THE BALLOON CYCLE.
The Latest French Army Means of Carrying
 War Dispatches.

The Latest French Army Means of Carrying
 War Dispatches.
 There fioated over the hamlet of Vii. leneuye Ia Garenne the other afternoon in midair a balloon. Suddenly it ap- peared to burst and fell rapidly toward the earth. Fearing that disaster had occurred, the terrified folk ran to the spot Ut which they expected the aerostat would reach the ground, when to their amazement they saw parachute detaeh itself from the car and descend gently. Immediately the earth was touched one of the passengers jumped upon small bicycle which he had brought with him from the aerial regions, and he disap- peared i'll the direction of Levallois, in the neighborhood of Paris, as rapidly as the machine could carry him.
 The explanation of this singular oe. eurrenee is simple. The balloon was the Caliban, and the ascent was made from Levalleis by Captain Capazza and M. Hervieu, the latter being the cyclist. Their object was to test the possibility of a balloon being used for carrying wal dispatches, and they assumed that an enemy succeeded in destroying it. Yei they proved that by means of the para chute they would be able to make good their escape and to outdistance their pur, suers with the aid of the portable bi. cycle. London Telegraph.

THE late New York constitutional convention proved to be as much of partisan machine as if it had been an ordinary Republican Legislature, with full caucus trimmings. The apportionment is a gerrymander, arraigning the rural districts againsts the cities, and with the usual preferences to minorities. Partisan politics taint almost every thing that was done.

The Field Advocates Fixing an In
ternatiOnaI Yacht Rating.
CBy Associated Press)

: LONDON. Sept. 15.-The Field re-
prints an article from The Forest and
Stream, which advocates limiting the
length of competitors for the Americas
Cup to seventy feet on the water line.
The Yacht Racing Association com
mlttee has been discussing the matter
of limiting the rating of large class
yachts, and an attempt to revive sixty
raters has been suggested.
The latter class, however" says The
Field, has never been fortunate, and
1t proceeds to advocate the eighty-rating
class, which would accord with Ameri-
can views on the subject and afford a
fine opportunity of having a fleet of
eIghty-raters from which TO choose an
American Cup challenger or n Victoria
Cup defender.
AT all events 1t would be well. now
that there is talk of international rules,
to get an international classification as
well. In fact, this Is quite as important
as the rating rule. and the sooner ne
gotiations are opened with the New
, York and Continental yacht clubs the
better"

| in their action. Taral was certainly the
cause Of the foulng, but II is not be
licved that he intentionally crowded
Havoc into the fence. Connoisseur and
Owlet were in front and there was
space enough for Havoc to get through.
Sims started for the opening, when
Taral crowded Owlet over to the rail,
thus forcing Havoc TO pull up in order
to save n fall Taral, as a rule, rides
fair, and II seems rather harsh punish
ment to set him down for the balance
