MAY BE NO RACE.
lord Dunraven nd the Americas CuT
Committee Disagree.

Committee Disagree.
Lord Dunraven attended a theater at
London last night, ard upon returning to
his home at midnight he found there a
cable dispatch from Commodore James D..
Smith, chairman of the Americas cup COM
mittee, announcing that the committee
could agree to no conditions as to holding
the cup and declining to agree to eight,
instead of ten, months notice.
A representative of the Associated Press
was present, having brought to Lord Dun
raven a copy of the cable dispatch. Lord
Dunraven read the dispatch and then said
Then you may take Ii from me that
there will be no race. Their insistence
that the challenger sign a receipt for the
cup and the conditions of the 1887 deed
place an absolute bar to further negotia-
lions, because il would be impossible to
assemble the Royal Yacht Squadron in
time. If they think 1t perhaps possible to
advance the dates of the races later, they
surely could do that now. But 1 will not
decide hastily. l will take few days for
consideration -and consultation, and Will
probably reply on THURSDAY"
The old deed of gift required only six
months notice. 1t is the Royal Yacht
Squadron that Is challenging, not Lord
Dunraven personally For this reason
neither Lord Dunraven nor Secretary Grant
has any power to act.

Every Favorite Won,

1t Is not usual to witness the success
of every favorite on a race track. but that
is what the big crowd at the Alexander
Island track witnessed yesterday after
noon, despite the fact, too, that the track
was deep in mud. Every race was won
easily, and the thirteen bookmakerS en-
gagged lost heavily. The winners were:
Frolicsome Lass, 6 to B; Fredericks, to
2; Levina, 1 to 3; Ponce de Leon, to 5,
and Pirate Chief, even money.

The captains of the bowling teams COM
prising the District Amateur Bowling
League have adopted an additional lule
in regard to practice bowling upon foreign
or away Trombone alleys, which is to
the effect that no member of the regular
teams or any of the substitutes thereof
shall, during the league season, practice
or bowl any ball upon the alleys of any
club in the league other than the alleys
of the club to which the members of regu-
lar teams or substitutes may belong, ex-
cept during the fifteen minutes allowed,
under the league rules, the visiting teams
for the purpose of practice upon the alleys
of the home team on the evening or the
match. In the carrying out of this rule
each bowler is placed upon his honor ana
any violation of the same will be looked
upon as a breach of inter-club courtesy.
This rule is pre-eminently fair and just,
as IL places each team on the same footing,
and thereby all will have an equal show
in learning the peculiarities of the strange
alleys.

A VICTIM OF THE GOLD STANDARD,

VIM. Spencer, aged 70 years and
a respectable farmer residing in the
fourth ward, dropped in to see The
Item Monday and related his story
of this years experience, which is
more than usually interesting at
this time.
DIR. Spencer informed The Item
that he owns a farm, teams, uten
sils and live stock, and that up to
this year his invariably made a
comfortable living for himself and
his family.
This year, with the aid of little
crippled hoy, this aged gentleman
raised and gathered FIVE bales of
cotton besides making; corn, potatoes
and other truck for home consump-
ton. During the year his c unit
with his merchant for family and
farm supplies was only $l4O. After
casting accounts he found that his
five bales of cotton, at present prices,
tailed to pay in full his Indebtedness
to his merchant.
This fact decided him at once to
go out and seek some employment
during the winter months by which
he can earn enough to buy clothing
tor his family, and If need be TO pav
the balance due to bis merchant.
He stated, in justice to his merchant,
that he had been very kind and
liberal and would advance him all
he needed for his family, notwith,
standing the failure of his crop to
pay out, but he did not wish to 90
further in debt and would rather
earn the cash and buy what he
needed with that from his merchant.
Now, here is one of many instan,
'es of the kind where honest, hard
working farmers have planted cotton
N their faith in receiving livino
PRICES and have not received enough
n return to pay the expense of
it.
This old gentleman's crop, at any.
hing like q decent price, would
ave paid his years account and
7ould have left him enough to have
himself and family comfort
bly, and still lett him a few dollars
0 start next years crop with.
