NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Dunraven has
quit for good. The Valkyrie will BE-
stripped Of her racing rig and sent back
to Scotland at o ce. There will be no
more races between her and the De-
'euder. Lord Dunraven and his two

then return to England.
The Valkyrie arrived at Erie Basin
shor ly before 10 o'clock and her
sailors were put to work at once strip
ping her. BY noon her top mast and
much ofthe top hamper had been re-
moved. Mr.. Glennie said that Valky-
RE would start on her homeward yoy-
age as soon as she could be got in trim
for the passage. He said that Valkyrie
would not enter any race for special
cup on any conditions. Beyond this ne
would say nothing.
Ex-Commodore S. Nicholson Kane,
chairman of the regatta committee,
said that he regretted the manner in
which the race wound up. but that Lord
Dunrayen at the last nome MT made re-
quests which the committee could not
gr eat.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. Is. 1896.
The BALTIMORE Sun, speaking Of III,

THE BALTIMORE Sun, speaking Of the
so called Cleveland democrats" o
Maryland who propose to vote the re-
publican ticket in that State next No
vember, says: Individually, we ven,
ture to say they will be just as good
democrats after voting for Mr.. Lowa-
DIES as after voting for Mr.. Cleveland
In fact, they will vote for MIR. Lowndes
for very much the same reason that
they voted for Mr.. Cleyeland--to re-
buke and defeat the enemies of Mr..
Cleveland and of Cleveland democra-
cy." No doubt of it. But all such
democrats, for the sake of their OVID
reputation, should cease their profes-
sions of democracy. They certainly
know that General Mahone's reput.-
ton gained nothing by his professions
of democracy at the time he voted to
put the U. S. Senate under republican
control.

To-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Some Enensh opinions.

LONDON, Sept. l3.-The- feeling
throughout England over the failure Of
the match between the Valkyrie III
and the Defender, generally upholds
Lord Dunraven, though in some quar-
ters it is thought that he YVES possibly
hasty. Those holding this view hope
that he will be willing to arrange for
contests between his boat and the
Defender over some other couree than
the one off Sandy Hook and especially
that he will consent to re-sail last
Tuesdays race, which was given to the
Defender by the cup committee. An
expert says: "Crowding ofthe course is
not peculiar to America. His LOrdship
must not forget that he lost his boat
Yalkyrie II in the Clyde from just such
q cause"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Lord
Dunraven did not spend nearly sl0o,-
600 to give New York sightseers an
entertainment. His object was to try
the merits of the two rivals designs of
yachts. Let him agree to match off
Newport or Marblehead. Such q con-
test would do much to allsy the exist
ing bitterness"
/. The Westminster Gazette Gays it is
very unfortunate that an international
sporting event designed to promote
good feeling is likely 20 breed an appre-
cable amount of bad blood.
The st. james Gazette suggests that
the match be re-sailed in neutral
waters. off the coast of New Brunswick
or Nova Scotia.
The Globe says it is an inherent
right of the American citizen 10 make
of himself a nuisance ard he cannot be
easily interfered with butwhy did not
the committee accede to Lord Dunra-
vents request and select another curse.
AS long as the Sandy Hook course In
proposed no English yachtsman will
again try to win the cup.

THEproposed new constitution for the
State of South Carolina, offered in the
convention of that State yesterday, ex-
cludes negroes from Office. Such pro-
vision is not contrary to the federal
constitution or to any of its recent
amendments, and as its adoption would
save the State great deal of trouble
and its rejection be conducive to no
possible good, the convention might go
farther and fare worse by failing to ac-
