LONDON. Sept. IL. - Starboard tacks,
rules of the road at sea, the right OF a
yacht engaged in a race TO claim a course
free from impediment from pleasure craft,
and, principally, the Earl of Dunrayen'
conduct In refusing to finish the races for
that most famous international sporting
trophy, the Americas cup, have formed
the principal topic OF discussion in Lon
oon the last few days. IL must be ad-
nitt1i, despite the fair comments of the
best London newspapers, the polite as
surance of such power in the yachting
world as Mr.. Ormonde, vice-commodore
OF the Royal Yacht Club Squadron, that
American yachts and yachtsmen will al
ways be welcomed here, that this will
not be the case There has always been a
feeling here against Americans, as has
fairly been shown in all the recent in
ternational contests. Every American
who has lived for any length of time in
England must have become familiar with
this feeling, which crops out on all occa-
sions. A former American am mbassador, VINO
was one of the most popular men who ever
came to England, and who was received
upon terms of greater intimacy by the
most exclusive circles in England than
any OF his successors have been, once
said TO a representative of The Associated
Press, alluding TO an article in The st.
James Gazette, paper which has always
been noted for its hostility to Americans:
Il regard that paper as true exponent o.
the feeling OF the British people with re-
gard to America. They do not like us;
1t Is OF no use trying to persuade our
selves otherwise
The great rush of Americans homeward-
bound Is perceptibly diminishing, accord
ing TO reports from the steamship offices.
Indeed, there Is reason to believe that the
rush for passage on board the steamers
was never so great as the companies all
faA Int ft.os
within o month are known OF where pas
sengers had no trouble in getting berths
on crack liners.
1t is disputed here that the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad, in
the run from New York to Buffalo, has
beaten the English railway, record. As
was cabled TO The Associated Press at the
time, 1t is claimed that the run from
London to Aberdeen on August %, a
distance of 54S miles, was made in 512
minutes, including stops, an average
speed of 63 miles and 495 yards an hour,
while the run from New York to Buffalo
averaged 40 yards less than that made
in Great Britain.
The will of the socialist, Fred Engels,
leaves the bulk OF his property, valued at
s125 600, TO his two daughters.
Mr.. Hall Caine sails by the White Star
steamer Teutonic next Wednesday, carry
ing with him letters from the Right Hon.
JOStDu sttECldTl OI btht6
for the colonies Despite the utterances
OF Sir Charles Upper, the Canadian hign
commissioner, Mr.. Caine expects friend
ly hearing from the Canadian Govern
ment on the subject of copyright. Mr.
Caine said TO representative of The AS
sociated Press today that English authors
were willing to admit the right OF Cana
da TO govern herself, whether wisely or
unwisely, put what they complain OF is
that Canada demands the right TO govern
one section of the English people. Mr..
Caine will be the guest of Mr.. Appleton,
In the United States. He has accepted
an invitation to reception by the New
York Authors Club and to dinner at
the Lotus Club He goes to Canada by
way OF Boston.
Prince Christian, eldest son of the crown
prince of Denmark, to whom II 10 report
ed the Princess Maud of Wales is en-
gagged is neither so handsome nor so well
endowed as his younger brother, Prince
Carl However he is certainly more popu-
lar than the latter. He is unaffected,
kindly ana simple, an excellent son and a
good brother. He Is very tall being six
inches over six feet, and Is an enthusias-
tic horseman, though, owing to his
height, he sits on his horse in somewhat
awkward fashion.
The rumor has been current in theatri-
cal circles for some time that Augustin
DAILY was in danger Of losing his London
theater. The past season was exceedingly
disastrous from financial point of view,
and the rent OF the theater, s2b, 900, is q
large one for the limited season in which
1t is occupied by Days company. How
ever George Edwardes has arranged TO
take the house in Leicester square off Mr.
Dsly's hands for portion of the season,
and will revive the successful paly, "The
Artists Model, I" with most of the origi-
nal cast
wilfred Clarke was obliged to discon-
tinue the run OF "Tbe New York Di-
vorcee on 10th Street. " When the season
began on August 10 II was scarcely ex-
pected that the run would be SO long. Mr..
Clarke has been SO successful in his ven-
ture that he will probably soon again en-
bark in London management.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, who are now in
the provinces, will soon produce, proba-
bly, at Hull, Sydney Grundy's new play
"fhe Grandest OF These.
Some OF the dramatic papers call atten-
tion TO the fact which is now coming out
that IL was a play entitled. CHARITY"
by w. s. Gilbert, that the kendals made
a dire failure in some 20 years ago, at the
Haymarket Theater.
The Kendals, who began their season
at Blackpool, have thus far met with but
scant success.
During his American tour Sir Henry
Irving will produce a little fairy tale OF
Christmas time, which has been trans
lated from a French play by his youngest
son, Laurence Irving. The characters
will probably be played by Maud Wilton
and May Whitly and Sydney Valentine
and Fuller Mellis.
After long, diligent search Weed
on Grossmith has at last found a
piece which be considers suitable
TO himsel. and the public. The new farce
will be placed in rehearsal at once, and
produced as soon as possible at the Vaude-
willie. The resumption by Mr.. Grossmith
OF managerial functions at this theater
Involves the departure of It's present ten
ant, Fred Kerr, who, however, has made
arrangements for removing "The Strange
Adventures OF Miss Brown" TO Terry's
Theater at the conclusion of 1.-THE Prude' q
Progress, now running there.
