NIAGARA Is THE BEST.
What Capt. Barr Thinks of Lort
Duuraypn

What Capt. Barr Thinks of Lord
Dunraven.
New York, Sept. 27.-A special cable
dispatch from Gourock, Scotland, says
that Captain John Barr left Glasgow
for his home on the steamship City of
Rome to-day.
The Niagara W i'll lay up at Southampton
until spring, W hen she will begin the racing
circuit for 1896. The Niagara heads the
tweDty-rating class on this side, and she
has the best record. She started in fifty
two races, with thirty-ope firsts, eight
seconds, and one third prize, making a
total of forty wins. Captain Barr has a
good opinion of Fife's twenty-rater, the
Eucbaris.
When asked what he thought of Dun
ravens action, Captain Barr replied:
II think he acted quite hurriedly in
giving up the contests. He should have
sailed the series out. Surely Dunraven
must have known there would have been
a great crowd out to see the races, for
there is no event in the United States Of
near the great Importance the cup races
are. Everything has to give away to the
cup match.
1.-THE American people take greater
interest in the races than any one on this
side can believe. There W as great crowd
out in the Thistle-y olunteer year. Amer
leans are bound TO see the races, for with
them it is a rational event"
Before leaving Southampton Mr.. Howard
Gould presented Captain Barr with an
elegant gold watch as a token of his serv-
ices in sailing the Niagara. Captain Barr
expects to arrive in Marblehead inside.

MONEY ONLY FOR WORKERS
Cuban Revolutionary Delegate Is
sues a Letter to Exiles.
Only In the Most Economical
Mann for Heroes.

New York, Sept 27.-Late last night
Delegate L alma, of the Cuban revolutionary
party in this city, issued the folio owing lat
ter:
This delegation cannot but acknowl-
edge the noble and faithful sentimer..s of
the patriots who abandon their homes
in Cuba and in South and Central Ameri-
can countries to come over to the United
States to offer themselves for service in
the revolution.
AT the same time this delegation can
not but make known to the public that
the funds in their hands were subscribed
to assist the revolutionary party in Cuba.
consequently this delegation is not au-
thorized to use the money for any other
purpose or fail to perform its sacred duty.
1T is, therefore, in order to declare that
those coming to this country of their own
accord without being called by this delega-
tion must not depend absolutely upon us
for any pecuniary assistance, as we will
only help to defray the personal expenses
of those rendering official services.
Expenses in every case must be very mod
crate, and we must bear in mind that the
funds in the treasury of the party are de-
rived from the generosity of the poorer
class, whose action in subscribing the
money is noble example of patriotism.
'Thcsc funds will be devoted entirely to
help the heroes struggling in the fields Of
Cuba to give us a free land
tSigned.) 1T. ESTRADA PALMA"
The foregoing was sent out by Delegate
Palma in view of the fact that many Of the
Cubans who have come here have depended
on the Junta for their expenses, and this
has caused severe drain on the treasury
Of the party.

1t Was Wise to Send the First Series
to Cleveland
Arrangements are to be made to carry
baseball enthusiasts from this city to
Baltimore at reduced rates during the
Temple cup games with Cleveland in that
city.
1t is thought to have been a wise thing
to set the games for early dates, and to
play the last ones in the East. The Balti
more men thought it best to begin at
Cleveland, because that city, being on the
lake, encounters cold weather earlier.
The Orioles had another reason. They
" ant to be in Baltimore ON the night of
their benefit at the Academy of Music,
October Z. If they waited until after
October to go to Cleveland they fear
the weather would be too cold for baseball
SO they prefer to go there first.
This arrangement will also make it
convenient to play off the odd game of the
series in Philadelphia or some other East
ern city should seven games be necessary
to decide the series. The Baltimore play
ers prefer Philadelphia, but the question
must be referred to Cleveland also

days at a small cost to remove any possible
defect and put the law into immediate

arisen requesting the legislature to be
convened In special session;
Now, therefore, ]. Charles A. Culber

country before entering the contests with

here before the recent contests contributed
largely to their defeat, and many good
judges of athletic form here admit that
this is true.

fined to his bed with a severe attack OF
illness that threatens him with pneumonia.

The fact that a number OF the a American rs
