year when Si- Richard Sutton’s chal
lenge for the America’s cup, with his
handsome cutter, Genesta, has there
been such interest in yacht racing in
this county- as is manifest in the sport
hero now, and it began in earnest with
the first of the trial races between the
four rivals for the honor of defending
the trophy.
At 10 o’clock the waters off Sandy
Hock were gay wijth yacts of all classes,
and a continuous line of white specks
could he made out all,the way up the
hay. Crowds of spectators watched the
departure of the fleet from Bay Ridgtn
while iuumuerablo crafts were crowded
with people lioimd to' witness the great
race.
At 11 o’clock the cup defenders passed
the highlands of Navosink ou their way
to the starting point. The weather was
beautiful, a fair wind)coming out of the
south that has eyery appearance of fresh
ening as the day advances.
Off at 11.43.
The starting gun was fired at 11:44.
The yachts Vigilant and Jubilee crossed
the line at 11:45, with top-mast housed
maiusail, fores tnysSil and jib. The Co-
lonia crossed'the line qt H :47. She had
the same sails and her topsail set besides.
Tto Colonia was on the port tack at 11:50.
The Jubilee,; with topsail housed is out
of the race.
12:20.—Both; yachts are now south of
the Highlands, standing E. S. E. The
Vigilant is about half a mile ahead of
the Colonin slid is out pointing her.
The Pilgrim Oat.
12:25*—The yacht Pilgrim is out of the
race aiid is going up^he bay in tow. The
reason is hot known. She appears all
right bypassing here.)
THE VQORHEF.S BILL.
Tho Senate Consider* tlie Measure—Mr.
Walthall's Proposition.
■Washington, Sept. 7.—After the dis
position of some morning bnsiness, Mr.
Voorhees moved to proceed to the con
sideration of the bill to repeal the Sher
man act.
In connection with that motion, Mr.
Morgan said that, although ho had
intended to ask a vote on that
his resolution for a joint select commit
tee on finance, he did not wish to antag
onize the chairman of the finance com
mittee. He had some conference with
Voorhees, and agreed not to press his
resolution.
The senate then, without any objec
tion took up the repeal bill, Mr. Stewart
being entitlod to the floor to continue his
speech.
Mr. Stewart, however, offered to fore
go his right temporarily in favor of Mr.
Walthall, who desired to address the
Senate. Mr. Walthall expressed his
willingness to eo-oporat© in prompt ac
tion on the bill, and suggested a simple
mode to promote it. That to put into
the form of enactment tho declaration of
policy made in the bill. If that were
done "the hill could l>e passed iu half the
time.
Walthall, in his speech <#i the repeal
bill, said the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law did not cause tho present
financial condition, but was the culmi
nation causes. Other countries which
had no Sherman law were suffering just
as much.
He was sure ropeal would load to a
single gold standard in America. The
people of Mississippi were himetaliste
and believed in free and unlimite coinage
of silver.
TILLMAN IS ANGRY.
Ho Says Some Har*h Thing* About tho
United State* Court Judge.
Columbia, Sept. 8.—Governor Till
man is angry. He does not believe in
tlie decrees of the federal judge, Sirnon-
ton, at Charleston. On tliis subject he
says:
“I issued the order to Swann, mid
Swann is simply a public official of
South Carolina duly authorized to act
under tlie disi>eusary law. It is infa
mous to claim that lie is in contempt of
court under these circumstances.
Deep down in the heart of the Anglo-
Saxon race is a burning contempt and
hate for tho judge who lends himself to
acts of tyranny or allows himself to be
the tool of saloon keepers and corpora
tions. There may be no reckoning with
this judge, for he is fortified against
everything except public opinion. Judge
Simonton has not shown in his decree
wherein the contempt consisted, and we
are given to understand that whisky in
the hands of railroads run by receivers
cannot lie seized without a warrant. If
so. it will lie contempt of this South Car
olina Jeffreys.
Tlie law is paralyzed to this extent and
the temperance people and the law abid
ing citizens of the commonwealth will
know at whose door to lay the blame.
We will c:irry the case to Washington
on habeas corpus and ask the United
States supreme court to right this wrong.
We may fail, as we did in the case of
the sheriffs, but in contending for right
and justice, I will never consider the
course or the result.” .
A Bad Woqjan with a Gun.
Cincinnati, Sept. 8.—A dispatch to
