London, Sept. Is. The conclusion
of the international yacht races for the
Americas Cup furnishes the text for
articles in all the London afternoon
newspapers. In general, the press
upholds Lord Dunraven in his refusal
to sail over the course yesterday with
out guarantee that it would be kept
clear of excursion steamers and other
craft.
The "Pall Mall Gazette" says, in a
leader, that the result is unfortunate
and that it will be deplored quite as
deeply by sportsmen in America as by
the same class in England. The article
puts the whole blame for the fiasco
upon hindering steamers and conludes
But no one is to blame who is worth
the blaming. We can only hope that
arrangements for future contests Of this
character will be under more satisfac-
tory conditions. =
In its yachting column, the "Pall
Mall Gazette says:
While in our opinion Defender,
under fair conditions, would probably
have beaten Vallyrie in at least three
out of five races, we cannot but regret
that Valkyrie had no chance of sailing
under fair conditions To say that
Defender worthily retained the cup
would be ridiculous.
| Further on in the same article, the
Pail Mall Gazette says;
"We hope that the Earl of Dunraven
will consent to sail for the proposed
cup off Marblehead, as all are anxious
to sec the comparative merits Of the
yachts tested, and the best boat to win.
Should Valkyrie win, which we think
is improbable, neither Lord Dunraven
nor any one else would bother to chal-
lenge again for the Americas Cup,
which the new trophy would replace.
Should Valkyrie lose, we know that
Lord Dunraven would take his beating
like sportsman. Thus the races Of
1895 would be brought to pleasant
| conclusion and further challenge for
the new cup would be only a matter OF
few years. II Valkyrie III returns
without a race, it means that her
owner is convinced that he did moi
have fair treatment at the hands OF
the committee, and that no contest fol
the cup is ever likely to occur, even
though the committee decided that
future races should be sailed where
there was a certainty OF fair course "
The Sun" which throughout has
made sneering comments upon Ameri.
cans as sportsmen, says that the feeling
has grown up here that fair competition
must not be looked for in the contest
for the cup, but adds that it does moi
sympathize with that view.

ernor Cochran aud II. n. Cochran, by the

Observation-Disclosures or 1azette and journal
Middletown, Sept. 12--An interest
ing event occurred at the residence of
DIR. Thomas Gilpin, this morning,
when Hon. John p. Cochran was the
recipient of a handsome photograph
of Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard, en-
cased in hard oak frame. The picture
is so admirably executed that every line
of the features is distinctly drawn,
while the blood stone ring on the little
finger Of the left hand is readily recog-
nized. The photograh was the work of
London artist and sent in care of
Rev. Frank H. Moore, who has just
returned from Europe.
Mr.. Moore delivered the picture with
short presentation speech, in the
presence of few intimate friends.
On the margin at the foot of the pic
ture is written, For my old friend,
Hon. John p. Cochran, with the stead
fast regard Of I. f. Bayard. London,
August, 1885," Ex- Governor Cochran
sent a letter OF introduction to Am
bassador Bayard, prior to Mr.. Moore 8
European trip, and gained for the lat
ter letters of introduction to the entire
diplomatic and consular corps of
America, which proved great benefit
to him.
He also brought another photograph
to r. t. Cochran, framed similarly to
the other, but a different style of pic
ture, which bore the following, "R.
L. Cochran, in token of hearty half a
century of friendship. T. f. Bayard.
London, Aug, 1895. -
Mr. Moore is justly elated at the
honors conferred upon him through the
influence Of the letters presented to
him, and it was with feeling of par.
donable pride that he heard the name
of the illustrious Delawarean lauded
throughout the length and breadth of
the lands which he visited. He con-
siders as most remarkable the favorable
comments which he heard from those
with whom he was brought into con
tact regarding the esteem with which
the Ambassador was held, particularly
in Russia, where the name of Bayard
ELECTED enviable compliments.

A story was in circulation to the
effect that the building would be
located on the line, so as to be in both
Maryland ana Delaware. The origina-
tor of the story thought that liquor
could be sold in the Delaware end, and
sporting matters transacted in the
Maryland end of the building, but
Mr.. Sperry stated positively that it
was not the intention to sell liquor in
the building. He said he was aware
that the laws of Cecil county do not
allow it TO be sold or given away. AS
far as is known, however, there is no
law to prohibit the club members
from using liquor among themselves.
Whether there will be any liquor there
Mr.. Sperry did not say.
| James Morrison, the man who sold
the land, lives in Newark, and is now
working on the new building for the
new owner. Work is being pushed
rapidly, and it is an undeniable fact
that the protector or projectors want
the building and want it in hurry.
The work commenced Tuesday week,
and Thursday afternoon the piling was
all down, half the joists laid and part
of the floor completed. At the rate
the work is going on it will not take
many days TO finish the shell of the
building, and it is believed that the
fitting up of the interior will follow
as rapidly as practicable, so that the
new club house may be ready for use
in very short time
The location is peculiar. 1t is very
near territory the possession of which
is disputed by three States. 1t is also
but few hundred yards from the spot
where Sheriff William Herbert stopped
the proposed Kelly Collyer "mill''

to be few and far between, and what
is to be found there is of little interest
to ordinary mortals.
In addition to being on the Balti

holding has right of way to the
Cherry Hill road, which is about 2O(
