They will be back with the rest tomorrow even- ing, though, and then they will do their best to make up for lost time. ARRIVAL OF THE BAXcBO¥T. Yesterday morning the Bancroft, the new practice ship for the middies at the Naval Academy, reached hore from New York and Passed the fleet down the bay. She is named after the iate George Bancroft, the historian, who, when Secretary of the Navy, showed so much interest in the matter of the education of naval officers and did so much for the academy at Annapolis. She came in about 9:30 and anchored a short distance west of the jgnaied for permission to anchor by Admiral Gherardi to take two or three turns ubout the Philadelphi before letting go. Sho made three complete circies, which were watched with great interest by tho admiral and stoff and by all the sailors on board the larger ship. HORSE JOCKEYS AT SCHOOL. Commencement Exercises Heli at the Gut- tenburg Race Track. The North Bergen track was in a blaze of glory last night, according to the York World. It was a veritable red-letter night for the jocks and stable boys.

Carr, J. N. Cruisius, Dennis McLaughlin, G. Walbaum and Judge Burke of the executive committee, the founders and sup- porters of the school. The school was started some time ago, and the bovs have attended regularly. Dr. Helfer thought there was not a more ca- | ble instructor and principal in the state than rof.

"A Splendid Exhibition by De Oro and Sher. man at the C. A. Club. What one did not know about pool was easily discovered Inst night at the poo! exhibition be- ‘tween Aifred De Oro, the world’s champion, and Frank Sherman of this city, who finished « | close recond to him at the Syracuse tourna- | ment. Apparently impossible shots were pic! out and made with ease. Difieuit banks, pretty i ad kiss shots were played to the ght of the enthus.astic audience which wit- nessed the performance. The table had been set up in the gymnasium of the Columbia Ati- letic Club, whose billiard and pool rooms Sher- man has charge of. The sests about the table were arranged in banks and with seats on the running track above every spectator had an ex- celient view of each shot. Naturaliy the crowd was with the local player, but it was not a partisan one, and De Oro won the admiration and veceived the hearty plaudits of all by bis clear-cut style and pre- cision of play. He payed with appuzent conti- dence. and after taking the lead in the thir- teenth frame he steadily forged ahead, win- ni | 142° Sherman started out in good style, having | $9 in the twelfth frame, when his opponent stood | at 77, but at that point he was unfortunate in | the way the balls rolied for him. and in his break on the next frame De Oro pocketed the one bali in sight, at the same time placing him- self for a combination which scattered the bunch, after which he holed all fifteen. From this point the Caban played a wonderful game, clearing all fifteen balls three times in succes- sion after Sherman had broken. ‘fais gave him a clear lead and confidence in his play, which did not desert him. Sherman did not at any time lore his nerve or become dishenrtened. He played steadily and well throughout, pick- ing up at the very cloce by going in three frames from 111 to 143. In the next frame he | made a serateh, which brought his score down | to 142. | During the exhibition De Oro cleared the | table of ail the balls five times, while Sherma: accomplished this feat but once. De Oro's re- | markabis control over the cue ball ‘was sppar- | lent. He was almost certain to bring himself | into correct position and he never shot without | being able to tell what ball be would play next. | His ability to see al! kinds of combinations in | the bunched bslis was surprising. De Oro | made six scratches, while his opponent was | credited with seven. | __‘The players were introduced by Mr. Harry ‘ing and were heartily received. ‘The scorers were J. R. Elder and jViliam Willis. E. B. Fox acted as counter and A. W. Hodgkins as referee. Play began at nd it was nearly 31 o'clock when De Oro pocketed his last ball. One of Sherman's shots made during the gume was a beauty. It gay a four cushion bank com- bination. After the game both De Oro and Sherman gave a surprising exhibition of fancy shots. ‘The former closed with a shot in which he placed six balis in the middle of the table in the form of the letter X.and by one stroke of the cue ball drove each bail into a different pocket. On Friday and Saturday Sherman and De | Oro will give exhibition pool matches in Palt } | more. The score by frames of las: evening's | contest was as follows De Oro—2 79268 111570133 151515 9 15 4 15 13 5 5 2 10—200: scratches, 6.

The Boating University Will Look to the ‘West for Competitors. ‘A mass meeting of Cornell students was held | on the university campus yesterday afternoon d was largely attended. The object of the | meeting was to decide the fate of this year's | freshmen crew as to whether it should be con- | tinued in training or not. The most intense in- terest was shown as to the result of the meet- ing, as it was felt that the future of Cornell on the water would practically be decided. | Without a fresl:men crew to feed the ‘varsity | the superiority of Cornell on the water would | soon end. This is painfully illustrated by the fact that of the eight mon in the ‘varsity boat five are of last year's freshmen crew. The meeting was called to order by Commo- dore Hagerman, who made a short speech in favor of continuing the crew. He then intro- duced President Schurman, who made astirring address, calling upon the class of '96 to foliow im the’ footeteps of the preceding freshmen classes and turn out a crew which would be not only the means of winning honor for thei class, but in following years for their alma | mater, He spoke of the fact that Cornell would now probably never row Yale and Harvard, and ad- vised that they think no more about them, but to look to the western colleges for crews to row, intimating that in a few years crews would not be lacking to row against. | pile freshmen erew will continue at work. ‘The result of the meeting has been to give new | courage and ambition to the men now hard in training. The ‘varsity crew will be the fastest ever turned out by Cornell, and if Yale and Harvard will not row their time will be beaten and they ‘thus will be virtually defeated.

Three hundred miners engaged in the strike perpetrated much wanton damage at Quareg- | non, in the province of Hainaught, Belgium, | yesterday.

There were many men working in the pit, wo had refused to jom the | strikers, and the ' mob’s efforts were directed | sgainst them as much as against the owners of | the pit. All sorts of rubbish, old boards, stones and dirt were thrown into the shaft, the intention of the strikers being to imprison the | mem in the mine. ‘The pit officers were help- Jess to contend against the mob and assistance | was asked from the gendarmes. Before the | officers arrived at the pit considerable damage had been done. The mob was on the point of | attacking another pit when the gendarmes ar- | rived. ‘The latter at onte ordered the rioters to dispe=se and upon their refusal to do so at- | tacked them with the flat sides of their swords, The strikers finally dispersed, fearing that if | they resisted the gendarmes would resort to the keen edge Otto Eekholt, an anarchist, has confessed to hav: ‘dynamite bombe under F.

In mang cases they have had few or no chances to meet since they graduated, and | old friendships are renewed and new ones made | that serve to make still stronger the bond of union that binds together the members of the same branch of the service.
