The following letter from the English
firm of brass founders, Samuel Heath &,
Sons, to a Hartford firm is fair indica-
ton of with what interest the English
manufacturer is watching Democratic
legislation:
BIRMINGHAM, England, April TO-
To the - Company:
We have your name given us as being makers
of tenders, and, as you are no doubt aware we
are the largest manufacturers of all kinds of
fittings for these articles in the world. we wish
to say that IL the Wilson bill passes in your
country we shall be very glad to call upon you
some time next September with all kinds of
vases, mounts, spindles, rod ends, caps, etc.,
supports and tubings.
We should be very pleased to hear from you,
stating IL you would then be in position to
favor us with an order IL the goods met with
your approval.
Thanking you in anticipation, etc.,
(Signed.)
1t doesn't take a spyglass to discern
the fact that if the Wilson bill becomes
q law the firm of Samuel Heath &
Sons, one Of the largest manufacturers
in the world, intends to food the coun-
try with its goods The success of this
effort means corresponding decrease
in the production of American firms.

A Travellers Observations.

"There is one thing that has always been
more or less of a mystery to me, said
traveller land that is the motive that
prompts some passengers in car in which
there are entirely vacant seats to take
q seat with somebody. In some cases the
reason for this is simple enough 1t may
be that the person takes the first seat he
comes to and is satisfied. But the person
that have in mind is the one who either
deliberately or with what one might call
deliberate thoughtlessness takes a scat
with somebody when there are vacant en-
tire seats in plain sight / have seen, for
instance, a man sitting by a window,
alone in seat, in q car in which there
was plenty of room, reading. Knowing
that there was plenty of room, he had
perhaps sort of pre-empted that seat and
was making himself comfortable in it anc
was thinking of nothing but his reading.
Along comes q rather stout lady, who,
though there Is more room elsewhere, for
some to me utterly incomprehensible rea-
son decides that she wants to sit in that
particular seat. She moves silently. She
halts in the aisle at the end of the seat and
slowly moves in so that she can sit down.
She says nothing to the man. She'd not
even look at him. She has not looked at
him since the moment that she decided to
take that seat, and he is as yet unconscious
of her presence. Looking straight ahead
with great calmness, she sits down DELHI
erately. Then the man looks around with
O panied sort of look. He moves closer to
the window and goes on reading, but he
won't regain his inward composure for an
hour. Now, why the lady should have
taken that particular scat is one of the
things that 1 don't understand. New

VIGILANT BEATEN AGAIN.
The Britannia Won the County Down Cup
bya Narrow Lead.

BANGOR. IRELAND, July 1.-THE
course over which the American sloop
Vigilant and the British cutter Britannia
sailed for the County Down cup or its
equivalent in cash to-day Is peculiarly
adapted TO the English racing model. II
has twelve turns and as the britannia II
credited with being at least third
faster I'm stays than the Nigilant, she
entered the contest with the assurance
that she had probably two minutes ad-
vantage Of the centre boarder
The Vigllant looked q tribe less males
tic than she did in last weeks races, as
she had four and half feet Of her top
mast cut off and her bow-sprit shorten
ed. This reduced her sail area and gave
her less than her former time allowance.
How much she will allow the Britannia
will not be known until the centre-DOaFd-
er Is remeasured.
There was a piping at the start and
both Yachts took IN their spinnakers. Inc
Britannia crossed the line three seconds
ahead. but the Nigilant passed the third
turn fourteen miles out; twenty-one Sc
onds I'm the lead and completed the
first round Of seventeen miles one min
ME and thirty-One seconds ahead. on
the second round the Nigllant was three
minutes ahead. but on the third round
the wind died away 10 a dead calm. The
Britannia drifted into a streak OF air
that enabled her to forge ahead and
gain a lead OF two minutes and ten sec
onds on the last lap Of three miles the
wind freshed and the Vigilant cut this
down to one minute and thirty-three
seconds. both yachts running with lee
sails under and spray dying over the
bows.
The uncertainty in regard to the al
lowance that the Vigilant gives the Bril-
tanna made It impossible for the spec
tators to accurately determine how much
the Vigilant had been beaten on correct
ed time. They merely knew that the
British yacht had vanquished the centre
boarder by one minute and thirty-three
seconds actual time. II IS yariously es-
timated that the reduced sail area OF
the Vigilant will reduce her allowance
from one minute ana ten seconds to two
minutes.
Yachtsmen have reserved their opinion
of the Vigllant. They admit she had
much the best Of the race and seemed To
be a sure winner until the wind fell.
They believe that the great sea room at
the mouth of the Lough was in the Vigil
lant's favor; but the frequent turns were
against her. particularly In the light
breeze. There was not single huke
until the yachts ran into the calm at the
beginning Of the last round.
