yigifant TO BE Given Another Chance to
Beat the Britannia.

LONDON, Aug. 12-It has been definitely
arranged that the match between the Wig
liant and the Britannia for the ESQ ster-
ling cup offered by Lord Wolverton shall
be sailed on Wednesday. The race will be
fifteen miles to windward and return, as
proposed. Mr. Gould at first held out for
a race leeward and beat home, but he
has changed his mind and the agreement
5 has been signed. Much interest is mani
tested in this race. for If the wind on
Wednesday holds through the Vigilant
will have an opportunity to show what
she can do in the open sea on nearly all
points of sailing.
Notwithstanding the feeling entertained
py many Americans in England that the
British yachting public have not treated
the VigiIant In an exactly sportsmanlike
manner. there Is no difference of opinion
as TO the attitude of the Prince of Wales
tow ard the Yankee sloop's owner. During
the course of conversation between the
prince and the officers Of the United States
cruiser Chicago on the occasion of the
princes visit to the vessel. his royal high
ness referred to the plucky and sports
manfike qualities displayed by Mr..
Gould throughout the racing between
the Britannia and yigilant The prince
said he was particularly anxious that the
britannia should meet the Vigiaant on the
open sea, Ia order that the true merits OF
the two yachts might be clearly judged.
The priuce had seen the boats crew from
the Chicago WIN the pinnace race from the
crews of the other warshIps, and he COM
plimented them upon their skiilful victory.

Railroad earnings were uniformally dis

any cessation in the demand from the short

some local selling, a loss Of i per cent in

lions settled during his administration
were oyster difficulties with Virginia, q
collection of arrcarages from the Baltimore
