vIGILANTS SECOND VICTORY.

Those who believed that in a stiff,
steady wind the Valkyrie would outsail
the Vigilant were disappointed yester-
day but whether agreeably or otherwise
it is not necessary to inquire.
The Bristol boat more than fulfilled
the expectations of her supporters and
under conditions which were considered
more favorable for her English rival.
Over the thirty miles triangular course
she outsailed Lord Dunraven's yacht at
every point.
Her performance. all things consid-
cred, was a remarkable one. On the
first leg she gained A minutes, As Sec
onds on Valkyrie, on the second A min
utes 12 seconds and on the home reach
3 minutes aud 20 seconds, making a total
of IL minutes 23 seconds for the
30 miles. Deducting the 1 minute and
AZ seconds, which Vigilant allows the
Valkyrie, the net lead of the Morgan
Iselin flyer was 10 minutes and 80
seconds or nearly double the margin by
which she defeated the challenger last
Saturday.
1t is now entirely safe to assume that
in no condition of wind or weather will
the Valkyrie be able to outsail the Vigil
liant, for during yesterdays contest,
when the wind was fully thirty-two
miles an hour, the Bristol boat carried
her enormus spread of canvas with ease
and safety.
or course it is now reasonably certain
that the Americas cup will remain ON
this side OF the water, but Rhode ISL
anders will wait until a third race
clinches the victory before uncorking
their pent-up enthusiasm.

for all of the trouble, nor for the greater
proportion of it. The good that the re-
peal will do will be sentimental chiefly.
IL will be in the nature of an assurance
that can be relied upon 10 do
at least something for the general good,
which is an assurance very badly needed
at this time. :
What clogs the wheels of ind ustry
and makes money timid and hard to get
is the fear that the tariff laws will be so
modified rs to destroy the protection
now afforded to industry. Nothing
will suffice to allay this fear except "a
definite assurance that no revision VIII
be effected, and the Democratic adj
ministration cannot give that assurance.
This may be construed to mean that
good times will not return until the
Democrats are thrown out Of power
at the next election, as they certainly
will be-. There may be relief before
1896. 1t may quite likely be developed
that the contemplated Democratic de-
struction of protection may not ma
terialize, through lack Of agreement and
harmony in that party. This would only
be "a sop to the Cerebus of fear now in
possession of the country, but it would
mitigate the evil of the situation slightly
and make hand to mouth business some
what better and safer.
Whoever desires to base his anticipa-
tons of returning prosperity upon sure
premises must look forward to the cleo
ton three years hence. 1t is a long time
to wait, outstanding the crust the Demo-
Gratis vouchsafe us, but who can set an
earlier date without doing violence to
his common sense?

"Under the City Lamps"

Leander Richardson's m~elodrama,
Under the City Lamps" which was
presented at Keith's Orera house last
evening, is constructed n the same lines
as hat other play, dealing with the
seamy side Of metropolitan life which,
under the title of the Streets OF New
York." delighted the theatre-goers
OF a generation ago. IL has all the
characters which tradition aud custom
make necessary to a sensational stage
~story-the v%irtuous warden In distress,
the designing aud desperate will lin, the
coterie OF crooks, the unsophisticated
countryman and the valorous hero. All
these and more be sides are 10 be found in
Mr.. Richardson's gallery OF char acters.
The story itself is an interesting one,
consecuiively told and contains several
strong situations which arouse enthusi-
asm especially OF those in the upper ,rt
OF the house. The stage setting Is very
effective aud one or two Of the scenes are
unusually realistic. The ompan pre-
senting Under the City Lamps" Is
one OF good ability. Among tn ,se enti-
tied to special mention for the excellenc,
OF their work are Messrs. M.nball, Ran
some, Bethel and Ro-ers and Misses
Craig, Winte-, Sweeney and Gerald. The
play Will be given throughout the week.
