' There were crowds of natives present and the utmost enthusiasm was manifest- ed. At the conclusion of the ceremonies a royal salute was fired from the British warships. ' The noise of the guns so startled the horses attached to the sultan’s carriage that they plunged and reared furiously, and were with difficulty restrained by their driver from dashing away) beyond control. The sultan, bewildered y the roar of the ships’ guns and alarmed by the terrified behavior of his horses, completely lost his head, and springing to his feet gazed around him in bewilderment for a moment ' and then sprang from his carriage, seri. ously injuring his legs and head by the fall he sustained.

The wind was very favorable to the yachts- men, and the whole race down to the mouth of the Housatonic river and back was close and exciting. The Elm City accompanied the yachts over the course and about 800 spectators wit- nessed the race from the steamer. The start was made. shortly after eleven ofclook in the morning. . The 'wind blewjfrom the northwest and the yachts had It‘di'trouble in getting over. the imaginary liiié between the steam- er Messenger, on which were the judges, and-Pardee’s buoy. The course was to. the mouth of the Housatonic river and return,'in all a little over twenty-miles. The Dare Devil was the first 'to go over the starting line, going acress un- der full sail only a few seconds after the starting gun had been fired. The Carrie W. was second, the Mariota third and the Champion, Commodore Frank Burritt’s new boat, fourth. Then followed the Stranger, Aria, Wanda and the Rival in the order named. The latter yacht is a speeder and she had not crossed the line long before she caught up with the leaders and commenced to show her speed. The race was a pretty one all the way down to the turning point, but when the yachts had squared away for home the real racing began. The Wanda, carrying as much canvas as she had, came bowling along with Jack Macau- ley’s Stranger keeping her company. The Wanda was clearly outspeeding a great many of the other yachts when she got too near the shore and lost the breeze and also a great advantage that she had gained. The Champion was the first to cross the finish line, having outstripped all the other yachts. She was closely followed by the Rival, which had been the last to go out; then the Flora and the Stranger. The lat- ter yacht was sailed over the course by her owner, Jack Macauley, and there does not seem to be any boat in her class, or in some others, fast enough to beat her out. The Stranger was en- tered in class four, twenty-two feet to twenty-eight feet, but there were no other competitors in this class and be- fore the race Macauley entered in class threeLfor yachts twenty-eight feet to thirty-three feet. She won first money in this race and Captain Waterhouse of the Wanda thought it was an injustice to him in giving the first prize to the Stranger. He claims that he did not know that the Stranger was entered in the class the Wanda was in, and if he had he would not have sailed his boat against her. He further said that he would not sail his boat again in another race. The Stranger won the Warren chal- tlenge cup and a special prize for best corrected time in Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4. The Stranger’s corrected time was 3:52:26. The Rival took $30, the first prize, and the Derby challenge cup for win- ning in Class 2. The Flora received the second prize, $10, the Wanda the second prize, $10, in Class 3, and the Champion, the first prize, $20, in Class 6. A Riding School. Mr. R. J. Stephenson of New York is in town for the purpose of opening a riding school for ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Stephenson will make his head- quarters for the present at Col.

Thelr Seats at Wlndsor. The following are the details of the water pipe burst in the Queen’s palace, Tuesday night, to which reference was made in yesterday’s DAILY GAzn'r'rn: It did not become generally known until this morning that there was a most strange and exciting scene at the royal banquet given at Windsor Castle, last night inhonor of the Queen’s imperial grandson. It appears that a large wa- ter pipe burst in the banquet hall while the Queen was entertaining the Empe- ror and party of distinguished guests, a majority of whom were members of the royal and imperial families. The result was that the hall was almost flooded with water. Finding that the combined efi'orts of the Queen’s attend- ants and of the castle servants were powerless to check the flow of water rom the broken pipe it was found nec- esSary to summon the fire. department, who eventually succeeded in turning the water ofi‘. Some time elapsed before order was restored and before the Queen’s guests were able to resume .their seats at the table and managed to continue the ban- quet in the much dampened hall. A state banquet was given in St. George’s hall last night. The guests sat ata table 150 feet Iong,upon which were displayed gold candelabras and the whole of the royal plate, valued at £1,- 800,000. _ -.. . ..‘->_. .-_ .._ _:.... Golden Wedding. We have been furnished with the fol- lowing additional particulars of the very interesting golden wedding anni- versary of the parents of Mr. O. E- Wilson, of Norwalk, which occurred on the 30th ult. Just fifty years that day Norman A. Wilson, of Harwinton, and Harriet L. Griswold, of Torrington, were married by the Rev. Samuel Day. The couple have resided in Harwinton everzsince. Ex-Senator Lewis Catlin and his sister, Mrs. Webster, who were present, are the only persons now liv- ing who were also present at their mar- riage. No man has done more for his native town than Mr. Wilson and so it was not surprising that a hundred and more of his fellow towns people assem- bled to do him honor, and also to pre- sent him an easy chair. The Torring- ton Register for which paper Mr. Wil- son has been a valued contributor for years, sent him a large rattan rocker, and his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wilson, gave their par- ents a bright golden eagle each. Six children, four sons and two daughters, survive to bless and make happy the declining years of their aged and wor- thy parents. — ”-4 —~-—_<..>.._.. A Narrow Escape. When the steamer John H. Starin was ofi‘ Penfield Reef Tuesday night on her return from Glen Island, a sail- boat was sighted flying the signal of distress. It proved to be a 19-foot cat- boat containing one man and two boys. They were Robert L. Shepard of South- port, the owner of the boat; George Slosson, of Waterbury, and George McKay of Southport. They had been to Bridgeport and were on their way home when a squall struck the boat, capsizing it just 011' Penfield reef.. They drifted at the mercy of the wind and waves until the Starin sighted their signal of distress. A line was passed them from the Starin and they were towed to New Haven. Mr. Shepard, the owner of the boat, on arriving in New Haven found himself placed in a decidedly unpleasant position. His coat with all his money, was lost over- board, and the boys had just enough to get themselves home. He was fur- nished with comfortable quarters at the Tontine. He is a correspondent of the Southport Chronicle. 0. Men Who Hurt avTown. All who oppose improvements. Who never push their business. All who distrust public spirited men.
