FOR THE GOBLET CUP
The Race at Newport Sailed IN
der Favorable Conditions.
SEA FOX AND TTTAEIA WINNERS

A Fresh Southwest Breeze ana $50
Yachts In the Harbor-The Contest TX
citing Throughout katrina Loses the
sloop Race Through Encouragement.
Sea FOX wins Easily.
NEWPORT, r. l., Aeg. 10.-The Goelet
cup race was sailed under favorable con-
ditions. The wind was fresh from the
southwest. Over $50 yachts were in the
harb0r. The Electra steamed down
through east channel to her station OPP
posite Brenton reef lightship, where the
sea was very smooth and the wind con.
stantly freshening.
The Block Island course, which was
selected by tho committee, was about
thirty-seven miles from an imaginary
line drawn from the Electra to Brenton
reef lightship, to and around q mark
boat northeast from Block Island light,
distant about two miles and due east of
Block Island buoy about one mile, thence
to and around q mark boat about two
and one-half miles west, so west from
West Island light and finish over q line
drawn as for the start, the mark boats
70 be left on the port hand.
Tho Alert and Katrina Lead.
The starting gun was fred at II a. m,
and in less than eight minutes after all
the competing yachts had crossed the
line. The Electra waited for the Gorilla
and Marequita, which had q race to the
first mark boat and return, the Gorilla
winning by 90 minutes. The Dauntless
carried away her jibstay and returned.
The Katrina led the sloops, and the
Alert had the windward position over
the schoeners, though the Grayling led
the other schoOners and was apparently
ahead OF the Alert, as the Electra passed
Point Judith.
The Titania was gaining on the Kat
rina, having perWptibiy decreased the
advantage at the start.
The Katrina BADLY Handled.
About :05 the Sea Fox and Grayling
had very interesting brush, resulting
in the formers favor. Meanwhile the
wind had slackened and the Alert was
losing her advantage and the Sea Fox
led the schooners. The yachts were
making good time and had got well to-
gether by the time the first mark boat
was reached, when the Katrina was
blanketed by the Grayling, falling away
leeward so far that she had to make q
short tack to round the mark and allow
ing the Titania to pass her to windward,
being badly handled besides.
The Sea Fox set spinnaker after round
ing, and the Titania in following her ex-
ample carried away o fly spinnaker
boom, losing the advantage just gained.
The Katrina set hers all right and
gained rapidly. Capt. Half, however,
had the boom spIiced quickly and even
tually won the race for his boat.
The Finish.
The order of the leading boats around
the second mark was, Sea Fox, Constel-
lation, Katrina and Grayling. A heavier
sea and wind prevailed from here to the
end of the race. Katrina and COnstel-
lation were both badly handled coming
around the stake boat, and this mistake
beat the Katrina.
The winners are the Sea Fox and
Titania.

BIGGGsT PIECE OF IiEATHER.-In the
northeast corner window of Tiffany's big
building, Union Square, New York, has been
put on exhibition the largest single piece of
leather ever tanned. Il is the hide of the
elephant Chief F'orepaugh, a beast which
was only second in size to Jumbo. The
skin, which has much the color and appear.
ance of ordinary leather, has been placed
upon framework erected in the window go
that il baDgs down on either aide for seven
or eight feet This elephant when alive was
ten feet six inches high ard weighed five and
half tops He was wicked pachy yderm,
and vas generally credited with The murder
of at least seven men. Chisf was forty years
old when he met his death and he had bsen
in America for nine years. having been pur-
chased in Germany for S., ,000 The tanning
of the skin took five months, and every time
the skin was turned in the vats it required
the united strength of fifteen men to accom-
plish the work. The skin, aside from the
fact that it was the largest ever tanned, is
the only elephant skin ever prepared In
America. After having been exhibited for
time the leather will be cut up and used
in the manufacture of travelling bags, dress
ing cases, &c.

The New York LOngacre.

A correspondent wants to know why
the vicinity of Broadway, from Fortieth
to Fiftieth street, is called "Longacre. :"
The reason Is because there are a great
many carriage makers there. Some of
the largest carriage manufactures in the
world have chosen that locality, either for
stores or factories. The name comes
from London, where there is u locality
known as 'Longacre, which is noted as
the centre of the carriage trade, and
naturally the New York locality got the
same name in the same way that a good
many other London names have got
settled in New York. There is one diff
ference. however. In the London Long
acre the streets are rather narrow, while
in the New York Longacre the streets
are wide. At the junction o. Broadway,
Seventh avenue, and Forty-second street,
the street becomes very wide. The
carriage makers settled there when the
land was not so valuable as it is now.
The origin of the term "Longacre" in
London goes back to antiquity.
