plenishing of these reserves accounts for
our enormous exports and active foreign
market at present. The AgricuEt1,1TSt's s
returns indicate the total wheat crop for
1892 as 4S4, ,434, 600 bushels. 1t claims that
the area of wheat has been greatly ex-
aggerated. the yield per acre underesti-
mated, and the total crop reported at 5 10

REGISTRATION IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Oct. SO.-Yesterday was
the last day of registration in the State.
j is believed that when all the lists are
handed in the total number of votes reg
lstered Will not fall short of 800 900. The
registration in this city was 309, $50,
against 2S6,642 in 1888. In Brooklyn the
lour days registration was Isl, SOS, against
15G, 1914 in 1885
The Democratic managers hoped that
$4,000 voters would register IN New
York and 10000 in Brooklyn. If so
they predicted Democratic majority OF
$4,000 in New York, Kings, Queens
and Richmond Counties. The Repub-
Hcans had great success in registering
their volers in the interior of New York
State. ii they can get them to the polls
on election day their majority may be
$1,000. This is what they are expecting.
General Harrison's majority in New
York State above Harlem Bridge was
$4,000 in lSS8. Good judges believe the
contest will be very close-perhaps 900
votes will decide the election.

ment will assume that | am the chal-
longing representative of the opinion of

the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1887 stated
that new deed would be fatal to inter-
national racing, it spoke for US all. The
conditions have not changed. / am per-
fectly certain no challenge will issue from
us according to the terms of that deed
We object to the deed as unfair in the
abstract. L am unwilling to do anything
that can be construed as implying that
we think it fair in the event we are chal-
