With British Ensign Flying the
Cutter Starts for Home.

Nalkyrie, the defeated pet of the
Royal Yacht Club, of England, was
towed out Of Erie Basin at $50 this
morning by the tug Lewis Pulver, and
then 1t was that her return trip to
Albion's shore was begun. The British
steamer Delcomyn. which was hauled
out Of the dry dock. dipped her colors in
salutation. Falkyrie is bound for
Gourock-on-the-Clyd where she will
be fitted out with all her racing para.
phernalia for the approaching yachting
season abroad.

Mr.. Kersey and his comrades returned
