Three Swift Steamers Competing Between
Queenstown and New York.

Three Swift Steamers Competing Between
Queenstown and New York.
LONDON, August l1th-The ocean racers
started off in fine style from Queenstown
on Thursday. We must now wait until
the result is csbled from New York. Thou
sands of pounds are laid in private betting
here, principally by Americans abroad,
who take great interest in the race. Sim
gularly enough all offer large odds in favor
of the City of New York against the leu
tonic. In a group OF Americans in the
Metropolitan Hotel smoking room last
night, one offered G100 to 9i0 against the
Teutonic, and the offer was increased to
any amount in like proportion that the
Teutonic would never beat the City of
Paris record. This gentleman was on the
Teutonic On her trial trip to Portsmouth
and based his bets on engineers talk.
eamboatmen, who watched the Teutonic
during her run down to Portsmouth, say
that while she is splendid vessel, 1t is not
in her to equal the City of Paris speed.
The Inman people claim that the City of
Paris has not shown yet what she really
can do do, and say that before the season is
over she will lower her present record at
least ten hours. The City of New York,
the City of Rome and the Teutonic left
Mersey almost at the same time and
steamed down to Queenstown in sight of
one another The City of Rome arrived
there first the City of New York second
and the Teutonic last. In getting away
from Queenstown for the open sea the leu
tonic was two hours behind the others. be-
cause she had to wait for the mails. The
City of New York had only two sacks of
mail special mailed by people who had
faith in her getting out first, while the
Teutonic carried 700 mail bags.
The time of each steamer leaving Queens
town was: The City of Rome, 10 A. NJ; the
City of New York, 1:30 P. NJ and the leu
tonic, 2:05 P. NJ They all left amid i'm
mense cheering by the crowd on shore.
When the Teutonic was fairly off she
plunged through the sea at full speed after
the two vessels ahead of her, which were
fiying westward, and the way the foam
was flying from her bows increased some
what the faith in her. There is no doubt
that the commanders will force the utmost
speed oct of each vessel.
The Teutonic carried 24S saloon and 55S
steerage passengers and a crew of 332
hands. making l,l3S. Aboard the City of
New York there were $50 cabin and zoo
steerage passengers, about the same as the
Teutonic; with such firemen as they have
been able 70 get during the strike. The
engineers will not be able to get the same
speed out of the ships as though they had
old hands.
Sir Brougham Lock, Governor of Vic
toria, and his family, Sir Lyon Playfair
and wife, the Countess of Selkirk. the Dow
ager Countess of Shrewsbury and Victoria
Vokes are on the City of New York. Sir
Julian Goldsmid, Lady Goldsmid and
daughters, W. G. Rockefeller and family
are on the City of Rome.

In response to request from the Herald,
the editors of several of the most promi-

opinions as follows:
Liverpool Courier In spite of all that
has been published expressive of sympathy
with Mrs. May brick and of the continued
doubt of her guilt. there are welcome indi-
cations that the excitement Is cooling
down, and that sober reflection is reassert-
ing itself in position which had Temporal
rily been usurped by passionate fury. Fac
titious agitation will, no doubt, go on, and
| fresh developments may be expected. The
| monstrous assumption that the Judge acted
| as partisan bigot, and that the jury were
twelve men in whom ignorance and inhu-
msnity reigned supreme; was bound to be
disregarded as untenabe and is already be-
| ing repudiated.
Sheffield 7elegraph: Mrs Maybrick is
| the latest idol of class of people who went
wild in their idolatry OF Jessie McLaugh-

Dundee AdUertiser: The verdict is lust
but Go not oppose the movement for a re.

! Newcastle Chronicle: The verdict should

The case shows ve.y clearly the necessity

"BAD WORt, SOCIETIES.
An Interesting Nov Inent to Suppress
Profanity Among Youth.
From the New York Star.

From the New York Star
Bad word societies are the latest institu-
tions at several of the city schools They are
destined to do a deal of good that is of a nature
that generally lies beyond the reach of teach
ers. There are few Fairgrounds attached to
boys schools in this country where language is
not constantly used which would grieve and
astound the mothers of those who utter and of
those who hear them. The rules of the Bad
Word society are usually not written down;
but they are something like this: "One cent
fine for every bad word spoken: every bow to
report his own badwords to the treasurer and pay
up; no telling of any other boys bad words; the
money to go to the shOOl library"
This IS simple and practical. Perhaps the
scheme might be enlarged a little so as to
include the grOsser forms of bad grammar
such Il done it, them cabbages, :" and ..you
was" II Is highly absurd that the boys who
have been going TO a grammar school for years
should violate the most rudimentaI laws of
grammar every time they speak ten consecu-
tive words.
But the main point is to destroy the habit of
polluting the mouth and eorrupting the heart
by the Use of words which they call bad. -
livery boy knows what they are. for no one
can keep beyond the sound of them They
POLITE the air of every street and are heard
more or less wherever and whenever there is a
company Of boys playing together. They
partly Cause the dread that mothers feel whe n
they see their little sons going for the first
time to a BOYS school The mothers watch
their boys departure with a mixture of pride
pleasure and apprehension. and turn away
from the window at last with sigh. because
they know that few older boys yet realize
what duty they owe to younger ones in the
way OF good example.
