The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-11

The emperor could have been seen
nearly every day in the grounds OF
the royal yacht squadron castle, look
ing a thorough yachtman in his serge
jacket yachting cap, white duck pants
and russell leather shoes.
GouId's Niagara
The yachtsmen at Cowes and else
where in England are surprised at the
gr0 atty improved form shown by Mr.
in her recent race. The Yachtsman,
| which at first regarded Niagara as
! being no match for her English rivals,
is now forced to admit itself to have
been mistaken, and said: Niagara has
proved to be a very distinct success
/ She required to be tuned when she
first came over, and now this is done
blow high, or blow low, we shall be
much surprised to see Niagara far
astern of any twenty-rater in British
/ waters
If 1t was necessary to furnish strong
er proof of Niagara's greatly improved
! form than that afforded in the recent
races in the Solent, it exists in the fact
! that Britannia barely saved her time
I from her at the Royal Munster regatta
where only a few seconds saved the
Prince of Wales cutter from a humil-
iating defeat. The poor showing made
.
now racing in British waters, Prince
Leopold of Prussia's Isolde, compared
with Niagara, is mainly due to the
fact that Mr.. Gould's yacht is much
better handled.
An English View.
Referring TO the Americas cup pros
pect, the Yachtsman says: Tt seems
that Defender is not likely to prove a
mere fine weather boat, as thought by
US Britishers, for it seems in breeze
she can stand on her legs as well as
Vigilant. Comparing what the De-
fender did against Vigilant on Mon
day and Valkyrie HIS show against
Britannia on July 3, we should say
that Valkyrie will meet quite a match
in Defender if the wind blows strong.
In light winds, however, we have got
confidence in VallSyrie."
The foregoing comments can safely
be said to reflect the opinion held by
the majority of British yachtsmen.
Rap ut ROsebery.
Mr. Gladstones speech at Chester on
Tuesday last on the Armenian ques-
ton was received with interest in Eng
land and all through Europe. In some
quarters it is looked upon as sharp
rap at Lord Rosebery, the ex-premier,
and as directly supporting Salisbury
III dIy Slcpo IilO llCW 65OFOAAA AAAcJ
take toward coercion Of the porte into
doing something for reform in Ar
menia.
On the other hand some of the Lon
don newspapers, the Post for instance,
class Mr.. Gladstone's utteranceS as be-
ing dangerously mischevious," and is
likely to kindle civil war in Turkey,
which, according to the Post, may
spread into another European confta-
grafton and eventually threaten India
with renewal of the horrible scenes
witnessed during the Sepoy mutiny in
1867
The Times took an entirely different
view of the speech. He did not say
a word calculated to hamper Lord
Salisbury's government. His impas-
stoned speech did not go beyond facts.
If the speech assists, as it doubtless
will, in bringing about the desired
consummation, he will be rewarded for
an effort unparalleled even as a mere
physical achievement by a man Of his
age"
Irish Unity Needed.
The letter which was published on
Wednesday last from Mr.. Justin Nc
Carthy appealing for party unity
among the Irish members of parlia-
ment has fallen rather fat here. If
only from the fact that while making
the appeal, Mr.. Mccarthy took the OPP
portunity of making a hot attack upon
Mr.. Healy which is not calculated to
further unity to any great degree.
The well-wishers of Ireland deplore all
such discussion and look forward to the
time when members of parliament will
really come together and attempt to
do something for the good of Ireland,
instead of fighting among themselves
for the leadership of the Irish parlia-
mentary party. Until all such petty
jealousies are completely buried little
or nothing can be done for Ireland by
those who pretend to be seeking for
harmony. At least this is the opinion
recently expressed by a gentleman who
has some knowledge of the inside work
ings of the parliamentary party.
HaIstead on Whitney.
Mr.. Murat Halstead of Brooklyn, has
had pleasant time in London When
questioned by a reporter of the Associ-
ated Press upon American politics, he
said: 'I think that Mr. Whitney has
the best chance of the Democratic !
The question of r. third |
term was forever settled when Cen
eral Grants nomination was defeated. /
Governor Morton is certain to have the /
support Of New York and Governor /
would have an enormous ma
jority in Ohio.
