DISASTROUS FIRE .ATERrEp.
w. W. Sperry's Pluck Prevented an Ex-
 plosion and Blaze on State Street.

w. w. Sperry's Pluck Prevented an Ex-
 plosion and Blaze on State street.
 Shortly after o'clock yesterday after noon a disastrous fire was narrowly averted in the wholesale drug store of F. s. Calhoun X Co. on State street near Chapel street. In a storeroom in the rear of the store proper there was a large vat of phosphorus and directly underneath barrel of benzine. In some way the top of the vat became loose, allowing the air to enter, and soon the phosphorus began to sizzle over Had anysof it struck the barrel of benzine the result would have been an explosion which would have shaken the building to its foundations and a disastrous fire occurred.
 Just at this crisis w. W. Sperry of WesUille, clerk in the store, rushed into the storeroom and despite the fact that the fumes of the phosphorus near ly suffocated him succeeded in removing it out into the street, where he dumped it, thus preventing all danger. A still alarm was sent to No. 2s engine house and the apparatus promptly responded, but it's services were not nece ssary. Sperry was badly used up by the fumes of the phosphorus. The damage to the store was slight.

PROFESSOR BE11 AND THE F14e
A Discredited Story That a British Warship
 Hauled Down the Stars and Stripes.

q
 Halifax, N. S., Aug. 16.--A report has been in circulation to the effect that on the occasion of the British warship Canada visiting Baddeck, Cape Breton, a few weeks ago, the American flag was run up on the flag staff in front of Prof. Alex Graham Bells summer residence, by his orders, as the ship passed there, with the Brit ish flag floating beneath it. This being noticed on the Canada-so the story goes-a detachment was sent ashore in charge of an officer, who ordered the position of the flags reversed.
 The request was refused, and there upon the bluejackets of the Canada took the flags down by force. The story goes on that Prof. Bell was so exasper- ated that he discharged his servants, sent his family to Europe and decided to leave Baddeck forever.
 From information obtained from re- liable sources it is learned that the professors family is in Europe for the summer, according to an arrangement made some time previous, and in con- sequence the staff of employees has for the present been reduced. This seems to be the only foundation for the story.

CAN RECRUIT FROM CLUBS
NEW YORK AND LONDON BA1TLM
 MAY BE AN INTERNATIONAL ONE.


 Compete With the New Workers Is in Re- ality Team of All Great Britain-The Best of the Men of England Have Been Picked for the Contest.
 New York, Aug. 16,-The Amateur Athletic union has granted the result of the N. Y. A. C. to be allowed to re- cruit from other clubs and associations new men to strengthen it's ranks in it's battle with the London A. c. team next month. While the match was originally a club match between the New York Athletic club and the London Athletic club the action of the London Athletic club in availing itself of the pick of the athletic talent of Great Britain to such an extent that only three of the old members of the club are represented on the team makes the contest assume proportions of an international oharac- ter The London athletic team Is in reality a team of all Great Britain.
 The New York Athletic club did not feet sufficiently strong to compete against Great Britain and accordinglly decided to elect new members. When certain American athletes were ap- preached by the New York Athletic club with the view of joining. the club team they raised the point that by so doing they would, under section 1 and 2 of article x of the constitution of the A. A. U. jeopardize their amateur standing. The New York Athletic club in order to place the position of the athletes joining their team beyond any risks under the laws of the A. A. U. asked the A. A. U. for permission to enroll new members to strengthen their team for contest that would de- velope into an international match.
 Secretary Sullivan, of the A. A. U,. mailed copy of the New York Athletic club letter to each member of the board of governors and also communicated with them himself.

DEFENDER IS NOT INJURED
STATEMENTS BY CAPTAIN HIATT
 HAYE BEEN CONFIRMED.

Not Scratch Was Visible on Her Hull When an Examination Was Made of Her in the Dry Dock at Erie Basin-vigilant to Undergo an Overhauling.
 New York, Aug. 16.-An examination of the keel of the Defender in dry dock at Erie Basin to-day confirmed the statements of Captain Half that the grounding off Newport had not in the least injured her. Not scratch was visible. The Defender had her sid ', scraped and sandpapered during the afternoon and the work of painting her upper body was begun. Her underbody was cleared and triggers were put to work tuning up where necessary. The Vigilant is undergoing similar over hauling.
 It was stated about the dock that Measurer HysIop had remarked that the Vigilant was larger than when last measured. Asked to verify this, Mir. Hyslop would neither affirm nor deny the fact, but disclaimed having made the statement. The measurement of the Defender is said to have been sur- prise to a few who were let into the se- cret, being smaller than was supposed. It is stated that the racing figures of the yachts are almost Identical.
 There is a slight difference, it is said, which will give Vigilant a small time allowance. Achie Glennie Lord Dun- ravens representative, who arrived on the Majestic Wednesday, viewed the Defender after she was drydocked. He said:
 "She is smaller than the Valkyrie-- smaller than I had any idea she was. Her stick is not so lofty"
 Regarding the design, MT. Glennie said: T am told she stands up well. If with that small body she does that, then her design must be good"
 Of the relative merits and prospects of the Defender and valkyrie MT. Glen nie said he would prefer to say noth- ing
 No word has been received from Lord Dunraven's/ Valkyrie since she was sighted last Monday passing Cape Race. H. Maitland Kersey, Lord Dunraver's s representative, does not expect the boat ui1lll SuHuoy or MOLudy, oWluS to the short time the Valkyrie would have to change her rig and prepare for the international races, the dates will prob- ably be set for the middle or latter part of September instead of early in the month as has been talked of Under the terms of the deed of gift of the America cup the earliest date possible for the first race is ten months from the receipt of the challenge.
 Lord Dunraven's challenge was re- ceived by cable on the evening of De- cember 6. As the valkyrie will hardly arrive before Monday the 18th, the first of the cup races will not be set much before September 19.
 As ex-Commodore James D. Smith ot the cup committe puts it mo one wants ito place the Valkyrie at a disadvan- tage. We wish to see her come to the line in the best possible condition and if postponement of a few days will attain that end I am sure the cup com mittee will go half way to meet Lord Dunraven in the matter"
 MT. Smith states that the measure ments of the Defender, which are to be taken to-day or tomorrow, will not be given out until those of the Valkyrie III. are made public.
