How the Duke of Wellington Trtied with
Great Danger.
One day the Duke of Wellington's French
cook came to him for orders.

tiently. Il never think of what put into my
stomach"
The chef was Mortified Whether Wellington
was punished with indigestion not, history
does not tell. One thing Is certain. People
who don't care what they eat soon find them
selves unable to eat anything at all without
agony. Their offended stomachs go on strike.
Natural digestion ceases.
What is to be done, then? one cannot 1--we

TO RACE ON JULY 5.
Vigilant and Valkyrie Then Meet
on the Clyde.
All the Big Yachts Come Together
on juiy 16 and II.
No Challenge from the American
for the Gold Cup.

GLASGOW, June 23.-It has been
definitely settled that Vigilant and Val
kyrie will engage in their first contest
on the Clyde on july 3, as neither yacht
will be got ready in time to race at an
earlier date.
Vigilant, Valkyrie, Britannia and Sa-
tanita have been entered for the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club Regatta, which will
be sailed on Belfast Lough on July l6
and II. The schooner-yacht Lasca,
owned by Mr.. John +. Brooks. OF New
York, has been entered for the cruiser
race In this regatta.
Vigilant, Valkyrie and Britannia will
probably enter the Royal Cork Yacht
Club regatta on July "a.
The match race between Britannia
and Vigilant. which, as already cabled,
has been arranged to take place at
Cowes during the race week at Good
wood. in the early part OF August, will
be sailed over the Royal Yacht Squad
ron Course.
In regard to the complaints made by
American newspapers at the alleged re-
fusal OF the Royal Victoria Yacht Club
to allow Vigilant to sail for the Gold
Cup, The Field to-day points out tina,
neither a challenge nor an intimation
from Messrs. George or Howard Gould
has been received by that Club, so 1t
Is not likely that Vigilants entry has
been rejected.
| The Field adds that It Is safe to infer
| that the Committee of the Victoria
Yacht Club will not stand in the way
Of sport should Vigilant challenge for
