The Parson and the Lord.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The Rev.
DIR. @. F. Aked, of Liverpool, who
has arrived here for the purpose OF
delivering sermons and lectures at
various points Throughout the coun-
try, said In speaking of the finish
of the international yacht races:
"The great mass of thinking peo-
pie in England censure Lord Dun
raven severely for his conduct over
here as a sportsman. He was I'M
doubtedly beaten in the first race,
and would have been in the second
had il lasted short while longer.
The general feeling Is that he act
ed childishly, in a temper, throw
ing up the race because he was
piqued. AS true sportsman, he
should have accepted the decision
of the regatta committee"

STRANDED TN TEE FOG
A Hoboken Ferryboat on Castle
Point-Traffie Delayed.

The heavy fog which settled over the
coast this morning made navigation on
the Hudson River exceedingly difficult,
and many boats remained in their docks
rather than risk a collision with the
craft on the river. The Pennsylvania
Railroad found it impossible to run the
ferryboats on schedule time, and each
boat was more or less delayed The
pilots felt their way along very slowly,
and the fog horns and whistles We're
kept going at a lively rate. a new
danger. appeared in the ice which during
the night had come down the river The
warm spell caused the ice to break and
drift down the river, making accidents
likely.
FERRYBOAT STRANDED.
The Hoboxen ferry experienced more
difficulty than any of the other ferries,
and the pilots had hard time of it
trying to bring the craft safely into the
slips. The ferryboat Hoboken left its
slip at East Fourteenth street, New
York, at quarter to twelve o'clock last
night with $50 passengers, among them
many women The boat stranded on the
ledge of rocks about 100 feet from the
shore opposite Castle Point, Ninth street,
Hoboken.
The deck hands assured the passen-
gers, who were somewhat frightened,
that there was no danger, as the boat
had been drifting very slowly when it
struck the rocks. Word was telephoned
to the office of the Hoboken Ferry Com
pany at Newark street, Hoboken, for
relief.
SCRAMBLED ASHORE BY PLANKs.
The company detailed another boat to
assist the stranded Hoboken, but be-
fore it arrived a number of venturesome
passengers, having secured long planks,
scrambled ashore, the tide then being
very low. The boat f1oated off with the
rising tide at two O'Clock this morning.
The Consolidated Traction Company
lines were hampered somewhat, the
motormen being compelled to go slow.
On Grand street there were a number
OF blocks and a few delays. BY noon the
sun began to break through the mist and
the ferryboats and other river craft
found navigation less difficult.
