The Valkyrie, quite against common expectation, was badly, but fairly beats en in Saturday’s race. _There waslittle wind, the sea was rough and choppy, and the universal belief was that these conditions were just what the British craft most desired and the Defender most dreaded. If she could not win in such conditions as prevailed during the opening race, it is not hasty or’uu- reasonable to conclude that she cannot beat the Defender at all. It was far fromau ideal day for a yacht race, from the popular point of view. It was nasty weather, the sky being overcast most of the time and fog covering the sea at intervals, and the wind was not brisk enough to make a lively pace and keep the interest of the spectators at a high pitch. In fact, long before the finish line was reached it wasa certainty that the Defender would come in far ahead, even“ though in the drifting match, both boats should fail t) come in .withiu the prescribed six hours. At the start the English boat gained a signal advantage, and for perhaps the first hour during the beat to wind ward it was difficult to tell which ofthe yaChts was in the lead. Grit-aduall‘lir the superiority of the De- fender: was disclosed, and from the 7 moment this appeared it was her race. . . 'fé‘lic‘Valkyrie was hopelessly lefibehind f “3 “his?“ ' ' ”rival.“ . Indeed, it seemed quite apparent that the faster Defender was simply manip- ulating the Valkyrie inruuning so long and close behind her, to ascertain the very best she could do, for on drawing away from her antagonist near the stake boat, she rounded it three min- min‘utes ahead, and therefrom steadily increased her lead on the home run and winning the race by eight minutes and f irty nine secands. All agree that the race was fairly sailed and fairly and most decisively Won, and while it does not absolutely insure our retention of the America’s cup, it most encouragingly‘ increases our chances for keeping it. . Neither yacht suffered any mishap or ill luck and the fact is that with condi- tions fuvu'ing the Valkyrie, the De- fender proved herself the better boat. The result is highly gratifying to American yachtsmen’and the American public generally, 'and however dis- couraging to our English friends, for- tunately they can find nofault With the treatment their championr'receive‘d. Ii is estimated that fully twenty-five thousand people crowded the fleet of observation and barring quite general sea-sickness, caused by the heavy swell, the spectacle Was grandly inspiring. fil‘osmorrow’s race and its result, will be awaited with the mo:t intense inter- est. M..._____————-— Draining the Great Lakes. The importance of looking ahead is llustrated in the Chicago drainage cruel. The Chicago river, which re- ceives the drainage of the city, flows into Lake Michigan, from which the city takes its water supply. If it could b3 made to flow away from the lake, the pollution of the water would be avoided and the river would still be useful for commerce. And this is what has been done. By cutting a canal through the divide which surrounds the lake basin, the current of the river is reversed and it is conducted, toward the Mississippi. ' / This is a magnificent scheme and has justly excited great admiration. But as its execution advanced the fact be- gan to be realized that the canal would not only drain the Chicago river sewers, but Would also drain Lake Michigan, and through it the whole-lake system, United States engineers who have ex- amined the matter estimate that the average flow'oi the canal will reduce the level of water in the lake by six inches! The minimum iathree inches l .1 , _ adno chance of passing her speedier. and the maximum may be nine inches. This will not only make a difference along the water front of all the lake ports, but will materially diminish the carrying capacity of the vessels employ- ed in lake commerce. A late computa- tion puts the loss to the present fleet from this cause at over a million dollars a year. It is’assumcd that the. lowering of the water level will extend to Lake Erie, and the fear is now expressed that it will so diminish the supply to the Erie canal as seriously to impair its useful- ness. A difference of six inches in the depth of the water in the canal, it read- ily can be seen, would be avery serious thing indeel. ‘ Of course, these predictions are mainly conjectural and may be exag- gerated. The level of the lakes Varies materially in the course of a season and exact calculations are hardly possible. But it requires no stretch of imagina- tion to perceive that the diversion of a part of the water of the great lakes in- to the Mississippi involves very much more than the disposal of a big city’s sewage. The Chicago men seem not to have thought of that. Intent upon their own immediate problem, they did not look beyond and they are only now begin- ning to perceive the possibly extensive results of their undertaking. The re- port of the engineers on the subject in- timates that this c-inal may involve considerations of such importance, to national commerce as t) compel the in- terference of Federal authority. A Dramatic Festival. Beginning this evening, at the Nor— walk Opera House, Puck’s Comedians, with Miss Louise Arnot, will begin a week's engagement at popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

Father Slocum on Schools. Rev. W. J. Slocum, formerly of this city, preached the sermon at the morn- ing service in St. Mary’s church. Wat- erbury, yesterday. He also came out upon the altar at all the masses and gations. In speaking of the schools, Father Slocum said that the public schools were a blessing. There,w.rs no barrier placed by the Roman Catholic church against Roman Catholic children at- tending the public schools. He said that in the parochial schools the church insisted on a religious instruction to some extent which many parents were desirous their children Should receive. .——~———-<.- , Wanted to Bite. The hull dog belonging to John Bur- home of Wendell Ashton on Elm street, made a dash at Mrs. Winfield Scott, bitten her but for the_very oppurtune arrival of William Montgomery who chased the canine into its kennel. Mrs. Scott did not recover from her fright for several hours. The dog should be either kept chained up or muzzled as it is the cause of much, fear to parties liv— ing in the neighborhood. An Experiment. Commodore Cornell’s yacht, Ernie, sprangaleak and sank off Gregory’s Point, Saturday afternoon. was raised yesterday by the Riley & Waters wrecking company and towed to the dry docks, where the owner pro- poses havinga Portland cement bot- tom put in the yacht.
