A heavy tog hung over Manhattan Island, and|people looked out of windows and wondered if it would be safe to go to see the race. Soon it cleared a little, H the excursion boats and tugs and vessels of every sort started for the Sandy Hcek lightship from where the Gtanerta and Puritaa were to start, well filled with good people, who almost unanimously wisher* that the Puritan would win. Tha sun earns out fttoat 9:80 and gave a brighter appearance to matter.*. But away dowa In the lower bay was a bank at tog whiC£ made things look dubious, and there was much conjecture aboard the big excursion -boats about collisions and various other accidents. The tug Luckenbacb, carrying the cup committee of the Wew York Yacht dub and about fifty others, left Pier 8, North river, at 8:15 a. m. Ehe met hundreds of vessels bound for the same destination. Everything which could float was brought into requisition atad the harbor dever seemed so full The excursion steamers were crowded trom main to hucricanj decks.

Four years ago Charles Avery, 39 years old, married Mrs. Symme3, a widow of Tainton, Somerset, hiring an estate valued at $300,000. Aivaiy was a poor tenant on Mrs. S) mines' estate. Mrs. Symmes died in April last, leaving $3,000 to Avery and giving the rest of her estate to. her two children, Ada, born in 1871, anil' Da vid. The guardians of the heirs and ex•outors of the e-tate were William Part idge and Mrs. Louis) Quillaumes.

The crowd was not composed of the ordinary loungers about pnlict, courts. These were present in sufficient numbers, but they were re-enforced an this occasion by .hundreds of respectable, solid: citizens, including wall-to-do tradesmen, manufacturers and business men." Inn people had heard so much about tha perils to which their daughters were liable to be subjected that they had fouud time to attend a police court session in order to Judge for themselves of the character of the man who made the charges and of the nature of his methods and agencies. Not only the court-room but the whole neighborhood was blocked the iniole day, and In the outside crowd the current of sentiment was Tery obviously against the defendants. When Jlr. Stead and the rest of the aoonsed came to the court they were hissed and groaned at, but when they left the building at the close of the proceedings it seemed as though pandemonium had been let loose. They were zealously guarded and protected by the police, but the bobbies were unable to check the torrent of filthy abuse with which they were assailed, and bad great difficulty in protecting their ctuvrges from personal violence. The scenes inside) the court-room were very different from the usual routine of a police court. The array of counsel, both for tha proeecutlon and defense, was almost unprecedented. Mr. Stead was smiling and self-possess ad. He took copious notes of the proceedings, and did not hesitate to Correct Mr, Poland whenever he thought the treasury solicitor was in error as to facts. Mrs. Jarrett was the only one of the defendants who was placed in the dock. She looked careworn, and she suffered considerably from the beat and stifling latmospbere of the court-room. Bram well Booth is deaf and used a hum ear. trumpet whicn he turned with nervous energy upon each speaker in the hope of hearing what was said. Bliza Armstrong proved a model witness. She is a neat, wholesome-looking girl, and was not at all frightened by the novelty of her situation . or the size of her audience. She gave her testimony without confusion and displayed a considerable amount of acuteness. Her mother is a determined-looking, harsh-speaking woman who glared upon the prisoners by turns, but she is evidently Very fond of her daughter. Scores of reporters were packed like herring inside of the bar. Mr. Poland made a powerful speech, two hours long, and was frequently interrupted by applause, which the oourt officers were powerlees to suppress. The witnessos ware -not ctck» examined at the end of their direct testimony, but the defendants reserved the right to cross-examine. i, except in their width, and that the Puritan had a white streak around the top of her hull. Besides that the sailors of the Puritan wore dark blue caps, while the cape of the crew of the Oeneata were half red and blue. At the end of the first mile Boss was a length in front of Hanlan while Lee was fully a length behind the champion. Han. lAn then raised his stroke to 83, speedily shooting past Ross who still continued his long stroke. Lee was now rowing in fine form and rapidly catching Ross. At the second mile Lee passed Ross, white Hanlan had (he race m hand and simply paddled "home, beating Lee by a length and a half in 23 minutes 31 seconds. Left finished nearly four lengths in front ol Wallace Ross. There was a diversity of feeling among the bands as to what was the proper tune to play. The band on one of tha Iron steam' boats began with '"Yankoe Doodle," but the band on another steamer showed mofe tact, and played a tune that could be taken fC* either "God gave the Queen" or "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." This tune was played for ten minutes, and then one man on the beat said: of Mrs. Symmes and uncle at tho children. Avery took possession of the entire estate, wheronpon tho ■aAaiinistrators demanded possesion of the two children, while Avery instituted proceedings for their retention. "What's the. matter with 'Yankee Doodle? " Brighton beach Races* Wiien the matter was finally brought into court Avery had fled from England with the children and came to Council Bluffs, registering from New York, and announcingthat the young girl, Ada, was his wife. Among the guests at the hotel was Mrs. A B. Moore, of Grand Island, Neh., who in the course of a week or two gained the confidence of young Ada Symmes, who was a delicate, r under creature, and Ada confided to Mrs. Moore the story of her wrongs. Bhe said she was not married. Avery had sold Mrs. Symmes' valuable collection of jewels, she said, moitly in New York, and taken from yonng Ada a gold watch given to her by har mother, which be sold in Council Bluffs, together with other valuable articles. Mrs. Moore caused a letter to be written to the girl's uncle, Mr. Hodge, informing htm of all the circumstances. On July 16, Avery apptiod for a marriage license at Council Bluffs, alleging the girl's age to be 17, but th*cierk refused a lioenso, as 17 was under the lawful age. Avery then made aa affidavit that he was the lawful guardian of the girl, and gave consent to the marriage of his own ward and stepdaughter to himself. License was thereupon granted and a marriage oeremony was performed by Bev. T. S. Webb, a visiting minister. Nrw Yobk, Sept. a—The races at Brighton Beach were well attended considering the attraction of the international yacht race. "It wouldn't be courteous to play that,* said the bandmaster. "Then play it with variations." That is what most of the bands did. They played "Yankee Doodle" with so many variations that the Englishmen cook!n't postfbly recognise it, and some of tha oxcursianists were fooled so much that they began to waltz on the slanting decks. The yachts started so quietly that few found it out until five minutes later, when everybody looked at them through evory kind of old and new opera glasses, telescope, field glasses and double spectacles. The steamers and tugs followed close together, as if there was a floating pier in the ocean and they were tied to it. But after an hour they were either strung out in a long row bohind the racers or were hovering around and tooting. The old veteran America kept On the outer edges of the fleet. Gen. Benjamin Franklin Buler Bat beside the man at the helm. He wC re a blue yachting suit and an old blue yachting cap over big i long hair. Whenever any of the excursionists saw the yacht and the faded yachting flags at the masthead they cheered, and when they were dost enough to see the companion of the man at the wheel they made more noise than the whistles.
