After finishing the first round the yachts

mark. off st. Honorat Then people began
slowly to change their opinion OF Ailsa's
ability to beat Britannia. The new cutter
appeared to be settling down more and

apparently creeping up on her rival.
Britannia had a lead Of 1 minute. II sec

but the new cutter had cut this lead down
to 80 seconds in the beat to the st. Honorat
mark on the second round. This was quite
point in favor OF Ailsa, as Britannia Is
known to be a fast boat at working up in
the wind.
The next leg was a smart reach about
two points free. Britannia had little the
best of this leg. but Ailsa was clinging to
the Prince of Wales cutter in gallant style
and squirting now and then, as If her skip
per was trying her speed under different
auspices. From the second mark boat it
was a broad reach. Ailsa was clearly pull

garding the recent communication of F.
w. Buckler of $40 7th street, desiring to
know whether it is lawful for social club

censed.

the Commissioners that N street, in front
Of the Japanese legation, is in filthy con-
dition. and that the unimproved alley in
square 17a, between New Hampshire ave-
nue.. T. 18th and U streets, Is also in a
filthy condition.
No Gas Lamps.
The Commissioners have informed Messrs.
Charles H. Ruoff of 905 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Gen. Albert Ordway of 702 18th
street, that the present conditions of the
available funds for street lighting will
not permit the establishment Of gas lamps

Is postmarked as having arrived in Wash

the Chattanooga firm was not considered.
The New Building.

Commissioners by Mr.. Thos. W. Smith,
owner of the building now occupied by the
District offices, looking to the retention of
the building by them. He offers to make
number of desirable improvements to the
building to render it more suitable for
their occupancy, but the Commissioners
were compelled to decline the proposition,
as they had committed themselves in the
matter of the lease of the Walker build
ing. Arrangements are practically COM

All three yachts had their flying jibs set,
and 1t was remarked that Ailsa looked very
well under her big spread of canvas. Her
judged that she would go very fast In O
reaching wind.
The scene at the start was beautiful al
most beyond description. The day was
perfect for everything in yachting except
SO far as the wind was concerned. But
when that began to strengthen, there was
a general raising Of SPIRITS, and everybody
began to hope for thorough test of speed
between Ailsa and Britannia.
To make the scene still more attractive
soon after the big yachts started fleet
OF nine French warships appeared in the
roadstead and added considerable to the
attractions of the day. contrasting superbly
with the lines of white-winged, graceful
racing craft scudding about Napoule bay.
In addition. there was the beautiful feet of
steam yachts. flying the flags of almost all
nations.
AS the yachts pulled away toward the
first mark, it began to look as If Ailsa
was pulling up on Britannia.
A Good Breeze.
By 1890 am. there was a darkening of
the blue waters and a nice sea breeze began
to blow. causing the racers to draw along at
a fair pace. Ailsa, soon after getting well
down to her work, began moving along at
a lively rate and succeeded in fore-reach-
ing from under the lee of Britannia.
The first leg Of the course was beat to
windward to a mark beat off St. Honorat,
and Ailsa did very well. On board the
Britannia was a large party Of yachts
men and ladies and the Prince of Wales.
Ailsa made a long board on her way to
the first mark, but it seemed as ii the
Britannia was going faster. Mr. Walkers
cutter had done we'll up to this point; but
not so well as her admirers hoped. How
ever, Britannia had the best of the breeze
and both the big cutters headed away from
Corsair. Then Ailsa, which had been carry
ing balloon staysafl, shifted that spread
of canvas, but as the breeze softened Bri-
tannia seemed to increase her lead.
1t was a long beat to the first mark six
boards being made before the buoy was
weathered. Britannia at this point had a
lead of l minute, 20 seconds on Ailsa, but
crossed the line 2 minutes, 40 seconds
ahead. Therefore Ailsa, which had been
believed to be dropping behind, had really
pulled up l minute, % seconds on Britain

mark, buoy No. 2, moored good distance
to the northward of Point de L'Esquillon
off a small point of land which forms the
enclosure Of Napoule bay. Both yachts set
their balloon ctaysails and Britannia spread
a big jib topsail. The Prince of Wales
cutter seemed to hold her place in the
plain sailing, and, to the delight of every
body, the prospects Of a freshening breeze
increased with the day and everybody be-
gan to look forward to a truer trial of
speed between the two big yachts.
At the second mark Britannia was lead
ing by ! minute, 81 seconds showing
slight increase in her lead at the first
mark. Both yachts came home at a good
rate on broad reach, prettily dashing the
light seas away as they churned along to-

obliged to confess that Mr.. Walkers cut

The match was for prizes amounting to

The course was triangular, three times

In maneuvering for the start in the
faintest of southeast airs Britannia got on
the weather beam of Ailsa, and the two
big yachts, while watching each other,
allowed Corsair to slip over the line ahead.
AS it was, however, they had barely steer
