the principal topic of discussion in
London the last few days. 1t must be

Ormonde, Vice Commodore of the
ROYAL Yacht Squadron, that American
yachts and yachtsmen will always be
welcome here, that this will not be the

Central & Hudson River railroad, in
its run from New York to Buffalo, has

the time.it is claimed that the run

%, a distance of 548 miles, was made
in 512 minutes, including stops, an
