BANGOR Belfast Lough) July 1G-
The big event of this. the first dav's
racing Of tho regatta of the Royal Ul-
ster Yacht club, was the contest for the
County Down cup, open TO yachts over
forty rating, aud in it the American
sloop Vigilant and the British cutter
Britannia alone competed. The cutter
Carina was entered, but was with.
drawn, as she had no possible chance
against the two crack racers,
The time at the finish was: Britain
mia, 4 80. 12; Vigilant, 4 40 45.
The uncertainty il regard to the al
lowance that tho Vigilant gives the
Britannia made it impossible for the
spectators to accurately determine
how much the Vigilant had been de-
tented on corrected time. They merely
know that the British yacht had van
quished the center boarder by one min
ute and thirty-three seconds actual
| time.
English vachtsmen have reversed
their opinion Of the Vigilant. They
admit that she had much the best Of
the race and seemed to be sure win
ner until the wind fell They believe
that the great sea room at the mouth
Of tho Lough was in th9 Vigilanps ia

in the light breezes. There was not q

ALBANY, July 16 Governor Flower
today commuted the sentence Of death
passed upon Elizabeth Halliday to i'm
prisonment for life. and filed the lol-
lowing memorandum:
"The defense was insanity, and the
evidence to establish it was very
strong. DR.. Selden II. Talcott, medical
superintendent of the Middletown
State hospital, and DR.. Henry E. ALI
son, medical superintendent Of the
Mattewan State hospital, both men Of
great experience, testified that she had
at different times some years before the
homicide been under their care as an
insane patient, as which time she was
unquestionably insane, and that they
had no doubt that she was insane at
the time Of the homicide.
"Three commissioners, appointed
since the trial, have, after a careful ex-
animation. filed their report, stating
that in their opinion she is insane.
Under these circumstances, l do not
think her fit subject for the death
penalty. 1t will be much safer to
commute the ssntenceto life imprison-
ment,"

1t was known that he was blown in
that direction.
His companion, Boyle, was hurled
300 feet, The mangled lirsless body
came in contact with high fence.
The force of the explosion carried q

the bloody scene.
Caller. the fGrrier, was riding in the
second column behind the artillery.
The shot and shell, which hurled him
to the ground bleeding corpse, en-
tered his head over the heads Of the
troopers in the front ranks. Part of the
leaden shot which tore through Callers
head took off half of Kane's ear. Lead
and wood pierced the body Of Fred
Lott, the wheel horse driver nearest
the exploding ammunition, and killed
the animal.

four horses drawing the second gun

ward on the grass and oil instantly

soon after. His master had been blown

NEWSl AND NOTES.

President Cleveland's financial
scheme is well characterized by the New
York Tribune as little better than a
thinly disguised plan to revive the old
Democratic state bank system.
Even if "a complete reform of the
currency system is necessary" as Mr..
Cleveland is quoted as declaring, no stu
dent of our financial history will venture
to hope for any satisfactory work in that
line from Democratic Congress or a
Democratic Commission. There are
neither figs on the thistles nor grapes on
the thorns this year.-New York Tribune.
Poor Secretary Gresham is accused
of laundering again, this time for leaving
the American Legation at Pekin without
protection. 1t has been a frightfully
thorny path which Judge Gresham has
trodden in the State Department. 1t is
worse than any number of reversed de.
esiOns.

of organized labor was lost at Pullman

Alwaxs a CIrnr For a Friend.

Ny friend Brown, who goes into society
as she exists, says he is acquainted with a
man who keeps a box Of cigars for his
friends, and nearly every cigar in the box
is different from all the rest. The man
doesn't smoke himself. For a long time
my friend Brown was good bit puzzled
to account for this curious combination Of
the weed and once asked the society man
about it, but beyond meaning smile he
got no answer Having discovered the
source of that apparently inexhaustible
supply Of queer cigars at last my friend
Brown fastened to relieve my anxiety SO
that might tell the rest of the world.
You see," says my friend Brown, "he
doesn't smoke. Well when he is offered a
cigar, don't you know, he takes it. See?
When he is out to dinner, you know, he
takes a cigar every time the box is passed,
dye understand, and, by Jove sometimes
two or three, you know! He manages this
way to worry along on 500, 900 year-oh,
yaas, by Joye, it's SO Internally mean, you
know! And when you smoke his con-
founded cigars picked up that way, you
know, you really don't know, you know,
what you're getting. Seer"
And my friend Brown grew quite indig-
nant about it and thinks it ought to be
exposed. so expose it, This thing of be-
ing expected to smoke the flag end of other
peoples dinners is a social outrage

A Colossal Harm,

The largest harp ever made, 50 far as is
known, was that invented and construct
ed by NJ. Veritan, provost of BurkIi near
Basic. 1t was known as the gigantic me-
neurological Holian harp. 1t was 800 feet
In length and was erected in the garden of
its inventor in 1887. This harp consisted
of Is iron wires, 800 feet In length,
stretched between two poles. The wires
were from two to three inches apart, the
largest being one-sixth of an inch in thick
ness and the smallest one-tw twelfth of an
inch. They were placed in the direction of
north and south and inclined in such
manner as to form an angle of from 20 to
30 degrees with the horizon, being stretch
ed by means of rollers properly disposed
for the purpose. Whenever the weather
changed, the wires sounded with such
loudness that it was impossible to go on
with concert in the house. The sound
sometimes represented the Kissing noiso of
water in rapid ebullition, sometimes that
Of harmonicon and sometimes that of
distant chimes or an organ.-BrooklyD
