The Mayffower Again Ahead.
NEWPORT (R H., August 12th.-The race
| from Vineyard Haven 10 this port yester-
day promised at first 10 be the most inter
esting run of the cruise, but fogs spoiled
! it. The yachts started under shortened
sail. They crossed the line in the follow
ing order: Wanderer, Fanny, Dauntless,
Puritan, Mayfower Montauk, Atlantic,
Crusader, Oracle, Halycon, Vivid, Dead
naught, Meranda, Athlon, Sachem and
Priscilla. The wind was strong enough to
make the old Dauntless bury her lee rail
in the form, and to cause the Sachem to
house her foretopmast. 1t was nearly 10
o'clock when the last boat crossed the line.
AT 10:15 dense fog closed down, shutting
out all view of the racers. AT the same
time the wind began to moderate, and all
hopes of a lively race were dashed to the
ground. 1t was not until Brenton's Reef was
reached that the fog lifted. The Electra had
not long dropped her anchor inside of Gov
ernment Islam when the sails of the May
flower were seen coming in by way of Fort
Adams Gradually nine of the other
yachts came struggling in. The Mayfiower
reported that she had sighted the Puritan
in the fog off Sow and Pigs lightship, and
she had put back to Noushon. The
Sachem passed inside of Brentons Reef
ightship in coming into harbor instead of
staying outside, as the other yachts did.
Altogether, it was the most unsatisfactory
run of the cruise, but the Mayfiower was
ahead The fleet dsbanded last night. |
The cruise was one of the most successful ,
! the club has ever had. Citizens of New
port have offered 81 900 cup for a race at
Newport. after the international races,
open to the New York fleet and the
Ga,atea.
Cuttings Case.
Ell PAse,. August 18th Cutting was
again taken from his prison and dragged
before Judge Castaneda's Court. He was
merely told that the appeal taken in his
case by the lawyer who had been appointed
for him, would be tried by the Supreme
| Court of the State of chihuahua, in few
days, and he was asked if he desired to
| have an attorney to take care of his inter
ests before that Court. He replied, as he
has always done before, that he did not
| recognize the jurisdiction of any Chi
huahua Court, and that he left his case en-
| tireiy in the hands of the American Gov
ernment. He was thereupon taken back
to prison. The Chihuahua authorities
continue to ignore entirely the diplomatic
entanglement resulting from this case.
