In connection with our great interna
tional rowing contest next fall will occur
Il novelty in the way of a yacht race be
tween two of the fastest yachts in South
ern waters. Capt. Charles Kellner of
Galveston, owner of the yacht Viola"
arrived in the city yesterday and was
met by his old friend Jack Crotty, her
previous owner. Captain Kellner will
send his yacht up to compete against the
Northern yacht Stranger, which has been
in Galveston for the past three years.
The Viola is credited with winning
more races in the South than amy yacht
from the coast of Florida to the Rio
Grande.
The Stranger, owned now by Capt. Joe
Benson of Galveston, was never beaten
i'm all her contests up North, but had to
lower her cOlOrs on one or two occasions
in Galveston to the Viola. She has
beaten the Viola as many times as the
Viola has beaten her.
| Captain Kellner has ordered a new suit
| of sails from Gerdes Brothers of New Or
leans, similar to the rig the Viola sailed
under at Rockport and Corpus Christi six
years ago, when she defeated % yachts.
among which was the celebrated catboat
Alice, sent down from Boston to carry
off the cup.
This will certainly be q great feature of
our regatta, and as each yacht will carry
a crew of experts and fly seven sails, the
handling and manipulating of the boats
in their various lacks will be exciting in
the extreme.
The yacht race will he the best two in
three, and must be seen to be appreciated
Captain Kellper will in all probability
get Mr.. Jack CrOtty. the original owner.
who has sailed her in many hard-earned
contest, to SAIL her against the Stranger.
which in itself will give the affair consid-
Ierable local interest.
Captain Kellner went to Manor yester-
day evening but will return early in the
morning, spend the day in The city, visit
the lake and jOt down all the necessary
points so as to have his yacht rugged to
take advantage of all the puffs which
strike out from the different curvatures
bordering our lake. He will call on Presi-
dent Peeler 50 that when he gets to Gail
weston he can give all the desired informa-
tion to the owner of the Stranger.

A RISE IN NAILS

Boston, Mass, July 30.-Nails of every
kind are today 80 cents key higher than
they were yesterday, as a result of the
meeting of the executive committee of
the wire cut nail manufacturers from
all parts of the country. The increased
cost of material and advanced wages
which went into effect July /, are given
as the causes for the putting up of prices.

MARRIAGE MADE CHEAP.

County Clerk Hornsby says that he
is makig n special price on marriage
licenses during the heated term and that
the rate is much lower than the regular
price. Where there are two or three
licenses taken atoncc during the summer
months the prices will probably be cut
in two. This may possibly explain why
there are 50 manY marriages this summer.

A SILVER ROW
In Travis County is Probable From
Saturdays Convention.

There is some intimati0n that there is
liable to be a row in the 16 to 1 POpu
listic-Democratic ranks here in Travis
county as between the county 16 to l fell
lows and the town cranks. 1t seems from
reports heard yesterday, that the country
folks claim they were kept in ignorance
Of Saturdays convention and had no rep
.resentation there. They argue that Papa
Reagan in ixeing up this lite campaign
provided for precinct meetings on the
10Th and county conventions ON the 26th.
Yet argue these gentlemen from the rural
districts the high flown gastins here in
town issued a call and had meeting and
called it a county convention; elected de-
legates to the Forth Worth convention
and adjourned without ever once enquir-
ing of their country brethren as to
whether the meeting and its deliberations
met their approval. 1t is claimed by
these country 16 to l men that this is an
unfair treatment that the whole glory of
being a 16 to l man is to snort against
Cleveland in a convention hall and they
do not propose to be shut out ON this oc-
casion. 1t is further animated that these
country people are so put out at being
over looked in Saturdays convention
that they are thinking very seriously of
having another convention next Satur-
day and electing an entirely new list of
delegates to go to Fort Worth. They
claim that there We're not half dozen
country men in Saturdays convention
and they want meeting where the rural
district can be heard from. Thus it can
be seen that the Travis county 16 to 1
house is divided against itself. As to
what the outcome will be no one seems to
know.
THAT silver meeting at the court
house Saturday amused me-" said a gen
tleman, yesterday. LAS was anticipated
they TRADED against Cleveland and Car
isle they hung out the bloody shirt and
went bowling out the window about on
to the fray Such rot as that makes a
sensible man weary and no mistake.
Well the poor things can't do much more
than make a noise so | presume we
might as we'll hold our peace and let them
do that. Their Fort Worth convention
will be a fiat failure, however. Watch
and see if it isn't"
