pouIds for q fraction of that amount. She
was launched June Il, 1893, and in the trial
races so easily proved her superiority to the
.Colonia, Jubilee and Pilgrim that she was
selected without dissent to contest with the
FalkYrie. How she did so is too familiar a
story to be repeated here. She is now to be
overhauled by her new owners, and within
fortnight will start for Cowes. In English
waters she will have to compete with the
Prince of Wales Britannia, the Satanita and
the Calluna, which was SO successful against
the Navahoe, and of course she will have
many bout with her old rival the Valkyrie,
which left America for England some ten
lays ago. 1t has been the frequent and
earnest assertiopsof English competitors for
The Americas Cup that the conditions of wind
and sea were very different off Sandy Hook
from those in the English Channel, and that
an English yacht was invariably undersparred
for an American race, whereas an American
yacht would be oversparred for an English
race The Vigilant's supremacy was demon
strated in American waters last autumn under
all conditions except those ola drifting match
dependent upon fukes and luck. Yachts
men the world over will watch with keenest
interest her coming contests in English
waters.
The Vigilant will be commanded while
abroad by Captain Hank Half, one of the best
of Americas catching shippers. better Sc
lection could not have been made. He has
several times commanded the yachts which
have successfully defended the Americas
Cup against doughty English competitors,
and is past master of his art. He was born
in Islip, l., about fifty-six years ago. His
father was drowned at sea when he was an
infant, and at ten years of age he was work
ing on farm. He hoed corn and dug pota-
toes seven years and then quit farming.
Then he worked on the Long Island Railroad
until 1857, when he had his first experience
on the water. That was fishing in Great
South Bay in the summer and coastng to
southern ports in the winter. He joined
General Burnside's feet that went to New
berne, N. c., being mate of the working
schooner J. G. Roche. In 1867 Half began
yachting in the sloop Evelyn, owned by Mr..
E. E. Holly, and she was the winner Of her
class prize in the New York Yacht Club re-
gatta the same year. Next he had charge Of
the sloop T. B. Asten, owned by the Olympic
Club, and he was her sailing master seven
years. Again he joined a coasting schooner,
but in 1876 was in charge of General Town
sends sloop Onward. The sloop Fanny,
owned by Messrs. Prince and Witty, was
his next yacht, and when this craft was
turned over to Mr.. William R. Travers, he
continued her sailing master. Then the
Mayfower; next the sloop Volunteer; next
Mr.. Iselin's Titania, after which the schooner

The Hearse Was Smashed at Fuueral-h
 Runaway.
 Branford, Dec. 26.-The funeral of Peter Pohlson of this place, which was held this afternoon, was delayed for some time in consequence of runaway. The funeral was in charge of Under taker Griswold of this town, and two horses owned by M. c. Rice, local liveryman, were attached to the hearse for the funeral. On the way to the de- ceased's house the driver stopped in front of Toole's saloon and went inside. During his absence the horses became frightened and ran away. The horses dragging the hearse after them went by the house where the funeral services were being held at high rate of speed. A short distance from the house the hearse was overturned and completely wrecked. The horses were afterwards stopped in the center of the town. The wrecked hearse was the only one in town, and as the mourners had all gathered and were prepared to start for the cemetery, the undertaken secured a grocery wagon, and in this vehicle the casket was carried to the cemetery The horses were badly cut up, but not seriously injured.
