.Cowardice.

The Advertiser" follows in
the footsteps of the Star" by
oowardly insinuation that Messrs
Parker and Peterson $ trip to
San Francisco has political OBJ
iect and the morning organ even
goes so far as to insinuate that
the Queen is paying the expenses
of the two gentlemen. As we
stated yesterday Mr. Parker is
obliged to go to San Francisco to
make the necessary arrange
ments for a settlement of his
estate. Mr.. Peterson who is his
Attorney accompanies him to as
sist him in fully explaining
his financial status and ar
range the details of an
eventual settlement. Ii the
Advertiser Or the Star desire to
have our statements corroboratsd
we can refer them to any of the
leading merchants who are
among Mr.. Parkers creditors.
The cowardice of the two annex
alton papers is further emphasize
ed " their contemplate attitude
in this instance. When Mr..
Parker was being financially
crowded to the wall both papers
threw themselves into a Wild
degree OF enthusiasm and gloried
over the misfortune Of man
who never had harmed them or
anybody else. When the same
man tries to pay every man what
is due him and takes the only
step which can make his inten-
ton feasible the same papers
howl aud sheer and Try to pu;
every obstacle in his way. We
stamp such action a. arrani
cowardice.

COWES, Isle of Wight, Aug. S.-Only
Vigilant appeared on the line at gun
fire this morning in the race for the
Royal Yacht Squadron prize of 900, for
all yachts exceeding il-rating belonging
to any recognized yacht club. AS three
competitors were necessary for the race
to be sailed the event was declared off.
Britannia was absent owing to the
fact that she has been locked as a re-
suit of the damage which she sustained
by scraping the shore In the luffing
match off Ventnor on Monday last. and
as Mr.. A. ID. Clarke. owner of Satanita,
had been blackballed by the Royal
Yacht Squadron, he refused to sail his
yacht.
The morning was rainy and gave
Cowes a dismal appearance. There were
few spectators and no notabilities were
visible.
Later in the day 1t transpired that the
rule requiring that three yachts should
compete had been waived, and the Sail
ing Committee asked Mr.. George j.
Gould to send Vigilant over the course
for half the prize.
MIR. Gould, however, declined. saying
that he did not consider that to be sport.
