And greet the garnered grain.

Once more the two crack yachts tried
yesterday to settle the question Of suprem-
acy. and once more the owners and the
many thousands Of others who were inter
ested in this great contest were doomed to
Disappointment 1t seems altogether too
bad that out of four attempts to make a
race two should have turned out failures
on account of an insuffciency Of wind. 1t
was thought that inasmuch as Vigilant had
already won two races yesterday might
mark the the close of this international
struggle and leave the Victoria, or, as il
Is more popularity called, the America cup
on this side of the Atlantic; but all such
hopes went astray, and the race simply
deSenerated into drifting match. There
Is out slight consolation in the knowledge
that when the time limit expired Vigilant
was leading Vslkyrie by about half a mile
Dunraven himself. who is a true English
sportsman. and game to the last, had ex-
pressed the hope that the race might be
one that would be decisive as to the merits
OF the two classes of yachts, with a fair
wind and no favor. In this hope he was
seconded by all who have come to admire
this typical Briton for his tenacity and en-
terprise. Yesterday was clearly not Dun
ravens day. for one of his string of racers
was ntered for the Cza-ewitch stakes
which was run OF at Newmarket, and the
earfs colors were confidently expected at
the fore. but in this he was again disap-
pointed. As for the America cup. it is evil
dent that the English have not given I'D
all hope of winning it back, and probab bly,
they never will. for even before the Vigi-
lant-Valkyrie race is finally settled the
owner Of the yacht Irex has announced
that he viii build yacht to challenge for
the cup next year in case VaIkyrie be de-
fsated- Americans will give Mr.. John
Jameson the same welcome that they gave
and earl. and will try to meet him as they
have Dunraven and all the others vino have

coveted trophy.

1t might easily be supposed that the gen.
,ral public has not even the smallest amount
Of interest in the illuminants used In rail-
way postal cars. but, as a matter of fact,
there are good and sufficient reasons why
the average man should give an occasional
thought to that apparently unimportant
subject OIL lamps are now used, and these
have caused many fires and resulted In the
destruction of considerable quantity of
mall matter. Aside from this danger which
threatens at all times and Is certain to ap-
pea in case OF collision or deraflment much
damage is done the mail by contact with
split oil. and the wonder is, not that so
much harm Is done but that the injury Is
not greater. The Railroad Gazette says
that the officers of the railway mail service
have several times recommended improved
arrangements for lighting postal cars, their
first preference being for electricity. But
electricity Is hardly available as yet, al
though it Is not easy to understand why
great expense should be attached to the
operation Of dynamo In the baggage car
Of each train. II electricity is not now at
tainable the mail service folks would be
content with gas. and as very many trains
are gas-lighted and very we'll lighted at
that, 1t ought not TO be difficult to extend
the system so that IL shall include the
postal cars. OIL lamps are most assuredIy
out OF place IN rapidly moving vehicles
where the NEST Industrious of public SER
wants are employed and In which are con-
veyed tremendous quantities of valuable
mail matter. Gas. stored in easily charged
and sufficiently capacious reservoirs is now
making brilliant the interiors of the Broad
way cable cars in New York. The light
given Is Of decidedly superior quality, and
the improvement Is much enjoyed by the
patrons of the road. These improvements
have a local application. New street rail-
roads or extensions of the old lines are
probable in the near future, while at least
one company proposes to re-equip It's road
with modern motor. Let us hope that the
extensions and bette-ments, when they
come. will cast the malodorous oil lamp into
an outer darkness of even greater intensity
than that which Is now such painful
feature in many of our street-cars.
