OBITUAHY.-In the death of Cornelius Poillon, Julv 11, New 

 York loses another of its old-time ship builders, whose ranks aro 

 rapidly thinning and remain, uutilled by the rising generation. As 

 a builder of yachts in recent years, Poillon obtained a reputation 

 for KOlid, bonent work, and to him was entrusted most of thu 

 heavy yachting tonnage built iu this port. The models for which 

 be was responsible were distinguished by their ability rather than 

 their.apeod or beauty. Droaduaught, Sappho. Clio and others bad 

 to be radically altered before they exhibited speed, while the du- 

 signB of his successful boats — the Peerless, Norua and Intrepid — 

 were furuiBued by specialists not connected with the yard.

'■PHE annual regatta of this enterprising Lake club tvas to have 

 * been sailed July 1th, but was postponed to July 12th, owing to 

 the attack upon the President at Washington. Commodore L. B. 

 Forties had .kindly tendered his steam yacht Augelique to the 

 judges, Brig. Gen. John C. Graves and Capt. Thomas .Maythem, 

 accompanied by Mr. John B. Breene, referee, Mr. E. P. Field, 

 time-keeper and Mr. T. P. Frank, measurer, tho press and guests 

 of the club. Eight yachts wore got away to a simultaneous utart 

 at 2:28, the Fleetwing not turning up, having been sold, Phantom 

 having withdrawn and Clara not fetching out in time. The wind 

 was light irom southwest, hardly enough to stem the tide. The 

 fleet got off iu the following order : Mignonette, Alarm. Curlow, 

 Telephone, recently from Cleveland, Turk, Lillie B., Petrel and 

 Arrow. Alarm took Ihe lead to the flrst mark which was rounded 

 by five only, Turk, Petrel and Telephone giving up. Clara, going 

 over the course, fouled Arrow to tbe hitter's detriment. The wind 

 picked up a little and to the second mark Alarmspnn out her lead, 

 with Arrow in her wake. Later a fine wind sprang up, carrying 

 the flebt home with the result as under :

THE INTERSTATE EEOATTA.

 who eeernB to have been the real owner of the Silence, and who, 

 used skipper Ira Smith simply as a blind in I he preliminaries. 

 Thoae who know the referee, 'Mr. Emile J. O'Brien, need not be 

 told that he is above tbe dirty business imputed to him by Mr. 

 Miller. It- is charity to the latter to assume that antistakeu vanity 

 so warped his better sense that he gave vent to atatement« lie 

 would not care to reiterate iu cooler moments. The Southern 

 yachtsmen have substantiated their explanation of the matter by 

 ample testimony, and it would have been more manly and credit- 

 able had tbe New York party known how to take their defeat in- 

 stead of peevishly assailing the good characters of irreproachable 

 gentlemen and sportsmen. The New Orleans Democrat wants to 

 kuow whether Mr. Miller is a representative yachtsman of the
