men, be it said, that there is at least
one journal published in the Queens
dominions whose editors are not so
bigoted and big-headed as to prevent
them seeing some good in America and
Americans. The small-fry sporting
papers, the fellows who depend to a
great extent upon the yachtsmen of
England for a living, and who are
doubtless the recipients of many favors
from Dunraven and other alleged
sports, have upheld the actions of the
earl in the late unpleasantness; that
was to be expected. Had Dunraven
smashed Tffany's window and carried
off the coveted cup, still would he
have probably been applauded by some
as making an effort to obtain some
thing that he had coYeted-the cup
that he desired to present to the
queen.
No such paper is the London Times.
Coolly and dispassionately reviewing
the late meeting from start to finish
it cannot understand why Iselin's gen.
erous offer to resail the second race
should not have been accepted by
Dunraven in the spirit in which the
offer was made. To the mind of the
Times, it was the Englishman who
showed how narrow was his views,
and that, throughout the Americans
showed the true sporting instinct.
Concluding, the great newspaper says:
1.-THE impartial verdict of nautical his
tory will say that Lord DunraVen
failed to uphold the best traditions of
English yacht racing"
1t is really refreshing to discover,
like an oasis in a desert, an English
man or an English paper willing to
give to America or Americans the
credit that is due.
Here's to the Times!
Truly has it been said: "Dunraven
came in like a sport, but went out
like tin-horn."
I say it on the mountain path,
say it on the mountain stairs;
The best things any mortal hath
Are those which every mortal shares.
The grass is softer to my tread,
For rest it yields unnumbered feet;
Sweeter to me the wild rose red,
Because it makes the whole world
sweet.

On September 8, at 1 o'clock p. m, a
letter was mailed at the Kansas City
postoffice to test the wits and bright
ness of the postoff1ce people. The adj
dress was 278 North Broadway, "Blue
Grass Regions, the Land of Pretty
Women, Fast Horses and Good
The letter reached its destination
promptly and the receiving stamp of
the postoff1ce at Lexington. KY. is
100 p. M, September 8.
Such tests of the postoff1ce depart
ment have been made before, and in
every recorded case have shown the
perspicuity of the officials. Now. the
locality called the Blue Grass country
is well known, but there are other
towns therein besides Lexington. How
ever, there is no other town with a
North Broadway; that wide shaded
avenue lined with the mansions of the
Blue Grass aristocracy. And Licking
ton is the capital of the region.
The election advertising in New
York city is a pretty piece of patron
age, worth about $4,000 year to each
paper getting it. The pie is divided be-
tween one Democratic and one Repub-
lican paper, and there is lively
for the contract. On the Re-
publican side the Tribune has usually
been favored, but last year the Press
came out ahead It is said that the
Tribune stands the better chance this
year, owing to its support of the Re-
form movement.
