Although the Vigilant crossed the line
Dast she had the greater way on her owing
TO the fact that she alone was not COM
pelled to gybe for the line aud she soon
pverhauled her opponents, taking the
lead when they were about a quarter OF
mile from the start.
All three yachts were carrying club
top-sails iibs and jib-top-sails, and the
force of the wind to the delight
of all spectators sent them heel
ing over until their rails were
partly submerged as they tore along. As a
result of yesterdays gale choppy
pea was running through the Solent
but this only served to make things
livelier and to make the racers
show their bottoms prettily as they surged
bver the green rollers. The three yachts
pt first made board toward the opposite
Shore, the Vigilant luf,ng up in
order to prevent the Britannia, which
had the weather position from getting
ahead. Meanwhile the Satanita, most
cleverly handled, took advantage of the
tuffing tactics and made a bee-line for
the Nab lightship ripping along
ut splendid rate, gaining rapidly upon
her opponents ss she made her way out TO
sea.
The commanders of the Vigilant and
Britanniy were soon obliged owing to
Satanita's surge ahead, to point out TO sea
and abandon their luffing match.
Britannia then crossed under Vigilant's
lee showing that the Yankee yacht had
not had the worst OF il in the
luffing duels. The position of the
yachts ., couple OF miles from the start
showed that Satanits had by far the
pest of il up to that point. Spinnakers
were spread TO the breezes as the yachts

SATANITA Won.

and Britannia Today.
Rn The Associated Press.


RYpE. Isle of Wight, Aug. 16.-To the
tielight OF host of yachtsmen assembled
here a fairly strong westerly breeze was
blowing this morning. This Is
the third day OF the regatta OF
the Royal Victoria Yacht Club
snd the chief event on the program was
the race for the Town Cup, valued at 1000
20 be competed for all yachts over
40 rating. The three cracks,
Vigilant, Britannia aud Satanita,
We're entered. During the early morning
hours there was some doubt whether the
American yacht would take part in to-
days racing, as il was said that she is
being carefully guarded against possible
Injury in view OF the probability that the
match race with the Britannia 10 miles to
Mindward and return for the cup offered
by Lord Wolverton, will be decided on
Saturday next. All doubts in this con-
pection, however, were dispelled by the
arrival of the white sloop of Ryde at
bbout 5 a. m.
The Course.
The course today was that OF the Royal
Victoria Yacht Club over which the Vigil
liant and Britannia have already
sailed in several races. The American
eloop gives the Sstsnita AZ seconds and
the Britannia 2 minutes, seconds time
allowance. The preliminary movements
OF the three racers were watched
with the greatest interest by the
crowds who thronged the Royal Victoria
Clubs headquarters and the pier head.
AS the gun was fired to send the yachts
eastward on their course, Vigilant was
pointing straight for the line.

IN THE OLD TIMES.
Along the Anacostia From Giesboro'
to Bladensburg.
The EASTERN BRANCH BANKS
a.
Interesting Goings On Before the
War.
NOTED MEN AND PLA CES

Written for The Evening Star.
The neglected and sluggish waters Of the
Eastern branch of today present a sad con-
trast to the bright and deeper river that
ebbed and flowed along its course in the
long ago. Picturesque and rich in scenery,
it stretched it's winding way like silvery
thread through farms, meads and mead
ows from it's source above Bladensburg TO
it's confluence with the Potomac.
On the south bank and at the mouth of
the river was the summer home of WASH
ington Young. wealthy planter. Giles
boro', with it's wealth of river views and
fertile fields, it's old white mansion and nu-
merous outbuildings, all Of the same cheer
full color, and surrounded by grand old
shade trees, was fair to look upon and a
conspicuous point on the river. During the
late war Giesboro' was occupied by the
government and an immense cavalry depot
established. 1t was the scene of many
a wild escapade by the boys in blue In
the old days a large seine was operated
here during the fishing season, and a big
catch of shad and other fish was an an
nual occurrence. In fact, the river swarmed
with the toothsome shad. and seines were
hauled at intervening points far up as
Benning There was quite a large fishing
landing at the Anacostia end of the Navy
Yard bridge, that supplied many farmers
from the back country with fish for winter
use 1t was a custom-now more honored'
in the breach than the observance"-with
the fishermen to join in a refrain when
landing their nets, and as the seine drew
nearer the shore their merry voices rang
out with redoubled vigor. and to give zest
to the occasion "a jigger of spirits" was
given to all hands round.
The Old Arsenal.
In 1903 military station was established
by the government on Greenleafs Point
designated on the map of the city as reser-
walton No. ), and the site Of the present
arsenal, or barracks. Troops were stationed
here for a while but in 1907 large shops
were erected and active work commenced
on the arsenal The original area comprised
twenty-eight acres. and in 1867 it was ex-
tended to it's present area by the purchase
of the adjoining land. In 1872 it was used
for the storage of powder, and when, in
lS1I it was destroyed by the British,a num-
Der of the latter were killed by an explosion
of powder secreted in a well. 1t was re-
built in 1915 under Col George Bomford

The history Of the United States bonds
Is interesting
The first loans ever negotiated by this
government were with foreign countries,
France, Spain, Belgium and Holland fur
nlshlng the money in several small sums.
The first issue of anything like a bond for
nome investment occurred in 1775 when
the government negotiated what were then
called loan office certificates. This scheme
was modelled upon plan proposed In the
virginia legislature ten years earlier, when
Inc Junior branch of the legislative body
OF that state proposed to borrow f24O.OOO
sterling at per cent interest. The fund
for payment OF interest and principal was
10 have been raised by an impost duty on
tobacco. That scheme was abandoned by
Virginia, but the general government re-
modelled II in ITO. Congress believed that
If a popular loan were proposed the people
would subscribe literally, and the govern
ment would raise all the funds needed for
the exigencies of that occasion. The loan
office certificates which were issued in ac-
cordance with this plan were of two kinds,
one bearing interest in specie, the other
In paper money. Unfortunately these GER
tificates We're Immediately thrown into cir
cClation, which was contrary to the eXpec-
tations of the promoters in Congress. The
fact that these certificates bore interest
induced many persons to prefer them to
paper money. Contracts were drawn re-
curing payment in loan certificates, and
they soon became the preferable medium
of exchange, depreciating the value Of the
paper currency. Finally the government
could no longer pay interest on the loan
certificates and the holders Of them were
in dismay. Many persons during the great
popularity of the certificates had sold their
worldly possessions to invest in certificates
and now found them on par with the de-
preciated currency

terest is payable quarterly, and every three

them at the treasury Of the United States

knows just what they are worth and will
pay you the interest on them. You can use
the coupons and the bonds in business
deals and their value is so well fixed that
they could almost pass money The chief
danger connected with them is that any
one can use them, and If the holder of a

them. In a recent letter / told you how
Vanderbilt once owned 100000 of these
registered bonds. Only the fewest cases
are known where such bonds have been
stolen. One of these occurred few years
ago when the Manhattan Savings Institu-
ton was burglarized by Jimmy Hope and
over SlOOO,OOO of these bonds were stolen.
In this case Congress authorized duplicate
bonds to be issued to the Manhattan In
sttution. and they lost nothing. Hope was
finally captured, and the story of his bur-
glary and punishment is one of the most
interesting chapters in the history of bank
detectives.
