sloop to get line on the British sloop
for the benefit of the sloop's syndicate. !
On board Valkyrie's tender, City of
Bridgeport, sailmaker Ratsey ana his as
sistants were busy during the morning on
the extra sails of Valkyrie doing theiI
work on the forward deck. 1t is quite
evident that the cup challenger haP
brought plenty of canvas with her and
that every precaution has been taken TO
supply her with extra sails of any de-
scription should she need them. People
who have seen her big iib and her big
mainsail have already started guessing
what her balloon jib and spinnaker will
turn out to be. The latter, especially, is
said to be a marvel of size, strength and
lightness. But in this respect the En-
glish yacht will have something remarlSn-
bly, fine to outclass the similar sails OF De-
fender and Viglant. I
The wind was northwest, blowing about
seven miles an hour, but boatinen pre-
dicted that 1t would eventually haul south
ward and that there would be good
breeze blowing during the afternoon.
Soon after 10 O'Clock Valkyrie was
under sail carrying mainsail, staysail,
jib and clubtopsail.
The wind had shifted TO the west, and
was blowing about eight miles an hour,
and the air was still somewhat bazy.
Valkyrie got under way with her boom
to starbuard and with ler mainsail, stay
sail, jib and clubtopsail filling prettiy
under the influence of the light breeze
blowing as she headed away for the deep
water around the Southwest Spit. Then
she came up little in the wind aud
hauled down her staysail, and with sheets
hauled well aft, she pointed up the bay
with the breeze blowing not more than
three or four miles an hour. Yet, in this
drifting breeze, Valkyrie heeled over
more than little under her prodigious
clubtopsail.
During this time Valkyrie had her stay
sail altered or else substituted for
another, for a staysail was again run up
as she went up the ship channel on the
port tack. When the staysail was judged
to be setting properly Valkyrie came
smartly around at the junction OF the
Swash channel ana headed down that
channel on the starboard tack.

An Engine of Election Warfare With
out Importance.

PARIS, Aug. 2S The Figaro this morn
ing declares that the Waller affair is un-
important, that Waller was only an Amer
ican consul through accident, that no
never did well and that his consular COL
leagues, in addition to the natives,
Stunned him.
The Figaro adds: Nothing serious can
result from the negotiations regarding his
condemnation, for he is not worth the
trouble. Castine incident Is more serious;
but any formal complaints should come
from France and not from America,
which Is entirely in the wrong. More
over, the American newspaper campaign
in this connection is nothing but an en-.
gine OF election warfare, without impor-
tance to us and aims much more against
the President and Mr.. Eustis.

of the road at "A slow rate when he saw "A team
being driven up the same side OF the road and
he expected the driver would cross with his
team to the proper side of the road, so the
wheelman kept right along. The driver of
the team also kept on the same side of the
road, and had tbs former not jumped he
would have been knocked of his wheel. AS it
was, his machine went under the wagon,

injury was done. While number of teams

NEW MANAGEMENT PROPOSED.
The Boats of the Fall River Line May
Make Sunday Trips Hereafter.

1t is currently reported that the steam
ers Mount Hope and Richard Borden will
be owned mostly by Providence people
by September 10. The boats will be run
under the present management during
the remainder of the season, and the
Richard Borden will probably run o. the
Providence and Fall River line al winter.
The project is to run the Richard Bor-
den TO Newport every day in the week,
Hope will run to Block Island as now,
but will make an excursion to shore re-
sorts every day. Both boats will run
Sundays hereafter. 1t is well-known
fact that there were some of the stock
holders of the present company, who
would not allow the boats TO be run Sun
day, but they have recently changed some
OF the stock for something else which
they think will be more profitable.
