SCENES At TEE WIND-UP.

Intense Interest Around the Spot Where
the Boats Were TO End the Great In-
ternational Races.
If the yachting public had known that
yesterdays race was going to be the
greatest, the closest, and the most ex-
hilarating aud exciting contest Of the
series, there would probably have been a
bigger excursion fleet But no kind
prophet appeared to announce that the
race was going to be worth seeing, so
there weren't as mauy excursion boats
to follow the racers as on the. previous
days
Perhaps it was the cloudy weather
that had depressing effect upon the
boats, for there was very little Of the
footing and whistling that sped the
racers on their way on previous days.
Something of the kind was noticed at
FIRST on board the st Johns among the
members of the New York Yacht Club
and their guests. The Vigilant was
going to run, of course, people said, so
they sat around below and chatted. The
Valkyrie's behavior aroused some inter
est, which lasted in mild way until the
stskeboat was passed. Then it looked so
like a sure thing for the Valkyrie that
the yschtsmen went below again.
1T is walkaway for Dunraven, they
said. Better luck next time.
Presently man came flying down the
cabin stairs, describing concentric circles
IN the air with his nat and field glass,
and shouted that the Vigilant was ahead.
The next minute the stairs TO the upper
deck looked like the exit from theatre
after some one had yelled fire. The crowd
swarmed up on the deck they clRmbered
up on the pilot house; they gathered
around the smokestack; they thronged
the roof of the cabin; they perched on
the rails, maintaining themselves peril
ously by means of somewhat uncertain
stays; they even ran up the ratlines and
hung on with their teeth while they
pressed their field glasses to their eyes.
From that time on there was DO lack OF
excitement on board the st Johns.
When the Vigilant ran over the line
and it became q question of the Nalkyrie
winning on her time allowance, there
was a fine display of god watches.
Every man kept bis head bobbing back
and forth between his watch aud his
hopera glass, and the crowd on the Tailings
began 10 bob 80 rapidly at the finish that
they strongly resembled line Of tip-up'
on a telegraph wire

JUDGE CANNON has RESIGNED.

The Orator who Spoke in Delaware
Last Fall Gives Up the Presidency
OF the Irish National League.
CHICAGO, Oct IA M. V. Cannon,
formerly Of Omaha, but now per
manently located in Chicago, has resigned
the Presidency of the Irish National
League of America. Although the
notice Of his withdrawal as executive
was formally presented to the Execu-
tive Committee of the League two weeks
ago, IL was not made public until
yesterday. It is authoritatively
stated that the acceptance Of
the resignation at this critical
period in the fortunes Of
the Liberal party across the ocean would
be to give semblance of truth to the
rumor that the league had outlived its
usefulness. and was about to be dis
banded. Eerein is the foundation for
the statement that Mr.. Gannon's resig-
nation was deliberately suppressed. It is
also matter of discussion that the real
reason for Gannon's withdrawal from the
league was his expressed disgust with
the anti 81 adstone and other malcoDtents
in the league. Mr.. Cannon said yester-
day:
with no pronounced principles ol
organic law existing in the very founds
tion of the league. how could there be
any incentive or motive for the collec
tiOn here Of money TO be used in the old
country. Funds could not be distrib-
uted TO either one side or the other. be
cause OF this lack Of defniteness. I'm
thusiasm could not be aroused. II be
came palpable TO every observer here
that the Parnellites ana anti Parnellite:
could not be brought together. They
stood together and voted for Gladstone
measure in the House of Commons, but
even that did not bring toem into the
same camp. There was the secret of the
inenition
'It is very evident that something
must be done TO get the league upon The
right lines, otherwise it will 60 out o
existence think that perhaps in mid
winter an attempt will be made by tbos'
in power to call a convention and &
endeavor to reorganize and rehabilitat'
the league l will take no further activi
pat in the management or details Of tn'
league"

WAsHIEeToN, Oct a. Many quiet

the length OF the daily sessions and
the probable compromise on the silver

four different lines on which a compro-

by the Democrats is reasonable, even IL
they cannot support it, the silver men
