THE YACHTS AT MARBLEHEAD.
The Wind Is Very Light and the Cor
inthian Race Is Weak.

Inc Wlnd Is Very Light and the Cor
inthian Race Is Weak.
MARBLEHEAD, Mass, August "a, 1882
12:31-The start in the Corinthian Yacht
Clubs midsummer regatta has just been
made, nearly an hour and half behind
time. The wind is very light.
The start was good one in all classes,
but the wind was hardly strong enough to
show the respective qualities of the
yachts to good advantage. All the larger
racers had club topsals set. In the forty
foot class the Tomahawk soon drew away
from the Chiquta.
The Alice and Minerva had q pretty
tight brush at the start, and at one time
the Wheatland boat was overhauling the
Scotch flyer in good style. The Minerva
soon shook her off, however, and went
away at pace that promised well for
victory.
The Alice went on her usual "fiuking''
expedition shortly after the start. An in
teresting race began among the thirty
footers, in which the Kathleen showed up
to the best advantage She was third at
at the start, but soon oveFhauled the
Saracen and Shark and led the feet.
She was showing splendid gait when
the yachts went out of sight. The Sara
cen soon dropped to third place and the
New Shark went away to the rear. In
the smaller class the Agnes soon passed
the Wanda and the Swordfish began to
draw up nerr the head. The Gorilla ar
rived on the ground just as the race
began, too late to start.
1:30 p. Mall the yachts are now out
of sight in the haze and the chances are
that they will not be seen again until
nearly home. There is little prospect OF
the breeze freshening.

LONDON'S MERRY WAR.
1t Is All About Muzzling Dogs and Taxa
ton without Representation.

tiOn Without Representation.
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, August "a, 18S9.-The London
County Council are showing their teeth
to the imperial government in a way that
portends trouble. Having declined to un-
dertake the enforcement of the Dog
Muzzling act, for the reason that they
have no control over the London police,
who must do the work, they are now
equally determined to resist the attempt
of the Privy Council to have the work
done at their expense.
Against this proposal they raise the cry
of taxation without representation" and
altogether the fight is Il reminder of that
in the American colonies, which ended so
disastrously for England something over q
hundred years ago. London. probably,
won't go the length of a declaration of in
dependence, but local feeling runs very
high and the problems raised will not
prove easy for the government to solve.
The County Council at their meeting
yesterday passed resolutions refusing to
grant funds for the enforcement of the
act The original question of the wisdom
of muzzling the dogs, which was recently
quite an exciting topic of discussion
throughout England, is now entirely lost
sight of in the clash authority which
has grown out of it. The quarrel is be-
ing watched with keen interest here.

was given at the Centreville Skat-

COMMUNICATED
The Postmastership.

In your local column of Saturday you say
that three reverend gentlemen of this city,
and others, whose names you do not men.
tlon, called recently upon Postmaster Gen.
eral Wauamaker, and gave him certain rea
sons why Mr.. L. w. Corbet should not be
appointed postmaster. Now, the writer is
a personal friend OF that gentleman. and
though being consistent democrat, he has
always voted against him because of what
he considered his erroneous political opin-
ions; and as personal and political friend
of Mai Herbert he desires his retention at
the postoffice, he would very much like to
know land be thinks the public in general,
also. would) what those reasons were. AS
ministers Of the gospel lin this part of the
country at least) are not accustomed to lead
in political matters, and as from the stand.
ing Of those mentioned the reasons which
prompted them thus to take a conspicuous
part against Mr.. G. must be assumed to be
very grave ones, 1t is surely not asking too
much to request that they be made public.
Everybody has an interest In the matter,
and if Mr.. Corbet can be shown to be mani
testify unfit for the place he seeks, there
should be q general protest against his ap.
pointment; but the fact that the DIRECTORS
acknowledge that they were msintormed
as to one of the principal charges they made,
when they could easily have ascertsined its
falsity by a little enquiry before making it.
induces the writer to think that they may
be mistaken on other points. He has known
Mr.. Corbet from childhood, and though he
has no favors to ask of republican admins
tration and has. therefore, never signed, or
been asked to Sign, any accommodation of
him, be has no hesitation in saying that if
Maj. Herbert is to be removed, Mr.. Corbet
has all the necessary qualifications and
would make as good postmaster as could
be appointed FAIR PLAY.
