NAVAHOE WON,
Royal P. CarroIrs Big sioop Captures the
 GoeIet Gap.

hnyai +. Sarroiis fSig Sioop Captures the
 GoeIet Cup.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 1I.-Royal P. Carroll, owner of the sloop Navahoe, is wcalthicr taday in the possession of a sil- yer cup valued at $500. Mir. J. K. Max we'll, who owns the schooner Emerald, has q much larger sSp under the same condi- tions valued at 1000. These two facts, coupled with the certainty that lovers of yachting both in and out of society in Newport have passed a most enjoyable day, tell the story of the long anticipated Goelet cup races.
 It was great day for Newport and proved to be the samo for the New York first. There was wind. and there was none, and then came a wind which final ly developed into first class sailing breeze. After this there was plenty of fun. There was not a little disappoint- ment that MT. Forbes did not enter the Volunteer in the sloop class and in this way give the experts a chance to see ber against tho Navahoe. As it was the Nav ahoe had u walkover, but delighted every body by her fine showing.
 In the schooner class there was closer work for the Emerald, us both the Ariel and Marguerite were at her heels at the finish
 The sloops went over the course as fol lows according to the corrected time: Nav. ahoe, 4:17:5O; Queen Mab, 4:57:39; Wasp, 5:l2:26; Gloriana, 5:I7:I5; ndorim, 5:57:i2. The schooners covered the distance as follows: Emerald, 4;34:32; Marguerite, 4:4s:45; Ariel, 4:49:06: Constellation, 4: 5i: S6; Mayfiower, 5:01:52; Merlin, 5:03:50; Elsie Marie. 5:20:3i; Shamrock, 5;21:26.

DROUGHT IS BROKEN.

Come cticut Has Copious Rains Except
 in the Northwestern Part.
 The usual weekly weather report issued by the New England weather service shows that the long drought has in geneaal been broken. The bulletin says in part:
 The drought has been broken in Connecticut, except in the northwestern part of the state, where very little rain came this week. Corn shows improvement but will be late in many fields. Fruit prospects are more encouraging. Pas lures had gotNextremely dry and much feeding had to done from the barns.
 The hay crop was secured in remarkably fine shape, very little of it getting ripe. The weather was excellent for harvesting and the hay was secured with less labor than usual. The quality of the crop was apparently never better and the quantity is far from deficient in any section. In Fairfield and New Haven clover crop was gathered and timothy and redtop were mostly in good yield. A late report from Greenfield Hill for last week states the loss to onion and potato growers by the drought will be many thousands of dollars many acres of onions being unit to pull without having any that will grade above small.
