YACHTS AT THE raImBLEs.

The Annual Cruise at an End and tho
Fleet isbands-Seabelle and Acme to
tho Eastward.
STONY CREEK, Aug. 9.-The feet of the
N. q. Y. @. arrived in Port jefferson last
night after slow run against q strong tide
The captains met aboard the flagship to de-
eide on the run for to-day and adjourned to
the Vixen to celebrate her victory over the
fleet In the run from Greenwich. Capt.
Rawson and his friends entertained their
guests in royal manner, and each guest left
hoping that the Vixen would hereafter beat
every boat except his own.
As several of the owners were anxious to
reach New Haven or adjacent points for Sun
day it was decided to run for Thimble Islands,
thessstarting point of the cruise, and there
disband. Accordingly at 500 this morning
the starting gun was fred from the Seabelle,
and with a strong Southwestern behind them
the fleet started down the Sound. The wind
freshened and soon a big sea was running,
making an exciting race. The Flora's size
helped her and she arrived FIRST. The next
two boats, Seabelle and Vixen came for the
buoy together, and the Seabelle was the win
ner by only few feet. The run was remark
able in that the time between the first and
last boat was only about eleven minutes,
showing very close sailing, as the run was a
distance of nearly 2S miles. The yachtmen
met for the last time aboard Commodore
Seymour's Seabelle at 8 o'clock, and parted
with many regrets after the most pleasant
cruise enjoyed for many years.
The Seabelle goes to Newport and New Y.
Bedford, starting Monday morning. She
will be accompanied by the Acme as far as
New London, having OF board Fleet Captain
NJ. R. Durham and family who will cruise up
Gardeners Bay. The Marguerite and MARI
eta also 90 to the eastward Monday.

THE CAmP MEETING.

Drawing 60 q Close-Fervent Exhor-
tations-votcd 10 Erect q House for
ths Janitor.
The camp meeting does not lag in interest
or attendance. Thursday was a notable day
on the encampment. The weather was per-
fsct, the grounds in perfect order. The audi
ences were large, filling all of the seats and
more. The collections were also large, and
the preaching excellent. The singing was
probably as good az was ever heard on the
encampment. There were msny Hartford
people there. II Is to be regretted both for
their sakes and the meeting as well that so
many had to return on the evening trains.
The new board of trustees met at p. m. and
organized as follows: President, r. g. Hib-
bard, New Britain; vice president, E. 8.
Clapp, Windsor; secretary, John NJ. Parker,
Hartford; treasurer, William f. Damn, New
Haven.
For several years there has been a desire
expressed that the association should build q
house to be permanently occupied by jan
itor for the protection Of the society and pri-
vate cottages. II was said that II this was
done many new cottages would be erected.
At the trustees meeting, after full discus
sion, IL was voted to erect one, and q build
ing committee was appointed and house
will probably be erected before the close of
the year.
The morning sermon was by Rev. DR..
Pitblado of Hartford, who held the closeat
attention of large audience. Many of his
membership were present. In the afternoon
Rev. A. H. Wyatt of Bristol delivered spe-
cislly interesting and thoughtful discourse.
Thursday evening, Aug. Q, 1899, Rev. DR..
Thomas Hanlon of New Jersey preached
from Eph. ", 8, 1871. The text represents
q very exalted religious experience. 1t ex-
horted to full conservation to God, consecra-
ton of ones energies, business capacity. OF
prejudices and conservation for service. The
sermon was practical and stirring. The ser.
vice which followed was the most marked Of
any during the encampment. Rev. Levi P
Perry of Middlefeld exhorted after which 81
or 40 presented themselves ss seekers fol
pardon and full salvation. The meeting be
came informal. Singing, praying, requests
and shouts of triumph mingled with holy
enthusiasm that attracted the people to the
altar and held them until after 10 o'clock.

which Confronts BridgepOrsers-How
VIII They Ever Get a Big New De-
pot.
Our little and enterprising neighbor,
Bridgeport, seems to be puzzled over the
new depot question, which is beginning to
intrude itself on public attention there. 1t
is puzzling matter owing to q collision of
property interests between the Consolidated
and Housatonic railroad systems and owing
to other complications. A whole hornets
nest of difficulties arises as the question Is
considered. The Standard shows the situa-
lions a. follows:
The Consolidated road meets with puz-
cling matter In the Bridgeport situation and
II IL not easy to see how the problem 10 to be
solved. The twenty foot strip on which the
depot now stands, and which will como into
possession of the road soon, Is inadequate to
the necessities Of the situation, and yet
where can any additional land be had. Then
both the Naugatuck and Housatonic roads
own rights of way along this depot front
which must be taken into consideration when
ever any new move is made upon this site.
The consolidated road owns the machine
shops north of the depot as far up as Grit
fth e McElroy's pork packing house, but the
Housatonic road comes in here and cuts off
access to portion of that property 30 that
without the concurrent action of that road
nothing could be done in the direction of ex-
tending the depot site north. An elevated
track would require some such depot facili-
ties as those in Hartford, but for this the
ground now owned by the railroad is made
quate. A removal of the depot south, to .
spot near where 1t was formerly located,
would be met by the opposition of all who
own contiOuoua nronertv and vou1d ha oh
build q road through North Bridgeport and
plant its most important depot up there,
there would be the same trouble as regards
pleasing the public, who would be generally
very much inconveniencsd, while travel
would be diverted from its present lines and
property largely effected thereby.

UNFORTUNATE ANNA COOLER.

Unable 60 Defend Herself she IL
Thrown Upon Cruel World.
Poor Anna Gogler's lot IL indeed an nm
fortunate one II the story of her trials, Is
told by her friends, is true. She 10 not over
seventeen years of age, and the shocking
ordeal which she has been through during
the past week has completely broken her
down. Mrs. Whistler, who keeps the board
ing house on Olive street where she has
been employed, Is full of sympathy for the
girl. She says she has the utmost conf
dsnce in Annals story and does not believe
that she has wilfully done anything wrong.
She says, however, that she will be obliged
to discharge the girl, because her bosrders
demand II. According to Mrs. Whistler,
Anna hasn't strong mind and whatever she
has committed that her father seems to take
offense al Is no more than the result of in
experience with the ways of the world and
girlish giddiness. Her father and step.
mother have turned her from home and told
Mrs. Whistler that II the girl left her present
place they would not receive her. AIMS
persistently denies that she has
ever stolen anything from any plaos
where she has been employed. She also de
MES the other offenses which her fathe'
charged her with In court. A friend of tht
girl said last night do not believe that
Anna Is guilty Of anything that would justify
the cruel way In which she was used. A te
forging certificates and attempting to steal
watch from one Of her employers, 1t II bsurdl
for the girl, to my mind, 10 too young and
Innocent to know enough 10 plan any such
work. She Is now In Q most forlorn condi.
ton, homeless and almost friendless. Several
persons who have become interested In her
sad case have tried to save her from the fate
which seems to stare her In the face. We
believe the girl means we'll and that little
consideration for her youth and weakness
would 90 her salvation. Mrs. Whistler, al
though she trusts the girl herself. h forced 10
discharge her. Unless she hnds another no.
sition very soon she will be thrust uppn :
hard and heartless world without q place to
lay her head. =

"The sojourners on Block Island are sleep
ing under blankets nightly, and are not an
noyed by the song of the mosquito. Blue
fishing and mackerel fishing are good"
So says an exchange. But it was not thus
at Madison the past week. At the shore all
was well, but inland -words fail to tell of
horrors which fell upon small New Haven
party who assayed to camp out in the woods
oser night. They smoked pipes to keep off
the mosquitoes, but the buzzing insects were
not dismayed, and de6ed smoke and flame.
They beat the air in desperation; they slew
mosquitoes by the thousand and still the
song of the "varmints" was increasing. New
myriads took the place of the dead myriads.
The battle was kept up until 8 O'Clock in the
morning, and at the first glimmers of the
daylight, efficient to enable them to thread
their way through the trackless woods they
folded their tents like the Arabs and stole
away-hut OIL not silently. They filled the
air with imprecations on the whole mosquito
race, and spent next day in bathing their
wounds
