JAMESTOWN. Dublin Bay, July 2l.-
This was the Vigilant's day to win
against the Oft times victorious Britau-
MIA, and she did it under conditions that
have heretofore been considered UNI
favorable to her. She finished the fifty
mile cruise minutes and 40 seconds
ahead, not reckoning time allowance.
which will reduce it about minute 10
seconds. The prize competed for was
$500, offered by the Royal st. George
Yacht club. and the course was the
same as that sailed yesterday. A light
breeze was blowing at the start; it did
not increase to any appreciable extent
during the continuance of the race, but
at times died away so that the yachts
could make no Roadway. The Vigilant
crossed the starting line twenty-four
seconds ahead. AT the conclusion of
the iirSt round of the course, which is
nearly Quadrangular. she was 4 min
uteS and % seconds in the lead, but in
the second round the Britannia had re-
duced the advantage to l minute II sec
ouds. This was as close as the yachts
were at any time during the last round,
which was finished by the winning boat
at 6:45:04, the Britannia coming up at
6:4S:42

That uniform success has always at
tended the billiard tournaments inau-
fact. He takes great pride in his tour
naments. and conducts them In such a
manner that interest never flags. This
has had tendency to make this gentle
mans game very popular in this city.
The result has shown that st. Paul has
developed a number of exceedingly
clever amateurs. besides very large
class far above the average line of play
ers. Ever since the GLOBE
announced some time ago that
MIR. Foley was making his
arrangements to start the regular sum-
mer tourney, there has been much
favorable comment. He announced
yesterday that he should open his
tournament on July 80. Henry Samp-
son, the favOrite, will play at fourteen
inch balk line, 800 points. and the other
players will play at straight rail. The
handieaps will be made public in due
course OF time. probably next Sunday.
The fact that valuable prizes are to he
awarded will add Zest to the contests.
There are four in number. The first is
a cash prize of $40; the second. a gold
watch, and the third, $40 in cash. Mr..
Foley has not yet decided upon the
fourth pri re. The other players who
will take part in the tournament are as

An Egg Straight.

Fort Worth Gazette.
Egg drinking bids fair to become a
fad before the summer is over. Just
break the egg into a wine glass and
gulp 1t down at one draught, that's all.
No need OF any more luncheon, no need
of anything to quench the thirst. This
style of drinking is not yet much prac-
ticed at the counters. though 1
have seen instances of it. one
where for couple Of minutes
the white-jacketed clerk was kept
busy breaking the eggs for bevy Of
young danes who put them out of sight
with great rapidity and apparent relish.
Usually they are served at little stands
at which the customers sit, and there
they can season with salt and pepper if
they prefer to do SO. But in each case
the drinking consists of single quick,
comprehensive swallow. No slipping in
this diversion.
