Water Front Cases.

Washington. March i7-There are reasons
for believing the supreme court will soon
render its opinion in the Oakland. Cal,

contest. though the city of Oakland has al
so been permitted 10 appear in 1t for the
protection of Its interests The case in

worth several million dollars. and its ad-
ludicatton Will involve several nice points
IN law, among which will be the right OF a
public uses, and for a city to sell property
acquired from a state on trust, and also
possibly some contraction or the terms of
the original grant OF the land embraced in
by Mexico.
When the town of Oakland was incor-
porated the entire water front was granted
TO the town. and /, was afterward sold or

one else. The effort ON the part OF the
state and the city is TO have this title de-
clared void. The railroad company main

event, the race for the prize offered by the
Prince of Monaco, was Won by the Prince
of Wales Britannia. which gave the Ailsa
her first defeat The Brirannias victory,
thusiasm among impartial yachtsmen, for
the reason that it was gained in a poor
trial of the qualities of the respective boats
and was partly due TO the Ailsa holding
her opponent TOO cheaply. The race was
for the st: PriN de Prince Albert l., open
to all yachts above twenty tons.
The weather was beautiful, but the wind
was light and tluky, ana this, of course
made an exciting race an !mpossibility
Considerable doubt was expressed as to
whether the Britannia would start in a race
on Sunday, owing mainly TO the presence
OF Queen Victoria at Cimez. but this dif-
hculty was overcome by the Prince of
Wales not going on board his yacht lie
