Sir Thomas Lipton's decision not to
challenge again for the Americas cup
before 1901 is better understood when
the cost Of this years racing with the
Shamrock Is known.
The aces this season have cost moro
on both sides than ever before. But the
challenger, having to cross the ocean
and race his yacht in foreign waters,
has borne the greater expense. The
Shamrock itself. in construction and
equipment, is said On pretty good au-
thority TO have cost nearly $400. 900. Sir
Thomas has admitted that he spent
on the boat more than six times al
much as Lord Dunraven did on the
last Valkyrie, and valkyrie III. cos,
100000. Figuring on the 100000 basis,
II Is easy to show that the English bar
onet has spent about q million dollars
on his seasons sport.

his flagship, the Erin. come from Eng,
land. II 10 q sumptuous steam yachN,
with . stan Of stewards, cooks and
servants to attend to his many guests.
Then there was the Plymouth, q steam
tender, on Which the Shamrock's crew,
the many carpenters, sailmakers, rig
gers and machinists slept and ate, a
tugboAt for towing purposes when the
Shamrock was becalmed, q small steam
launch and small steamboat which ran
between the Sandy Hook anchorage and
the Battery to transport Sir Thomas
guests. Besides maintaining this feet
the baronet entertained in royal fash
ion, more than q score OF guests hav-
ing been brought from England at his
own expense and many Of them being
provided by him with accommodations
at the most expensive New York hotels.
Sir Thomas also brought over his pri-
vate physician to attend to the party,
and . painter, Chevalier de MARITIME,
who was TO produce marine views in oil
Of the cup races. On o days the
baronet employed q band.
All this cost Sir Thomas about q, 500
. day in running expenses, and the rae
ing this year, owing to lack Of wind,
was prolonged over twice the usual
period. A million dollars, everything
taken into consideration, Is not
thought to be an excessive estimate of
Sir Thomas sport bill. And he lost the
races. Besides, the Shamrock Is utter
ly worthless for any other purpose than
trying for the Americas cup. An old
sea captain, looking at the ShPmrocl:
and the Columbia, said: what would
q poor man do with q boat like that?
He couldn't use her. He couldn't keep
her. To turn her around would cost
money. He couldn't even burn her,

THE Negro a Beast" is the title of
a new book issued by the American
Book and Bible House, St. Louis,

sent us a flaming circular and offered
a low rate for the book with the

and all that sort of stuff, is trotted
out, seasoned with a great deal of
soft, sweet talk about the admirable

is no doubt about that. We hope,
however, that no reader of this paper
will swallow this nOstrum, which IS
only another shrewd scheme by a lot
of ~sharpers to fleece the uniformed
and the ignorant. The book is evil
IDENTIFY made for Southern cOnsump-
ton, and we resent it as an insult to
the intelligence of the South. The
negro has a good deal more soul than
the author of this book, who is mod
estly described as the ''mOst pro-
found thinker the world has ever
produced" The whole circular looks
more like the work of a man with
the jim-jams than of ordinary COM
mon sense. OF course the thing
will fall as fat as a barn door wher-
ever it meets intelligence, but we

to how the colleges open. Why? At
best only a very small percentage of

is our pride, the public school our

public school our glory; the college

THE EDUCATIONAL OUTLOOK.

We are glad to note that the col
leges and universities are opening
well and with increased attendance
this year. This is a sign of a better
day and a strong manhood and wO-
manhood in the future. The man
who educates himself increases won
lerfuIly his chances for success in
life. Not that all who go to college
VIII be successful in life, or that
those who do not go will be failures.
But the probabilities, 1.-the chances"
are increased, very largely aud very
rapidly increased by a collegiate edu-
cation. With increased numbers

see in the papers and hear of in the

L TOO DEEP.

The State Treasury has recently
,-o7obt suit in the Superior Court
wake county against the county
wake for the.sum of S., 1876. 55, the
aount which it appears the com
~,issioners of Wake have reserved
som the States taxes collected by
tba sheriff, as the State Treasurer
oontends, without authority of law.
VI other county has claimed the
,rivilege of paying the same ac-
o,nn+s out of the States funds, and
= all the counties had claimed and
taken it as Wake has, for the last
seven years, the amount from the
whole State for the time would have
reached about $135, 900 by this time.
II IS claimed that this reserve has
bopn held from the States funds for
the purpose of paying some part OF
the expense of copying the tax list.
The matter, however, will soon be
ventilated in the courts and the con-
+ention of the State Treasurer sus-
tained or Overruled.
One point seems clear: If Wake is
entitled to it, all the other counties
are. If none of the other counties
are then Wake is not. 1t has not
vet been claimed by any other county.
