Hooper's popularity, he replied that an
offensive liberty had been taken with his
name. He had been held UP as a mere
story-teller with nothing solid in his COM

He spoke of his book n blunder. and
declared that IL had injured his character
with the public and had barred him out OF

CENTER ISLAND, L. l., Sept. 24.-For
the second time mo race" has to-day
been declared in the Seawanahaka Yacht
Club series of international challenge races
for small boats. This time, in varying
winds and sometimes lack of any, the Eth
elwynn and Spruce " struggled during
the full racing time of five hours to go
twice around triangle of two miles side,
but only managed to finish little more
than fve-sixths OF the twelVe-mile course.
The result to day has been distinctly
favorable to the seamanship of the chal-
lenger, who gave fine exhibition of sail
ing his boat for all there was in her every
minute the race was on, and while the
American was generally well handled,
an error of judgment on the first
leg of the windward work babe fair to give
the English half-rater good lead had not
the tickle wind ended the days work in an
abortive trial, because the five hours in
which the course had to be covered was
used up with the little boats yet more than
three-quarters of mile from the finish.
The course to-day was run off the
wind, a reach northwest and a beat to
windward south by west half west.
Viewed as whole the Spruce outsailed
the Ethelwynn ION the wind" while the
American was superior on the English
boats reputed points.
There were about as many and varied
classes of vessels in the attending fleet as
on Monday, and more will doubtless be on
hand tomorrow, when the triangular
course will be tried again.

Captain Rerelle Vas Murdered by Po-
tonac Rteer Pirates.
BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. 24-Captain
Benjamin F. Revelle was murdered OH
board his own vessel, which was then
scuttled and sunk in the Potomac River.
near Riverside Park. 1t is supposed that
the murderer was a member of the crew,
who, after committing the deed and rob-
bing the body and boat of all the valuables
he could find, went ashore in small boat.
Captain Revelle left here a week ago,
and subsequently sailed from Annapolis
on his schooner John A. II. Dixon with a
load of lumber. Nothing was heard from
the captain or his vessel until late last
night, when news was received that the
steamer Sue had found the Dixon floating
in the Potomac near Cedar Point, and APP
parently abandoned. On investigation
Captain Revelle's body was found, with
wounds showing that he had been muir
dered. The Sue towed the schooner as far
as Riverside Park, where it was found that
an attempt had been made to scuttle her.
Before she could be beached the schooner
sank. AS yet there is no clew to the MUIR
derer.
