THE first Of the international races
OF 1885, between the British yacbt Val
kyrie and Defender, has resulted in a
signal victory for the American boat.
The triumph Of the Defender is rnaeni-
ned by the fact that it was commonly
understood that the wind and water of
Saturday were precisely such as desired
Dy the challenger, because they we're
better suited to the display of her going
qualities than high wind and rough
seas. The Defender came in 8 minutes
AZ seconds ahead. IL was witnessed
by $4,000 spectators in all kinds of
crafts. For forty-iive years the Americas
Cup has been held by our yachtsmen
against all comers. Upon eight differ
ent occasions. viz, in 1870, 1871, 1876.

SAYS the Philadelphia Press:. 'The
Turkish Government in its answer to
the Powers, practically refuses any
reforms in the various provinces known
as Armenia or Kurdistan. As four
hfths Of the population in this region
are Kurdish or Moslem, and the Armen-
ians are in helpless minority in all
but few small districts, no protection
can be secured for them BY anv ar
rangement which apportions the Of
heials in proportion to the population.
The Moslem majority in this region has
as little regard for all the rights of
Armenians as the white majority in
several sOuthefu ..- has for the no
litieal rights oi ,ne negro population.
If Russia and France are, as Lord Sails
bury said, acting in harmony with
England, the Turkish Government will
be forced to recede in short order; but
the long resistance of Turkey looks as

A Year of Full Crops.

A corn crop of great magnitude is
now reasonably certain, and in wealth
producing quality nothing EQUALS a
corn crop. For week longer frost
may iDjure part of the crop, but the
great bulk of it is already certain.
Mess.pork has dropped to SIC. .25. about
two'thirds the average price, and one
only maintained two or three times in
the last ten years. Corn fell 8 cents a
6ushel and is now only little over
nall Its price year ago. Wheat also
tell cents bushel under cumulative
proof that the crop has been underesti-
mated at home and abroad. Revised
estimates add 10000, 900 bushels to the
crop In this country and 100000
bushels in France, while in Manitoba
Poland, ROumania and Russia there
are reports of larger crops than were
expected. A wheat crop equal to ali

FROM Senator Gray's close relation
to President Cleveland, his declaration
that he regards him the logical nominee
of the Democratic party for President
next year, is considered an important
political announcement. A great deal
has been said by newspapers writers,
more it was thought, for sensational
than substantial matter, but coming from
Senator Gray with the emphasis that
this does, gives it the semi-authority
and endorsement of Mr.. Cleveland
himself. 1t is to say the least surpris.
ing, as an anomaly in American poll
tics. The third term" idea is out of
harmony with our traditions, and un.
American in sentiment. 1t has never
been tried but once before we believe
in the hundred and more years of our
histOry-by Gen. Grant, or rather his
political friends-and then ignOmin-
iOusly failed, as it ought to.
Though the Republican party was
strongly in the ascendent, Gen. Grant
could not have received enough Re-
publican votes to have elected him, and
if the Great Captain of the war could
not have succeeded with host of
subalterns and scheming politicians at
his back, it would seem the veriest
temerity for any one to take up a pro-
iect where he so ingloriOusly failed and
left stain on his civil record that pos
terty would like to forget.
Mr.. Cleveland may yet disavow his
spokesman. The Democratic press in
the case above alluded to did not hest.
tate to express themselves in decided
terms in reference to Grants ambitions,
and to turn about and endorse it now,
can hardly be expected of the better
class of these journals. The third |
erm" idea has not taken root vet we
hink in the minds of the American
people, and discontinue must await |
any ambition in that direction.

GAMES PLAYED HERE AND E1spwHppv

GAMES PLAYED HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
As the season draws to a close it
seems that Smyrna plays fewer games.
until now the enthusiasts are hungry
ior game. Only one game PLAYED
on the home grounds this week. and
that with lightweight club which
was an easy walkOVer. 1t seems nm.
fortunate that the management can't
arrange contests with Delaware's
strongest clubs on the home grounds
smyrna IS we'll able to cope with all
and, In fact, is not second to any in the
state. Her record during the past
season has been brilliant. True she
started off somewhat handicaDned bnt
within the last month her playing has
been OF the gilt edged order.
On Thursday last Manager Arm
strong took his team to Wilmington to
try the sO-called new Wilmington
CLUB. but it proved more of a pick
from Rockford, New Castle and Frank
lin, with a few of the Chester plavers
than 1t did anything else. That thew
were old and experienced PLAYERS was
recognized fact. They were all
heavy batters and apparently out
batted smyrna, bnt the visiting team
got 1t off of them by superior fielding
which in the first five innings was verv
harmonious, but in the sixth inning
Hess was hit freely and three runs
were scored. Wilmington made one
run each in the 7th and 9Th inning.
Notwithstanding this fact Hess pitched
magnificent game and but for a few
proVokable errors on the part of
Smyrna, Wilmington would have been
shut out. Mcguire put up a fine game
for Smyrna. Following is the score

NEW YORK is yacht crazy at this time
and yet the Herald pauses TO make an
estimate of expenses and the advan-
tage to the city of having the races
there rather than elsewhere. "Tbe
Americas cup" says the Herald. 'is
worth intrinsically about $3.50, but such
is the sentiment with which it is filed
that it costs directly not less than $780,
600 to keep it in this country, and in.
direstly much more than that. The
very frst contract for the Defender was
not less than $4,000 Subsequently
the sails alone cost $4,000, it being
necessary to employ three first-class
expert sailmakers. A crew of forty
men was engaged away back 10 MAY,
and the salaries Of these men would
average about $45 a month.

THREE South American States, Mica
ragua, Salvador and Honduras, have
formed a triple alliance, or compact,
under the title of "The Greater Repub-
lie of Central America" The door is
left open for the admission of Costa
Rica and Guatemala, and, in the event
OF their admission, the alliance will be
called ''The Republic of Central

Congress or Diet to manage the joint

The following from the Sentinel. the
Addicks' organ, while showing editorial
adroitness in parrying the thrusts of a
willy adversary, also gives evidence of
the "inwardness" of politics on party
lines:
''Every EUening offers US some advice
and attempts to show its knowledge Of
biblical subjects in a discourse about
the beast that brays. We don't want
advice. We are in our own stable and
feeding at our own manger, and have
a right to bray at the fellow in the next
stall if we wish to. It is zone of EUerv
EUening's business. He can't stop the
family quarrel among Republicans, and
wouldn't il he could, and we know il.
We may, however, if he goes to med
ding, stop braying and go to kicking.

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy for bowel complaint
These medicines have been in constant

they are articles of great worth and
merit, and unequaled by any other.
They are for sale here by Clifton &

The most welcome event of the past
week, far surprising that of the yacht
race, were the showers that came Fri
day and Saturday. They put new face
on everything. Man and beast looked
more smiling, insects chirped with more
zest, and bees even worked with more
diligence. 1t came too late to help the
corn crop, but pasture fields and late
vegetables must be materially helped.
The whole aspect of nature has been
changed.

BASKET MAKING, like some other
trades, has not been so profitable this
year, selling largely at 81 cents each.
This is the lowest of the many vari-

think was paid for the simple making,
and they retailed before the season was
