THE DEFENDERS VICTORY.

The Valkyrie was beaten, and beaten badly
Yesterday II she could not win in such cond-
tons as prevailed during the opening race, 1t
is not hasty to conclude that she cannot beat
the Defender at all. 1t was Valkyrie weather.
the very kind which Lord Dunraven has been
hoping for The breeze was light and bafllng
had there been much less wind the yachts could
not have covered the course in the prescribed
six hours 1t was far from an Ideal DAY for a
Yacht race, from the popular point of view. 1t
was nasty weather, the sky being overcast most
Of the time and fog covering the sea at inter

make lively race and keep the interest OF the
spectators at q high pitch In fact, long pelore
the finish line was reached it was certainty
that the Defender would come in FAR aneau.
At the start the English boat gained slight
advantage and for perhaps the first hour during
the beat to windward 1t was dliilcult 10 ui

the srperiority of the Defender was disclosed
and from the moment this appeared 1t was her
race. The Valkyrie was hopelessly left behlnd
and had no chance OF passing her speedier rival
Tho Defender rounded the stakeboat about .
minutes ahead Of the Nalkyrie and steadily IN
creased her lead on the run home, winning by
minutes and 40 seconds.
The result Yesterday does not absolutely insure

highly gratifying TO American yachtsmen and

That some Of the boats exceeded the safety point
in the number Of passengers carried Is undouDt-

The Fruit Crop of Italy.

A Washington special to daily pa
per contains the following:
During the month of July last the
Safe Department made requests upon
its representatives in the consu ar ser
vice in the citrus fruit-growing districts
of Italy for reports concerning the con-
dition of the growing crops of oranges.
lemons and other citrus fruits. Replies
have been received from the consuls at
Messina, Palermo and Catania, all in
Italy. Consul Caughy at Messlna writes
on the 10th of August that he is in
formed by both shippers and farmers
| that the orange and lemon crop of that
region will be superior in quality, but
less in quantity, than last year, the fall
ing off in production being due TO last
years frosts. The first shipment of
lemons will be made about the 5th of
October, two weeks earlier than usual.
He says also that the mandarin, bitter
orange and citron crops are well adj
vanced and will exceed last years prod
ucts. There will be falling off in the
bergamot crop. Consul Seymore at Pa
lermo finds nothing exceptional concern
ing the crop and says that the prospects
are that it will be found sufficient to
meet the demands upon it.
The orange crop at Catania, accord
ing to Consul Bruhl, has been somewhat
damaged by the weather both of last
winter and the past summer, and will
not exceed 100000 boxes. There have
been severe siroccos during the summer,
while the upland districts were visited
by frosts, SHOWS and sleets during the
winter, most unusual occurrences in
that climate. The lemons were not so
much affected by the winter weather
because the trees bearing the fruit grow
in lower lands, which were not touched.
He predicts lemon crop in that dis
trict of 100000 boxes.
From October last to July there were
shipped from these three places to the
United States and Canada 8O1, SIS boxes
of oranges and 1,91O,O71 boxes of lemons.
Consul Bruhl predicts falling off in
the Cantania shipments to the United
States in the future. Heavy losses were
experienced in the shipments of last
year of both oranges and lemons. The
shippers are, he says, thoroughly dis
gusted with the low prices received in
this country and are inclined to turn
their atte ntion 10 Trieste, where the

An Address to the Farmers, and Fruit and
Vegetable Growers.


call issued by a committee of Lake
county gentlemen, the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved. That a committee of three
be appointed by the chair and author
rlzed by this meeting to prepare On ad
dress to the growers and producers of
Florida, asking them to unite in an
effort to secure lower rates on farm pro-
ducts, fruits included, and also to the
traffic managers of the transportation
lines doing business here, urging them
to give US cheaper rate on our products.
The following committee was ap-
pointed. Mahlon Gore, Geo. H. Wright,
and ]. Q Reese.
It needs no special gift of discernment
to recognize the critical condition of the
farmers and fruit and vegetable growers
Of Florida, their orange crops gone for a
term of years, compelled to rely upon
the products Of their farms, and no
profit in farm productions under the
present order OF things. We can pro
duce the crops. Prices in the northern
markets are in our favor. The trouble
is in high freight rates and in the sys
tenn Of m trketiny
We can hope for no concession in
freight rates unless we organize and de
mand them, and put ourselves in
position to force a recognition eff our de-
mands. We desire no fight with the
transportation lines. Our interests are
theirs. But we want them to recognize
question. With cheaper rate of trans
portation we could enlarge our army Of
consumers and could put food products,
which we are now barred from shipping,
into the hands of the masses. We would
still have the advantage of the high
prices early in the season, while our
shipping season would be prolonged, and
we would realize fair return for thou
sands of dollars worth of vegetables that
now rot in our fields.
Relief can only be hoped for through

attempted heretofore, but has been only
partially successful. We recommend a
state organization, with a recognized
head, and with an executive committee.
Such officers to perform their duties
without pay. If found necessary, we
recommend the employment of the best
legal talent to be obtained to look after
our interests in the courts when neces-
sary. To attain this end there should
be county and precinct organization.
These should be close and compact.
To provide the necessary funds required
for sta tionery, postage, legal fees ETC.,
we suggest a membership fee of one dol
lar, this money to be kept in the treasu-
res of the subordinate organization,
only to be called out at such times and
IN such amounts as the state executive
committee may decide to be necessary.
All state officers and members of the ex
ecutive committee to be elected by the
farmers who belong to the organization.
We recommend that the farmers and
fruit and vegetable growers Of every pre-
cInct IN the State, meet at convenient
places on Wednesday, Sep. Is, or as
ne r that date as is convenient to them,
