1 SAD BEREAVEMENT.

From last Friday's New York Herald. As an additional incentive to the owners of yachts contemplating taking part In the coming race for the Cape May Cap. a N.Y.Y.C. member has presented the club a valuable cup, which will become the property of the owner of the yacht winning the competition. * Up to the present the understanding is that tBe same vessels as were engaged in the Bren ton's Beef Cnp race, Mr. John W. Masury's schooner Resolute, Commodore Georgs Lauder. Jr.'s schooner Endymloo and Mr. Wilson Marshall's three masted auxiliary schooner Atlantic, are enUfed for the Cape May trophy. The entry of the Resolute was received at Newport tbs last day o? the cruise. It is surmised by friends of Mr. Morton F. Plant, the owner of tbs schooner Ingomar. that be was much disappointed In not obtaining a race for the Cape May cap, in response uf hU challenge, and that he would much like to sail for it. The Ingomar. it is understood, is about to leave Southampton. England, for the United States, and if this is the case a sgr of fourteen days or so is predicted for the yacht. 'That would bring her back home about September 10. the date at present fixed for the start of the Cape May

Time to Stop. We clip the following from onr contemporary, the Star of the Cape. “The subsidised papers and the mereexries are laboring hard to create a ruction in the Republican ranks this Tall and they may succeed. The motive Is the old one which should not be overlooked by the responsible leader or leaden, that these agitator* want opposition in order to net to flowing freely, money. It is all “a matter btulneae " No fight, no snlakUea and cash'for the busy men, who are ready to deliver their dozens or bandreda of voters wherever needed! ” Yea; It Is time it was stopped. That is why the opposition to Hildreth, Way and Bright Is created by those Who have' bee* carrying on this business for some years.
