Y., between the British yacht Valkyrie and the American yacht Vigilant, sailed on the 9th, the latter won in 3:93:01, beating the Valkyrie 12 minutes and 23 seconds. That yachting maintains its character of a royal sport is shown by the racing of the prince of lVales’ Britannia and the German emperor's Meteor this season. That it is still popular with nobles and commoners is seen by the performance of Valkyrie and Satanita, and that the love of international contest infused into the sport by King Charles II. still remains is proved by the visit of the Navahoe to British waters, and the interest exhibited in the match' between Valkyrie and Vigilant in New York waters. The reduction in the Bank of England’s discount rate, the drop being from three and a half to three per cent., which has recently taken place, had been expected by those on both sides of the Atlantic who had been-watching the financial v situation in London.

Like conditions prevail in New York-, where money on call ranges from two to three per cent. It wasajworthy tribute that.was paid to the memory of Richard A.

AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Ei-Prwldent Harrison Pays a Visit to the Colombian Commission and Tenders His Congratulations Upon the Success of the Great Undertaking which Aiuerirau Genius and Skill llad Brooch to a Sue* cessful Issue. # Wom.d’8 FaIt. gkocst*-. Chicago. , Oct. 15.—Ex-President Harrison hou- I Dred the World's Columbian commission by his presence and a congratulatory speech at its meeting yesterday afternoon. When President Palmer sailed his colleagues to order he appointed. Messrs. Walsh, of Georgia; Ladd, of Massachusetts; Garvin, of Indiana, and Fnrth, of Kansas, a committee to escort the ex-president into the hall..

After being introduced to the commission, Mr. Harrison extended an offhand congratulation to the national representatives on the work they had accomplished and the complete success of the undertaking. He said he was proud of his connection with the exposition in furthering and making effective the legislation in its interest. He did not doubt but what the commission was as proud of its work as he was. The people came here and looked at the buildings and exhibits only, but a thoughtful man would see back of this the genius which had built the fair. As much t hought had been expended in its construction and management as were required in the building and operation of a great city. While he was grateful to the exhibitors and commissioners for their contributions to the exposition, it was essentially an American product. He believed not so much in copying the old world as in assimilating all that was great and good and artistic. « Excellent responses were made by Commissioners Tousley. of Minnesota: St. Clair, of West Virginia: Burton, of Kansas, and McDonald, of California. During the recess the commissioners were presented to the ex-president and then he retired to the fair to resume his sight-seeing as a private citizen. Gov.

An Operator's Timely Warning Saves the Fast Mall Train nu the ChW-ttgo, Milwaukee & St. l*anl Hoad from a Hold-Up by a Gang of Robbers. Chicago, Oct. 15.—The officials ol the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul road have good reason to believe that a plot had been laid to rob the fast mail train on that road early yesterday morning at a point just north ol Oak Glen station. About 3 o’clock in the morning four rough-looking men entered the telegraph office at Oak Glen station and inquired if the fast mail stopped at Oak Glen and when she was due. They were informed that she passed the station about 4 o’clock and did not stop. After leaving the office they were .joined by twe or three companions who had remained outside and the whole party proceeded a short distance up the track. The operator suspected that all was not right, and watching the party, saw them, after several attempts, succeed in lighting a lantern. He immediately notified the dispatcher in Chicago of the preparations being made by the men to flag and rob the fast mail. A special car containing a posse ot the company’s officers was immediately got ready and started from the city in advance of the fast mail. On arriving at Oak Glen the special slowed up and this dented the plan of the would-be robbery They had suspected the operator, and now their suspicions were resolved into fear. Throwing the^red lantern into the ditch they fled to the country, and when the police arrived at the spot of the proposed hold-up there were no traces of the men. After a fruitless search in the dark for the fugitives, the officers boarded their special, which was switched onto a side-track, and the fast mail proceeded on its way. *

LOST ON LAKE ERIE. TIm Freight 'temner Dean Rldipond Foondm, C»rrjrins Down Eighteen |P«f" son*. iDctadii i? Every Soak oo Frightful Hurtle With the * Rend Rodie: and Wreckage Warthedl Buffalo. X Y., Oct- 1-5-—The satVJ'.est ’ feature of the: lake storm which ra red ; last night is the reported loss of the steamer Dean Richmond, off the store near Dunkirk. The first heard of the the steamor was at 0 o'clock hia morning, when the captain of the Helena reported having sighted the Dean of Richmond off Long I’d nt, 8 where she seemed to be laboring under difficulties. -J

Later Capt. Jack Tierney of-the steamer W. H. Stevens reported that he sighted the Richmond about four hi ilea ; this side of Erie. One of her stacks .vaa missing, and while he was linking the other stack and-spar went by the boan^She was laboring heavily in the trpngb, ns though her steering gear had become disabled. Anxiety for the vessel became general in shipping circles last right when the severity of the northwestern g-ale that had been sweeping Lake Erie for forty-eight ho urs was made known by incoming vessels. These sirowed the effect of 'the t.errible seas, some being stove in. About 8 o’clock ;his m orning Capt. Le.ske, of the Helena, reported that i.e sighted the Richmond otf Long Point The storm was at its height at the time, and it was impossible to render any assistance to the vessel, although she seemed to be laboring under difficulties. The Helena was with diftic ilty kept aright herself, and Capt. Leiske reports his experience in this storm to have been the most severe of a ! ong life on the lakes. The Richmond was battling with the heavy seas and seemed to be at a great disadvant ige, almost dismantled and in. imminent danger of foundering. . This evening the worshiears ir regard to 'the fate of the vessel seemed realized when a dispatch froth DuaJtirk • announced that three bodies had lieen washed ashore in that locality. The remains could not be identified.and bore no marks by which the nam e of the vessel from which they had come could be ascertained. It was not long, „ however, bef ire quantities of wreckage began wi t hing ashore, and omthis debris traces of the name Dean Biehmond were discernable. The local » agent of the line to which the liichraond belonged immediately tele- , graphed to all points aloug the ake from Buffalo for information of the vessel, but no information as to her whereabouts could be obtained. All points gave evidence as to the severity of the gale s,nd its disastrous effects upon lake shipping and tiere is now no doubt that the Richmond foundered last night. The condition of the bodies washed ashore at Dunkirk indicate that the unfortunate seamen had not been dead long; that liey had probably been cast, adrift some time last night and had oeeu beaten to death on t ie dangerous rocks that abound in this part of the lake si ore. Wreckage is still being oast ashore, and it is believed the Richmond foundered not more than three miles out in the lake. It seems impossible that any of the eighteen souls on Vioaitl of her could have escaped alive. The Richmond was a “Clover Loaf,” boat and her crew were all from C eveland. She was one of the first large steamers which mark the coining style of marine construction 0:1 JLhe lake. She was of 1,350 tonnage and was built in Cleveland in 1804, but was rebuilt in 1873. She was owned by 1 Iotaford and others, of Port llu -on, and was' valued at 140,000. It is believed that she was fully insured’. The Richmond for several seasons past has 'Mien < bartered to the Toledo. St. Lot is A Kansas City line liitl ran in the general merchandise tn.de between Toledo and. this port. She carried no passengers. On the present trip her cargo cons sted almost entirely of flour from St. Louj^£*s and other southwestern points. Agent Hyde said to-night that he supposed thn- Richmond became*disabled in the trough of the sea. The crew remained on board with the nope that the steamer would ultimately go ashore, but this was not to be real ized and they were forced to make a light for life without a chance to take U the boats. Had the beach been a si.ndy one some of them might have survived, but there was little hope for any survivor on the rocky shore of Dunkirk. Eighteen persons, the entire crew of the propeller Dean Richmond, are given up for lost in last night's storm on Lake Erie. The corpses of five persons , have been washed ashore oif Van 11 iren Point, forty miles from this city, near Dunkirk. The shore of the lake is strewn with wreckage and mere landise. and the waves are hourly y elding up further evidence o:’ the fa e to which the Richmond has gone.
