August, 1886, at Monmouth park. In this

place Shortly afterward he ran first in the

There were eight entries for this event He
made one more race as 2-year-old, finishing
second TO King Fox.
The next year Dryer Bros bought him for

won thirteen races out of eighteen, defeating
such horses as Barnum, Firenzi, Volante and
other crack flyers. As 4-year-old he won

Two Records Broken,

The first open handicap athletic games Of
the National Gross Country Association Of
America were held recently on the grounds of
the Staten Island Athletic club. The track
and jumping path were, considering the day,
in first rate shape Very few thought any
records would be broken, but two did go,
however, and in one case the record breaker
was rewarded by winning the race, which is
rare in handicap competition
George Schwegler, Staten Island Athletic
club, lowered the record in the $50 yard hur-

the title of champion in point of attendance
at its home games. At the sixty-niue cham

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, AUG. I6, 1854
SHIPS IN SIGHT.

In President Harrison's little speech at
Bath, on Wednesday last, a grand and
patriotic policy was reiterated, namely, the
rebuilding of our mercantile marine. The
President said: SIN every way that 1
properly can, whether as citizen or as a
public officer, 1 shall endeavor 10 promote
the rebuilding of our American merchant
marine and the restoration of that great
carrying trade which we once possessed in
every sea-"
OF course, in such a city as Bath, which
has been built almost entirely by its ship
building industry, President Harrison could
have found no more popular declaration to
make; but we hope and believe that the
speaker was not solely actuated by the de-
sire TO tickle the ears of his audience. Sure
ly by this time it has become clear to
statesmen of both parties that the nation
urgently demands the restoration of its
shipping trade. That party which re-
establishes successfully the carrying trade
under the stars and stripes will also estab-
lish itself in the hearts of the people. As
yet neither party has got beyond words. As
far as platforms and speeches go, the Re-
publican party has set itself squarely in
favor of aiding American shipbuilders. We
take President Harrison's latest utterance
to mean that Congress will put this policy
into action at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity.
There exists no good reason why our
Legislators should not concentrate their at
tention upon this most important matter.
There is no question before the American
people to-day of equal importance. The
prosperity OF the country and its peaceful
relations with the rest of the world leaves
the field clear for the laying of the founda-
tions of an American mercantile marine
that shall resume her rightful share in the
carrying trade OF the world.

THAT GIGANTIC STORM.

While the report issued yesterday by the
Secretary of Internal Affairs relative to the
recent floods in this State does not contain
any news to speak of, it confirms officially
what has been generally understood as to
the exceptional severity of the storm which
Immediately preceded the Johnstown catas-
tAophe. The report will be found in
another column of this issue, and deserves
careful reading.
The storm of May 80 and 81 covered a
greater area than any recorded previously by
the Signal Service. From Illinois to the
eastern limits of Pennsylvania the rainfall
varied from two to four inches, and on the
Allegheny Mountains and the valleys sub
tending toward the East, an oval area equal
to 1900 square miles, the rainfall reached
the unheard of magnitude of eight inches,
which turned into weight amounts to $780,
$4,000 tons. We are not surprised that the
compiler of this report remarks
that 'In all respects the conditions
were the most remarkable and peculiar of
those known to attend a general rainfall,
and the vast masses of water thrown down

Pennsylvania only add to the difficulty of
explaining the origin of the storm, or the
source from which so great body Of water
can have been derived"
1t is hardly necessary to point out that
the Government report will be utilized by
the members of the South Fork Fishing
Club when their share in the responsibility
for the breaking of the dam shall be deter
mined in the courts.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

The Clan-na-Gael of Chicago went in for
picnics. speeches and long resolutions yes
terday. There would have been only one
picnic, one set of speeches and one resolu-
ton if the order had not been split into two
factions over the DR.. Cronin murder. The
friends of the murdered man met in one
place, and the anti-Croninites in another
More or less distinguished statesmen ad-
dressed both assemblages, and the resolu-
tions drawn up after the speeches in both
cases abounded in patriotism and good
sense. If the order sticks as a whole to the
principles expressed at the picnics yester-
day, it may do good service to the cause of
Ireland and avoid ofense to American in
stitutions.
The concurrence of both factions of the
Clan-na-Gael in asserting their loyalty to
: the land of their adoption, in denouncing
the murder of DIR. Cronin-naturally more
vehement among his friends-and in dis
claiming any desire to interfere with the
peaceful plans of Parnell and Gladstone
for Ireland's liberation, is agreeable to re-
mark. Steadfast adherence to a policy of
this color will surely keep the Clan-na-Gael
from injuring itself and its friends.
