Clark, S. Bettle and P. E. Erewster Yesterday Afternoon. Philadelphia won the cricket match con cluded yesterday, nt Nicotown, with New York by five wickets, and it was a well earned victory.

gained by the superb batting of E. VY. Clark, 8, Bcttlo and F. E. Brewster.

The home representatives showed what they could do in thoir second innings with the bat and clearly proved that the batting of the first day's pluy was not up to their merits. If thoy had mado the same display in their first as they did in their second innings with both bat and ball they would have won much more easily At tho second attempt of the Yorkers Clark nnd MaeNutt bowled with good judgment and tho Holding greatly improved. In reality tho visitors should have miwlo but a few more than one hundred. Umpire Lane gave Cleverly in on a palpable cntch by Morgan, with one of the rankest decisions seen on iiuncket Held in Phila delphia for years. It was accepted quietly, its is the rule in cricket, but it might have lost the match.

Taking everything into consideration it was a most enjoyable game and tends to prove that Philadelphia stands at tho tep of tho heap in cricket on this side of the water. ANALYSIS OF THE CLOD PLAVINO Of the four home clubs which furnished rep resentntlvos for tho team the Young America Club litis the best record. It: had fouu players, who intido 165 runs for the loss of six wickets, nn average of 27. 5d. The Bolmout Club had one man, who made 22.

(iermantown men bowled lzo bnl for 55 runs and 2 wickets, an averago of 27.50 runs to tho wicket.

The Morion men bowled 95 balls for 57 runs and 1 wicket, an average of 57 runs to the wicket. The New Yorkers scored from tho but 302 runs for 20 wickets, an average of lu.10 runs to the wicket, the Pliiladolr.tiian: scored 297 runs from the bat for 15 wickets, an average of runs to the wicket, iol single wide was bowled by either side. The biggest stand was made bv Clark and liettle for Philadelphia with 52 runs and Tyers and Butler for New York with 14 runs. Clark missed tho only catch and made the biggest hit, a six drive off of Tool, out of the grounds. new vork's second attempt.

When the game was resumed in tho morning New York had 30 runs to tho good in their second inning, which was increased to 44 beforo a wicket foil. Then they began to go out rapidly until eight wero out for 90 runs. The tenth fell for 107, after which Cleverly nnd Tool pulled the score up to 130, thanks to Lane's orronoous de cision. With 170 to make to win Captain Law delegated Brewster and young Patterson to set a good example. Both batsmen played steadily, but hit hard when the occasion otfered.

Cleverly, at 29, made a brilliant catch lrom Patterson. joule sue ceeded, and, with Brewster, completely mastered tho bowling. or an even hour they kept at tho wicket, until Brewster was finally bowled for a well made 32, consisting of two 4s, two 3s, four 2s and singles. Two wore now out for 72 runs. a winning score.

Jlorgnn joined Bottle and was just getting into good shape when he allowed nnnseii to bo run out tnrougn watching the ball instead of his partner. Although the score had reached 97 the spectators began to become a trine nervous, and when Noble was caught out for only three runs it was thought the tide had Degun to turn. CLARK'S P.niLLIANT HITTING. Clark oftmo next and after fin over or two of careful play started in to run getting. He mado three 4 hits in short order and then sottlcd down until he had reached 20, then opening out secured a throo and three 4s in quick succes sion.

In the mcantimo Bottle had been ploying with great care, making nn occasional hit. When 159 was reached ho lost his stumps to Tyers for a great innings of 45. Bottle was at the bat for over two hours and was a fine display of batting ability. Seventeen runs were now needed to win and MacNutt partnered Clark. The latter set about at once to end tho game.

First he drove a ball from Tyers for 3 and added a single in the next over. Pool started tho next to the hist over. Clark drovo his second ball to tho on for 4, and then putting a lot, of beef into it sent his fourth way clean over the tence ror nmul great cheering and applause MacNutt sent the first ball he received from Tyers to tho fence for 4 and tho game was won.

An enormous amount of shipping was destroyed and many lives were lost. At Old Perlicau all the fishing Stages and other water side property were destroyed and upwards of forty vessels were totally wrecked. Two schooners only rode out the gale successfully. At Grate's Cove the loss of property is said to have been considerable. Wreckage has drifted ashore, evidently of two schooners.

One of the pieces of wreckage has stanchions and round house on It painted blue. Part of a name hoard has been picked up palmed black. Three letters "Com painted while, are on it. The other wreckage is evidently that of a schooner of about forty tons. It consists of broken spars and part of a new deck frame and timbers.

A second name board has been picked up, having upon it the name "Spring Bird." A vessel loaded with provisions, bound from Catalina for Twilllngate, and two other schooners wero lost Three vessels at Little Catalina wero drivoti from their moorings to sea. At Bird Island Cove three vessels and many small boats went ashore, and many fishing sloops were destroyed. Eight vessels went ashore at Brown's Cove, and everything was swept away. Two Bohooners aro ashore at Plate Cove and at ltouavista five schooners vro totally lost and a great many stages and fishing Jacks are also gone. The beach is filled with drift timber.

The ship Crislabel, laden witli salt at lionavista, drifted near to the rocks nnd was in groat peril and tho crew cut her masts away. One of the crew wns drowned. The rest were taken oft tho hull on Monday. Seventy five vessels, large and small, were driven ashore at Honavlstaand some of them were smashed. Largo numbers of traps were lost.

Sionio were saved, but rendered useless. All but four of the stages wero swept away. At Cupids the loss and damage are very serious and some persons consider themselves ruined. The schooners Annie Thornton, Triton, Goodwill, Susio A. and Susan, with thoir outfits, booniue total wrecks.

The Bchoouors Caleb Corkuni, Mary and otliers in tho neighborhood went ashore and are moro or less damaged, and some are too ieuky to proceed without being docked. Tho schooners F.xpert aud Margaret Anu were totally lost at Clianpel Cove. Tho schoonors Lady Hall and Kate praeklin, which lott Brigus on Friday, are supposed to havo gone lo sua or to Catalina. Owing to the wires being badly damaged Hie lattor point has not txien heard from. Th" schooner First Fruit, bound from St.

Johns for Twilliliate. with a cargo of provisions, was lost at Catalina. Her cargo, considerably damaged, was recovered. Tlie schooner blanche became a total wreck ut Farewell, near I'ilds. Tho schooner Wild Kover was lost: at White Point straits.

Hho was hound from St. Johns for Twllliugate.

The captain's son and another man, viio wei'o on board, were rescued by a bout's crew from tear's Cove. The rJniina was loaded with orovisions for Labrador, which have been nearly all landed in a i damaged condition.

Four fishing schooners at Holy rood, two at fianel Cove nnd two at Harbor Main became toUil wrecks. Si of tboni wore fitted out for the summer ilshing and were prepared to start immediately. This storm is considered to be the worst that has visited Newfoundland in forty years. Tho fact that most of the vessels lost wore loaded with supplies fur the fisheries is probably tlie worst feature of the disasters. It is rumored that throe bait skiffs, each with six men on board, left llolyrood on Saturday and have not since been beard of.

Loystown, on the line of Uie Pittsburg ami Lake I'rie liaiiroad, twenty four miles from Uuj city, was tlie sco no this morning of a terrible tragedy R. McKco, a well known resident, shooting his wife and thon Jt appears that MoKee attended a picuie yesterday, to which hor liuaband olijoctod. On the ground she was neon in the company of a voll kuown I'ittim: and LaKo Frie pa.ssen?er coiulurtor, who had stopped 01T for tho tonic. When Mrs. McKee reuirned homo she and hor husband had adihiculiy and, as one of the neighbors suites, IcKee drovo bid wifo out of tho Louse.

She returned for tup nitrhi, but this morning at an early bour tlie flht was resumed. There was no eye witnoss to the bloody affair, but evidence as prodontcd by the scene shows that tho two woro in the wash house, a niaU building within a atop of the back porch. At 8. 'i0 IWrs. McKco went to the outbuilding, followed by her husband.

Tbore he drew a foriy four enlibro revolver and shot nig wile, the ball entering her left temple and lodging in the brain. She dropped on the spot and in her fall struck the side of tho building, breaking her nose. McKeo put tho revclver to iU left eye and firod. lie foil within a few feet of his wifo, but after a few minutes he struggled to his feet, staggered to Ute houf 0 and fell gasping on iho porch. irH.

McKeo lived for nearly two hours, but did not regain consciousness. When tbe neighbors arrived on the spot the sceno was ono calculated to move tho most stolid observer. On tho porch, overhung by creeping vii.c and blooming Rowers, lay the murderer, unconscious but still breathing heavily.

IJlood wan ou iho porch and along tho walk, a grom pixl iu tho house surrounded tho body of the woman and another showed where tho murderor had llrst fallen. The body of McK'oo, attired in a calico wrapper, lay in the wash house. From tho left tempi mil iho blood and tlie face was discolored and dishgurod by the wound received iu falling. None had ventured to toii di either body, but a kindly hand had thrown a sheet over that of tlie woman. Tho revolver lay just whero it had beu dropped from MeKoe's band, as tho neighbors who gathered around seemed to shrink from everything counocted with tho occurrence.

McKee was iu his Miirt sleeves and on fulling the lat time he graspod the bosom of his Hhlrt with both hands, tearing it open in his instinctive s'rupgle for breath. Airs. MeKee has always onjoyed the respect and esteem of her neighbors, and her husband's sur pieions arc believed to be unfounded. McKeo himself also bore the reputation of being a eolK industrious man, with no bad habits. In winter he was a pilot, but in summer he occupied bis time buying and soiling country produce, lie was between forty and forly flve years old.

Tho annual statement of the Post Office Department of the adjustment of Balariesof tho Presidential postmasters is of uuusual interest.

This Is the first statement made since the two cent postage has been in operation for the four quarters of the fiscal year. Tho last report covered six months under the old three ceut law and six under the two cent law, and oonseuuently did not offer a fair basis of calculation with reference to the results of the change. This year, however, is a fair tost of the decrease under the two cent law, and this falling off is not so radical or extended as was a year or two ago anticipated. There aro 134 Presidential offices relegated to the fourth class out of 2,353 post oftlcos. Of the latter number 71 are lirst class offices, 3S2 Bocond class, 1,7116 third class.

BISMARCK'S EXCEPTIONAL LAWS An Interesting Letter, Which Corrects Soni8 Popular Misapprehensions. Bm ial Correal oudeuee of The Times. Heihelbero, June 11. It ia most entertninlng to road here in Germany, vhre Sooiulism is more highly developed thim anywhere else in the world, tho lucubra tions of" our brothers of tho press in America upon tho subject. First of nil come the fragmentary telegrams, with headings such as (Socialists Unearthed" und kindred astonishing tidings, which are in so far amusing, as the one effort of the Socialists in America, England, Fiance and Switzerland in short, wherever they are not under polico rule, is to make their principles known by public agitation, so that Buch a heading is very much as if one should read Temperance Agitators Discovered in Ohio or Woman Suffragists Come to Light in Massachusetts." The principal difference, of course, is that the Socialists, being mainly Germans, are greatly hindered in their efforts to gain publicity for their teachings by tho fact of their different languagoand the deeply rooted belief of the American population that America is so far removed from ail things European that teachings, truo perhaps in Germany, are no concern of ours.

In Germany tho ease is different. Hero the Pocialists are in a most extraordinary position. The Constitution of the Empire guarantees universal suffrage and being a Socialist does not deprive a man of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. So Socialists can vote and havo used their right so vigorously that six hundred thousand of them elected twenty live representatives to tho lteichstag. or Imperial Parliament, last October to remain three years.

ANTI SOCIALIST LAWS. But here their rights como to an abrupt end. By the exceptional laws they are forbidden to agitate for their principle!) and their candidates. That is to say, they must notify the police of every meeting which they proposo to hold and at least one policeman must bo present, who is invested with power to close the meeting at discretion, and usually uses this discretion at the beginning when the first speaker is being introduced. This nioii'ies the rath of the audience, which occasionally maltreats the police and so affords nn opportunity for the arrest of any Socialists whom the supplementary police, always called upon under such circumstances, may think it desirable to remove from active life for a time, quite irrespective of the question whether the person arrested had anything to do with the disturbance, or not.

Another favorite device of the polico is the banishment of persons present in Socialist meetings, a process also made possible by the exceptional lawr. Thus, for instance, Herr Ewald, of Berlin, a member of the Municipal Council, presided at a meeting which was closed in this way during tlie autumn; tho audience was exasperated and the police in danger of their iives. Trustworthy witnesses aflirm that Hon Ewald's personal efforts alone saved tho highest otlicor present from being severely beaten. But all the same. Herr Kwald received notico tho next day to leave Berlin within six hours.

This interval was afterwurds lengthened to twenty four hours, at the end of which time this unfortunate member of the Municipal Council of tho capital city of the great and united Gorman Empire was forced to say adieu to his wife and live or six children, whom he left in very straitened cir enmstance.s, and shake the dust of Berlin from his feet. Should he return without leave he would bo imprisoned for a term of years. Meanwhile rrolessor Virchow and some other of lferr Ewald's colleagues of tho Municipal Council have boon interpellating the Attorney General as to whether Herr Ewald's election is void and his place forfeited and have received the extra ordinary answer that so long as he cares to leave his family iu Berlin his domicile is there and his merely being banished does not interfere with his holding office. Thus it will be seen that these laws answer to their name and are in more sense than one "exceptional. POWERS OF THE POLICE.

Under these same laws tho police may search any person or house for Socialist literature and on finding two copies of any work or pamphlet or organ may arrest the owner on the presumption of carrying on secret agitation. But a single copy it is necessary to allow, because it happens that su books as Marx's Capital" and hugels' Condition of the English Working Class in England and Lassalle's Indirect Taxation are among the classical works of German political economy and are recommended to students and elaborately discussed by professors of social science iu all the great German uni versities, ami to forbid thorn entirely would be to follow tlie Russian system of proclaiming ail science suspect and political economy treason. But no one must have two copies or lend his one copy Some timo ago a German workingman went to America, fell in with some of his own countrymen there, was converted by them to Socinlism and afterwards drifted back to Germany. He remained unmolested for a time until iiis Socialist activity attracted tho attention of the. police.

Hut he was not in one of the districts which are governed by the exceptional laws (Berlin, Eeip. sic and Hamburg and could there'. be neither banished nor imprisoned without further pretext. However, the police is fertile in expedients and promptly discovered that our German, who had meanwhile become an American citizen, had not served his full time in the nrmv. The American treaties afford no protection and our fellow citizen spent the next year in prison, iiis wife was fortunately a skilled dressmaker able to maintain herself.

"But if she had had six little children and no traite or bad health she would still have had no chance of poor relief, because in the caso of Socialist applicants the report is "undeserving," and the family left to the tender mercies of tho Socialist party, which maintains a permanent fund for the relief of the families of banished and Imprisoned members. In tho present case, however, our American citizen was subjected to a refinement of cruelty almost Incredible. He was permitted to see everyone who chose to call upon him except his wife. Her letters to him were roud anil usually di stioyed, and for a whole year she lived under the punishment of communicating with her husband through third persons only, though his nominal nlTonsc non service was political and not criminal. AHITATION UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

In view of the. political repressive measures tho German Socialists iu Germany havo their central organ published and their archives preserved in Zurich, Switzoihuid carry on their agitation by word of mouth, with merely occasional meetings; bind their books in eovers bearing titles wholly unrelated to tho contents, and find a secret joy In secretly running up the scarlet Socialist flag on a pole (afterwards carefully greased) in some conspicuous place on Bismarck's or the Emperor's birthday, since a scarlet flag or even a Scarlet carnation In workingman's possession makes him suspect. In France, England, Switzerland, America, on the other hand, the police has nothing to do with tho Socialists as such, and tho Socialists' one desire is publicity. It is therefore most on tertniiilng to read the laments of the Socialists (in their own organs) over the difficulties of catching the public ear, and to find in tho ordinary newspapers of thn same date a half dozen reporters relating how they had been "cute" enough to find out something about the Socialists and Socialism. The causn of this misapprehension is clear enough.

Since the days of Owen and Fourier, of Brook Farm, and the hundreds of communities now scarcely remembered, and since Chartism became a thing of the past, there has been almost no Socialist agitation among tho English speaking peoples. All the modern literature of Socialism, with some half dozen exceptions, is of Gorman origin, known In England and America through translations only, and usually through translations into the French, it is therefore dillleult for Americans to learn what the Socialists are really trying to do. and tho frantic doings of Herr Most and his followers come very naturally to be regarded as manifestations of Socialism, whereas Herr Most was drummed out of thn party in Germany years ago and is quite as vehement In his onslaughts upon Socialists and Socialism as in his tirades against society in general. CTIUiEXT MTOATURE. There Is now, however, a sort of epidemic of translation and popularization of tho modern Gorman works upon tho subject.

The first translation, now Just isMiod, Is a work upon Woman in tho Tast, Present and Future," by August bel, who has been for sixteen yeais a repro of the Socialist parly in tho itolehstng. This book has passed through three 01. four German editions and 1ms now been translated by J)r. Adams Walther, woman graduate of 01,0 of the Swiss universities. II, is extremely clear and popular I11 style and real incut of the subject, unci gives a good Idea, of what the Socialists are really trying to do.

When dinner yas announced yesterday afternoon nt tlie Forrest Home, at Spring Urook, near Jlolmesbarg, the little family of aged actors and actresses took their seats at tho table and chatted witli one another like a party of tourists at a country hotel. Five old ladies and four old gentlemen, Superintendent Wilson and his wifo and daughter composed the gathering.

It was a very happy, jolly dinner. Everybody had something pleasant to say and it was plain that tho home was brighter and livolier than it was a few years ago, wlion there wits less concord and fewer in tlie family. Superintendent Wilson announced that the breast of veul he was carving was a. part of the calf which his family of old folks had seen day after day gamboling in the meadow, and one facetious member of the party asked if the fatted calf hud been killed in honor of some prodigal's return. Many little anecdotes of stage life slipped into the conversation and the old people seemed glad to burnish up their memories of days when they trod the boards where they wero local favorites.

Booth, Davenport, For rost, Hliea, Mary Anderson and many other names were mentioned in the talk. After din net the men wandered through the big halls and through the parlors into tho libraries. IN THE I.IMUKIEH. Tliey lounged about, in easy chairs und read the nuwspapors or magazines, while one old gentleman with a portly form and a kindly face, a Mr. Hinith, who was for years a great favorite at the Boston Museum, looked out of the windows into tho park, where red breasted robins sang and playful chipmunks played at tag in the branches of tlie trees and raced each other about under tlie drooping Norman pines hat shaded the well kept walks and.

drives. There aro a down book eases in the two libraries, filled with eight thousand volumes. Tables were piled with rare volumes of engravings that bear uo date of publication. In tho rear library, iu two glass cases with ebony frames Iniug tho wall, are the jeweled stage swonU, short swords, foils and daggers, as bright as when, lliey glittered ou the stage iu JEdwin Forrest's hands. A rich rug covers tho centre of the stained floor and a Persian cloth covets tho iiiUkpie tabic, on which there lavnliible.

Looking out into tlie larger library on the top of one of tho book cases is a bust of Forrest. MEMENTOES OF FORI! EST. At tho front entrance to the mansion in the hallway on tho left is a marble bust of Forrest, and further back stands Ball's life size statue in marble of the tragedian in the character of Corio lo.uus. Forrest's stage armor, half hidden behind a screen covered with mythological characters, stands close to the statue. In a frame on the opposite side of tho big, old fashioned hall is a play hill dated in 1852 announcing the fiftieth consecutive performance of tho distinguished tragedian, Edwin Forrest, in his well known character of Ol'uilo at the old York Broadway Theatre.

Ovor tho lear door ot the hall hangs an old frame, containing these words, rudely painted mtmv years ago: "Mr. Hlieridan will speak after the poll." In the front parlor over ono of the pianos hangs a hugo oil painting of the "Dying Gladiator," with his head resting on a bune'h of straw, the audience out of sight of his suflf. ring. Hanging over the mantelpiece in the hack parlor is a life size oil portrait of Louis Napoleon, nnd across the room over another piano is an oil portrait of Edwin Forrest's mother. On the left is a portrait of Joseph Jefferson's grandfather, and to tho right hangs a portrait of Pntrh Henry.

A profusion of pictures cover tho walls, including Jorrest in his most famous characters. In tho patlors massivo old ehuirs, covered witli antique carvings, aro scattered about, and candelabra, with wax candles that havo never been lighted, sit on brackets about the walls. CHIEF WOOIIKE'S SCALI. In the sitting room in tho second story a picture of William burton as 7of .) hangs on the east wall, and opposite it, dangling from a picture nail, is an Indian's sealp, with tho long, black, course hair falling on the wall. On tho inside of the dried scalp is written in ink Scalp of Chief wooiieh.

Each of the aged theatrical family have large, light, airy bed rooms and tho old. grny haired men and women who passed most of thoir lives on the stage walk about quiet and content, still actors and actresses, having lost little or none of tho courteous manner or the intonation that belongs to the histrionic art. They walk about the grounds at their will and to all appearances have all that an old heart could wish for to make their remaining days full of peaceful scones and quiet contentment. Thero are twenty acres of a beautiful park attached to the Home, while the ninety odd ueres of tho farm are rented out bv tho litmrd of Managers.

Only one of tho old folks at the Home supported Forrest. His name is Thoman. Hinee the Homo was opened, on the 1st of October, 1H7H, there have been live deaths. sanuuine old geokoe George G. Spear, an old actor, whose stage life was mostly spent in Boston as a low comedian, is a bedridden inmate of the homo.

Ho has not loft his bed sinco the 10th of October, 1H83. He is a tall, thin old man and does not scorn to mind the slow flight of timo. He tells Superintendent Wilson that ho will outlive all the others. Before he took to his bed he wits a secretive inmate and kept to himself all the time. For hours at a timo he would sit in ono position and, looking out over tho stretch of laud at the back of the house, wlmro it was his custom to sit, ho would laugh heartily at short intervals.

When anyone would approach he would get up and walk away, seeking seclusion somewhere else. The home Is doing well under Superintendent Wilson's care and Is more of a success nt tho present time than it has ever been. Superintendent Wilson said that tho theatrical profession were welcome at any time, while the general public are admitted on Tuesdays and Fridays. Thero is much to see that is worth seeing, especially at this season, when the surroundings are clothed in their summer raiment.

When tho press boat Manhansott reached tho head of tlie courso Columbia aud Harvard woro in position, and at 5.40 tho word was given and an oven start was hud. Harvard took tho water first and struck out with 34 strokes a minute, Columbia rowing 38. Harvard took the lead almost instantly and gradually increased it to tho iinish. At the half milo stake Harvard led by two lengths and was rowing in lino form, Columbia rowing equally well, but lacking the propelling power. At the mile stake the lead was in creased a length Harvard dropped her stroko to 84 and Columbia rose to 40.

Harvard was fully six lengths ahead at tho mile and a half stake. She was rowing tiie samo 34 strong, steady stroke, while Columbia had dropped to 34. EASILY WON BY HARVARD, The race was virtually over at the two mile flag, yet Columbiajmlicd pluekilyand tried hard to decroaso the lead, but without, avail. Tho Columbia coxswain shouted at every stroke and encouraged the struggling Columbians the will, determination and skill were thete, but the most essential of all strength was lacking. Hur vard made the two miles in 11 minutes 44 seconds, Columbia being a full minute behind.

Harvard looked back on her competitors and made a spurt with 42 strokes a minute. Encouraging cheers from Columbia's launches put new life into tlie losing crow and they raised their stroke to 40, but they could not keep it up. The breach was widened and at the 2 milo flag Harvard was a clear quarter mile in tho lead. Columbia covered tins three miles in 19 minutes, 53 seconds. Harvard was away down tho course, rowing 30 strokes to Columbia's 37.

Harvard was saluted by steamers at tho finish, when Columbia was pacing the three miles and a.half sinkes. Official time was: Harvard, 24 minutes 27 seconds; the Columbia. 2() minutes 22 seconds.

Tho Coining ftcgatta at New London College Hoatlng fn the Past. Special Dispatch to The Times. New Haven, June 20. No college boat race since the famous Saratoga regatta of 187." has excited such general interest as the coming contests at Now Loudon. These raco3 include besides to day's Harvard Columbia race the Harvard Col nmbia fn hhman race and the Yale Harvurd race on June 2U.

All theso racos are for eiht oars ami for tho university boats tho course is four miles straightaway. Tho freshman course is two miles. Last year, under exceptionally favorable ciroumstances of wind and tide, Vale covered tho four miles in twenty minutes and thirty one seconds. The timo next host to this was mado by Harvard iu 1878. It Is hardly likely that the record of will be broken this year.

College boating began by a race botween Harvard and Yale in luter collegiate regattas were organized In and again in 1S00. In IS7J Harvard, Amherst, lirown and Bowdoin organized a race at Springfield, in which Amherst defeated Harvard. Vaie did not enter this eonttst, aud this is the only yoar since that Yale and Harvard havo not met on Use water. The year of IK, 4, in which Yale fouled Harvard at Saratoga, almost put a top to further rowing between those colleges. The races were resumed, however, tho next year nnd Harvard triumphed.

In IHIti Yale was the victor, and since that time Yale has won tnreo times to Harvard's live. These races between Harvard and Yale have really been tho source of all college boating. Tho smaller colleges have depended on them lor inspiration. A great change has taken place in tho kind of boats used for racing. Those formerly in use were heavy, awkward structures, fatal to any great speed.

Harvard's first race boat was a clumsiiy built affair, thiriy seven feet long aud three and one half wide, a de. ided contrast to tho graceful siielln of lo iny, sixty feet long and twont.v tdx inches wide. In lK.i Yaie introduced wooden outriggers and spoon oars came into use about the samo timo. It was some time before rudders were ued, tho steering being accomplish by tho oars, alo introduced sliding seats in 1H70. Harvard at that time was using a greased soat.

eighteen inches long, which the body siid forward and hark. Siney iH' i no great changes have been made in the boats. Yale's boat in isvi whs MXly sevon feet long and tho mon wore buuehed in twos, with roOrcneo to a peculiar stroko, which was soon discarded. The eight oared shells now used aro of paper or cedar. Paper is lighter than edar and retains lis sinpe bettor, hut is more easily damaged.

All kinds ot strokes have been used, from tho short choppy stroke of PSti 'J to the present long, eaay swing. Forty four strokes per minute is now considered high, but In those days a spurt usually took sixtv lo the minute. Tho crows no longer eat raw beef and more intelligent care is given to physique and DEMPSEY'S HARD LUCK. two Accidents Lose II nn a Itace on the Schnylklll and S200. A single scull race for $200 a tide was rowed on tho Schuylkill yesterday afternoon botween John A.

Dempsey and P. A. Holt The course three mllos straightaway, from the Chestnut street bridge a point below (Jtlberts (iardens, where a stake boat was anchored. The steamer Latayette, on board of which were tho Judges, timekeepers and reforees, after taking on a largo number of pas Bengers at the CallowhlH street bridge proceeded to tho Chostnut street wharf, whero the start was made at six o'clock. At the report of the pistol shot which sent the men away, ftempsey took tho lead, rowing with a quick, sweeping stroke that soon put a boaVs length of water between himself aud Holt At the railroad bridge he had increased his load to four lengths and his friends were confident of his winning the race.

As he nearod Gray's Ferry wharf a mishap occurred which turned thefortuuos of the match to tho favor of his competitor. Dompsoy rowed swiftly withoat looking ahead and despite tho shouts and warnings of his frionds on the Lafayette pulled straight for the wharf, which jutieil out in the stream. Within live yards of tho structure he was induced by tho commotion on tho boat to turn his head and stopped his shell just in time to prevent its demolition on tin? piirged piles oi' tlie wharf. He stopped rowing, while Holt, with a spurt, took advantage of bis predicament n'id rowed past Hempsoy, without a sign of excitement, waited for him to pans so that he could resume the rac. By the time impsoy wan well under way Holt led him by three lengths.

Just beforo reaching Oilbert'rt Gardens Dempsey had cut down the distance by some masterly rowing, but niibtorUine again overtook him, as he caught a crab and nearly upset, running bin shell almost to tlie bank. Tho distance to the finish was then Vo short to admit of a coldest, and Holt paused the take boat a length and a half ahead. Tho steamer Lafayette, on which were tho officials of the race, was even more unfortunate than tho rtefeated oarsman. Coming through the draw of th Soir.h street bridge Hho was truek a glancing blew by the police boat Samuel ti. King, which followed the race, having on board the Mayor's private secretary, Howard March, and a party of young men.

The police boat kept with the oarsmen to the lliiinh, but the Ijifayotte went ashore south of thobi idgu and lost some time in gating off. As the rower wero mere speck In the dwtancooverybodyon board tho Lafayette crowded to tho bows and, tho steamer losing her steering way ran high and dry ashorn Into an old wharf, scalier! ntf iho umbers right and left There she lay until half an hour alter, when passing tug pulled hor olT.

John Roach to Do Hotter on the Cruisers. Washington, Juno 20. Tho Slur of this aftornoon says In view of tho many dofeets iu tho Dolphin as reported by tho Kxnmlning Board, the question arises whether the three cruisers the Boston, AUaiila and Chicago which are now In courso of construction by John Roach, will bo open to similar criticism. It Is the opinion araong naval officers that these will prove to bo good vessels In every sense of the wont As a reason for this opinion it is stated that tho Advisory Board wore much better qualified to design a cruiser than a dispatch boat and that there will be but little, If any, fault to And with the designs of tho cruisers, if thorearoany defects In the construction of the vessels it is thought that Roach will havo ample time to remedy thorn and will take advantage of tho erUlcims on the Dolphin to prevent any similar ones being made when the vessels are completed.

One of the chief defects in the Dolphin, unreported by the F.xaminiug Board, was a lack of sufficient bracing of her machinery. Such a dofect can readily bo avoided, it is said, in the other vessels. Sued for Importing Foreign Labor. Special Dispatch to Tub Tijiks. New York, June 20.
