DEFENDERS GREAT DAY
She Beat The VigiIant in a Run
+. of Forty-Two Miles.
II Was Just the Kind Of Weather the
Valkyrie III. Was Built For.

NEWPORT, II. l., Aug. THE Defender
beat the Vigilant yesterday I'm the run Of
AZ miles from New London to this point.
The weather was In favor Of the Vigilant
all the way through. IL has been often
said by those who know, that the Vigilant
can beat any yacht a1oat in running be-
fore the wind, but yesterday il was not
the same. From start 10 finish, the De-
fender gained on the Vigilant, and came
home far ahead. The finish showed tho
new boat To be I2m. 2s TO the good, In
actual time. The Jubilee by her refusal
TO start yesterday, indicated that she does
not want TO go into IA race when there Is "a
blow, and victory in such weather can
not be of great value just now, for the
chances are that the cup races will be
sailed in light weather, and that is tho
game the Valkyrie III was built for.

A. BOY Drowned.
Sad Fate of a Clergy.
mans Son.
CURRENT WAS TOO SWIFT,
John W. Taylor Loses His Life in the
Blackstone.

John w. Taylor, IL years old, son OF
R;v. w. Il. Taylor, pastor OF the Primi-
tive Methodist Church, Lonsdale, lost his
life In the blackstone yesterday afternoon
under unfortunate circumstances. The
boy was fishing on the easterly side OF
the river, just south OF the John street
bridge. dc was alone and two smaller
boys, Arthur Rose and Michael Chute,
had passed him a minute or two before
the accident, and had just gone under the
bridge, when they heard the Taylor boy
cry for help. They ran to where they saw
him and he was struggling In the water,
being unable to swim, and trying to get
ashore. The boys threw him his fishing
pole and he caught hold OF It, but the
current was running very strong at the
time and In pulling him ashore the pole
broke and he went under. The current
soon swep: him out of sight OF the boys.
They then started to the home Of the
parents of young Taylor, and gave the
alarm. Rev. William Shaw OF Tiverton
happened to be making call at the Tay.
lor residence at the time, and ne started
for the scene OF the accident with all pos
sible haste, calling at the store of Robert
cured and soon Mr.. Topping sighted the
body In clump of weeds short distance
from where the boy sank. The body was
brought ashore, and efforts Of resuscita-
tion were commenced, and in this Drs.
TorkingtoD, Merrill and GarviD, who
were present, took an active part, but
without avail, the body having been In
the water at least 40 minutes.
Dr. Garvin, the Medical Examiner,
having learned the circumstances, or.
dered the body delivered to the boys
parents. Deceased was q remarkably
bright boy, and was OF a very retiring
disposition. He was pupil OF the Cum
beriand High School. His father was in
attendance at the quarterly conference of
the Primitive Methodist Churches, held
In Pascosg on Wednesday when informed
Of the accident. The boys mother was
frantic with grief last evening.
It seems the more unfortunate that the
accident should have taken place as IL did,
for had the boys given the alarm at q
house, not more than 100 yards from
where 1t happened, 1t could have been
prevented, as there were several men In
the vicinity, and any one of them could
have brought the lad to shore before he
had been In the water five minutes.

Newspaper Men of All Nations to Gather

The second International Press league
meeting will be held at Bordeaux France,
In September. An effort Is making to So
cure the representation of the American
press, and an exceptionally cordial invita-
tion has been extended to American writ
ers to send delegates.
The title International Press league wa0
assumed by the Federation Of United
States Press Clubs in 1891, but 1t has
never justified IL by afiiliation with foreign
organizations. The European league held
its first congress last year at Antwerp dur
ing tho exposition. Nearly every civilized
country was represented. South America
and New Zealand sent delegates. England
sent the officers Of her great newspaper
organization, the Institute Of Journalists,
which has membership of 1000. The
United States was represented only by
foreign newspaper man, Paul Olker, who
lives in London and Is registered as COR
respondent of American journals. He was
delegated TO act for the German Press club
Of San Erancisoo.
1t was decided ct the Antwerp congress
to have the next annual meeting at Buda-
pest in July. Subsequently. however, the
committee Of arranesmsnts deemed IL best
to change the place OF meeting to Bor-
deaux. There is an exposition this sum-
mer at Bordeaux, and the city Is more
accessible to visitors from this side Of the
ocean. Nevertheless up to this time no
lively interest in the congress has been
manifested in this. country, possibly be-
cause comparatively little Is known Of the
league beyond the fact Of its existence.
NJ Paul Olker, who was the only dele
gate at Antwerp for America Is now in
the United States and has communicated
with newspaper men In the principal cities
from New York to California in reference
to the congress. He says the English news
paper men carried off all the honors last
year because there was no American COM
petition. He explains the purpose Of the
organization as the establishing Of good
feeling among newspaper writer's tho world
over. Wherever there are press associations
belonging to the league, he says, the trav
cling newspaper man Of any nationality
will find welcome and q home In case
the leagues objects be fully attained.
Other aims are to establish general bu
reau Of information and facilities for pro-
viding or finding employment for newspa-
per workers outside their own countries;
to obtain greater international postal and
telegraphic facilities and lower press rates,
to protect literary and news property
rights and to found bureau Of arbitra-
tion to adjust difficulties among newspa-
pers and newspaper men,,

 Selma May 29.-(Special 1.-The closing exercises of the Dallas academy com menced today and as usual on such oc- casions a large crowd of visitors was present consisting of parents and friends of the pupils, The rooms were prettily decorated and the scene presented was most animated and attractive one. The visitors were most courteously received by the principal, Professor Hardaway, and conducted to where the exercises were going on, which consisted of songs recitations etc.
 One of the special features of the dec oration of the room was the handsome drawings on the blackboards executed by the pupils, and which excited much fa- Norable comment from visitors.
 The programmes in the various grades of the school were very entertainine and were splendidly rendered by the pupils.
 MT. E. P. Watson returned last night from Texas. After the reunion he visited his father, living near Houston.
