THE BRITANNIA WINS AT THE
ROYAL CLUBS REGATTA.
The Navahoe, American Challenger
for Several Cups, OutsalIed by
Her British Rivals.
Special to the REcoRp-UNIoN.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
LONDON, July 3l.-The regatta of the
Royal Yacht Club took place to-day. The
course was from the boat off the club
house at West Cowes. Isle of Wight, east
ward around the Warner lightship, west
ward to the buoy marking East Leep
Shoal, passing north of Norman Fort.
The course was sailed over twice. The
weather was beautiful and the Solent was
was filled with pleasure craft of every
description. There was fair breeze
from the northwest and the yachts got
away in capital style.
The boats that took part in the race
were Royal Phelps Carrolls Navahoe,
Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie, J. Jameson's
Iverna, Prince of Wales Britannia, A.
d. Clark's Satanic and B. n. Donals CAL
luna.
The starting gun was fired at 10 o'clock,
and under full sail, the yachts made for
the line. The Valkyrie, with Lord Dun
raven on board, was the first across, the
Iverna, Britannia with the Prince of
Wales on board, Satania, Navahoe and
Calluna following in the order named.
At the beginning of the race the VAL
kyrie drew away sharply from the other
boats and the Navahoe seemed to lose
slightly. The wind freshened on a rising
tide, and the Navahoe, with everything
except the spinnaker set, began to haul
upon the leaders and was soon leading,
the Valkyrie two seconds behind. The
Navahoe continued to gain slowly, and at
1850 was leading the Valkyrie ten seconds,
the Britannia a close third.
Great interest was manifested in the
Navahoe, which is the American chal-
lenger for the Victoria Yacht Club cup,
the Brenton's Reef cup and the Cape
May cup.
When the yachts started on the second
round the Navahoe got over the line eight
seconds ahead of the Valkyrie. The
Britannia was the third to cross, one
minute later than the Valkyrie. Then
followed the Satanic, Calluna and Iverna
in the order given. The Iverna got away
ten minutes behind the Navahoe.
On the secoDd round the Britannia and
Valkyrie overhauled the Navahoe. and
the Britannia finished first, the Valkyrie
second and the Nayahoe third.
The race for the Queens CUP will take
place tomorrow. The Navahoe is dis
qualified in this race, owing to the fact
that the owner, Carroll. is not mem Der
of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
The Britannia finished one minute
three seconds ahead of the Valkyrie,
which was one minute twenty-six Sec
onds ahead of the Navahoe, the Satania
fourth and the Calluna fifth. The Iverna
gave up before the race was finished.
The time Of the first three yachts was:
Britannia, hours, 46 minutes, 15 seconds;
Valkyrie, 8 hours, Al minutes, 10 seconds;
Navahoe, 8 hours, AZ minutes, At seconds.
The Navahoe was tried on all points of
sailing, and came out of the trial in a
satisfactory manner for the first perform
ance. 1t is evident the Britannia and
Valkyrie will have their hands full every
time they meet the Yankee, if she can be
improved in small degree. The Brit
annia and Valkyrie fairly and squarely
outsailed her to windward.

bills which will be presented when Con-
gress meets viii be that of the relief
of William McGarrahan, the famous
claimant against the New Idria Mining
Company, which has been pending since
1857. In the last Congress the bill passed
both Houses to allow the claimant to go
before the Court of Private Land Claims,
but President Harrison vetoed the meas
ure on the ground that he had not the
time to consider its merits
a new bill was prepared covering the
objection made by the President and it
passed the Senate on the day Of adjourn
ment of the last Congress. When pre-
sented in the House a motion was made
to pass it under suspension of the rules.
A similar request never having been made
for private bill, Speaker Crisp declined
the request on the ground that the time
was limited for the transaction of public
business, and the admission of a private
bill would establish a dangerous prece-
dent.
In case the bill is signed allowing Nc
Garrahan to go before the court in ques-
ton he must show that his grant is valid
and carries with it the right and title to
the mineral lands. If he wins ne must
show how much the New Idria Company
has taken out of the mines. By the
treaty with Mexico the United States is
bound, in addition to returning him his
property, to reimburse him for the min
erals taken out, less the expense of ex-
traction and the improvements on the
land.
