anxiety In that direction, but after all

DECISION AGAINST soUsA.

Philadelphia, August s.--The suit OF
Mrs. Ada r. Blakeiy. administra trix of
David Blakely, deceased, against John
Philip Sousa. the famous composer and
bandmaster, mas been Terminated by de-
eision of common pleas court sustaining
the report Of the referees.

Sousa account to Mrs. Blakely for all
moneys received by him for tue sale of
musical compositions, surrender to her
the musical ibr ~ in his possession, &C.
count Tor the use OF 1t from May %,
ID J Tie efsree also decided that the
Blakely estate had the right, without re-
gard Tor the duration of time 20 one-half
of Ill royalties which would he ear ned
from Sousa's compositions provided that
such composition were made pIior to
Mr.. Blakely's death. AS to whether the
Blakely estate had an exclusive right to
thu use of Sousa's name the referee found
in SouFa's favor on the ground that 1t
would bs against public policy to permit
any band not conducted by Sousa to te
called Sonsa's band, as such name might
mislead the public. The case has been

A big crowd turned out for the second
day OF the meeting. Spear laid up Royal
Baron for two heats In the aga trot, the
Electric City stake and then came on
and outfooted Owyhee az the wire for two
heats. With the pools selling SIS on the
Baron to S. on the fisld, they came out
for the fifth heat. Spear took the Baron
far back and In the stretch although he
was surely catching the lender 100 yards
from the wire 1t looked like fight. At
that point, however, Baron left his feet
and galioped under the wire second. It
was great upset and Mo Hublinger
dropped q big lot of money. After three
good heats in the D. 30 trot the sun was
still at 7.i5 O'Clock gstreaming over the
track but the judges decided 60 postpone
the race until tomorrow. This did not
suit Lockwood with George Carney who
bad two heats and was beating his party
to pieces. He protested TO no avail and
then after the judges and spectators left
ha came out alone and did mile in 2.5S
and claimed the race on the ground thai
there was no occasion for postponemsnt
and that the rules sustained him.

A WINDMILL BOAT.
Vice Commodore Sheffield Launches "a
Paradoxical Craft at sOdus Bay.

A remarkable beat has been constructed
by Newark IN. W yachtsman. 1t
will make progress right in the face of
the wind, and the harder the gale blows
the faster the craft will go. Western New
York sailors are exceedingly interested In
| the paradoxical boat, and whenever 1t ID
put into the water for trial trip the
crowd lines the wharf at Sodus Bay,
where the little craft is housed.
The boat was built as the result of an
argument, which was followed by a bet.
Thomas Elliott, yaohtsman of Newark,
put mp $le0 to back his claim that John
She field, Vice Commodore of the Sodus
Bay Yacht Club could not construct a
boat which would be able 10 make pro-
gress in the teeth of the wind. The bet
was made early in the spring. Vice Com
modore Sheffield began to think all day
long. Last Sunday he announced that
he had constructed a boat according to
specili cations. and was ready to try 1t, In
order that his point might be proved and
his money won.
The Vice Commod ore put into the
water skiff-like boat, three feet long.
Directly under the bow was a deep keel
From the stern rose a long vane, like
those seen on country barns. TO show the
direction OF the wind. Right above the
bow there was shaft with a windmill
10 inches in diameter on tho end. The
shaft inclined eft and ran through what
would have been the sternpost until 1t
struck below the water line. A 8 Inch
propeller was attached to this end of it.
1t was such an absurd looking craft that
every body laughed when its builder put
the unwieldy thing into the water.
A strong west wind was blowing. The
queer boat wayeFed for second as Il
struck the water, then slowly but steadily
c,ms TO the wind. The windmill oaught
the force of the gale and began to Tevolve.
Little by little the hoat forged ahead
The harder the wind blew the moro rapid
ly it gathered Roadway. The forward
keel AMI tho after weather vane kept IL
deaf in the wind. The absurd little yes.
sci stood out from the dock until the
owner had to get la a rowboas to capture
it. Every body cheered and the wager
WAS declared won. Ii Is quite probable
that Vice Commodore Sheffield wiIl build
a beat on the same palnciple big enough
to carry him and friend or two. The
little model has created no end of talk

with pride the masnifIoent run Of the
new queen Of the fleet, Columbia, which
fairly distsnced avery other yacht with
the exception Of Defender, and she, too,
was dsfeated by four minutes and one
sscoud In a 80 mile race.
The old cor defender vIeiiant, was
beaten by the two flyers nearly an hour
but snuoh OF this was no doubt due to
the fortunate run OF Colum bia and De-
fender along the III shor's Island shore,
while the rest Of the fleet kept over on
the ether side Of the sound. Amarisa
also held In under Fishers Island and
beat out all the schooners with ease, win
mig In her class by numter of minutes
Over 81 yachts crossed the line at New
Tendon and nearly all finished In Gardi-
nsr's Bay, although some of them did not
get In until towards night. The run gave
the yachts q good broad reach to Race
Rock OF i-2 miles, fine run before the
wind to Watch Hill OF Ia miles, and a
grand beat Of IS Ia miles In a constant
ly increasing breeze to the finish. an ideal
course. all around.
There were many interesting and excit
ina moments from the time that the
great bunch of sloops followed by the
schooners, swept over the stai ting line
until the last OF the racers finished, but
by far tho greatest event was ths mag
niticent seven miles run of Columbia
from Fishers Island TO Great Gull ISL
snd during which she averaged close up
TO 1S.knot gait 1t was on this run,
made very close TO the wind that Column
bia pulled out so tar on Defender, for
where the boats were but q short eighth
of q mile apart under Fishers island
there WINS nearly a milo and n half of
water tesween them at Great Gull island.
Both yachts had all the wind they could
stagger under and the Columbia hauled
down her big.topsail during a ten-riin-
utes interval, when 1t blew the hardest.
she set 1t again. however, when Defender
began TO pick up, and held her advantage
60 the line. Neither boat was held back
a particle. II was q good square test OF
the merits of the old new boats, and the
latter may be put down as good four

tions, ard with her steel mast ina couple
