A Fleet Half Rater.

The yachs racing season of 1896 W
successfully inaugurated on Long Islnni
sound recently when the newiy organized
Huguenot Yacht club hold a series of spe-
cial races for half raters. 81 footers and
cabin and open cats. AS might have been
expected, the chief interest oentered in the
performance of the little half raters. That
there will be some keen racing in this
class this season was fully proved when no
less than seven Of these lilliputian yachts
took part In the race. To the surprise of
many persons, the Imp, owned by John
NJ. Hamilton of the Red Dragon Canoe
club of Philadelphia, defeated the entire
feet, which included boats designed by
Herreshoff, Huntington, Stephens, Ridgby
and others.
The Imp, which was designed and built
by Thomas Clapham, IL simply an i'm
proved boat of the noted Bouncer type.
Her failure TO receive the fruits of her vio-
tory was due to peculiar ruling of tho
regatta committee, which disqualified the
Imp because she was sailed by profess

Joe Walcott, who Is in training for the
bout with Scaldy Bill Quinn which viii
take place at Woburn at the Mobnrn
skating rfnK under the auspices of the
Wo'urn Athletic Club. is in better shape
than he ever was before, and will give his
opponent a good argument. Quinn Is
perfectly satisfied TO tackle Walcott, de-
spite the latter's reputation and says he
thinks he can stand some OF the black
fellows hard hitting. The other bout OF
the evening in which Billy Ernst and
Paddy Fenton viii box 15 rounds prom
ises TO be very energetic as both men are
near the top of the ladder and want to re
recognized as am mopg the leaders of their
class. A good victory on Friday night
will give them such recognition. Fen
ton, IL will be membered, fought Stan
ton Abbott at the armory in Boston and
whipped him to a standstill, although not
fortunate enough to get a decision. Ernst
defeated Billy Vernon and by his last
bout with Eddy Connolly at Lynn when
he defeated Connolly and won for him
self GOLDEN laurels. Fenton has also
got decision over Conolly, and
the cioseress of the match can thus be
seen. Both OF the men will go into the
ring in fine fettle, and fit for the contest
of their life. Quinn, who is to meet Wal
colt, is in training mt New York and re-
ports say that he Is hard and strong.
Special trains for Woburn from Boston

WHAT THE FIRM OWES.

III WAS stlll declared yesterday TO -
impossible to tell what the amount of
indebted ness would be. 1t was believed
though, that ii would be nearer 1900, 600
tnan si00, 200. The staten~nt of the in
debtedness of the firm will not be filed,
IL is likely before next week, and per-
haps not until later. Mr.. Phelps, the
assignee, had q chat with Mr. Abbey yes
terday, but he declares that he Is still
unable to make any statement concerning
the firms affairs. When he will be sble
to he does not know, but certainly not
before the middle of the week.
The confidence with which the proba-
bility OF the firm reassuming the manage
ment OF the opera house Is regarded Is
exemplitied by the statement from Nine.
Lillian Nordica, wbfch WAS received from
Cincinnati. where Nine. Nordica has
been singing at the May Festival. When
che was asked whether she thought Alb
hey, Schoeffel Il GTau would continue in
the management, she replied: II GER

matter?"
eyes" replied Nine Nordica. al be-
lieve all will sign, for am sure we have
unbounded confidence in the ability and
the integrity of Messrs. A5Eey, Schoeffel
d Grau."
Mr.. Al Hayman, the well-known pro-
moter OF theatrical enterprises was closely
associated with Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau
in many of their ventures, and was on
most friendly terms with al least two
mem bcrs of the firm. He is reported to
hold appear of the firm or of its individual
members amounting to sI2,0 900, but he
declined to say anything on the subject
Yesterday.
One of the creditors of the firm said
that he thought it was safe to assume
that 80 per cent. of the Indebtedness of
Abbey, Schoeffel IL Grau Is held by per-
sonsl friends. Ii is just this fact That
made him wonder, he said, why the
assignment was made at this particular
time. In his opinion there was abso-
lutely no necessity for the firms max ing
the assignment now unless there was an
underlying motive which he aid not
understand. lie was forced to the con.
clusion that all was not right between
the mem bers OF the firm themselves.
The firm, he said, had a working capi-
tai TO begin with, and during the time
IL has been i'm business IL realized be-
tween $500, and s700, 600 clear profit.
MIR. Grau left some OF his profit, TO the
amount of s150,0O0 in the firm, while
Mr.. schoeffel left about $40, 600. These
amounts must naturally be placed to the
individual credit OF the two members,
but. queried my informant, who will
answer the question, 'Wbat has become
of the other capital and the large profits?n
In his opinion the disaster was due to
extravagance on the part of some one.
There will be a meeting of creditors
this week, the time and place OF which
has not yet been fixed.

FRIENDLY CREDITORS.
Abbey, Schoeffsl & Grau's Indebtedness
OF a Personal Character.
The Views OF IA Creditor and Nine.
Nordica the Prima Donna.

Whatever may be the result OF the
failure of Abbey, Schoeifel X Grau, their
misfortune has demonstrated one thing
to them and the persons who had conh-
dence in their ventures-that the number
OF their rie ads was legion and that their
assignme.4t was not because OF the pres
ure which was exerted unon them by
their creditors. AS the persp. citve
boadens and reasons for the failure re-
come more manifest, II 10 more evident
that the secession OF the business OF the
firm was voluntary and that II was the
chief desire OF the firm TO make II SO
whatsoever happened, even TO the ultimate
dissolution of the partnership all their
creditors could be fully protected.
Mr.. Abbey was invisible 10 all but his
most intimate friends vest erday. His little
daughter and his mother are now with
him at his rooms in the Gilsey House, so
thar he has az least part OF his family
near him during his cOnvalescenco.
The feeling among theatrical managers
who have followed the success OF the hrm
with more or less envy, when they spoke
yester lay OF the failure, was that the AS
sigment was perhaps The most adVan-
tageous thing which could have happen
ed to all the persons concerned. ls WIZ
ena BILE the firm to ascertain accurately
lust their position so that they may start
out next season with a clear field before
Them II rs tetTuvrtt ttfet during the last
two years Mr.. Abbey's failing health pre-
vented him from exercising the same
quality of judgement winch he had hereto
fore shown in the management Of the
financial affairs of the concern. lie was
led to make expenditures through senti-
mental influences rather than business
ones, and though his partners protest
ed he succeeded in persuading them that
after all he was in the right and they
were wrong.
The friends of the firm, including sew
eral of the most distinguished operate
artists, lent them money from time TO

Gently promptly repaid. While all or the
singers OF the grand opera company were
paid at the close OF the present season

Paced BY Locomotive-He viii
Try If A0nin.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August BE. E. An
derson attempted to-day to ride one mile
in one minute, paced by a locomotive, and
failed by three seconds.
The trial was on the track of the Bluff
Line Railway, nine miles north of East
st. Louis. The track was solidly planked
and the engine was an express speeder.
Several warming-up spurts were made
over part of the track to get the speed
regulated.
In one of these Anderson made half
mile in thirty-three seconds. For the
final trial a half-mile running start was
made. As the engine crossed the starting
line the cycler was seen twelve feet be-
hind the engine and seeming to urge the
pacemaker, which was going at fifty
eight-second speed.
At the half the speed was about mile a
minute, with Anderson working hard and
fifteen feet behind. At the three-quarters
the engine was turned loose and crossed
the line in one minute, with Anderson
trailing and three seconds short.
