VlGILANT WAS WRONG.
Her Protest Against the Defend
 CT Not Allowed.
YAoHTsMEN ARE DISAPPOINTED.

The New York Yacht Club Committee De-
 cides Against NIT. Willard and Sends Him
 a Very Sarcastic Letter-A Division of
 Opinion.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. s.-The Vigilant has sailed for Bristol, and all conferences on the strained relations between her and the Defender have resulted in nothing definite. The meeting of the regatta com mittee was likewise fruitless-at any rate, apparently so, for Chairman Kane told a reporter that if the facts were not posted on the bulletin of the yacht club station there would be no news in the matter, and at a late hour no wor<4 had been bulletined.
 Yachtsmen are discouraged at the sit uation. All day long some decision from the regatta committee was impatiently anticipated. The committee had several consultations on board the flagship Syl- via, but their proceedings were kept sys- tematically secret, much to the aggrava- tion of outsiders.
 Secretary A. Cass Garfield and J. Fred Tams of the America's cup committee went on board the Vigilant and had a long talk with MT. Willard. They return ed to the Sylvia and reported the result of their interview to the regatta commit tee, but the nature of it could not be as- certained. Messrs. Garfield and Tams had no sooner left tho Vigilant than the sloop, which had had her mainsail hoisted for over an hour, weighed anchor and sailed away for Bristol.
 VigiIant's Protest Not Sustained. At a late hour the disappointed yachts men were suddenly surprised by report that the regatta committee had refused to sustain the Vigilant's protest in the re- cent races. An investigation proved this to be a fact, and the following letters were given out for publication by the committed:
 "E. A. Willard, Esq.,:
 "DEAR SIR-Referring to your protest | of July 22, asking that Defender be dis qualified for alleged violation of section ?, rule 16, of the racing rules, and refer ring to your subsequent request at the Vineyard for a poStponement of a decision until the squadron returned to Newport, we now beg to say that after mature con- sideration the committee has reached the conclusion that they cannot sustain the protest. Yours respectfully, "S. NICHOLAS KANE, CHESTER GRISwOLD, IRVING GRINNELL, Regatta Committee"
 The second letter reads:
 "E. A. Willard, Esq:
 DEAR SIR-We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, wherein you notify us of Vigilant's with drawal from the Thursday and Saturday races of this week. and that you cannot continue racing unless the contests are to
 be conducted according to the rules oi yachting. Our committee regret your de l cision to retire from the races. We also regret your published statement that rae ing rules are not being properly enforced and for this statement we consider there l is no warrant. Yours respectfully, IS. NICHOLAS KANE, CHESTER GRIsWOLD, IRVING GRINNELL, Regatta Committee"

 Sneakers at the Convention.

Politics and Prohibition Sadly Mixed by the
 Speakers at the Convention.
 NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Sometimes poll tics get into strange places. They got into the mass meeting of the Catholic Total Abstinence union, now celebrating its sill yer jubilee in this city. There was live ly sparring match between Police Com missioner Roosevelt and State Senator O'Sullivan. Somebody blundered in in viting these two politicians to discuss the liquor question, which is politics, under the auspices of union which in its con- stitution expressly prohibits the discus sion of politics.
 But the immense crowd which filled Carnegie Music hall enjoyed it. That is, they who were not delegates did. The delegates looked solemn and wondered what might come of it all.
 The audience was of high class and appreciative. On the platform were the highest dignitaries of the Catholic church. In the hall were at least 300 priests and the most distinguished total abstainers in their respective parishes. Archbishop Cor rigan paid the union the compliment of presiding in person.
 It was thoroughly and distinctively American audience-in look and dress, in action and in sentiment. The American flag was the only one unfurled. The con- vention colors were the red, white and blue. and the proceedings began with she singing of the hymn My Country, 'Tis of Thee" Several interesting addresses were made

MRS. PIT. BARNUM WEDS
Widow of the Great Snowman
 Marries a Greek.
QUIET SERVICES IN NEW YORK.
the Ceremonies Were Performed In the
 Greek Church--she Has Sold Her Con-
 necticut Home and win Go to Greece to Live as the Wife of Demetri CalIias Hey.

necttcut Home ana Will GO to Greece Co
 Live as the Wife of Demetri CalIias Bey.
 NEW YORK, Aug s.-Mrs. P. T. Bar mum was married in this city to Demetri Callias Bey at the Greek church Agia Trias, $40 West Fifty third street. A civil service was first performed.
 Property deeds on both sides were exc cuted. Mrs. Barnum was represented by ex-Governor Ingersoll of New Haven.
 The religious ceremony was conducted by the Greek priest Archimandritc Paisios Ferentinos of the Fifty-third Street church.
 The bride was attired in Worth gown of dark blue silk. The bridesmaids were Miss Carrie Leigh and Miss May Read, both of Bridgeport, Conn. Benjamin Fish, one of the executors of the Barnum estate and a cousin of Mrs. Barnum, was also present.
 The bridegroom was accompanied by his best man, Demetricius Bey. Also pres cnt were the Spanish consul, the Greek consul and the Turkish consul. Immedi- ately after the ceremony there was 0 breakfast at Delmonico's. Mir and Mrs. Demetri Callias Boy are to pass a couple of days at Bridgeport before sailing for Paris. This is necessary because of the brides determination to part with Mari na, the estate just outside of Bridgeport
 There has always been great curiosity as to the age of the bride. In the certih- cate she is named as Nancy Barnum, aged 45, and the bridegroom is set down at 47. Fell In Love Over a Mummy. The history of the courtship is interest ing from the fact that the young widow of the late P. T. Barnum met her new husband in Cairo year and a half ago upon her first trip to the east after the death of her first husband. She was in- troduced to Dcmetri Callias Bey by the American consul at the time the latter presented Mrs. Barnum with a mummy
 for the Historical society of this city. It was love at first sight Calais Bey halls from Constantinople, but his fortune is in large olive plantations on the island
 of Metetia, in the Grecian archipelago He is worth something over $2, 900, GOO. Therefore it cannot be said that the hand some Greek wooed Mrs Barnum for her
 money. It was rather for herself. During Mrs. Barnum's last trip abroad Mir. Callias visited Marina. He was pleased with the place and would have
 been contented to reside there but for the fact that a bronze statue of heroic size of | the late P. T. Barnum is placed in the 1 park directly in front of the house. The
 statue cannot be removed, as it belongs to
 the city of Bridgeport, and therefore Mrs. Barnum decided to sell the place and go 1 abroad.
 After n stop in Paris, MT. and Mrs. Cal | lias will make their home in Greece. Under Mir. Barnum's will his widow inherited besides Marina, which cost | $500, 900, an annuity of $40,000 and Sl OOO OOO
