by the sturdy farmers of Worcester
and Worcester county gathered IN
front of where The Spy building now
stands, when they listened to the read
ing Of the declaration of independence,
the tocsin call for the forming OF a new
nation, by Isaiah Thomas, from the
steps of the Old South Church IN the
far and faded years. The audience Oh
last night, like that historic gathering
of revolutionary days, represented the
solid worth Of Worcester citizenship. II
was not a gathering of the rifr-raH
ready and even eager to be infiamed Dy
the words of the mob orator; IL was
typical of the best manhood OF the CITY.
From the hurnblest workingman to the
manufacturer, every man was there
because of convictions of duty.
Good judges of crowd said there were
5000 people in the hall. 1t was not al
together a Worcester audience There
were many from Fitchburg, Leomin-
ster, Clinton, Westboro ana otner
towns. Much enthusiasm was created
by the arrival of crowd from West
Boylston in e. A. Cowee's barge while
the speaking was in progress.
1t was an ideal night for such a meet
ing. The weather, after protracted
rain, was spring-like as an April day.
Although the distinguished speakers
Of the evening did not come upon the
platform until the tower clocks of the
city were sounding the hour of 5, the
audience began to gather before Z
o'clock. Hundreds attended the recep-
ton in Washburn hall and shook the
hands of Gov. Wolcott, Senator Hoar

It's the hackneyed thing in describ-
ing such events as the magnificent
meeting in Mechanics hall last night,
for the ratification of the republican
state ticket, to say that it was the
largest and most enthusiastic gather
ing ever held in the city. Yet in many
ways that would be the literal truth,
even though other occasions may have
called out greater crowds.
Not in living memory has enthusiasm
for party candidates and party prin-
ciples run riot in Worcester as it did
at Mechanics hall last night. If it ever
did, the oldest inhabitant has no recol-
lection Of it, and history has not chron-
icled it,
The great audience that packed the
hall. not only on the floor, the gallery
and platform, but ranged itself like a
living wall about the sides, was as
much imbued with the spirit of enthu-
siasm as soldiers eager for the fray.
There could scarcely have been a
greater manifestation of enthusiasm

bring back the cup, I'll guarantee you
at least two races week, and more if
you want them"
Shortly after l o'clock, after consult-
ing with Sir Thomas and Mr.. Iselin, it
was decided to abide by the decision of
yesterday not to race tomorrow. The
next attempt, therefore, will be made
on Thursday and every day thereafter
until the series is finished. Halt an hour
after the excursion fleet started for
home the sun peered through the gloom
for few minutes, but was shortly
afterwards obscured. Later in the day
it cleared up and though the weather
bureaus prediction of fresh breeze
was not realized, there was enough air
stirring for the Columbia to hoist her
sails and make 15-minute spin to try
her new club topsail and see how her
newly cut mainsail fitted. Both were
pronounced perfect by the experts, and
she went back to her anchorage. where
all was made snug for the night.

lie backed Uncle Sans weather Grace

bers as last week. Many of the sight
seers who witnessed the three finkes, at
an average cost per huke OF from 30 70
$25, had lost their courage, ana II Will
take race to restore their confidence.
Meantime the racers lay tied to their
big buoyS inside the Horseshoe. Inc
fog had lei down its curtains all around
them. The circle of their visl,n was
barely zoe yards in diameter. The sun
bored away in the gloom, but 1t could
not penetrate. Once or twice only It's
dim outlines could just be discerned
through the haze. There was nc wind
to lift the cloud Of mist that rested on %
the water. If anything, the fog seemed
to grow denser. The fog was so thick
that it could hardly have been pierced
by a bullet.
It was manifestly impossible for the
yachts to put to sea in such weather.
Sir Thomas Upton and Mr.. Isehn HAD
agreed at q o'clock not to sail unless the
fog lifted and there was suitable
breeze. So the big sloopS dawdlec idly
at their mornings. Their crews loateu
with nothing to do but wait. The pros
pect of a race was never at any time
good enough to even Justify them in re-
moving The covers HUH lIlclI llcilfpetiio.
About them lay the little fiotilla Of pot
tleholders who attend upon these glad
iators of the deep.
The Erin, with Sir Thomas and his
guests aboard, and the flagship of tho
New York Yacht club, the Corsair, with
Commodore Morgan and his guests,
were within hailing distance Of the
yachts.
Through the mist came the rluffied
clang of the great fog bell at the Hook
tolling its warning to mariners, while
from the distance fioated in the deep
vail Of the fog horns of the excursion
steamers as they felt their way out to-
ward the starting line.
Shortly before IL o'clock the commits
tee boat, which had gone outside to
take a last look around, returned and
reported no indi cations Of change in
the weather, so the formal announce
ment was made hat there would be no
race today. Soon afterw ard the ships Of
