| point can afford The purpose OF the
Stockton road will not be so much to
make large dividends to stockholders as to
open country to trade. The distributing
point that can supply a given territory at
the least cost will get its trade.
The race between the Prince of Wales
yacht, the Britannia. and Lord Dunraven's
Valkyrie settles very little, except that
these two cutters are superior to the other
starters, including the famous Iverna.
Light wind prevailed over most Of the
course, but there was breeze enough at
the finish to bring down spars and snap
the bowsprt of the Valkyrie, and so the
Prince could not help winning. If there
be any intention of sending the Valkyrie
across the Atlantic to compete for the
America cup there is slender possibility
of the prize being carried away. 1t would
make an intere sting match to have the
Britannia enter but that is a pleasure
scarcely probable. The royal owner is
more likely to content himself with racing
in British waters and he may have his
nephew. the EMPEROR, as a rival. But he
would make cOmmotion socially If he
would revisit America and see the changes
that twenty years have wrought.

The little furry produced by portentous
announcements manufactured to order
that the Southern Pacific and the Pacific
Mail were again coming out at the big end
of the horn with the Panama Railroad
Company has been quite dssipated by as
surances from New York that romance is
not yet superior to fact The Panama
Company is resolved 10 abide Loyalty by its
bargain with the North American Naviga-
tion Company. Our merchants have only
to keep the steamers well supplied with
cargo, going and coming, TO clinch their
reciprocal arrangement firmly. So far the
new departure has proceeded in the proper
busness-like spirit. and no hitch need be
| apprehended because few steamers be-
longing to the Mail Company are chartered
on the other side of the isthmus, as is pos
sible. 1t is long since business men had
| terms so easy In transportation Is they now
enjoy through their own exertons and
loyal good faith to one another. To slacken
those eXertions or in any way to go back to
former dependence would bring its punish
ment in reimposition of burdens against
which protests are vain without competi-
tion.
1t may now be assumed that the fair at
Chicago will be open on Sunday. good
deal OF wrangling has taken place on the
subject and good deal must follow, but
the Chicago managers persist in taking all
consequences cheerfuly. The National
Commissioners have adjourned until July
/. and unless an injunction can not only
be procured. which is doubtful, but made
operative, which is more than dou btfu,
the gates will swing open as usual, and
most OF the buildings will be free to vis-
itors. Some of the State buildings are to
be closed. notably Pennsylvania's. Resi-
dents of Chicago are less affected by this
change than people at a distance. The
Saturday and Sunday tripper is certain to
make run to the fair from distances of
hundreds of miles around. This is what
the obJecting religious denominations will
complain of. The reply may be that many
people have no other opportunity.
The once redoubtable j ohm l.. Sullivan
has been fined 500 for assaulting a lawyer.
This is a mere trife for so grave an
cffense were it not that the lawyer was in
his company and had the imprudence TO
consider himself the better man. Mr..
Sullivan is we'll acquainted with the con-
sequences of these brawls. He is to the
manner born when inflamed with LIQUOR
and the desire to show the power latent
in his fists. AS the ex-champ pion has re-
tired from the ring he might also say fare

The engineers may be supposed to know
what they are doing in proposing to raise
sunken vessels by Initiating air bags of
rubber in the hold, but success will not
come hand over hand. A company mas been
formed in New Jersey to engage 10 this
enterprise. Ordinarily holes are stopped,
the decks closed, and the water is pumped
out. some fioatage being also obtained
from barrels. But in this case the water
