AT one of the open air resorts in Clay borne
Avenue, socialist organization lately formed
under the title of Brothers of the Red Cross" +"
held meeting and a picnic, Monday.
Anarchy, Dihilism, revolt and punder were
advocated. Not policeman appeared, nor
was the meeting in any way molested. Near
ly all the speakers were from abroad, for the
reason that Chicago's oratorical revolutionists
are in Jail or under cover. Among the speak
ers were Gustave Brinke of st. Louis, and
Ernest M. Freghaum of Brooklyn. Emil
Verplank said: "What is law? Law is the
code of tyranny. What are the police? !?
They are the minions of the law. They are
the arch tyrants. God, how l exult in
Chicvgo's heroic deeds on the night OF May
4th! Would that you had been better pre-
pared and that your engines of destruction
had been more numerous. But next time
that next time which is swiftly coming, we
will tear the livery from those dogs of op-
preston and hurl their barred and grated cit
adels in the dust

was very noticeable what interest her grand
children manifested during her sickness, and
at all times; these are the children Of Mr..

YACHT RACE.
The Priscilla Wins the First Trial Race
Ofthe Atlantic Yacht Club-The Puritan
Unable to Finish Owing to the Liz ht
Wind.
New Y DIRK, June Is.

New Y DIRK, June 10.
The day chosen for the Atlantic Yacht Club
regatta did not offer the most desirable wealth
er for testing the merits of the giant sloops,
or any other kind of sailing craft, but the
race was sailed sin any weather." as the
rules stipulated. There were only light and
variable winds throughout the day, and the
breeze that did prevail was most kindly to the
Priscilla, as it swept over her stem on the
run out and afterwards shifted sufficiently to
enable the fleet to return home with free
sheets. 1t was an out and out Priscilla ga g.
and the New York boat showed her friends
that they had made no mistake in their opin-
ion that she could sail with free wind
For short time after the start when the
wind was away aft, the Puritan, that was
always beaten last year by the Priscilla, on
on an off wind did some beautiful sailing and
outstripped both the Priscilla and Atlantic,
but this continued only for few miles, and
af er that the Boston boats rivals had the
best of running
The sight in front of the Atlantic yacht
house this forenoon was most interesting. In
the first place the fleet hat was to sail was
imposing in its size. Beside the regularly
entered yachts there were several that had
their canvass up, prepared to go over the
course for amusement, and there were also
many steam yachts and excursion steamers
that also intended to follow the prize seekers.
The race was began under favorable con-
ditions except as to weather. 1t was heavy
day with clouds of moisture hanging over
head and only light wind blowing from the
northeast When the gun was fired to send
the larger boats across the line, at 10 35, the
Purita" with j Malcoli Forbes at her helm,
was right on hand. Her sails filled eagerly
and she sped into the race only few seconds
after the booming order. Of the other b :
sloops the Priscilla was next and the Atlantic
last, about 100 yards apart. The other yachts
of the fleet went over the imaginary line in a
more or less promiscous fashion, with schoon-
ers Moptank and Grayling and sloops Thetis,
Oracle and Cinderella among the first.
The yachts kept in toward Long Island
shore. As Fort Hamilton was passed the
relative positions of the boat was not much
changed. The principal difference was in
the way the Puritan had outstripped the 9TH
ers, and had assumed a place over quarter
of mile in front of the Priscilla. This was
only three miles from home.
At this point Thetis had gained on Oracle,
Grayling overhauing Montank, and the
Crocodile and Athlon were sailing at evens.
As the fleet passed Fort Lafayette, the
schooners set their mailtt pmast staysails.
Then the cloud of canvass was headed over
buoy No. 8, off Sandy Hook. The first boats
went around the stake boat, anchored off
there like this:

AN UNEASY FEELING
That King Ludwig's Life Might, with
Care, have been Saved.

LONDON, June 10.
The Standards Vienna correspondent tele-
graphs that it is impossible to conceal the
misgivings generally felt in that city that
King Ludwig was insuffciently guarded on
Sunday evening.
"A long time,' a CORE sdopdent says,
"elapsed before searchers were sent out to
find what detained the King. 1t is also felt here
that had greater vigilence been exercised the
body of the king might have been terminated.
The correspondent maintains that when
King Ludwig's financial extravaganza first
began to make trouble in Bavaria. no hint
was given thar he was affected with insanity,
and adds, "The real truth, | fear, will never
be known. Excitement here and in other
Bavarian towns is great
MUNICH, June 10
The remains of King Ludwig will lie in
state until the day of the funeral. On Sun
day the public will be admitted to view the
body.

In the heat to Sandy Hook lightship the
Priscilla passed the Atlantic. The Puritan
and Atlantic had to make, to the surprise of
ALL one more tack to round the lightship than
the Priscilla, which was handled by the
owner, Gen. Garfield. After rounding the
Priscilla shook out her jib topsail and headed
up the bay.
The wind now made gentle slant to the
eastward, The Atlantic rounded at 2 2S 10,
the Puritan at 2. 5000. Then came ''luff-
ing m tch" between the Puritan and Pris
ella Another surprise was in store for the
spectators for the Priscilla out pointed the
Boston boat as well as the Atlantic. The
wind hauled little more to the eastward
and the boats started the sheets. The Puri-
tan and Atlantic hung out their spinnakers
and five minutes later the Priscilla followed
suit This plan was found to be impractical
| BILE and all the spinnakers were taken in.
| The Priscilla was now nearly half mile
ahead. 1t mad been also found that the Puri-
tan could not out-point the Atlantic in the
| breeze that prevailed. Nevertheless the Puri-
tan bv some short tacking fore reached the
Atlantic and again took second place, still
half mile behind the Priscilla. Passing
Romer Beacon the wind began to die out
The Atlantic once more passed the Puritan.
! After that it was a drifting match. The
Priscilla was somewhat overhauled but won
easily, Atlantic second and Puritan, although
only half a dozen lengths behind, could not
get past buoy Is off Fort Hamilton which
was the end of the course, because the wind
had completely died out and so the race
ended
