SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL
SAFETY OF ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.


To the Editor or The Tribune
SIR Since you take considerable interest in the
subject of electric railways and have been publishing
communications as to their safety would like to be
allowed to say that the impression which has been
carefully cultivated in quarters about the num-
Der Of accidents is wholly unfounded In this country
alone electric roads have carried 1t is estimated,
20 600 900 passengers not single one Of whom
has been hurt. The alleged accident at Jamaica,
l.. l., where a woman scared by the dropping OF
trolly on the roof of the car is too absurd to be
seriously noted Outside of that there arc, I be-
llcve two instances In which it IS asserted horse
and mule have been killed by direct contact
tangement with large extent of conduc or that had
fallen. venture therefore, to assert that no other
method of travel in our cities show a record to
compare In any way with the electric for and
safety. In regard to the assertions Of j. Murray
Mitchell as to what the English Board Of Trade does
in limiting the potentials Of currents, must state
that he is sadly mlsnfOrmed I could mention
great many places in England where potentals eight
times high he names are in use In connection
with American systems of electric lighting apparatus.
AS TO electric railways, the English yet practi
cally without any, but where they have been tried
currents of $50 and 800 volts in use, and with
such conditions as wc adopt here in America for
safety the Board of Trade is, to its own language,
prepared TO authorize difference Of potential con-
sidcrably in of this limit, with suitable pre-
cautions" America need not go to England to learn
how TO operate electrical inventions.

THE VOLUNTEER WINS OFF MARBLEHEAD
THE PURITAN DEFEATED IN A sTIFF BREEzE-THE
XARA RrATS THE RADBOON.

KARA BEATS THE BABBcoN.
Boston, June 2S (SpecaD.-Iho annual regatta of
the Eastern Yacht Club was sailed to-day over the
usual course of the club Off Marblehead, in stiff
easterly breeze The Eastern club is the most ariso-
cratic organization OF the kind in New England and
number of prominent society people were among those
on board. There present Captain II. II. Forbes,
John Quincy Adams, John Wheelw1fght, Louis Stack
pole, G. W. Getting, A A Lawrence. j. A. Iasig, the
Greek Consul: Major Keller, Thomas C. Proctor,
Thomas S. Edmonds Charles saunders, George S.

a. l. Huntington, Charles t. Lowering, Charles L.
Young Frank Merriam, Edward S. Gresi, George b..
Chase, Joseph S. Bigow and others.
TO yachsmen the chief interest to-day perhaps
centred around the two latest samples of naval
architecture of Edward Burgess-the Babboon and the
Kara. To-day the Babboon was beaten by the Kara
In good breeze and sufficiently rough to test the
qualities of both soops.
Tho most interesting feature of tho races, however,
was tho contest between the Volunteer and Puritan
The Puritan was sailed by Captain CrocRer her old
commander and the Volunteer by Captain Half. The
cculse sailed was around equlateral triangle each
arm of which was twelve miles long, the largo boats
making thlrty-six miles and the small ones twenty
four. The entries were as follows:
Sloops-First Class: Volunteer, Puritan and Stranger
Fifth Class: Hesper, Dream Sixth GLASS baooon'
Kara Seventh Class: Iinda, Clyua-
sehooners-Ffrst Class: Gitana, Miranda, Adrenne
Third Class Diana
Tho Puritan made the first leg Of tho course In
about one hour and three minutes. The second leg
O. the course for the big boats was almost dead
beat to windward and the progress was consequently
mich slower. Soon after passing the stake the
Volunteer came up to her rival, and the two famous
Burgess sloops sailed grandly side by SIDE The
Volunteer shot ahead, and whom the second
mark was reached there ives at least two miles OF
open water between tho two boats. The time at the
second mark was follows:
Volunteer g:3I:22. Purtan--.--..-.. <'o<;oV
On tire home stretch the bic sloops made much pet
better time. The Puritan here made up some OF her
lost time the unofficial time being as follows:
Volunteer 3:i4:05 Hesper 655ss
Kara ......... 3:zS3Gl Puritau.--.....--. oioo;VV
The Volunteer made gain over the Puritan curing
the entire thlrty-sx miles of about fourteen minutes
The above tables of time are not oncal, but are
Substantially correct The entire affair was managed
exoelIently ard with that spirit OF liberafty ana
courtesy which marks all tho races condncted py INC

THE CONTRACTORS EXPLANATION OF THE "BooD-

John Keenan's attempt to blackmall Heman Clark,

preparatory and evidently begun to draw the IRE
of the defence. Mr. Clark also said that this was
simply blackmang scheme and that Keenan, was
trying to get money out Of him. big quarrel
took place between him and keenan, when Mr.. Clark
refused TO "put up the $4,000 to buy Hubert U.
Thompson's support Before that time Keenan, had
been gcl emanly and polite but whom that occurred
he unmasBed himself and became the cold, unscrupu-
lous villain that he IS. 1t then that the papers
which had been drawn up wer6 destroyed by Mr
Clark, and Keenan, said that he had DIES royed bis.
The destruction was the result OF Mr.. Hark's re-
fIsal to put up' the amount necessary to make ten
der the hearts of Hubert o. Thompson and his fol-
lowers. sin 1885," said Mr. Clark, " this firm owed
100000, and there were suits for that amount
against the company by the relatives of people who
had been killed. or these who injured, owing to
the peculiarly difficult and dangerous nature OF the
work on tho Aqueduct. We weTo IN tight fix, and /

have anything to do with the company"
