ENGLISH FAIR PLAY.

Whatever may have been learned from the
Vigants contests abroad, the spirit OF English
fair play has evidently declined. The luff'ng
matches by which the Britannia In two races
undertook to defeat the American boat ana 10
enable the Satanita TO win were unsportsnaii-
ike devices which ought TO have been excluded
from international yachting The sullcn silence
with which the Vigilant has been greeted by
English throngs OF spectators when she mas
crossed the line has not been an indication OF
good feeling or fairness. The coarse diatriDcs
and acrd structures Of the London press aimed
against the Viglant and her owners have been
discreditablc exhibitions OF craftsmanship marked
IL In contrast with the hospitality and favor
shown to London yachtsmcn when they nave
been cOntesting in American waters TOT the
tronhes of the sea. The incredulity and sus-
piciousncss revealed In connection with the dis
obling OF the Vigllapt on her last racing day
NAV well deter Ameri ,an yachtsmcn from vent
uring again TO ask for fair play In English
waters.
Is II because the English dearly love great
lord like the Prince OF Wales! Can 1t be that
# Ia regarded as n form Of disloyalty to the
Crown to believe that any yacht can nope 10
win an honest race against His Royal Highness
save by sharp Yankee tricks and unsportsnlan-
like conduct? Americans have supposed that n
representative Of their yachting fleet would ut
least have a fair chance in English waters to
show what her model and lines were worth, ana
that gentlemen who take the trouble and go to
the expense Of contcstng for the honors OF
the SOlent would have courteous treatment
as Lord Dunraven and other English yachtsmcn
have received In NewYork. Apparently they
have not made sufficient allowance for the loyal
ty of English subjects to their most popular
Prince II the Britannia were owned by some
one further removed from the throne there
might not be columns Of abuse and vituperation
In the English press. 1t might not then be
necessary to have the English pilot appear be-
fore the Regatta Committee to vouch for the
fact that the Yigilant while preparing TO enter
a race rubbed against shoal and got her centre
board out Of gear.

have received from hostile critics and regatta

SCIENCE IN BROOKLYN.

With the public exchange OF courtesies IN
Rrooklyn this evening the American Assocla-
tion for the Advancement OF Science concludes
its labors for 1894. The officers for the ensuing
wear are already determined upon, and the real
work Of the meeting Is practically compleleu'
On the whole, the session has been more sue
ccssful than might have been expected; ana II
PROMISES to be memorable In the history or
both the association and the City OF Churches.
Two causes operated strongly In restricting the
attendance: hard times and the recent wrecklng
of railway trains in the West; and the former
influence was also felt, no doubt, In the appli-
cations for admission to membership. Never
theless. the number Of persons registering as
Internationally 5OO-was above the average Tor
the last nine meetings. The dozen or so other
scientific societies which met In Brooklyn at the
same time were as well represented as usual.
And the fresh additions to the roll. exceeding 200
and including four life members, surpassed some
~ tbe expectations which had been cherished.
The professional and social standing OF the
recruits too. is noticeably high; and though, as
usual the great majority came from the region
IN which the association convened, other parts
of the country were represented strongly enough
m betoken a general maintenance OF interest.
Under the circumstances th8 showing Is favor
able one.
The character of the addresses and papers,
moreover. has been high. Dr. Brinton's inaugi-
ral talk last Thursday morning was a happy
definition of the aims and methods OF science
and Of the spirit OF the ideal investigator. Dr.
Hardness, the retiring president, while discuss
ing a topic peculiar TO his own department OF
study, did so in such way as both TO inspire
the admiration Of astronomers and to instruct
the unscientifc nearer. In the sections. II no
startling or highly important revelations were
made, the contributions at least betrayed origi'
nal research. indicated progress and excited the
manifest interest Of critical experts. 1t Is said
that smaller proportion Of papers than usual

number Of important changes in the judi
ciary article were made by the Constitutional
Convention yesterday, the most Significant behg
the striking out Of the provision for the election
of two additional Court Of Appeals Judges.
This action is in accordance with the desire OF
the present Judges Of that court, who strongly
oppose any increase In their number In the
Judiciary. Committee the vote on this PROPOSE
ton was close The Convention, after an ex-
haustiye discussion, voted 1t down by large
majority. The provision for minority repre-
sentation In the court was also defeated.
Congress Is simply waiting for the President
TO act As soon as he does so or 1t Is certain
that he will do nothing, both Senate and House
are ready to adjourn. Meantime there Is moth
Inc to do but wait. II any Representatives or
Senators think they can force the President
either to sign or to veto the bill by adopting
a resolution to adjourn this week-and 1t Is re-
ported that some Of them have such an idea
they fail to grasp the situation clearly. II an
adjournment Is taken before the constitutional
limit of ten days for the Presidents consdera-
ton Of 1t expires. the bill will be as dead as II
II had never been passed. Nothing. we imagine,
would please Mr.. Cleveland more than for Con-
gress to take this course and relieve him OF all
responsibility.
An excellent constitutional amendment Is that
reported by the Judiciary Committee to prevent
