All of the Incoming trains brought large crowds W people to see the races. At 11.15 the yachts hitched out to sea, followed by the judges' boat and the pleasure fleet The starting point Is probably five mllefc southeast of the lightship. At 12-10 the-starting gun was fired and the yachts crossed the line. The Colum b;a was ahead, the Constitution sec onC1, and the Independence far to th | rear. They stood on the starboard hitch !p a southeasterly direction. At 1 o'clock the Columbia was berthed to tilt windward, holding the better po sltion In the race.

M. de Wollant took occasion to reiterate these sentiments in speaking with Mr. Hill. Russia does not believe that she lids been fairly treated. She tnslsts that the sugar tax certificates are not mediums of exchange, but are used by sugar exporters to meet taxes on the other sugar raised. It is apparent from the Russian note that had the duty on Russian sugar never been Imposed the increase of duties upon American imports would not have followed.One of olae'rs after entering office stopped the practice of the employment of national bank examiners for the private examination of banks.
