GOSSIP OF THE YACHTSMEN.
Divided rs to the Merits of the VAL

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Thc Evening Post
says that the Valkyrie will be laid up on
this side of the Atlantic for the winter.
Discussion OF the result of the race was
very warm to-day. Yachtsmen were very
divided in opinions about the true result
of the great race in its bearing on the old
controversy between keel and center board,
the unfortunate accident TO the Valkyrie's
light sails and the jamming OF the Vigil

sons. that would otherwise have
been so satisfactory, impossible. To
add TO the other factors throwing
doubt on the result was the fact mentioned
Monday by Mr.. Kerr. that the Valkyrie's
mast was sprung on the beat out and that
this was the reason why the cutter was
unable TO set her balloon jib top sail on
her club top sail running home, as the
Vigilant did. Lord Dunraven's expressed
opinion that the cutter would have won on
her time allowance had his spinnaler held

her board trailing in the water that should
have been snugly up In the trunk when she
was running home. 1t has been special adj
vantage OF the American type that the
board could be raised when II was not
needed to give stability TO the Yacht. and
IL is regarded by the advocates of the
board as only fair to give this drawback

the two boats yesterday.

Sturm, in the case of Sturm against Baker
& Co., produced a telegraphed version of
the petition, the failure to produce which,
yesterday, threw them out of court
for day. The petition was read by Mr.
Butler. and but little attention, was
paid to 1t by the court. Until the purely
formal facts were reached, when. Chief
Justice Fuller very impatently told Mr..
Butler that he had read enough. Mr.. But
Ter, on account of his deafness, did not hear
the Chief Justice, and continued to read
until he was stopped by the repeated re-
quest of the Chief Justice and the whispered
desire of his associate counsel. Chief
Justice Fuller then ordered that a
certified copy Of the petition be procured
and filed as soon as possible Mr.. Butler re-
sumed his argument where he left off yes
terday, and continued for something over
an hour with Interruptions and questions
by Chief Justice Fuller, Justices Brown,
Gray and jackson. During the whole argu-
ment the Justices paid strict attention and
frequently consulted about the case. ALI the
Justices seemed more or less testy over the
difficulty which they had in making Mr..
Butler hear their questions. At one time

Butler concluded the case was argued By
Judge Claypool and attorneys Baker and

One incident that occurs to me is a little
adventure l have had with python, a
snake of the Molurus tribe, in my own gar
den in Colombo. One evening ! was smok-
ing the veranda after dinner. 1t was
cloudy night, but the air was perfectly STILL
What seemed to be the branch of tree
was lying across the carriage drive, and as
j noticed it l wondered how it could have
fallen when not breath of wind was stir

a while / went down to throw Ii aside out Of
the path. But the moment stopped over
it the object seemed to melt away.
Amazed and half doubling the evidence
OF my own eyes, 1 took step in pursuit
but the instantaneous contraction of the
whole body, ready for a spring, and the
danger L in. Each staid without the
movement Of a muscle Ior about twenty
seconds and then the snake imperceptibly
disappeared. One long sigh Of relief and a
dart into the house that beat the record
for a twenty-yard sprint closed the pro-
ceedings for me that night. Had / by mis-
take laid the slightest touch upon the crcs-
lures body the probability is that within
less than half a minute | should have been
reduced to a shapeless lump of pulp and
broken bones. Rescue would have been i'm
possible. Providence was merciful 10 me
that night.
Soon after we found that the python had

there was no getting at it, One night a

room, and the room next to hers was occu-

two rooms was open, and suddenly the lady
saw a large snake come in at the window,

where 1t might alight. a moment later IL
fell, with loud flop. on to the floor. OF
course, IL had disappeared by the time they
had recovered from the shock and called for

Out of the Peterson matter grew the at

RUSSIANS FETED.
Banquet to the Visiting officers on n
French Ironclad.

TOULON, Oct. l. - Admiral Avellan, in
command and the officers of the Russian
fleet are being splendidly entertained.
Numerous congratulatory kilograms have
been received from France and Russia.
This evening Admiral Avellan was present
at banquet given by Admiral Boissoudry
on board the French battle ship La Formid-
able. The tables for the most prominent
guests were placed on the after deck of
the Formidable, that part of the
war ship being covered by an awning and
handsomely decorated with French and
Russian flags, flowers, ferns and coats of
arms, while the huge war ship from stem
to stern, was daZzlingly brilliant with the
sparkle of almost countless electric lights.
Admiral Boissoudry presided at the cen
ter table, which was set that the
French admiral had his back to the big
gum which was inscribed with the words,
'Honneur Eft Professionalism 1S91-Tou-
Ion 1893"
The Matin, OF Paris, publishes inter
view with Admiral Avellan, during the
course of which the Russian commander is
quoted as saying that he was touched with
the heartiness of the cries Of "Vive lie
Gar" coupled with ''Vive la Russia"
which he heard all sides since his
rival in France. Continuing, Admiral Avel-
Ian is reported to have said that as he was
on the eve of his departure from Russia the
Gar expressed to him his great and pro-
found sympathy with France.
