A GREAT YACHT BA CE.

The Volunteer will Defend t e Claim of
the New York Yacht Clnb to f he Custody
of lhe Fameua America's t hii . ;
L Aiipatcli lrom New Ywrk : says i "The
tbir1 attempt to have ' a; t rial race to
choose the ablest yacht as f ne defender
of the America's cup again sf , the Scotch
Thistle resulted in one of p ie finest con
tests ever seen in these wa't.fs. I lT
There was a fctrong " ind blwiiiffH
trom norm to norm west . an aay. lit
reached a velocity of th f rty miles an
hour. Added to the sph ended condition
of the elements was the excellent judg
ment of the committee , who; decided
after the yachts got und ier way, that !a
triangular race thould ' oe sailed. That
decision gav the cont estants a course'
of thirty eight miles to tail over with the
wind on every hand. .
They had firun to leewf trd of ten mils
a stretch of nine miles an d return, and fa
beat for home of ten 'miles. At even
tual and in every weatr er, except dur
ing the first part of the ,run to lee ward,
when the Mayflower 'sailed better than
the Volunteer, the latt er beat her oppon
ent. Tbe outcome of the day's race was
that the Volunteer 'vas chosen I by th
America's cup comttittee, who judged
the event from thej flagship Electro, to
meet the Thistle in ths international
contest., ! :,: l ' ' i
The Thistle was out too, but her hand
ling was of such kin d during the first hal
of the race as to give no idea of what sh
could do. After that she was, evidently,
sailed for all she. was worth with a fou
bottom, and j unider the conditions wai
out sailed by! both the Mayflower and the
Volunteer. The official table of figurei
made by the judges was as follows:

Narrow Eapfj From a Blg Bear.
The largest bear any oms ever saw
was a cinnamon that came within fan inch
of killing one of my men, a good hun
ter and first-class guido Charles HuffX.
(I may refer to th; big cinnamon, too, asff
an instance of the danger that sometime
attends trappmg t ie bcar.) t He, had set
his traps near Sunlight, in theepring,
and was unable to visit them for a week.
When we got to t ie bait, trap and- log
were gone. After taking up the trail, hA
soon found the remnants "of his log
chewel to match -wood ; the bear, evi
dently a large one, had gone off with the
trap. He follower i his trail as long as he
had light, but found nothing, and had to
return to camp. Next day, very fool
ishly, he took the jtrail again alone, be
ginning where he pad-left off. After a
Hong march be came to- the steep side of a
hill ; the bear had evidently gone up
there; on the softJ snow-$odden ground
the trail was plain. Jufas he was be
ginning to ascend, there was aruih and
a roar, and the be"ar was on him. He
had no time to put, his repeater to his
shoulder, but letting it fall hetween hit
bands, pulled the tjrger. cThe Jjear was
within a few feet of him,ahd"by a great
chance the unaimed bullet took him be
tween the eyes. U(e;had evidentlj tried
the hillside, and, irorried bj thej heavy
trap, had come bickon his 'trail and
lain leniri'l a' great heap of dirt, into
which he bad partly xnt$9q$. waiting
