THE "BRITANNIA" WITHDRAWN.
NEW YORK, July 20th. The first fair and square "try" of the new Cap candidate Defender took place to-day off Sendy Hook in a race with the 1893 champlon Vigilant. The result was not up to the expecte- | tions of those who had read of the remarkable manner in which the new bont had "walked " through the Vigiland's leo at Newport, and there apnerred to be some grounds for the report that the Wgilang was "neid bick on that occasion.
In the rice al fifteen miles to windward and return to-day the Defender haat the Vigilant by 2m 454. Of this time the Defender gained zm. and 41, on the beat to wls iward, and 41 sec on the ran home. After the rac: C. Oliver Iselin sild:
ains perfectly satisfied with the Defender,"
Here is what impartial vachtsmen think of her performance: The Defender has proved her ability in curry sall better than the Vigilant and to foot taster. She also has an easier motion through the water, and she beat the Vigilant in conditions where it was thought she would, viz. in head ses ant a good breres. Bat possibly the most creditable part of her performance lay in the fact that she iso beat the conqueror of the Valkyrie second in the ran down the wind."
A conservative view of the race would seem to be that, while the Defender's performance was a good one, it will require the greatest efforts of the Defender folks to work her up to cup. winning form In other words, they should noi leave a thing undone to make her foster than she is. It is almost a certainty that the Valkyrie | 777 woul i have given the Vigilant a hard racc In the commit tong prevailing to-day," and nobody" knows herter than the Cup Committee that still lighter bierzes haunt the regions off the Hook.
There is truk in po-day's race, however, that abpold wat he forgotter. The Defender made several tacks and moves which are not included in the log of gend seamanship. The cause for them will probably remain unexplained. There Is comfort in the knowledge that Captain Haff

The race was in the same waters that the Cup race will take place in in September. The course was one of the kind wherein the Valkyrie III will meet the Cup defender. The new boat not only ouisalled the old champion, bui sue outfooted her

The weather was about what is to be expected during the season in which the Cup races will take place. There was a good breeze of from 12 to 15 knots an hour blowing throughout the day and the sea was smooth. It is belleved the → Vigilant has been improved from five to ten minutes in a course of thirty miles over her 1893 form, and If this is the case, the Defender is indeed a pretty fant bout.

In the tacks which followed some people took the time between a laff into the wind and a full sati on the other tačk at ten seconds.
The Valkyrie of 1893 was indisputably a quick boat on tacks, and li has been estimated that she gained somewhere between ten and fifteen seconde on the Vigilant in getting about. If the Defender can make her turn from fall to full in anything like fifteen seconds she will do. On every tack that was made the Defender showed up in the lead, and her polating up against the wind was cleverly accomplished. The Defender's salls were almost always chock-fall at wind, yet

Head- tng up for home the yachts ran up a balloon jib topsail, swung over their spinnaker libbooms and set their salls over them. In the handling of the malls, the Defender showed the expert training her crew had undergone, while the Vieliant's men were slower..
On the ran home it looked as though the Vigilant, with her centreboard hauled up, was galding, but the Defender went over the line frst by zm. 451, having increased her lead on that run by 41 seconds,

AN INTERVIEW. WITH COUNT ITO. Colonel Cockeriil, the New York Herald's representative, appears to have bad very inter- esting chat with the Japanese Premier. The following is extracted from the published account of the interview -
It is mistakes to call these people "Vegetarians," because they generally only refrain from flesh-food at certain seasons. We do not call the Catholics by such a name, who do not eat meat on Fridays. It would be better to call them "Abstinents" or by some other name that would not be misleading. It is possible that some of these abstinent societies are more or less connected with the Kolas, or Triad, or Wille Llly, or other secret Socfetles, siace all have one common cause in wanting to be rid of the grievous oppressions under which they labour at the hands of the official classes. It is the fear of their uniting to strike for liberty that is the cause of the official animosity against them, and they stand a very poor chance when Referring to Chlon, Count Ito said that he once a charge is made agalust them.

Wherever the Missionary goes he strives to collect a band of people who are formed foto a church and by means of such xa organization are comparatively able to defy their oppressers. The more the converts become enlightened, the more troublesome it is feared they will be to manage, and the more dangerous therefore to officialdom. The Idea of axeligious sect or society is an abomination to the average official, and bence the anti-missionary feeling that is only kept down by fear of the inevitable gunboat or strong representations to P.king.
