Starin's Glen Island resort is one which always delights those who visit it, and almost without exception much more is realized than has been anticipated, for it is certainly the nearest approach to a modern Garden of Eden, so far as its superior natural history advantages are concerned, that exists anywhere in this country. The steamer John H.

Starin will make two trips each week from New Haven to this resort during the summer season. The time table and rates of fare will be found in another column of this paper. DANBURY LOOKOUT. What the Men and the Manufacturers Had to Say Yesterday. Danbury, July lockout in the hat shops continues to-day practically the same as Saturday night.

The finishers' union are of the opinion that the lockout will be short lived. The shops included in it, they assert, are the smaller ones, and there are only six interested. Then, they cannot afford to close their whole shops because of the troubles with the finishers, and in the course of a few days they will resume operations, when the old finishers will back. The manufacturers, on the other hand, say they will close their factories until the old agreements are renewed, or if the finishers' union does not wish to renew them they will employ finishers not members of the union.

Won't Challenge Again if He Loses This Time-Defender a Great Bont-Allsa Beats Eritannia in Another Race on the Clyde. London, July Dunraven, in an interview to-day, said that the Valkyrle III. would sail for New York on July 18.

Her present mainmast will be taken out for the voyage and a shorter one substituted. "I am not in the slightest degree discourage by the trial of the Defender," he said. "If the Valkyrie does not win in the American light winds the Americans have a respite bullding yachts to defend the America's cup." Captain Barr, who commanded the old Thistle, said in an interview "The cup is already lost. Valkyrle could beat the Thistle by forty minutes and defeat the old Valkyrie by about fifteen minutes, but she can never catch the Defender." The Times says: "The best sailing of the Valkyrie III. Is done on an even keel dead down the wind.

It is not likely that any yacht ever ran so fast in light weather. She does not reach well in the Clyde waves, but she might skim fast enough with short breezes in AmerIca. She will leave the country with a hopeful prospect of winning the America's cup. She has not seen her best yet, and, as she starts for America In about ten days, there will be ample time to get her fit before the contest." Hunter's Quay, July Valkyrte III. started up the Clyde in tow this morning, bound for Henderson's yard, where she will be fitted for her Voyage to New York.

The Britannia and the Ailsa started in a race over the usual course this morning, the Ailsa crossing the line at 10:30:12 and the Britannia at 10:30:25. The wind was blowing fresh from the south and both boats carried Jackyard topsails. It was a dead beat to windward for the first mark. The Ailsa had the weather berth and an exciting struggle ensued, with good deal of short tacking all the way to the weather mark. The Ailsa was extremely well handled, and penned the Britannia in under her lee at little every while but The wind softened for: freehened again, and the yachts heeled far over.

The boats rounded Skelmorlie in this order: Allsa, 11:43:05. Britannia, 11:44:03. The time of rounding Ascog was: Ailsa, 12:04:18. Britannia, 12:05:35. The wind was now blowing strong and both boats shifted to jibheaded topsails.

The Allsa was beating well, and the Britannia was sailing fairly, under good handling. The Britannia attempted to carry her spinnaker and run through the Allsa's lee on a broad reach to Kilcreggan, but the attempt was unsuccessful. Passing the Clouch light the Ailsa had a lead of two minutes. Ailsa, 1:13:05. Britannia, 1:24:33.

It was a wonderful keen race, both boats making a number of short tacks for the weather mark on the second round. The Ailsa fully maintained her lead, and continued to be exceptionally well handled, Captaln Jay beating Captain Carter at his game of keeping to the windward. The wind increased to half a gale and the sea became quite heavy. This was supposed to be Britannia weather, but the Ailsa was, neverthelesss, consistently beating her. A heavy rain cloud completely obscured the boats on the eastern shores, but when the Ailsa disappeared from view she had her time allowance perfectly safe.

The rounding of the Skelmorlie mark was made by the Ailsa at 2:11:35 and by the Britannia at 2:12:03. The Ailsa changed her jib for a smaller one on the way down, but the results of the change were difficult to follow, owing to the drizzling rain and thick haze. As the boats emerged from the haze in the neighborhood of Ascog the Britannia was leading by 'thirty seconds and the Ailsa had no jib set. The time of the yachts rounding Ascog was: Britannia .2:37:25 Ailsa .2:37:55 The Ailsa's jib split off Innelain, and the Britannia having passed her, was leading by fifty-five seconds and sailing well. The Ailsa was going by the head, her main boom periodically trailing for several minutes in the water.

The wind and sea were still heavy. The Ailsa won, finishing at 3:46:08. THE TWENTY RATERS. Hunter's Quay, July twenty raters, the Niagara, Zinita, Eucharis and Dakotah, started half an hour after the big boats, crossing the line as follows: Zinita 11:00:02. Niagara 11:00:07.

Eucharls 11:00:16. Dakotah 11:00:19. These boats finished the first round in this order: Niagara 11:49:58. Eucharis 12:52:20. Zinita 12:58:28.

Dakotah 1:00:21. The Niagara won, crossing the finish line at 2:20:52. The Eucharis finished at 2:25:50, the Zinita at 2:53:18, and the Dakotah at 3:01:53. DEFENDER SHOWED WONDERFUD SPEED IN HER FIRST TRIAL WITH COLONIA. New.

York, July Defender had her first real trial yesterday. It proved, accordingto those saw it, that there need not be much apprehension in the mind of any patriotic American regarding the outcome of the cup races. Barring accidents, the America's cup is likely to remain where it belongs, fast though Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie may be. The Colonia was the Defender's trial horse. All yachtsmen know that Colonia is fleet enough to make any single-sticker afloat do her best, and yet the Defender left her behind a full half mile yesterday in a beat of five miles to windward in a twelve to fifteen knot breeze.

The trial yesterday afternoon in Narrangansett Bay In smooth water and a fairly fresh southwesterly breeze. A big fleet of steam and sailing craft witnessed it. Aboard the Defender, besides Captain Haft and crew, were W. K. Vanderbilt, E.

D. Morgan, W. Butler Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. Iselin, Mr.

and Mrs. Harry Lippit of Providence and Designer Herreshoff. The real race began at 1:03 when both boats tacked to starboard off the Prudence Island shore, with the Defender to windward. The Defender had but a trifle the best of it as they drew off shore. She tacked to port at 1:07 and the Colonia followed a moment later.

At 1:11 the new boat tacked to starboard the Colonia in her wake, and raced across the bay at a rattling gait. The Colonia was dropping astern very perceptibly. Nine minutes later the Defender went about, and in; this change was observed her wonderful quickness in stays. She took only fitteen seconds from full to full, while the Colonia took thirty. The beautiful new sloop rushed down the bay under a freshening breeze for nearly a quarter of an hour, her movement being described as easy, graceful and speedy She tacked to starboard at 1:32, and exactly three minutes later Colonia.

came about in the same place, just five miles from the starting point. Better proof of the Defender's superior1ty those aboard of her and those closely following the contest did not need. In the run of six miles before the wind to the starting point the Defender beat the Colonia two and a half minutes. It is not likely that the Defender will be taken out again before next Thursday.

Mr. and Mrs. William Houston went with a large party of their friends to Pawson park on a picnic on the Fourth. The picnic had long been looked forward to with pleasure, as Mrs. Houston is considered an accomplished leader by her many friends, and social affairs of her planning are always a success.

This party took the beautiful steamer Margaret with smiling faces and many lunch baskets, in spite of the main, in hopes the fates would be kind and let it clear up. But, alas! it rained all day and the party returned on the next boat, still smiling and patriotic, but grew a little discouraged as they landed and viewed the lowering skies and dripping umbrellas. But their dejected countenances brightened when Mrs. C. H.

Hendrickson invited them to adJourn to her residence, 50 Pine street, and spend the afternoon and evening. The party joyfully accepted and rode from the boat to her house, emptied their lunch baskets, from which Mrs. Hendrickson spread a magnificent collation and added her far famed coffee, to which the whole company did ample Justice.
