RACE OF ICE4YACHTS.

RACE OF ICE4YACHTS!
There has been considerable talk during the last
week among New-York yachtsmen regarding the
practical challenge published in The London Field
directing their attention to the fact that the Cape
May and Drenton's Reef Challenge Cups which Sir
Richard suttons cutter the Genesta, carried homo
with her in 1885, are sim in the possession OF the
British winners. The same article, 1t Will be
remembered, suggested that in place OF British
challenge for the Americas Cup. this season DO
marked by a contest made by American yachtsmen
for these American cups now In the hands OF the
foreign opposition. The usual consequence OF such
discussions has also been the result In this case, and
the customary snfounded gossip has been published
1t has been said that beneath veil OF mystery GER
tain yacbtsmen in this city have already been MAKING
preparations to accept this challenge and bring tho
cups back where they belong. Inquiries among those
conversant with tho facts in yachting circles show
that there is absolutely foundation at the present
timo for any such guesswork, although it Is, OF
course desirable that the only proper step should
DO taken. Frederick Tams of the seswanhaka, said
10 reporter the other day that IL would cose
go 600 to take a yacht to Great Britain for the
purpose OF racing for those cups This is undoubtedly
the truth Mr. Tams also made tho timely suggestion
that, combining patriotic business with personal
pleasure, one OF our wealthy yacht-owners might
this year, with his craft visit the Paris Exposition,
and incidentally stay long enough to take away the
mugs from their present alien p0ssessors

A Dolefnl Lamentaticn

The Woodstock Virginiara gets little
muddled over the case of United States
District Attorney Allen. Judge Allen re-
signed his Office to take effect on the 9Th
of June, or when his successor is APP
pointed and qualified. This was privi-
lege that Judge Allen had. He had the
right to resign at any time, or to continue
in Office until requested to resign or was
removed. The Judge recognized the sit
uation-that Republican had been turned
out four years ago to make place for him
an officer against whose capacity and
high personal character not a word could
be said lie was removed solely because
he was a Republican. In the face of this
state of affairs the Firgiuian works itself
into condition of virtuous indignation
over the "spoils loving" Republicans and
blisters the administration on account OF ii
vacancy existing in the District Attor-
ney's office. because a Democratic incum
bent elected to resign the office, and in
vite the appointment of a successor. who
will be Republican. We have heard no
complaint against Judge Allen either as an
officer or gentleman. He is, in our esti
nation, the ablest man in the Democratic
party in Virginia-is one of the purest
men in the State-and is credit to any
office, any party or any communicated
good, indeed, to belong to the modern De-
mocracy of Virginia.
AS Judge Allen was not removed, as his
Republican predecessor had been. what
cause has the Virginidn for its doleful
plant? If he resigned of his own accord
what crime would the administration COM
nit by appointing Republican of equal
ability to succeed him ? We cannot see
the force of the Virgi,aian's lamentation,
as the matter stands. or discern any JUS
LITIGATION for its reflection on President
Harrison or the Republican administra-
tion, especially so in view of the whole
sale prescription in Virginia, practiced by
Mr.. Cleveland and Iauded by the Demo-
cratic press.

Virginia Republicans and the Presl
dent.

A dispatch from Washington to the as
ISOLATED press, dated the 18th, furnishes
the following reference to conference
held with President Harrison on that day
by number of Virginia Republicans
The dispatch says:
delegation of Virginia Republicans opposed
to General Malone, which was appointed at a
conference held in this city on the 29th OF
May, at which time an open letter was adj
dressed to General Malone, called upon the
President to-day, according to appointment.
The delegation headed by ex- Governor
Cameron Colonel Brady. member of the
National Republican Committee from Virginia
and General Grone,, chairman of the anti
hone wing of the Republican party of Virginia.
received by President Harrison and We're with
him for twenty minutes or more The inter-
view was private, there being no person other
than the President and the delegation in the
room.
Brief addresses were made by Messrs. Cam
eron, Brady. and Groner. in which the case OF
the delegation against the management of the
party's interestin Virginia by General Malone
was reviewed. The speakers said substantially
that as freemen they cOulu not submit to the
control of the Malone party in Virginia. 1t is
stated by members of the delegation that in re-
plying to the remarks addressed to him the
President said t. at he did not think 1t was part
of his functions to undertake to settle party
disputes; that so far as he was concerned he
did not intend TO give recognition to any one
faction in the party. and that he had expressed
the same views to u delegation of Malone Re-
pnblicans which called on him yesterday.
The President said that he earnestly desired
harmony and party success in Virginia and
disclaimed in positive terms that he had ever
SAID that the appointments in Virginia should
be made only on General Mahone's recom-
mendatiOn.
AT the conclusion of the Presidents remarks
the delegation Withdrew to its headquarters at
the Ebbitt House. much pleased and express
ing themselves 8s entireiv satisfied with the
result OF the interview. The c. mmunication
hHnI,o nI0 Il
to has lot been answered by him nor its recep.
ton acknowledged.

VaIoahyo Real Estate for Sale.

We direct attention to the ADVERTISE
ment of Mr.. ]. II. Shelton, Of valuable
real estate, at private sale. The farm is
one of the bast in Nelson county, and at
the price named is as cheap as dirt. The
fruit alone on it is nearly worth the
money. The land is first-class and the
neigborhood excellent. The mountain
land is believed to bear valuable minerals.
1t is in the range of the tin mines of Irish
Creek and certainly carries good iron ore.
The price asked for these tracts of lar is
next to nothing, considering their intrinsic
value. and the party purchasing will fiGd
that he has gotten a bargain, and big
bargain at that, for the amount of the in
vestment.
Address Mr. J. II. Shelton. Massie $
Mills, Va, for further particulars.

Home for invalid Printers.

The international Typographical Union
met at Denver, Col, on the 10th. On the
third day several propositions for the es..
tablishment of home for invalid and in
digent printers were submitted to the
meeting. The committee to which they
were referred reported unanimously in
favor of accepting the proposition sub
mitted by citizens of Colorado Springs,
who offered eighty acres of land near the
city as free gift. on condition that a
home be started within two years and COM
pleted within three years. The conven-
ton, amid much enthusiasm, by rising
vote. adopted the report of the committee.
both because of the value of the land and
because Colorado Springs is the leading
heath resort of the country for lung
troubles. This is a good movement and
ought to be given practical effect by the
printers of the United States.
