Lowestoft, England, May 19.-The
fishing smack Vanduara of this port,
reports that Thursday last when SO
miles east southeast of Lowestoft, she
sighted large bark in sinking condit-
ion. Her pumps were choked and she
was showing signs of distress. A gale
was blowing at the time, but the mate
of the Vanduara and one of the crew
went to the bark in small boat. The
Vanduara sailed around the vicinity all
night and saw no lig hts. In the morn
ing the bark and the small boat had
vanished without making a sign or
sound. Shortly after the arrival of the
Vanduara the smacks Reno Valion and
Flora Belle came into port bringing
with them the Vanduura's small boat
which had been stove and the bodies of
four men, including that OF the Van
duara's mate. There was large cash
in the mates forehead. In one of the
boats was found a knuckle duster. 1t
was conjectured that the small boat
took off some of the crew of the bark
when they became panic stricken and
struggled and fought with the would-be
rescuers. Nothing is known of the
Otner men VINO were on the Dark, and
it is supposed they were lost.

St. Johns F., May 19.-The White
way party decided last night to present
retrenchment scheme involving re-
duction amounting to $500, 700 yearly to
the. legislature Tuesday. 1t is regarded
as impossible to retrench TO that extent
and the supposition is that the intro
duction of the scheme is merely prelimi-
nary to the acceptance of the royal COM
mission. The Whitewayites are despond-
ent over Secretary Bonds failure to OBJ
tain loan.
Hon. Moses Monroe, for many years
member of the legislative council, and
one of the largest merchants in st.
Johns, died today. He was leading

garded as the geratest loss to the country

to justify the belief that President

that the state and navy departments
have been unusually active in the last

Dunravien Refuses ALL Offers For
other Races in This "BIawsted,
Country, and Will Psgck Up His
Tub and Go Home.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The conclusion
of the international yacht races for the
Americas cup furnished text for arti-
cles in the London afternoon papers.
In general, the press upholds Lord
Dunraven in his refusal to sail over
the course yesterday without guar
antee that it would be kept clear of
excursion steamers and other craft. In
leader, the Pail Mall Gazette says
the result is unfortunate and will be
deplored quite as deeply by sporting
men in America as by the same class
in England. The article puts the whole
blame for the fiasco upon the hindering
steamers and concludes: But no one
is to blame, who is worth blaming.
We can only hope arrangements for
future contests of this character will
be under more satisfactory conditions"
In the yachting column, the Pail Mall
Gazette says: "While in our opinion
Defender, under fair conditions would
probably have beaten Valkyrie in at
least three out of five races, we cannot
but regret that Valkyrie had no chance
of sailing under fair conditions. To
say Defender Worthily retained the cup
would be ridiculous"
II Il6T OH III the same article the
Gazette says: eve hope Earl Dun
raven will consent to sail for the pro
| posed cup off Marblehead, as all are
anxious to see the comparative merits
of the yachts tested, and may the best
boat win. Should Vallxyrie win, which
We think improbable, neither Lord
Dunraven nor anyone else would
bother to challenge again for the
Americas cup, which the new trophy
Il
we know Lord DunraVen would take
the beating like sportsman. Thus
the races of 1895 would be brought to
pleasant conclusion and further chal-
lenge for the. new cup be merely
matter of a few years. If Valkyrie III
returns without race, it means the
owner is Convinced he did not have
fair treatment at the hands of the
| committee, and no contest for the cup
is likely to occur, even though the COM
nittee decided that future races shall
be sailed where there was certainty of
a fair course"
The Sun, which throughout has made
sneering comments upon the Ameri-
cans as sportsmen, says: A feeling has
! grown up here that fair competition
must not be looked for in a, contest for
the. cup. but adds it does not sympa-
thize with that view
The Evening News says the whole
business is in the highest degree dis
creditable to the reputation of the
Americans as sportsmen.
The Westminster Gazette says: ''Of
course, we all love our American friends
! very much, but our newspapers beg to
assure them that we all cordially sup
! port Lord Dunraven's retiring in dis
J gust from a contest involving so much
rowdyism and unfairness.''
| The st. James Gazette says: "Once
! again the great Anglo-American sport
ing contest has ended merely in fasco
! and a quarrel, not an unusual expert
| ence''
The Globe puts the entire blame upon
me excursion steamers and thoroughly
! endorses Earl Dunraven's course.

traditions Of British sport"

PICKING AND PACKING APPLES.

George A. Cochran. of Massachusetts,
says: In packing a, barrel select d palr
sample of the contents for the Dottoii
layer. Place the apples, stems down,
in the form of a ring, beginning at the
outside, and having secured TINS layer
firmly, place the second layer IN SO as
to fit closely in the interstices, then I'LL
the barrel quickly and gently, and
when one-third full rock it slightly to
settle the apples. Repeat this rock
ing when the barrel is about three
fourths full, and when it is filled place
a padded board on the top, and rock
it while the board Is held down firmly.
Then place in enough more apples to
form a cone at least two inches above
the chime. Now force the head down
with the head screw presser, nail the
chime hoops, both top and bottom, Sc
curely and have the head lining suf-
ficiently to lap the presser that forms
the head.
Never pick red apples until they are
Of a good color. It is an expensive
blunder to wait until the last moment
and then strip the tree Of all its fruit.
1t is also a mistake to pick the apples
faster than they can be packed. 1t is
a good plan to go over the trees a
week or fortnight before the picking
and remove the well-developed and
well-colored fruit and market it at
once. Aside from the advantage of
early marketing, such pickings help
the fruit which remains, increase it's
size, and improve it's color. Apples
should be headed up at once, and if
they are to be held they should be hur-
ried into cold storage, as. near a tenn
perature of thirty-two degrees as pos
sible. They should never be allowed to
lie on the ground, and under no cir
cumstances should they be exposed to
the sun or rain after being picked or
hacked

Ill Lord Dunraven and C. Oliver
