This Weeks Races.

Another week of yacht racing excite

contests on the waters, and many mill

the speed of this wonderful American
built craft.
The first race was as conclusive and
as fair a race could well be, and it was
under the conditions that the English
boat was said to desire. That does not
mean, however, that no interest re-
mains for the race of today and Thurs

possibility of fukes and accidents

There is q cloud on the performance
of Dan Fatch in lowering the pacing
record to 15.9. 1t seems that the record
WAS made with the help of wind
break drawn by running horses. 1t
was something of the same device
which has been used in bicycle racing,
where, by creating partial vacuum,
the racers can make better time. In
one sense it is as though the racer
We're being pushed from behind. Pub
lie interest in bicycling at once began
to decline with the Introduction of the
moter cycle and other artificial aids to
greater speed. The introduction of any
such method in horse racing is to be
deplored, and We feel that the per-
Torrance of Star Pointer with a record
of 1874 without the aid of any wind
break was worth much more to the
PAGER than 1.59 to Dan Patch with the
hell. of Il nd-break. There is, at
least, some consolation that no such
device can be used to help running
horses unless horsemen are willing to
put the automobile on the race track.
That would be a mixture so incon-
gruous that neither the horsemen nor
the general public would take to it.

not imagine that there will be any sleep

there was something like 100000 farms

The New G. A. r. Commander.


1t is evident that the Grand Army of
the Republic made no mistake in elect
ing General John C. Black of Chicago
as its commander-in chief. He is Il
sterling type of the citizen soldiers
whom the people of this country de-
light to honor, and whom they will hold
in grateful remembrance.
A brave officer still bearing in his
advanced years the scars of serious
wounds received in battle, he enjoys,
in merited degree, the confidence and
respect of the members of the great
patriotic organization over whose af-
fairs he has been called to preside.
Since the close of the. Civil War.
when not in public life at Washington,
he has devoted his time and energies
to the practice of the law in Chicago
He was the United States commissioner
of pensions, under President Cleveland,
from 1885 to 1885, From 1893 to 1895 he
was a member of Congress at large
from Illinois, and from 1895 to 1899
served as the United States attorney
for the northern district of that state
General Black is recognized as a
good organizer and an orator of eXcep-
tional gifts. Under his administra-
ton it is safe to say that the affairs of
the G. A. r. will be conducted wisely
and we'll.

The celebration Of the 18TH ami

in Maine as a denominational news
paper. Not so very many years ago,
there were the Christian Mirror pub

Richmond by the Free Will Baptists;
the Gospel Banner published at Au-

breaches the sound Baptist doctrine
throughout the State as it did three
quarters of a century ago. For years
the late DIR. Joseph Kicker of Augusta
was its editor. Another man of
sainted memory who controlled its
destiny for a number of years was Rev.
Adam Wilson, father of Judge Wilson
of South Paris. For Il quarter of a cen
fury it has been ably edited by Henry
S. Burrage. The fact that there are
few UNCONVENTIONAL papers than there
We're Il few years ago does not of neces-
sity mean that religious papers are less

small and local religious papers have
been bought up by larger ones which
circulate all over the country, and
have been consolidated with them
Thus the CongregatioDalist, the
Waterman, the Zion's Herald and
others reach families of their various
denominations throughout the State
and in a large measure if not wholly
fill the place of the Maine publications

But the enemy will meet with a warm
reception. The city's gallant defenders
are on the alert and preparations on

1t is pretty nervy of the Canadians to
make the claim that Hudson Bay is in
land waters, and as such, wholly sub
ject to Canadian jurisdiction. But
Canada is used to making nervy
claims, as we have seen in the con-
troversies over fishery matters and the
Alaskan boundaries. This last claim
seems to be too preposterous to be
seriously considered. If an arm of the
ocean lake Hudson Bay is to be viewed
as practically lake within British
territory, it will be in order for this

shortly afterwards went from Bruins
wick to Arkansas. Waldron &, Moore

Tenney published the Telegraph for
