vIGILANT AND BRITANNIA.
The Yankee and British Yachts &c
Meet on the Open Sea.

The Yankee and British Yachts TO
Meet on the Open Sea.
LONDON, Aug. lit has been def
nitely arranged that the match between
the Vigilant and the Britannia for the
ESQ sterling cup offered by Lord
Wolveryon shall be sailed on Wednes-
day. The race will be FIFTEEN miles to
windward and return, as proposed. Mr..
Gould at first held out for race leeward
and beat home, but he has changed his
mind. ard the agreement has been
signed. Much interest is manifested in
this race, for if the wind Wednesday
holds true it will be an opportunity to
show what can be done on the open sea.
notwithstanding the feeling entertained
by many Americans in England that the
British yachting public have not treated
the Vigilant in an exactly sportsmanlika
manner. there Is no difference of opinion
as to the attitude of the Prince of Wales
to the Yankee sloop's owner. In con-
versation between the Prince and the
officers of the Chicago, his royal high
ness referred to the plucky and sports
manlike qualities displayed by Mr..
Gould throughout the racing. The
p Prince said he was particularly anxious
that the Britannia should meet the Vigil
liant on the open sea, in order that ths
merits OF the two boats could be judged.

La Touraine quit work. Their places
were filled by other men, and the vessel
sailed for New York on her schedule

than Il ever enjoyed before 10 its Litory q

Coxey has been harsDguing the nail kel
audience in MAssi!lon's general store. HI
has succeeded IN working mp enough
blood-to- he bride enthusiasm among hi
limited audisnce to get their names into some
Of the nevsp6pess. Certain nevspaper cor
respondents on the alert for . sensstior
have written these corner grocery csanks NJ
in such glowing style that they already i'm
asins themselves generals 1t the head OF
Z crusade. With legions At their backs
they cay they are to start on Sunday fol
Washington; that on the way thousand,
more are to Join them. On arriving at
Washington they are to besiege the Cspitol'
summon the national legislators out on the
front coor step and address them.
II is evident that tie excursion has been
planned without due forethought, others ise
it would te apparent that there
isnt the slightest Possibility Of the
legislators surviving the address. Not
only do these i'll considered and inconsid-
crate projectors believe in the survival Of
the httest (viz., the congressman and not
the address, but they also are sanguiae
enough to expect the legislators to grant
permit for the s'army" to camp on the
White House lawn and to seLd an order to
the grocery store for supply Of crackers
and cheese that the famished horde
may eat. drink and be merry.
Comman Ter Coxey also expects to have put
in immediate operation some kind of ap-
para.us, possibly hay-press, which will be
cap,ble Of turning out greenbacks by the
bale while Congress gets together and votes
appropriations TO give everyone who desires
It we'll paid government job.
Now Mr.. Coxey may succeed in getting
away from Massillon without his creditors
knowing it. He has made no provision tor
feeding his "army." It's noticeable fact
that such - he never provide the "grub."
They alwsys expect the ordinary, hard
working and uninspired to contribute the
staff Of life in case government refuses to
provide. But Mr.. Coxey's daugh-
ters and some Of the neighbers'
daughters who are musically inclined
have improvised several grand marches on
the melodeon 90 they have something to
march by il they have nothing to march
with.
Now that the marches are written the start
may be made from Massillon. If the peo-
pie living along the road take kindly to
tramps the "army" may be able to proceed
in light marching order with nothing in
their haversacks heavier than parody on
"Sherman's March to the Sea-"
Not outstanding the farcical features of
the whole undertaking if Coxey and his
non -descript followers should induce tramps,
ysgabonds and the scum of Pittsburg to join
them and II the authorities along the route
shall neglect to do their duty in the begin
ming trouble may ensue before Washington
10 reached.
The chief danger,if there is any danger,
which is doubtful, will arise from the free
advertising which Coxay's project has had
and the corresponding interest and impor-
tance ascribed to it.
