mark hove in sight the wind became
SO light that both yachts seemed almost
dead In the water, their sails hanging
limp and lifeless to the spars. At 1;25
the wind again hauled to the southwark
and the Vigilant took in her spinnaker,
followed by the Valkyrie five minutes
later. The wind now freshened con.
siderably, hauling at the time more to
the southwark.
When the Vigilant ran for the mark
it blew whole sail breeze and she
luffed around in fine style. The course
from the outer turn had no windward
work in it at all but was really close
reach as both boats had the wind o little
forward OF the Team, it having canted
to the southwest.
1t was straight sail in smooth sea
and both yachts made remarkably quick
time, very few of the excursion boats
being able to keep up with them. The
Valkyrie showed herself TO be speedier
boat on this point of sailing.
There was not o change of sail on the
reach home, and it was evident that the
Englishman was rapidly gaining on the
Yankee and would have overtaken her
had the course been a little longer.
Though the official record show only
gain of three seconds for the Valkyrie,
Sne Balneu at least three minutes but
after the Vigiiant had crossed the line.
the wind suddenly died away from a
fresh breeze to light air, 30 that the
three minute gain of the English cutter
was reduced to thirty seconds within o
distance Of one fourth OF mile.
Though the day was perfect and the
American boat gained an honest victory,
it was not steady wind from start to
finish and therefore not fair test Of
the two boats.
1t is fair to presun that the Valkyrie
may win Mondays race if the wind
blows steady and strong. Following is
the official sum mary of the race.
Course, fifteen miles to windwsrd;
Vigilant wins; corrected time, min
utes, 48 seconds.
Mondays race will be around the

HARMONIOUS MEETING.
Democratic Executive Commit
tee Plans for the Campaign.

Inc OemOCratlC executive committee
for the city held a meeting last night at
Hotel Lee which was presided over by
Chairman E. r. Wood ward. The secre-
tary, R. j. Eckloff, acted in the capacity
of his office. The following members
were present.; Coleman, Duggan, Huff,
Hough, Huntington, w. a. Carr, Davis,
Hanna, Wiley, Peters and Hart. Every
disagreement and apparent breach in
committee and party was settled salts
factorily and harmoniously. The mem
bers fell to work in harmony and were
almost enthusiastic.
Tho committee appreciates the fact
that they were elected by the people to
lead the Democratic party Of the city.
they realize the gravity OF the situation
and have gone to work in earnest. The
campaign was thoroughly discussed and
arrangements were made to organize
clubs under the auspices of the execu.
tive committee.
1t was decided by the committee that
mem bers not attending the meetings
regularly would be asked to resign and
their places given to men who would
work. The financial part of the cam
paign was discussed and some plans
formulated to raise funds for the use of
the committee.
The special committee will make
special effort to have large number of
voters present at the public speaking to
be held at the old Opera House Tuesday
night. when Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and
probably Judge Waller R. Staples, will
make addresses on the issues of the day.
Other prominent speakers OF the State
will be present. The members OF the
executive committee will occupy seats
on the stage.
In order that there might not be any
lingering dissatisfaction felt a motion
was made leading to the healing of any
differences that might have existed, and
upon recorded vote being called for, it
was carried unanimously. Several of
the older members of the com mittee,
who have been prominent party workers
in the city from it's foundation, said
that this was tho most harmonious COM
mittec meeting ever held in Roanoke.
conservative Democrat, who is a
close observer of the political situation,
told q TINES reporter yesterday that the
Democratic majority would be as large
i'll Roanoke and the district as it would
be If there was no opposition. That
the few Democrats who would vote the
mongrel ticket would be counter. bal
anced by the apathetic Democrats who
would be drawn from the polls by this
show of opposition.
In 4 conversation with several Popu-
lists yesterday reporter was informed
by ono of the most prominent ones that
the statement made by some of his
party that the Third ward, of this city,
would give majority of 500 was folly.
He said the Populists would have cause
to congratulate themselves il they got
500 votes in tho city.
