The Field (NsHspap,r) Worked Up 10 a
Ridiculous Frenzy Over The Result.
DEFENDER WAS ALSO 0BSTRUCTED,
But That Does Not Seem to Strike the
Britishers Sporting Times Con-
cedes Defenders superiority-The
Catholic Conference.

Monday and terminated Thursday. The
questions before the conference were
not new, but the meeting derived un-
wonted interest from Cardinal Naughan's
address on Christian reunion.
The Archbishop OF Canterburys re-
cent misslve on this subject which was
a reply 10 the Popes letter 10 the Eng
lish people requested a reply and cardi-
nal Vaughan gave it in such clear terms
as will end discussion within the Angl-
can church on the basis of an agreement
With the Roman Catholic Church.
The kernel of the question OF the re-
union of Christondom said Cardinal
Vaughan consisted in the admission OF
the Roman claim that the Pope had re-
ceived by divine right, authority to teach
and govern the whole church. The es-
sence OF the Anglican position was a ne
CATION of the Roman claim. Until this
claim was admitted, no baisi of reunion
was possible.
REPUDIATED PLAN.
The Cardinal further declared that he
did not expect TO witness the submission
of the English people as a body TO claims
that were repudiated at the time OF the
reformation. He looked 10 the slower
process OF individual conversion.
These declarations have been i'll re-
ceiyed By the Ritualsts OF England, and
are said TO be also causing the Pope
disappointment, as a check to his plans
for reunion Of the churches.
The report was received as true among
the members Of the Congress that at the
next consistory at Rome another cardi-
nal will be created for England. The
Congress concluded on Thursday with
pilgrimage 20 Glastonbury abbey, the old
est shrine IN ngland.

hundred robed clergy, travelled by train
from Bristol 10 Glastonbury. 1t was not
very long ago that popular sentiment
would not have allowed such a Pilgrim
age.
On Thursday a large crowd watched
with the greatest sympathetic interest the
long banner-carrying procession compos-
cd OF Catholic guilds. Jesuits, Domni-
cans, Franc.scans, Benedctines, and Car
melites. alternately singing and reciting
prayers.
The scene was an impressive and pic
turesque one, and marked an immense
change in the position OF the Roman
Catholic Church in England.
Time does not soften the keenness OF
British chagrin over the outcome of the
Americas Cup contest.

as the other from this cause.
THE GENERAL OPINION.
In common with other English papers
tbe Field declares that the conditions
governing the cup contests need re-
modelling notably that rule requiring
thar the challenger must sail the ocean
ON her own bottom. while the defender
of the cup can be any lightly-rgged rat
