Yachtsmen and Their Craft Take Kind
Iy to Strong Breezes-The American
Yacht May Have Been Too Heavily
Spared.
LONDON, August 8.-The week racing
of the Royal Victoria yacht club opened
today off Rgde, Isle of Wight, where the
club house is situated. The yachts en-
tered for the cup, valued at $500, given
by the Earl of Desart, vice commodore
of the club, were the Satanita, Britannia,
Navahoe and the Calluna. The course
over which the race was sailed was SO
miles long. The wind was blowing a
moderate breeze from the east southeast.
The Navahoe got fine start and went
away in the lead, with the Satanita, the
Britannia and the Calluna well punched.
1t was beat out of Spithead, and at
the end of seven miles racing the
Navahoe gave way to the Britannia and
Satanitia.
The order of the yachts eight miles
out was: The Britannia, the Satanic.
the Navahoe and the Calluna.
After racing Is miles the Calluna
passed the Nayahoe and the Satanita and
took second place. the Navahoe being
slightly ahead of the Satanita.
The wind held moderate from the east
southeast, and half the distance over the
timings were: Britannia 1.09.53, CAL
luna l.15.4O, Navahoe 1.16.12, Satanita
1.17.04.
The Prince of Wales boot in the race
outbeat the Navahoe in all points of
sailing. The Britannia finished first and
the Navahoe second. The times
at which the contestants fin
sam, 33s; Navahoe, 3h, 58m, 23s; Satan
Mr.. Carroll is, on the whole, satisfied
with the Navahoe's performance, but
considers that she will be generally beat
en- by the same British cutters in strong
winds.
He has no anxiety for her success in
moderate or light winds, and thinks that
perhaps he mistook the strength of the
wind and rather over canvassed her in
some matches. But he saw what sail
the British yachts were carrying and
wished to see if he could not do the
same.
He thinks that what is usually termed
a strong or heavy wind in America is re-
garded as a whole sail breeze in England
and is treated as such by yacht shippers.
He has not much hope of winning the
Royal Victoria gold cup, or the Brenton
Reef or Cape May cups unless the breeze
should be such as to allow the Nayahoe
to carry a backyard topsail comfortably.
Under such conditions he would have no
fear of the result, which would be, he
thinks, that the Navahoe would win
easily.

him over to the sheriff as ordered by
Judge Mitchell. Officer o'Connell paid
and was discharged.
Mr.. O'ConnelE was asked few ques-
tions by the court, but failed to let in
any light on the problem as to who tam
pered with the liquor. Mr.. O'Connell
testified that he put the liquors in ques-
ton in the marshal's storeroom, and that
was the last he saw of them and that
was all he knew about them anyway. He
had no key to the room. and he had no
idea how the alleged adulteration took
place. He attempted no other defence.

james Black Who Was Beaten and Robbed
Takes His Own Life.

Eastport, August s.-James Rlack of
West Lubec committed suicide this
morning by hanging in the barn. He
was the old man, who with his sister was
so terribly beaten and robbed of his
savings year ago last June and for the
commission of which crime, Howard
Parker and James McIsaac, Jr., were
arrested last month and are now in
Machias Jail awaiting trial. The beating
the old man received and the loss of his
money doubtless unsettled his mind and
led him to take his life. He was 73 years
old.
