NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Thousands of
people were on the lookout for the ar
rival of Valkyrie III. and the British
racer did not disappoint them. At
12:45 p. m. news over the wires came
that she had passed Moriches lifesav-
ing station. Soon afterwards there
was a scene Of commotion in the har-
bor Craft of all kinds were gotten
under way to meet and welcome the
foreign visitor. Among the first of
those to get in motion was the freight
steamer City of Bridgeport with Lord
Dunraven's representative in America,
II. Maitland Kersey, and large party
of friends aboard.
At 9:45 Valkyrie, in tow, slowly
passed Quarantine and was boarded by

looked trim and neat in the glimmer-
ing light. Hearty cheers of welcome
were exchanged with the English sail
ors, and then, the usual formalities
having been complied with, Valkyrie
cantinued her journey up the bay.

their parents, and together the four
perished. Hudson, who was sailing
the boat, got the two Hall girls on the
boat and was trying to save Miss Stew
ems, when they slipped off and were
drowned before he could get to them.

the boat were rescued by fisherman,
who put off from the shore as the boat

SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 10. - AL
though none of the leaders have ar
rived for the Democratic state conven-
tion on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
this week, yet the advance guard Of
workers and correspondents constitute
quite crowd. Since the selection Of
delegates in the different counties it is
evident that there will be close fight
between the free silvermen and their
opponents on the organization Of the
convention and the platform. The
free silver men control the state exec
utive committee and the Brice men
control the state central committee.
The free silver men claim that returns
from county conventions show they
have majority of the delegates, but
this is not conceded by the Brice men.
If the free silver men secure the or
ganization, it is believed they will
nominate Colonel James J. Kilbourne
of Columbus, Thurman candidate for
governor. y
