SEA AND SAIL.

RYDE, Isle of Wight, Aug. 1.-THE
annual race around the Isle of Wight,
under the auspices of the Royal Vic
toria Yacht club for the Commodore S
cup. for two classes. one exceeding
and one not exceeding seventy rating,
second prize, f40. TO go to a yacht of a
different class than the winner, was
sailed today The Ailsa, Britannia,
Hester, Carina, forty-raters, Isolde,
Caress, Corsair, Niagara, twenty
raters, started.
The larger yachts we're soon away
ahead of the smaller competitors. The
Niagara soon after starting grounded
on a sand bank, and remained aground
half an hour, after which she was
floated and returned to her anchorage.
Captain Barr said the Niagara was
not injured
Later the Corsair, owned by f. w.
l.. PerSham, ran ashore off Nentnor.
The ether yachts were becalmed. The
race eventually turned out q flasco,
owing to the adverse tides and the
fact ttat there was no wind The
Britannia put back for Ryde. The Cor
sair remained fast ashore in spite of
efforts te float her, and the coast
guardsmen were compelled to put out
to her assistance. The other yachts
anchored in disgust.
Later in the day Corsair was fioated.
Later the yachts weighed anchor and
III a light breeze reached st. Catharnes
in the following order: Isolde AiIsa
Hester, Carina, CorSair, Clress. A strong
tide was then running against them and
there was no prospect of the race being
finished before midnight.
BROOKLYN. Aug. 16.-The yacht
Vigilant was dry locked today in the
Erie basin. John Hyslop, the yacht
clubs measurer, had a long talk with
A. Willard, after which he began pre-
parations for the measuring. The light
ening of the boat was then begun
After the Vigilant had been relieved
of the extra weight which will not he
on board during the races of next
week, she looked much lighter. Her
white sides were q good bit further
away from the water and at least a
foot of the bronze bottom could be
seen. She seemed to be about a foot
and half less on the load water line
than when she lay at anchor at Ray
Ridge. and It would not be surpris-
ing if she got more time from De
fender than has been estimated.
Defender was delayed by fog and
instead of reaching the dock at high
tide. arrived too late to be locked at
the same time as Vigilant. She was
placed on the docks at the next high
water. The boats measures will not
be made public.

advised from New York that 100000

The treasury officials were agreeably

Withdrawals and this added to the re-
duction Of foreign eXchar-e and the
reported abundance of foreign bills

ELEPHANTS SEA FIG HI.
Two Huge Beasts Break Chains and
Do Fierce Battle.



On the EamburG-Amer rican steamer Per
sia, which arrived here Saturday, from
Hamburg, were seven elephants for Bar
mum & bailey's show.
Five of them are females and wo males.
The males are called Albert and Pilot.
The beasts were confined in a huge box
stall, Albert bCing confined at one side
OF it and Pilot at the other. The females
We're chained between them.
Pilot and Albert soon began to fiirt with
their companions and grew horribly jealous
OF each other. When the ship was three
days out a terrible tuuiult arose in the ele-
phant box and William Newman, who was
IN charge of the anknals, jumped from his
berth and ran to See what was the matter.
He found Albert and Pilut engaged in a
fierce battle, while the female elephants
urged them on with grunts and trumpet
ings of approval. The two belfigerent
males had broken loose from their fsstenings
and were battling for ''love and ladye fair"
Their tusks had been sawed Off and they
could not do much damage TO each other,
but they butted away like two big rams. re-
firing to their corners after each resound-
ing conclusion of their big forchends. and
then rushing together again. When they
were not butting they spared for wind with
their trunks.
Newman and his helpers soon quietcd the
beasts and chained them up again. They
kept the peace for the rest of the voyage,
but they are not friends. The elephants
were landed too late TO take the beat for
Bridgeport and were sent to c. II. Meyers s
stable in Cherry street FOR the night. They
are valued at S25 900. They are from
India anI are all green When they
reach bridgeport they will go into training
at once.
The youngest OF the lot is baby Ruth
She is two years old and a yard high. She
will be trained for clown elephant and
will appear In next summers circus.

MertZ'S Modern PharmaCy,
eleventh AND F STREETS N. w.
CAUGHT A MARINE MEDLEY.
Seems to Be a Combination of Fish,
Bird and Frog
Savannah Morniny News

Herman kiene, who runs a saloon at 174
Bryan street, has one OF tte most remarkab ble
curiosities In his possession ever seen in this
locality. II appears to be a comblnat ton
of bird, fish and frog, and looks as IL
it might be a relic OF the evolutionary Pc
riod, which failed TO complete its evolution.
The creature was presented to Mr.. Kiene
about n month ago by the fishermen OF the
sloOp Nary OGen, who informed him that
they caught il in their Let while fishing out
at SEA ;.U0ut mtg miles down the cUa ST.
1t was unlike anything they bad ever seen
before. 1t was evidently flying fish, but
1t had bigger wings tnan any uyIng nSh
they mad ever seen or heard of, and diff
fered from the ordinary flying fish in other
particulars.
The fishermen recognized tue fact that
they mad captured a rare specimen OF some
thing, they didn't know what, and made
every effort to preserve it alive. 1t was
kept in the water until they arrived in the
Savannah river, and was then brought up
10 the city In vessel filled with salt wa
ter. They could not keep the creaturealive.
however, but IL was sui breathing when
they brought It into Mr.. kie1e's saloon.
Knowing him to be something OF a cuTio
collector and a taxiderInist as well, they
presented him the rsh, or animal, which
ever II is. Mr.. Kiene stuffed ii, and now
has 1t on exhibition.
In appearance the body is about the shape
of a nullet but with no scales, having in
stead a tough skin. The head is remarkably
like that OF a frog being composed of a
fiat, bony plate, extending back about four
inches by two in width. The most remark
able feature of the thing is Its wings. which
branch out from its sides, just back of the
gills. The wings now have the the shape
of large cabbage leaf, but Mr. kiene said
that when fresh they had twice their pres
ent expansion, which would give them a
reach OF about twelve inches from the body.
Tue wings are of thin, rubber-like sub
stance, with ribs running through them.
They are dark. The tail is broad ana fan
like.
The two sets of fins on the back are con-
nected by a filmy substance, which gives
them the appearance of scales.
Underneath the gills sndeJust ahead of
where the wings branch out are two fins
about four inches in length each. They are
hard and tough, and Mr.. kiene says That
when fresh, they had q remarkable re-
senIblance TO the feet of the frog. Alto
gether, il is a most curious creature, and
apparently a combination OF fish, frog and
bird. II has been seen by numbers OF fish
ermcn none of whom can identify it. IL
has bigger wings than any fish ever seen in
these waters. An examination will show
that there lie no fake about il, as everything
Ia natuaral and in one piece.

MAHER WILL MEET FITZ
Fight to the Finish for $4,000 Is
the Card.
Battle VIII he Pulled Off Near El
Paso Between February IL and

New York, Dec. 5.-Peter Maher, the
Irish champion heavy weight, and Robert
FitzsimniOns, champion MIDDLE weight OF
the world, We're matched this morning 10
fight to finish near FL Paso, Texas. be-
tween February l and February l 5.
The details We're arranged at meeting
between Dan Stuart OF Texas, repre-
sentative OF Fitzsimmons, and John j.
Quinn. manager for Maher, held at the
st. James Hotel today.
Stuart was empowered to make the match
for Fitzsimmons, and as z uinn was anxious
for the contest the Arrangements were COM
Dleted without difficulty.
The purse TO be fought for will be 10000.
When Dan" Stuart arrived here few
DAYS ago to arrange match between Cor
bett and FitzsimnIons, he stated that lie
had a battle ground selected within five
miles OF Ell Paso. 1t is said to be on
Mexican soil.
Stuart is willing TO forfeit $1,000 to
each principal ir he cannot bring off the
light.
the battle will be fought under tent
capable oil sheltering 5000 people. Several
circus companies are now winterins In
Texas. and the parapbernalla or some OF
these viii be used.
The date originally selected was Febru-
ary IA. but as that date faiis on Sunday,
the date was ielt open, but the battIe VIII

STIMULATING that Corbett should 1irst be

would be NJ trouble about ii, as any COM
petent man would be acceptable.
