THE DEFENDER
Easily Defeats All the Great Single Stickers in
Saturdays Run.

Newport, r. l., Apg. 4.-Saturday
morning dawned bright and fair, with
fair breeze from southwest, making fair
wind for the run to Cottage City. The
Defender arrived fiom Bristol at 7:30
o'clock In the morning In tow of the tug
Gaspee and calno to anchor in the outer
hnrbor During the night she had shipped
new gaff to replace the one carried away
In Fridays race. Captain Half expressed
himself as greatly pleased with the work
Of the Defender Friday, and thinks If the
accident had not happened she would have
crossed the line winner by - minutes.
Up to $50 there was little movement in
the harbor to get under way, although the
start, which was to he made off Brcnton's
Reef lightship, was advertised for
o'clock
The yachts started out of the harbor at
$3.50, the last Of the single stickcrs to get
out being the Volunteer. The flagship
Sylvia headed the fleet around BrentOn's
point and took up her position off the
lightship at 10 O'Clock. A number OF the
yachts not entered for the race to Vine
yard Haven started on the run there be-
fore the preparatory gun was fired, but
swarm of them lowered about the starting
point when the signal was given.
The big single-stickers all had club top
sails set except the Jubilee, which came
out simple with mainsails and headsails.
Tho preparatory gun was fired at 1880
aud the blue peter hoistcd on the flagship
and mt 1910 the starting gun for the small
sl0ops doomed The Wasp led the fleet,
crossing at 10:4l: so, with Hildegardo
second at 1O:i4:40. The starting gun for
schooncrs was at 1913 The Lasca was
first to cross ut 10;46:10, with Constella-
ton and Neaera after her. All the schoon-
ers carried all the sail that could be put on
them.
The starting gun for the big sloops was
fired ut 1850. The Defender was the only
one near tho line, she crossing 40 seconds
after the firing of the gun. The Voluneeer
crossed ut 10, but the Vigilant inn
medintely drew away from the Volunteer,
whose head sails We're drawing poorly.
The Jubilee did not cross and slowly fol
lowed the boats with working topsail set.
The Defender rapidly drew ahead of the
fleet and when she went out of sight in the
mist had doubled the distance between
her and the Vigilant. The wind wast
strong from southwest.
The steam yachts following the yachts
were: RepoSo, Clearwater, Sylvia. The
Senator, White Lodge, Revere, Dora,
Dungewss Radha, Hermoinc, Satanclla,
.Conquerer, Nourmahal, Tillic and Corsair.
The schooncrs in the race were: May
flower, Ariel. Merlin, Comanche, Lasca,
loyal, Magic, Montauk Iroquois, Neaera
and Concord.
The Defepder led To VINEYARD Haven,

We Have Our Usual Luck With Rangors OF
Their Own Grounds.

Bangor, Aug. ESPECIALLY. The Ban
gors batted both Dilworth and Baker hard,
Saturday, and won with comparative ease
in consequence. The Kennebecs met with
their usual Bangor luck.
Braham pitched very good ball for seven
innings and was relieved by Kildaa in the
eighth. The Remedies took kindly to
him and succeeded in piling up eight runs
in the eighth inning, by hitting the ball
hard, six with total Of IL and errors by
Sharrott and Haywood did the trick.
Bangor, it seems, has not recovered
from the shock the Remedies gave them
at Augusta some time ago as wheeler
was substituted in the ninth, to make
sure that the youngsters did not win ont.
With the score to against them, the
Kcunebccs piled up four runs in the third
and took the lead. Bangor then scored
four runs after two men ont in the fourth,
the last two men scoring on short hit to
left center by Judd, who reached SO far
for an outcurve that he could Keep but
one hand on the bat
Diwo,th was hit quite freely in the
fourth and fifth, and 10 runs piled mp
pretty quickly. Baker was called in to
pitch and Buckley went to right Moth
ing could stop the hitting, however, and
Bangor landed six runs in the seventh and
four in the eighth.
The Remedies were overdue, and after
the smoke of battle had cleared away,
there WAS no installing eight runs for thu
Kennebecs on the distant score board.
Only three men were sent to bat for Ban
gor In their ninth, while the kennebecs
sent five and came near scoring John
son has a bad finger and Conner went to
second IN the last of the game, while John
son went to center field.
Butler caught we'll Bean, johnson,
Doherty and Kelley had plenty to do and
did it well. 0oherty's two home runs
were birds.
For Bangor the hitting Of Henry,
Deadly, o Brien and r. Moore was praise
worthy, and the fielding of O. BrieD,
Deadly, Haywood and Judd was O. *.

Relies Upon Good Sense and CONNER

Relies Upon Good Sense and CONNER
c'ai insti cts for a Solution.
London, Dec. 22.-Sir r. K. Rollit, the
conservative member of parliament for
the South Division of Islington, and
president of the London and Hull Asso-
ciated Chamber of Commerce, granted
an interview to a representative of the
Associated Press today on the outlook
Of the Venezuelan question. After re-
marking that it was delicate and crit
ical position, he said:
1T is deeply to be regretted that the
incident has imperilled both the good
will and trade, and even peace and COM
merce must in any case be more serious
ly interrupted and injured just at the
time when prospects were improving
and business men were justly hoping
for better tines
He did not question the American at
tachment to the Monroe doctrine and
that it was sanctioned by cogent rea-
sons from their point of view. The
feeling which inspired it, however. he
thought was Ineligible, but in the true
sense of the doctrine Great Britain
could not be said to desire any extern
sion of territory in seeking a delimita-
ton in insisting upon recognition OF
what she believes to be her Just rights
by state greatly indebted 10 her for
the development of her public works
He did not think 1t wise for Englishmen
to follow the example of many Ameri-
cans in attributing the action of Presi-
dent Cleveland merely to party and
personal motives. But he felt confident
that Americans generally would ulti-
mately realize that the course Of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Olney was
impetuous and imperious and had SER
iously embarrassed even the most
peace-loving Englishmen. But he re-
lied upon the good sense and CONNER
cial Instincts and interest of both peo-
pie to discover friendly and honorable
solution.
