PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Last spring the Three In One Co. offered a prize of 
$50 for the best new use for Three In One. A multitude 
of answers were received, and of these, the best one 
recommended the oil to clean glass and glassware and to 
keep it spick and span. This seems a novel use for a 
lubricating oil, but inquiry proves its efficiency for that 
purpose. 
J. M. Thorburn & Co.’s business was established by 
Grant Thorburn, at 20 Nassau street, in 1802. There were 
two or three subsequent changes of name, in which Thor¬ 
burn always appeared, and the business was incorporated 
in 1894. For sixty years their place of business was at 
15 John street, whence they moved to 36 Cortlandt street, 
and now they are moving again to a larger warehouse at 
Barclay street, running through to Park Place. For one 
hundred and four years the firm has dealt in high class 
flower and vegetable seeds and bulbs, and their business 
now is larger than ever before. Their catalogue will be 
sent on application.

Squadron Run—New London to Newport—Aug. 6. 
A thick fog kept the yachts in the harbor until long 
after the usual time for starting, and when they did get 
out to the line, there was no wind and every now and 
then the fog would shut in thick again. The Sound 
steamer Puritan had broken her shaft just near the 
course, and so the committee shifted the starting line. 
It was noon when the warning signal was made, and at 
that time the wind was very light from the south. The 
course from the line to Race Rock was S.%E., 314 miles, 
making it a beat. The yachts went over the line at 
12:10 in the regular divisions. Cara Mia led the 30- 
footers, followed by Banzai, Neola, Alera, Dahinda, 
Minx, Phryne, Tabasco and Atair. On the next signal 
the order was Mimosa III., Humma, Doris, Altair, 
Rosalie, Pelegrina, Isolde, Mimosa II., Gardenia, Janet 
and Phantom. 
Irolita led the 68-footers at the weather end of the line; 
next came Effort, Weetamoe, Neola and Hester in the 
order named, but the last two were badly handicapped. 
Vigilant was first of the next lot, with Sybarita to wind¬ 
ward, then Yankee and Rainbow. The small schooners 
were all handicapped. They crossed in this order: 
Katrina, Venona, Crusader, Simitar, Andromeda, Muriel, 
Ariel. Elmina was ahead of Queen and Corona, and 
then the auxiliaries and others went away in this order: 
Cachalot, Yencedor, Seneca, Lasca, Tekla, Endymion, 
Emerald, Idler. 
It was slow work getting down to Race Rock, and at 
that point Altair and Humma had taken the lead. The 
times were Altair, 1.20.00; Humma, 1.23.00; Weetamoe, 
1.26.00; Isolde, 1.26.02; Rainbow, 1.27.20; Sybarita, 1.29.22; 
Pelegrina, 1.31.02; Mimosa II., 1.31.10; Yankee, 1.32.22; 
Elmina, 1.32.24; Vigilant, 1.33.20; Queen, 1.34.30; Rosalie, 
I. 34.50; Doris, Neola, Irolita, Corona and Effort followed 
in the order named. 
At this point the wind had freshened considerably, and 
with big jib topsails, they were bowling along, heading 
toward Point Juidth and Newport, 36 miles away. 
Elmina had taken such a lead in the light wind beating 
to Race Rock that Queen had a hard task before her 
to overcome, the lead. Rainbow had a big lead—quite 
an advantage when the wind freshened. 
At Point Judith Queen was still some minutes astern 
of Elmina. Elmina had worked into the leading position 
and was followed by Vigilant, Sybarita, Queen, Rain¬ 
bow, Yankee, Weetamoe, Humma, Corona, Effort, Neola 
and Irolita. 
Spinnakers were set for the run in from the Whistling 
Buoy to Brenton’s Reef Lightship. Yankee had closed 
up very much on Rainbow, and as soon as she got her 
spinnaker set it appeared as though she would run 
up on the Vanderbilt boat, but an extra puff carried 
away her topmast, and Rainbow was able to go on 
alone. Mr. Maxwell had the wreck cleared away, and 
sailed across the line, giving Rainbow a record. Queen 
rapidly closed up on Elmina, and although she finished 
astern of that yacht, she won the race on corrected 
time. Sybarita beat Vigilant on elapsed and corrected 
time, and Weetamoe won from Effort by 3m. 14s. Wee¬ 
tamoe made her big gain in the light air at the start, 
and although Effort sailed fast after that, she could not 
quite reach the Weetamoe. 
The yachts this day were sailing for commodores’ 
cups in addition to the class prizes. In the schooner 
classes the winners of these trophies were Queen and 
Venona, and in the sloop classes Weetamoe and Neola 
II. Neola II. led the 30-footers; but her victory was 
rather a lucky one. At the whistling buoy Dahinda led 
by 3m., but for some reason or other Mr. Duncan kept 
his yacht wide of the course and allowed Neola II. to 
beat him out by 40s. The summaries follow:
