M. F. PLANT CHALLENGES.
Ingomar Will Probably Have sail-
 over in Cape May Cup Race.


 over in Cape May Cup Race. London, May 24.--The regatta com nittee of the Royal Yacht squadron re- lceived on Sunday formal challenge from Commodore Morton F. Plant of the Larchmont Yacht club for the Cape
 May cup with his schooner yacht Ingo- mar.
 The Times this morning thinks it would be ridiculous to sail King Ed wards yacht, the Britannia, especially with the present cut-down rig, against la fast schooner of the Ingomar type, and says it is by no means certain that the king will defend the cupt with the Britannia.
 When the Britannia was sold, says the Times, the cup ought to have been returned, but the matter was over-
 looked owing to the death of Secretary Rvs of the Royal Squadron, and the fact that the king re-purchased the
 Britannia does not seem to affect this question. Commodore Plant courteous fly agreed to race in August next, and considering all the circumstances it will probably be sail-over.

BODY OF 4 WoMAy
Found Floating in the Harbor Near the
 Watch House.

The body of a woman was found by two boys who were out in rowboat early last evening floating in the har- bor near the watch house. They noti- fled the authorities. Medical Examiner Bartlett viewed the remains but failed to find anything to serve as an identi- fcation, as the body was badly decom- posed He stated that he thought that the body had been in the water several months, as it had been badly eaten by fishes.
 It is apparently the body of wo- man about fifty years old; five and one half feet tall, and about 15O pounds in weight. He believes that it is a case of some accidental drowning off some boat, and will investigate the matter. The body was removed to Flynns un- dertaking rooms.
