A Yacht Capsized and Eight Men
 Drowned at st. Johns.
 ST. JOINS, N. B., Aug. 23.-The yacht race Tuesday for the corporation cup resulted in putting mourning into at least eight families. Five yachts started and nothing unusual happened until the yachts had rounded the Lasy buoy and were homeward bound, when all were becalmed.
 To the westward indications of a storm could be seen. In short time the storm came with rain and a high wind, fol- lowed few minutes later by hail. storm The yachts had all their sails set when the squall struck. The Maple Leaf was the first to receive the benefit of the squall. The crew made an effort to take in sails, but before they could ac- complish this work the topmast was carried away. The Primrose was well in shore when struck and she lasted but few minutes She was thrown on her beam ends and ill an instant she went down.
 As the storm subsided the people on the tugboat Lillie discovered one yacht was missing and immediately got up steam for search for the missing yacht. Within quarter of a mile four men were found swimming in the heavy sea. They were picked up after having been in the water over an hour. The persons drowned are: Samuel Hutton, Fred Priest, George Heathield, A. Akerly George Bartlett, James Hurley, William Russell and H. Hoyt.
 Hutton is one of the best known oars men in the world. He was member of the celebrated Paris crew which won fame on both sides of the Atlantic q quarter of . century ago.

The London market continues to di- minish in activity. Public interest has fallen off there materially in the last two or three days.
 Stocks were feverish and weak at the opening, with considerable pressure to sell the Changers. Sugar was raided by the Cammack brokers with view of affecting the general list, but at the de- cline supporting orders were disclosed. Whisky Trust was the strong feature, and there was a brisk inquiry for both accounts on the assurance that the com pany had secured the balance of its loan from western capitalists, and that with drawals of whisky at Peoria and Pelzin would begin at once.
