DEFENDER THE WINNER
Il WONDERFUL SCENE OF ENTHUsI-
ASM ar THE FINISH.

yalkyrie III Made Gallant Fight for the
Supremacy But Was Outsailed in Light
Winds and When the Breezes BIew-The
New Haveners and the Richard Peck, the
Flyer of the Sound.
New York, Sept, S.--The first of the
series of races between the Defender
and the Valkyrie for the Americas
cup was sailed outside of Sandy Hook
yesterday in a light breeze and an "old
sea" of considerable weight. The
course was from a point off Seabright,
N. j., fifteen miles to windward east
by south, and return.
The wind blew at rate of about six
or seven knots per hour, and the rae
ers covered the course in about five
hours. In the beat to windward the
Defender outsailed the Valkyrie by
nearly three and one-half minutes, and
en- the run home she added another
five minutes to her victory, thus beat
ing her opponent by considerable more
than eight minutes and a half.
The victory was most decided and
by margin that was wholly unexpect-
ed. All the yachting experts who had
expressed an opinion at all had de-
clared it to be their belief that the
Valkyrie could win in a light breeze,
and her fame in English waters during
her brief career there was made as a
light-weather boat. A few old yachts
men on this side had said that in a
light breeze and a rolling sea the De-
fender would win, and these proved to
be correct in their judgment.
Lord Dunraven himself said in a
recent interview that he thought his
herself in a breeze, and it may yet
turn out that this is true estimate; but
1t seems very unlikely, after yester-
days race, that she can move through
the water with the celebrity of the De-
fender in any kind of weather at all.
Blow high or blow low, after yester-
days work the latest Herreshoff crea-
ton looks like a sure winner, and the
historic old cup ought to remain on
this side of the Atlantic, unless the I'M
expected happens.
A great fleet of vessels carried spec
tators to see the first of the struggles,
and, judging by the scene at the finish,
all believed the cup to be safe. 1t was
one of splendid, inspiring enthusiasm.
Steamships, steam yachts, steamboats,,
and tugs crowded around tine finish
line, and, while shriek1ng whistles rent
the misty air, deep-lunged American
cheers rang across the waters and tens
of thousands of hats and handkerchiefs
waved,

OFFICIAL TIME.

TO-MORROW'S TRIANGULAR RACE
After finishing the race both yachts
were towed to their anchorages for the
night The next race will be on Tues
day. The course will be an equilateral
triangle of ten miles to each leg, if pos
sible, being to windward. 1t is possible
that come changes will be made in
the Valkyrie's trim before thaE race
Yesterdays race may satisfy those who
are in charge of her that her speed
can be improved by altering her ball
last and trim, or by changing her spars
and rig. If this is aone, the yacht
will have to go to Erie Basin again
to be remeasured. Yachtsmen want to
see a good clubtopsail breeze on Tues
day, and on Thursday a hard blow so
that the yachts can only carry work
ing topsails. If the weather favors
them like this, there will be three good
tests, all under different conditions.
AS SEEN FROM THE RICHARD
PECK.
The New York Times gives a graphic
account of the wonderful scenes at the
race, as seen from the New Haven
steamer Richard Peck and says:
1t was big crowd that went out
to see the preliminary battle for the
possession of the mug that has cost
more in yacht-building experiments
than a whole storage warehouse full of
Americas cups would cost.
Lord Dunraven is reported to have
said that he built a boat that would
certainly give the Yankees represen-
tative a race at their favorite game
a drifting match" said Senator Hawley
of Connecticut, who with his English
born wife, were interested witnesses
Of the contest from the "fier of the
sound" the steamer Richard Peck, yes
terday. But if this is the best that
the Valkyre can do, there seems to be
no doubt whatever as to where the
Americas cup will rest for this year, at
least. The Defender has beat her
roundly both in windward work and
in running, and as the wind, or rather,
the lack of wind, was supposed to be
the strong point of the Valkyrie, there
seems no good reason why the rest of
the races should not be gift for the
American representative"
The declaration of General Haw1ey
seemed to voice the sentiments of the
people who saw the race from the
crowded decks of the Richard Peck,
the party including a host of yachting
enthusiasts from Hartford, New Haven
and Springfield. Commodore Holcomb
of the New Haven Yacht club agreed
exactly with General Hawley, and so
did the rest of the members of the New
Haven Yacht club, who watched every
movement of the boats carefully and
critically.
But, besides watching the movements
of the racing yachts, the party had a
splendid chance to watch what was to
the majority of the people who went
down the bay about as interesting a
sight. That was the formation Of as
pretty a flotilla of boats as was ever
gathered in the waters of the band
soonest harbor in the world.
Most of the people on the Richard
Peck were from up in New Eng
land, who had come to New Haven by

AS predicted in yesterdays PRESS,
some Is or Is rollers at the Rolling Mills

noon three of the strikers. who had been
INDUCING in liquor, went down to the
mills and assaulted one of the rollers,
Mr.. Will Day, who. had declined to leave
work, beating him badly. Word was at

as the camp ground, just before reach
ing the mills they were seen by the.three
men, who took flight. Two of them ran
on the railroad track as two trains were
crossing in opposite directions. They
had narrow escape from death, for they
had to get onto narrow plank between
the two trains, and any movement to
one side or the other would have caused
them to be struck by one or the other
OF the two engines. They got away.
The third man was collared by the
officers and made quite resistance, so

DULSE CATERERS.
Three Old Women On Outer Green Island
They Live There in the Little Hut and
Gather DuI se.

Two men from Long Island went out
to the Green islands and the Junk of
Pork on a cunning trip last Saturday.
They shot about 30 small sand birds
and rock birds, but the ducks haven It
yet begun to fly in any great numbers.
On Little Green island there is still the
hut in which the old man Stone lived,
when he kept his famous wolf dogs
there On this island the two gunners
were surprised to find three old Irish
women, walking about on the weed-cov-
cred rocks, at low tide, and engaged in
gathering dulse. The women said that
they had come there to stay week. They
had been brought by man from Port
land, who was at that time gone to the
city with boat load of dulse Whether
he returned that day or not the gunners
didn't learn, but it seemed a pretty desc
late place for three old women to live in
and it now must be decidedly cold out
there in the night time. Afterwards an
other Long Island man told the gunners
that he knew tho man who took the old
women on the island and said that he
was making $50 week by the gathering
of this dulse and the selling of it in New
York.

TROUBLE BEGUN
Tho Public Schools Opened Auspiciously
Yesterday.

Yesterday the Portland public schools
opened for the season of 1866, and 1t
was q most attractive sight to witness
the gathering of bronzed and sunburned
girls and boys, full of life and spirit, re-
ioicing in the good health that comes
with the long summer outing. They
thronged the school yards, and filled the
corridors of the great buildings which re-
sounded with their high voices and merry
laughter
A tour of the schools showed that all
the buildings were in the pink of con
dition, as stated in an article on that
subject published last week in the
PRESS. Mr.. Bowen, the superintendent
of school buildings, and the janitors are
entitled to great credit for their efforts IN
this direction.
At the High school there was full
house. The class that entered this year is
very large, about 225 pupils, and 1T Is
probable that over 600 pupils are receiving
instruction within the High school walls.
There have been several changes in in
structors. Principal Chase remains at
| the head, but among the new faces are
Mr.. Ellis, the Latin teacher; Miss Taylor,
formerly of the Butler school, who Will
teach English; Miss Mantle and Miss
Annie P. Higgins.
The Practice school shows among the
new teachers Miss Skillings of the Train
ing school, of 49, Miss Hodgkins of the
class of '94, Miss Dunning from the
Pennington Normal school, and Miss
Folsom of Bangor, in place Of Miss
Gallison, resigned, Miss Gould, trans
ferred to the Monument street, Miss
Griffin, resigned and Miss WEIGH trans
ferred to the North street.
At the Butler school one room had to
be dismissed yesterday as there was no
teacher for it, nor any substitute. There
are two new teachers at this school Miss
Davis, formerly of Park street and Miss
Hoyt. One position is vacant.
At the jackson school Miss Eva A.
Field had charge of. a class as temporary
teacher, and Miss Doughty OF this year S
training school is new teacher.
At the North Grammar, Miss Jordan
has been added to the staff, former sue
cessful teacher at Cape Elizabeth.
At Smaller school Miss Foss has taken
the place of Miss Hallowell and Miss
Mainline of last years training class is a
temporary teacher.
At the Mcclellan school Miss Stevens
made her appearance for the first time as
principal.
A new kindergarten has been estab-
| lished in the Brackett street school with
Miss Marion Worcester in charge. The
school numbers twenty five pupils.
Mrs. Mabel Sargent has left the Chest
nut street kindergarten to accept a
position of greater emolument at New
tonville, Mass. Miss johnson has been
placed in temporary charge of the school.
Miss Brown has charge of Peaks Island
school in place of Mrs. Curtis
At the Vaughan street school there was
very small attendance; only fifteen
children. 1t would seem that there is one
school too many in this district. That,
however, is a matter for the supervisors
to determine.
The primary schools appear in as
flourishing condition as the grammar. 1t
is expected that when the returns are
made and tabulated it will be shown
there are over 5000 pupils in the schools
