Wyoming's Somersault.
Philadelphia. Aug. 19. Although at
the Republican primary elections to be
held In this city tomorrow evening dele
gate will be elected to convention to
nominate a number of municipal offi
cers, most of the Interest in the pri
maries Is centered in the contest be
tween Senator Quay and the adminis
tration for delegates to the state con
vention. It Is probable that Philadel
phia county will be the pivotal point
in the tighf between Quay and his op
ponent and the winner In this city will
be the victor In the battle. Philadel
phia ha seventy delegate,and of these
about two-thirds are a5ssured to the
administration. David Martin, the Re
publican leader of Philadelphia, tonight
conceded Mr. Quay ten delegates.
The Kvenlng Telegraph, one of the
most stalwart supporters of the ad
ministration faction. prlnted-a table of
estimate this afternoon. In .which it

puts twenty-nine In the doubtful col

estimate of the number of delegates
that they expect to get from Philadel

counting on from eighteen to twenty
three. Mr. Quay said tonight that
even If he was disappointed in his hopes
In Philadelphia he could win without

TRIAL OF THE DEFENDERS.
The Yacht Defender and Vigilant Will
Meet Today to Determine Which Shall
llo Selected to Defend America's Cup.
New York, Aug. 19. The final pre
parations have been made for the first
trial races to determine what yacht
shall meet the challenger for America's
cup and the Defender and Vigilant will
meet off Sandy Hook for a battle royal.
Both yach ts 'are In better trim than ever
before and both will be sailed to the
limit of their abilities. Without ques
tion the Defender has been held iback.
and while probably no Jockeying has
been Intended, the syndicate boat has
not shown her full ability to go. Now
that her sails have been stretched, and
rigging gradually made taut, the boat
is ready for her full powers to be tested
and Is equipped as she will be for the
international ra,i. provided she Is
chosen to defend the cup. Her crew
had a busy day today. They put the
Inst finishing touches on her, and this
afternoon she was towed from heir
moorings, off New Rochelle, to New
York. The recent painting and scrap
ing of her aluminum sides and bronze
under-'body, and the new spars and
sails, make her the most handsome cup
defender Yankee Ingenuity has ever put
together.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the De
fender made sail and started down the
bay towards the narrows. There was
a spanking breeze from the north
northwest, and under mainsail, fore
sky sail and Jib the crack sloop ran
away from her tender, the Hattle Pal
mer, and easily passed the Iron steam
boat Taurus, with a load of excursion
ists bound for Coney Island.
The Defender passed the narrows at
4.30 o'clock and with her white sides
gleaming in the sunlight swept down
the lower bay to an anchorage in the
horse shoe, where the Vigilant has
been since yesterday. The horse shoe
is Just Inside of Sandy Hook and Is a
safe anchorage ground near the start
ing point of the races, and saves much
work for the crews of the yachts.
The Vigilant remained quietly at an
chor today. She Is in perfect condi
tion for one more trial at the Defender
and George J. Gould, who has not
spared money or trouble, and E. Wll-
lard, who has devoted months or time,
deserve much credit for their genuine
cportsmanhip. Althougih they saw
fit to retire the Vigilant from further
races at Newport, owing to the disre
gard of the customary rule of yacht
ing, they Waive kept their word and
placed th cup defender of 1893 at the
dlapor&l of the America cup committee
for the trial races. Mr. Wlllard has
stated, however, that any further dis
regard of 'the rules of the road by Mr.
I.ietin, or the skipper Of the Defender,
will be at their risk, as he doe not pro
pose to keep on forever giving way
to the new boat. Although (he regatta
committee decided against 'Mr. Wll
lard'i protest, the oonsesus of opinion
among yachtsmen Is that the Defender
attempted to '"hog the line."
The race tomorrow wlll be one of two
which are set by the America's cud
committee to determine which is the
best yaont to meet Lord Dunraven'a
ohallenger.t Should one boat win to
morrow's race and the other boat the
second race a third race may be fixed
tor eaiuraay. r rom the showing that
the Defender has already made in hr
race with the Vigilant, there I Htfla
doubt that he will be selected to meet
vamyrie in.

Of these three are owned by John

On the first settling these five fami

sought refuge with the neighbors,
some of whom felt very nervous as to
the safety of their property. The loss
is great and will run well up Into the

property and greatly depreciates the
