BOSTON AND ALBANY LEASE
LIYELY MEETING OF THE STOCK.
 HOLDERS YESTERDAY.
Question Resolves Into the Election of DirectOrs-A Postponcment on the Latter Matter Asked and Q Vote Taken the Result of Which Is in Doubt Difficulty Met With in Counting.

Boston, Sept 27-Shall Boston and
 Albany directors be chosen at this time
 or on November 15? This is the ques-
 ton which is still undecided by the
 stockholders of that road, after an all-
 day session which was so lively that
 it stands out in contrast with most
 railroad meetings. The stockholders
 have cast their ballots on this question,
 but tonight the canvass was not com-
 pleted and President Bliss gave little
 promise of announcing a result before
 daylight. The great issue at stake in
 to-day's meeting pertained to the ac-
 ceptance by the Boston and Albany
 stockholders of lease by the road as
 proposed by the New York Central and Hudson River railroad. Strong opposi-
 tion to such lease on the terms offered early developed, which opposition was on the claim that the dividends guar anteed are not sufficient, based on the past earnings on stock of the road. The attendance was so large when the meet ing began in the South Terminal that adjournment was taken to Bumstead hall.
 By mutual consent of the leaders of the factions for and against the lease the fight on that question stands post poned till November 15. The fight be- gan over the directorate. The protect i've committee presented ticket which, if elected, would give the protective committee control of the road, thereby showing disapproval of the lease on the terms as offered by the New York Gen. tral and recommended by the present directorate. Samuel Hoar proposed de- lay in electing directors and after long debate stock vote was ordered on MT. Hoars motion to choose direc- tors on November 15.
 An interesting and significant letter was read from President Galloway of the New York Central, in which he stat ed that his company was not disposed to increase the rental rate and that if < the terms were not satisfactory to the of the Boston and Albany road further negotiations were useless This was met by declaration that did not require outside aid in running it's, railroads, and that connections could be made with other that would meet any att tempt on the part of the New York Central to divert business from the Bos- ton and Albany.
 All the speakers for the protective committee took the position that the was worth more than had been offered for it. MT. Hoar declared that only one of the men named owned any of the company's stock until opposition to the lease was started. He stated that he believed the property could be better trusted in the hands of the men who have made it what it is than to those who are without practical rail- road knowledge. The protective com mittee believes that the motion to post pone the election of the directors will be defeated, as they claim to control L4S,OOO shares. The ballot will show definitely,

Yachtsmen Disappointed.

Dr. J. c. Barron of the New York Yacht club and one of the best of our racing yachtsmen, said: q am rather disappointed in the Shamrock's under body. I don't see that she is any radi- cal departure from the modern fin-keel boat. Her lines are harder, much hard CT, than I expected. They certainly have got the lead down at the lowest possible joint.''
 George Drakely, New York and At- lantic Yacht clubs member, said: T must say that I am very much disap- pointed with her. She is nothing near as graceful boat as the Columbia. Her lines are hard and the two upper steel plates tapping over the bronze offer a lot of resistance that will not do her q bit of good when she lies over in sail- ing"
