LONE MARINER WRECKED

NEW YORK. Aug. 81, 1S94.-The steam
er Scandia, which arrived here today
from Hamburg, reports that on August
%, about 900 miles east of Sandy Hook,
she passed the wreck of a small vessel,
about thirty feet long, painted white,
just awash.
The description of the craft corresponds
with that of the little sharpe, Nina,
which left this port on August 4, com
manded by Adolph Frietsch, who set out
to cross the Atlantic alone in his little
boat.
The weather reports of incoming steam
favored in that respect, and many be-
lieve the wreck sighted was the. little
cockle-shell of Capt. F'rietsch, as all Of
the old salts shook their heads doubling
sly when the frail craft sailed away.

PRESS AGENTS FOR PREACHERS

Truly this IS the age Of press agents,
Those seductive individuals acting in the
interests of theatres have become famil-
ar institutions to the newspaper read
ing public. But the policy Of employing
men specially to prepare interesting
items for the press has commended it,
self to other Institutions, and the Church
initiates the theatre in this respect. I'm
loubtedly the best work in this line is
that done BY. the Young Peoples Society
of Christian IIndeavor in this city, whose
representative is indefatigable in arrang-
ing the news of the cause in which he
is interested and in assisting the report
ers who are sent to write up the i'm
portant meetings which are held. But
the latest novelty is being tried at Cor
nell. This position is filed by the presi-
dents secretary, who sends the Boston
journal" and the other leading papers
of the country an occasional Cornell let
that institution. To say that the alumni
Of that college appreciate this method
of presenting news would be putting it
mildly Now let Harvard and Yale, Dar-
mouth and Amherst, Tech and Tufts
follow this example and get press agents,

Most of the finest opals come from
Hungary but the principal vein has beer
exhausted lately, sothat the gem in It's
finest variety is exceedingly rare. The
clear bright opals with the luminous fire
come from Mexico. Any opal, and par
ticularly the Mexican stone, becomes
dulled by washing the hands with fhe
ring on, and all lose their brilliant play
of color. The stones are not durable liks

THE VIGILAN9 Led.
But AS 1t Fell Calm the Race
With Satanita May Not
Count.

DARTMOUTH, Aug. 81, 1894.-A light
northwestern barely ruffled the surface OF
the channel this morning, bringing down
with it a mist that gave the fleet in
the offing spectral aspect. There We're
throngs from all over England to see
the Ngilant's first dual with the big
gest of British cutters, Mr.. Clarke's Sa-
tanita The contest was for prizes of
$3.50 and $3.50, under the auspices of the
Royal Dart Yacht Club The course was
triangular. The first leg, of about four
miles, was from the Dartmouth Range,
at the entrance to the harbor, due south
to the Skerries bellbuoy. thence south in
northeasterly direction to a mark boat
off East Blackstone. about four and
half miles, and thence to the westward
about mile and half back to the
over four times. and thus had eleven
turns.
THE START.
The yachts bounded down for the line
when the starting gun was fired at
10:30. The Vigilant was on the weather
quarter of the Satanita. Both yachts
carried clubtopsails and jibtopsails. The
wind, which increased a bit just after the
racers got away, was on he port quarter.
The Satanita crossed at 10:30:50, with the
white centreboarder half a minute
astern. The Vigilant overlook and pass
ed to windward of the big cutter few
minutes after the start and rounded the
Skerries buoy two minutes and three
seconds ahead Time
Vigilant, IL 1o0:04.
Satanita, :02:07.
1t was almost dead to windward tus-
sic to the mark boat off East Black
stone, and the value of the centreboard
was again demonstrated. The sloop
stood higher on every leg than the cut
.er, and gained nine minutes and nine
seconds in the four and a half-mile
stretch of tacking, thus being eleven
minutes and twelve seconds ahead when
she rounded the East Blackstone mark.
Time
Vigilant 12:00:43.
Satanita, 12:11:55.
VICTORY SURE.
From East Blackstone to the home
mark it was broad reach, with the wind
abaft the starboard beam 1t was becom-
ing apparent to everybody that unless
there should be decided change in the
force of the wind, which was of only mod
crate strength, the Satanita would be
beaten more than half an hour. The
yigilant added three minutes and fifty
five seconds to her lead as she gybee
around the home mark. Time
Vigilant, 1a:2S:29.
Satanita, 12:43:36.
Reaching and beating in light weather
evidently is not the Satanta's forte. She
did much better with her rival in this
running This was evident when the
yachts glided down the wind on the first
leg of the second round, when the Vigi-
liant gained only one minute and thirty
three seconds. Thus at the Skerries
buoy the sloop was sixteen minutes and
forty seconds ahead. Time
Vigilant 12:55:O0.
Satanita, 1:11:40.
1t was now plain to the most preju-
diced advocate of the cutter that. bar
ring accidents and flukes. the Vigilant
was a sure winner by big margin.
BOTH YACHTS BECALMED.
