attempted twice to escape and for
this was arraigned on charges of assault and
held in $500 more. At the Win chester tan
merry this morning non-union man, whose
name is unknown, was caught in the beam
house and ducked in tan vat two or three
times. His assailants escaped. 1t is rum
ored that the manufacturers, through the
board of Selectmen, have agreed to treat
with the Knights of Labor through the State
board of arbitration. At noon when the
"scabs' rode through the streets to dinner
the crowds were not large as heretofore
and only a few sneers and cat calls were
given.

Matters To BE Observation-Disclosures of
Existing Treaties Regarding FOrgers
And EmbeEzlers.
Boston, Aug. 10.-The registration of del
egates to the convention of the American
Bankers association to be held in this city
tomorrow and Thursday began this morning
and the registration books will be kept open
at Horticultural Hall until 5. p. m to-day
vention will be completed to night by the ex-
ecutive council. More than fifty bankers
and bank officers have expressed desire to
take part in discussions, which will differ
much from those of previous years, the
number of speakers being greater and a less
number of long addresses.
The discussion on banking progress will
be opened by Hon. w. l.. Trenholm, comp
troller of the currency, who will suggest
some remedies for various dangers of the
banking system with a view especially to
promoting financial and industrial pro-
gress of the South. The second days
proceedings will open with a discussion
OF bankruptcy. Addresses are expected
from Judge Lowell and other gentlemen who
have given much attention to the various
problems connected with the distribution of
the assets of insolvent traders and the true
province of legislation in regard thereto.
The views of several southern bankers are
expected, and will be especially interesting
as showing that the vehement opposition to
a national bankrupt law which has prevailed
in the South is diminishing in many parts of
the country, so that the prospects of legisla-
ton promise to improve. For several years,
says Mr.. Marsland, secretary of
the association, our associat ion
has been giving its attentions to the notori-
Gus defects of our international treaties I'M
der which forgers and embezzlers can go to
foreign parts and cannot be extradited, SO
one great check against crime is lost. This
defect our association has been trying to
move. We have only one method of doing
it, and that is by circulating information and
calling the attention of the authorities at
Washington to the defects of existing treat
les. We shall lay before the convention the
recent treaties with Great Britain aud Japan.
which are very great Improvements upon
anything that has been known before. These
treaties will be laid before the convention in
