err YACHTS TRYING SAILS.



Many experts who watched the trial be-
tween the Reliance and the Shamrock III.
On Thursday have figured out that the
Reliance is a sure winner Of the Cup, but
Sir Thomas Upton and his friends on the
Erin are not at all discouraged, and instead
of being cast down are rather pleased with
the showing that the Shamrock made
against the defender. They argue that in
the light air that prevailed at the first part
of the race, and while they were both on
the port tack, the Shamrock kept the slight
lead she had at the start, and that the Re-
lance did not gain on her at all until she got
a favoring shift during the squat. Capt.
Wringe says that he wanted to tack the
Shamrock much earlier than he did, but
that he was not quite far enough ahead to
be sure of crossing the Reance's bow, and
that he did not want to bear off and go
astern OF the American boat. This shows
that the two were very close together.
On both the Shamrock and the Reliance
all are satisfied that the attempt showed
nothing Of the merits Of the two boats.
and the shippers and crews are content to
wait until there is a wind that will hold
true and send them over the course in fair
time, when the winner will have some
thing to boast of.
The two yachts went out sailing yester-
day morning Sails were set on both vessels
early in order to let them dry thoroughly
in the breeze which was blowing from the
northwest. Mr.. Iselin boarded the Re-
lance soon after 10 o'clock and he and
Capt Barr had a conference, and then at
1890 the yacht slipped her moorings and
sailed out toward the entrance to the Ged-
ney Channel. She carried No 2 club top
sail set over lower sails.
The yacht soon headed back toward the
Horseshoe She tried some jibs and fore
staysais and then went back to her moor
ings Mr. Iselin then went to his home
at New Rochelle. During the afternoon
the sailors were at work on the sails. The
mainsail was hauled out more on the head
and it was said that the lead of some OF
the sheets was changed.
Capt. Barr was seen on the yacht during
the afternoon, but he declined TO say any
thing about the failure on Thursday or
about the changes in the boat.
The Shamrock started out about an
hour later than the Reliance. Sho sailed
about near the Hook and tried some
club topsais and other headsaiIs. The
spins of both yachts were more to dry the
sails and stretch them into shape than any
thing else.
Two new mascOts have been received
on the Shamrock They are gamecocks
that are said To have fine records. Ono
has been named Garryowel and the other

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

Last year admirable arrange

and entertaining the local farmers
around st. Martinville at SINH
lar gathering, but the small num-
Der of planters attending same, ra-
Their discouraged the parties inter-
ested in promoting this very ne
cessary and desirable organization.
We are not supposed to be pro-
gressive unless we believe that the
"old world changes for the better,
and in no field of industry has this
been better examplified than in
the great changes brought about
in recent years IN improved farm
ing operations, especially through
out the South.
1t would have been impossible
to have redeemed the vast prairies
of South West Louisiana from a
condition of utter sterility, unless
the brain of the modern inventor
had come to the rescue with his
"all magic" binder and harvester
improved plows, and hundred 9th
or methods that have so far sup
planted the old time methods OF
cultivation as to suggest to the in
telligent farmer that absolute me-
cessity of availing himself of every
means to still further improve and
solidify his business. 3E

the battle cry of politicians on
certain occasion, but this has been
long ago exploded as a wise Dsxun,
in and among intelligent sgricul.

The agricultural department Of
the State of Louisiana is rapidly
becoming one of the most impor
tant aud necessary of our State
Institution. For some years nov
one of the principal features of thu
Department has been to advertise
and hold Farmers Institute in thu
principal towns and country dis
tricts of the State. These Insti
tutes have become immensely pc
pular with all classes of peopl
interested in the agricultural de
velopment of the land. Eminen
scientists and men who have de
voted their lives towards the bel
torment of the farming interest
of their country address thes
meetings with special reference t
local conditions. Fairs are bel
in connection with the reguls
program and prizes are offered b
the State for the best exhibit {
all kinds of stock, farm and ga
den produce.
We are of the opinion that on
farmers should make very sp'
cial effort to attend on the adve
tised date, aud they can rest we

We are sorry to hear that the
Protestant community of our town
we're unable to arrive at proper
understanding with Bishop Ses-
sums for the use or purchase Of the
Episcopal Church. There are on
ly few Episcopaliaps living here.
not enough by far to support II
church, SO it is a pity that the
Professionals could not combine
their respective forces and main-
tain a Union Church. However
the fiat has gone forth, and the
Episcopal Church is only to be
used for the worship of Episcopa-
lianism. However the members
of the other religious denomina-
tions have expressed very ear
nest desire for church of their
own, where they will be unham-
pered by the rules and regulations
of any particular set or denomina-
ton. To this end they have assum-
ed the fact that not only is it most
important and necessary to their
own we'll being and of their future
generation, but also is it equally
important that the citizens of the
town of st. Martinville and sur
rounding country should awaken
to the fact that the lack of a good
Protestant Church in their COM
munity is q serious draw back to
the best interests of the town.
First class progressive citizens are
leaving the country every year on
account of the lack of religious in
stitutions. Good schools in oui
Parish are now the order of the
day, and in ell cases this goes
hand in hand with good churches
of all denominations. No one who
has visited Crowley, Jennipg OIL
Lake Charles can not but be .strucl
with the broad spirit of religious
federation exhibited in the abov,
towns in the shape of numerou
Churches for all denominations
This has. largely been the mean
Of drawing the best class of emf
grafton towards their country
We do not desire to look upon tn
building of Protestant church il
our town from a mercenary stand
point, but still it is an undeniabl
fact that it is very importar
business proposition for the cit
zens of the town to entertain, t.
: wit: the building and maintenance
:, of at least one good Protestar
= Church for white people.
The committee in charge of th
= Church affairs have decided to g
: to work right away. They belle,
that a lot of land should be don'
