ACCIDENT TO DEFENDER.
Lost to vigilant Through the Breaking OF
Her Steering Gear.

~rE"N
Her Steering Gear.
NEW LoxDOS Conn, July 3l.-Vigl-
liant beat Defender in a run of Ga miles
from Eaton point on the Long Island shore,
four miles from Huntington harbor, to
this port, the cup defender giving up the
race when not far from this port owing to
her steering gear having become deranged.
A strong southwest by south breeze,
varying i'm strength from 10 to 22 knots,
blew throughout the main portion of the
race, which was broad reach ON the star
board tack from start to finish and with
hardly the shift Of sail. When Defender
gave up the race, it was estimated that she
was fully five minutes ahead of Vigilant,
and the new yacht was looked upon as
sure winner, barring accidents. but the
unexpected accident occurred, and Defend
er met hor first defeat.
The Nigilnnt had a little the best Of
the start and kept we'll ahead for some
time. Finally, however, she got into a
lufling match with Defender, the latter
pressing her closely, and Defender walked
up ahead and to windward, pulled gradu-
ally away, and, it is estimated, was about
five minutes ahead when nearing New
London. Then she suddenly lufled up,
lowered her topsail, signaled for a tug and
was eventually towed TO her anchorage i'm
the harbor The general opinion expressed
after the race was that Defender would
undoubtedly have won the race had she
been able to finish.
The result Of the race demonstrates very
little unless it is that in broad reach OF
over 90 miles, in stiff breeze. Defender
can beat Vigilant but not by quite AS
wide margin as her admirers would like
it to be.
Constellation, in the schooner class
made remarkable run, covering the
course in 4 hours 80 minutes "a seconds
really remarkable performance. Con
stellaton, the pride of Boston, was tn,
first yacht TO reach this harbor and hei
time compares finely with Nigilants
| hours 40 minutes 81 seconds.

TEST INSURANCE CASE.
Right TO Exhume Bodies of Policy Holders
TO BE Decided.

ALBANY, July 31.-The right of insur-
anco companies 60 cxhume tho bodies Of
policy holders is to be determined by the
court Of appeals on tho appeal just filed in
the case of Charles Wehle against the
United States Accident association to re-
cover $4,000 on a policy on the life of
Henry Wchle, who was found drowned at
Rockaway on Sept. 4, 1893 When the case
came to trial, it was dismissed ON proof
that demand Of the insurance company
to make an examination of the body after
the burial had been denied by the repre-
sentativcs Of Mr.. Wehle.
Tho court says that the examination Of
a body cannot be had unless the contract
calls for such examination in unequivocal
terms. 1t is pointed ont that the contract
calls for the exhumation and not the ex-
animation of the body. As Wehle was not
buried until Sept. 8, it is held that tho
company should have applied for the ex-
animation before burial instead Of after
ward.
