The America sailed for Havre and ar
rived there early in August, 1851. She
rapidly fitted up for the race and then
proceeded to Cowes. The visitor ar
rived on dark night, and it must have
been an interesting moment when the
dawn showed her to the great fleet Of
English boats Enll Of yachtsmen strain
ing their eyes to size up the stranger.
The Yankee craft was about as differ
eRt from an English yacht as could be
imagined, with her great beam ana
shallow hull, While the typical English
cutter of the period was OF the plank
on end" variety. She soon showed her
mettle by defeating one ofStiiA fastest
boats in a brush into Cowes, and this
her to arrange her races. At last,
however, she was allowed to sail under
the regulations Of the Royal Yacht
squadron in the race around the Isle Of
Wight for a cup offered by the ROYAL
Yacht squadron. In those days no all

A revival of interest in the. so-called
Standard Oil copper shares was the fea-
ture of the local stock market yester-
day.
The published communication of a
prominent outside operator undoubted-
" served to attract new buying orders
in those specialties, which, together
with skilful manipulation, resulted in
advancing prices several points or
more. Loaning rates indicated q larg-
er short interest, and it is not improba-
Bile that the shorts were anxious to COW
er, in view of the disability of an up
ward movement At all events prices
moved briSkly upward for those shares
while the general market was dull and
quite neglected, showing conelusively
that the rise was not the spontaneous
result of renewed public interest in the
market, but the creation Of the larger
inside interests, who. doubtless, had
reason for desiring to see their favor

Mt. Pleasant, Dec. Chris Lund of

the boxing contest between himself and
Professor Young Dutchey. The contest
will be pulled off next Saturday even

seat about LOCO people.
The two men are training asSidu-
ously, and are both in fine form There
is not great deal of betting being done
on them as yet. as the sporting men
find it hard combination to solve.
Dutchey is known here to be a clever
. man in the ring. but Lunds size and
reach, coupled with rumors of cOnsid-
cradle science as a fighter make the
betters d little leary of placing their
money against him. Several hundred
dollars are already up, though, having
been placed at even figures on the
men. and along towards the latter part
of the week brisk betting is anticipat-
ed. Tt is said Lupd's friends from

amount that they can get, but so fai.

WAS A BLOODY FIGHT.
Frank Erne and Jack o'Brien Battle
to a Draw

New York. Dec. frank Erne of
Buffalo and Jack O'Brien of New York
fought twenty-five rounds at 1873
pounds, at the Coney Island Sporting
club tonight, and at the end of it. the
referee, George Siler of Chicago. de-
clared the bout a draw. This decision
was fair and just. but il did not satisfy
a number of persons who had picked a
1avorite. O'Brien did a lot of forcing
the lighting, but Erne's work was of a
cleaner and more scientific character
The final round was furious, blows
coming thick and fact. They Rugged
each other and punched in the clinches
They wrestled and pulled and dragged
each other in their efforts for s,uprem-
acy, and a description of the blows
would be impossible. Both We're cover
ed with blood. but O'Briens face was
the worst looking, both ewes being
bunged up and his mouth badly puffed.
When the gong finished the bout
neither man heard it, and the house
was in an uproar. There were cries of
'ETne, Erne," and .O'Brien wins
from the partisans of these. while the
more level headed said a draw would
be a more just decision.
AS soon as the noise had abated
somewhat. the master of ceremonies
announced that the referee had de-
clared the bout a draw.

This Young man has many friends in

good soldier. He is % years of age. but
heshas seen much of the world, having
