PRES. G. PERC!vAL STEWART
Makes Statement Regarding Condition Of
Granite State Prevalent Association.

Manchester, n H, Sept. 23,-Prcsi-
dent G. fercival Stewart of the Granite
State Provident Association, gave out a
letter, today, which says the association is
all right. 1t is in reply to the report OF
Bank Commissioner Written of Maine,
printed, last Thursday, which says it is all
wrong President Stewart summarizes
his case as follows;
The association Is solvent. 1t can carry
ont it's contracts. 1t can mature its shares
At the time estimated Its expense do not
average more than ,. 40 per cent per an
nun on the shares carried to maturity.
1t has invested more money in the State
Of Maine than it has taken our. 1t has
not been an injury to the savings banks
and building and loan associations because
1t has not taken money out of the State
and because it bias largely operated in
towns too small for these institutions t.
become established.
The 800, 900 guarantee fund does
guarantee liabilities and expenses and |
did not borrow money at Per cent. to
loan at per cent. hut borrowed money
1t per cent. so that l might purchase
800. 600 of stock which the members
would have the use of for one year and a
half for nothing.
That according to MIR Whittens own
showing the company could not have a
deficit That his report, which was in
tende to iniure the business of the associa
ton in Maine, while it cannot affect the
condition of the association, is calculated
to have the effect of so alarming the share
holders that they will sacrifice their hold
ings and thus sustain great loss,
Mr. Stewart trusts that Hon. 7. +. Tim
berlake the new bank examiner, will ac-
cept the invitation rendered to him TO
make personal examination, and, for the
benefit of the public and the Governor and
Council, state who is telling the truth

WHAT DOES IT MEAN !?
The Meaning Of Insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost.
Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is 1t not as essential to know ~
that the company promising this
indemnity Is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but az the same time
throws you out of your home or
your business.
We never have lost company by
failure, in business of twenty
years experience. Never had
company make an assessment.
Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business In Maine
have failed or gone out Of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is 1t not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorestP

Ethelwynn, 12.45.OO 447.I5
Spruce ", 12.4500 4.5LjG
The wind at the start was from four to
six knots an hour and froshened during
the beat home until 1t blew at least 10
knots. During the second run to leewerd,
it decreased two CT three knots. and dur
ing the final beat home it hauled more to
the south. After one IN shore tack from
the mark both shippers were able To Law a
port tack that carried them to the finish
line.
In the windward work, today, Ethel
wynn stood up TO the pufls quite as well
as her rival while in running free the
honors were with the Spruce, and on the
latter point of sailing the tiny boats were
wonderfully evenly matched
After passing the point Of Lloyd'S neck
on the last homowaId reach, the American
boat sailed with essed Sheets but for al
most half an hour MIR. Brand kept Spruce
vi close hauled and pointed high, thus
seemingly losing ground that might have
been saved had he kept the boat under
better Roadway by starting the sheets.
This, if an error in judgment was the
only one made and was due possibly to his
fear that the wind might not hold its
southcrly slant, In which case he had rea-
son to calculate that the tide setting out
from the bay into the sound, would force
him to lceward.
When the Spruce " crossed the line.
although nearly s minutes vauduished,
Skipper Brand showed his gaminess by
joining with his sailor lad Wade Of
Wivenhoe" in three times three for his
rival, though the Ethelwynn was in tow
and out OF earshot.
Later when Spruce ~, in tow Of pri-
vate launch, came up with her competitor
on the way in, Owner Field and the helms
man, Mr. Ball, joined with his friends on
the towing launch in several rounds of
three cheers and tiger for Mr. Brand,
Spruce " and Wade of Wivenhoe. -
On the club tlust where both rivals met,
there was the jolliest Of Handwriting.
To Owner Field and the skipper, Mr.
Brand offered his hearticst congratula
tons.
As the breeze was about four knots
strength at start, the Tiny craft were able
to manoeuvre shortly for positions. In
crossing the Ethelwynn had five seconds
the best of it, and, gybing her boom to
starboard, she spread her spinnaker to port
in seamanlike shape On the Spruce ~,
skipper Brands lad from Wivenhoe had
bit Of trouble
The Spruce soon blanketed her leader
and drew up TO wiDdward on even terms,
and at ] o 'Ciock had lead Of about 200
feet, Then for time the positions were
stationary. The EthelUynn began to gain,
until at IL 30 she was close astern of tie
Spruce.
In three minutes more she had drawn |
through the Briton's lee and showed her |
head with clear water between them. BY |
this time two miles of the distance to the I
mark bad been covered and during the re-
naming mile the American boat main 4
tanned her lead, though unable to increase
it to more than 200 feet. (

"OLD COURT HOUSE" BULLARD
He Is Angry Because the City Is Tired o.
His DOings

John A. Bullard, yesterday sought
an injunction in the superior court
against the city of Los Angeles to enjoin
the city through its street superintendent
from tearing down the fence around the
old court house square and taking away
the privileges he has abused by blockad
ing the streets. His parsimonious meth
ods have kept him six months erecting
a 500. 600 building a most ordinary builder
would have had In the painters hands
long ago. He began operations February
1st last.
Bullard claims that he is putting up a
800, 900 building on his lot and that the
city claims a portion OF his inclosure.
He says the city has threatened to tear
down his fence and such a proceeding
would injure him $4,000 worth.

THE AILSA SPLIT HER JIB.
And the Britannia Finished Alone
in the Southampton Regatta.

LONDON, June 13, 1S95.-The regatta
of the Royal Southampton Yacht Club,
in which only the crack English cutters,
Britannia and Ailsa took part, was de-
layed this morning by calm that was
not dissipated until nearly eleven o'clock,
when a gentle southeasterly breeze
sprang up. The course was eastward
from Netley, three miles below South
ampton, in Southampton water, out in
the open to the Warner Lightship, thence
10 and around a mark boat off Lyming-
ton Spit, in the Solent, and back to Net
ley, a distance of forty-four miles. The
yachts carried. clubtopsails and jibtop-
sails. 1t was broad reach with the wind
forward the port beam, over the twelve
mile stretch from Netley to the Warner.
The Ailsa crossed the line at 10:45:10 and
the Britannia four seconds later, or about
up better in reaching in a light breeze;
She drew ahead and the yachts rounded
The he Warner IT eas thus:-Britannia l2;os:5o;
A slack ebb tide to the Warner helped
the yachts out. The wind veered to south
west, and just after rounding the War
ton bark, about seventeen miles away,
closehauled on the starboard tack. They
were timed thus at Clyde, about quar-
12:59:48
It was impossible to tell from the shore
The. Britannia was to windward of her
rival just after they rounded the Warner.
Off Cowes the Britannia appeared to be
ened and a heavy rainstorm set in OBJ
scuring the racers from the vision of
watchers on the shore. On her way
split her jib and gave up the contest.
The Britannia finished alone.
