PREPARING FOR THE GREAT EVENT The Yale-Harvard ‘Varsity Contest This Afternoon, SCENES ON THE THAMES NEW LONDON, Conn., June 28.—The day |of the great Harvard-Yale ‘varsity boat | race, and as it happens of the freshman | Face, dawned hot and cloudy, the sun being hidden behind the canopy of fleecy clouds that overspread nearly the entire sky. It was 5 o’clock when the first signs of life began to manifest themselves, but it was not until 6 that the people came upon the streets and the town began to take on an appearance of existence. The first stir was at the hotels, where breakfast had been prepared for a few favored mortals at 6 o’clock. Admission to the dining room was strictly by written pass, however, and the unlucky wight who had forgotten to give notice the night before was not admitted under any circumstances. Most of those at the early tables were newspaper men, who are here in great enough numbers to form quite an element of the population. The New Londoner does not rise at any such hour. Toward 7 o'clock the guests who came down to see the ruce and who are visiting relatives and friends began to wake up and realize that the great day of the year was upon them. The sweet girls who were to cheer the crews on to victory and defeat rubbed their sleepy eyes and began to think with thrills of pleasurable excitement of what jolly times they were going to have and of | how dreadfully tired they would be before the day was over. The college boys in the | town, who were almost as much excited over the coming contests, also awoke and began to try to arouse their hosts. But their efforts were not very successful. The average New Londoner {s not easily excited. H@ has seen these boat races for | sixteen years now, and he considers them “rather a bore, don’t you know.” He never dreams of such a thing as get- ting up early and appearing on the street in gala attire. All the elements that go to make up race day here, whether they are badges, colors, yachts, girls or enthusiasm, are mostly imported. Little Betting Done. If there were any betting enthusiasts in this city this morning they were hiding their lights under large and conspicuous bushels. The lobby of the Crocker House, the usual headquarters for those who wish to risk their money either for patriotic or mercenary considerations, was almost de- serted as early es nine o'clock last night, and so far as could be Jearned not a single bet was made there during the afternoon or evening, and the same holds true this morn- ing. Yesterday forenoon one bet of $100 to $75 in favor of Yale was made, but this was the only public straw to show which way | the wind blew, or whether there was any | wind at all. For several days it has been rumored that some enthusiastic Yale men wished to bet $100 to $50 in favor of his college, but when the quiet but observant who knows some- thing of the Harvard crew put money in their purse and announced that they were quite willing to take any quantity of the bets at the rate of 2 to 1 the Yale men dis- | appeared, and so far as can be learned no more wagers at this rate have been offered. Very little betting has been done in con- ion with the freshmen race, in which Harvard, Yale and Columbia are to com- pete. That little seemed to favor even be- tween Yale and Columbia and light odds as against Harvard. The Mor: = Scenes Up the River. When the colored boys who wake the crews went on their rounds at 5:45 o'clock this morning they announced to the sleepy boys that the water was smooth and the racing chances good. At this early hour scarf-lke clouds lay low on the latrel- flecked hills of the Thames and along the river the mists idled in the shadows walting for the dispelling sunshine. It was one of those mornings when chickens come late from the roosting places and make no early The rivey itself, after its white caps of yesterday, was ready to be still, and it was pulseless, save when some skirmishing breeze rounded ahead, or crept out from some gully and made arrow-like runs over the oily water. At 7 o’clock the lazy clouds had lifted, and, like half-inflated balloons, hung over the river and hills. Then where there was a shadow of hill, or rock, or tree, the water had the biack still- ness of woodland pools.

This breeze, at 8 o'clock, was clearly no skirm- jisher. It came straight up the river and \left a wrinkled trail. It seemed to have |come on purpose and possibly to increase. So it looked at 8 o'clock. The next hour, however, brought a slight change. The breeze from the southward, while still in- sistent, was more modest, and out from be- hind the head lands long reaches of black | still water cut into the ruMfing surface. The fears of another stiff breeze were al- layed at 9:20. The referees’ boat, Hel- vetia, steamed up and took away the fresh- ;men, timers and judges. The water was | then perfect and the conditions promising for @ clear racing day. IT WAS YALE’S RACE. The Freshman Aquatic Contest at New Lond NEW LONDON, June 28.—The triangular freshman two-mile boat race between Yale, Hervard and Columbia was rowed at 11:30 this morning, and resulted tn the triumph ;of Yale; Columbia, second; Harvard, third. | Yale's time 11:15. The postponement from | yesterday afternoon until this morning re- | sulted in quadrupling the attendance. From the water boat as broad as she is lcng to the finest specimens of the naval architects, the Thames river for two miles up was lined with every conceivable style | of craft that would float. Jt was a beauti- | ful sight, and as the oarsmen were being brought down to the starting line in their jaunch with their shell towing behind they | Were greeted with cheers from aboard the yachts. Columbia was the first to get into position, quickly followed by Yale. Har- yard was more of a laggard and kept the rest waiting for quite a while. It was 11:20 when they finally got into line and lay waiting for the word. A delay of some ten minutes occurred while the referee's boat ran up between | them, and more or le: place. It turned out that while it had been agreed that Yale should have the center ecurse with Harvard on the west and Co- ivmblia on the east, the boys got confused in taking position, and the boats were placed with Harvard in the center, Yale to the east and Columbia to the west. The colors, and their change of position caused great confusion to the spectators, nearly every one believing that Columbia had won. Just at 11:3) the signal was given. | Yale took the water first. ‘The Columbia oarsmen had climbed up to and passed Yale by about one-half a length at the half mile. In this manner they rowed for the next quarter of a mile, when the | Voice of young Clarke, the little coxswain of | Yale, was noticed to call for a trifle faster | stroke, and by the time the mile flag was | reached Yale and Columbia were having as | pretty a race as could have been desired, Columbia pulling 38, Yale 36 and Harvard 40. Passing the mile, Columbia was about a quarter of a length in advance of Yale,while the latter was giving her swash to Harvard fully two lengths in her rear. | | | | | | At the mile and a half Yale had gained! with a| the supremacy over Columbia, and, 36 stroke, had opened up a distance of pos- sibly ten feet. Yale continued to forge ahead, and at the finish had opened up the distance be- tween her rudder and Columbia's bow and won by two lengths. As soon as the boats had passed the steam launch Embla, the men were taken from their shells into launches and taken | up_to their quarters and rubbed down. | The official time, as given out by Referee discussion took | boats carried no flags or distinguishing | Cowles, is: Yale, 11:15; Columbia, 11:24; Harvard, 11:56. CREWS EARLY ASTIR. Movements of the Freshmen Before the Race. GALES FERRY, Conn., June 28.—Two oranges, one during the walk before break- fast, the other just before eating break- | fast, oatmeal and hominy, two raw eggs, steak and chops, and bread with cold j Water, but with @ plenty of everything, ecmposed the breakfast of the Harvard freshman crew on this last morning at the training tables, and this meai, with the exception of no fruit, was the same as { served at the Yale training quarters and to the Columbia crew, but at the two latter eggs, scrambled and bolled, were substi- tuted for the raw article, and milk was the drink. The men were called at the usual hour, 6:45, and took their morning walk before the sun had appeared with such heat as to take the day unbearable. The usual morn- ing rows were dispensed With, and after breakfast the freshmen crews had nothing to do but remain within hearing distance of the headquarters of their boat houses that they mignt at a moment's notice be summoned to board the launch and start for the big bridge down near New London. The eyes of ali the members of the crews, substitutes, heelers, waiters, chefs and the inhabitants of the villages along the Thames were turned toward the river as soon as the eyes could be made to remain open long enough to catch a glimpse of that sheet of water, and then everybody bounded from their beds, for the wind of last night was a thing of the past, and the Thames bore an unruffied surface. It was indeed a beau- trtul morning; hardly a breath of alr left over from the high winds of yesterday remaining behind to cool the rays of the sun, which early made itselr felt, and gave promise of doing its best to make the day more sweltering even than last Saturday. Sull the heat nas no terrors for the col- lege oarsmen, for long ago they had become so accustomed to the hot rays of the sun that their bodies had become impervious to the best efforts of old Sol. By the time the announcement that the race had been postponed last night reacned the boys in their quarters the coaches on the referee's boat had made up their minds | to order their respective crews oul on the river for still another last practice pull, and so the evening was largely used in practic- ing with the ‘varsity men in starts. Of Red Top the two Harvard crews btarted and stopped alternately for over an hour, never at one time pulling a quarter of a mile, and with Yale the same program Was carried out, except that they went up into Clark’ cove to avoid too rough water and the pry- ing eyes from the menfrom Haryard Cni- versity and the Columofans, thé latter hay- ing it in for Yale, as they have learned that some of the edherents of that college hud spoken disrespectfuilly of their aquatic pow- i | | Coach Marshal Nowell of Harvard replied to the query as to how his men were feeling this morning by saying: “They are all right and ready for the fray. “Have you got anything about their pros- pects of Winning?” “Well, I tell you, the general newspaper talk that the Harvard freshmen are no good is way off. I think they are a good crew to in to."" wey that you mean that you think they will win this morning? “Oh, no; I don’t say that, but 1 do say they have been underrated. We are all ready and only want to get ox: end settle the affair. BADGES AND 1BLEMS. Animated Scenes on the Day of the Great Boat Race. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 28.—The wind that ruffled the waters of the Thames all day Wednesday became chilly enough last night to prevent much of a show of Yale and Harvard emblems on the st-eets, but this morning it had died away, and at an early hour pretty girls began to appear, wearing the colors of their sweethearts and brothers, and furnishing brightness to the scene by their vivacity not less than by their dresses. The most of the young ladies were evidently partisan, but not too parti- san. They wore Yale's or Harvard s colors, but they were not, as yet, enthusiastic over it. Here and there, however, a girl appear- ed who had evidently staked all her hopes, temporacily, on one college or the other. Some were crimson from top to toe, with bright crimson colors shining in their cheeks, and others blue as blue could be. One of the latter, who occupied a prominent position on the deck of the steamer Summer Gtrl this forenoon, was placed in a most harrowing situation when a Ha-vard friend presented her with a box of pink candy. She declared it was a plece of impudence, but finally decided to swallow the candy and the impudence together. Another girl, who was in an even more perplexing situation, solved the question by wearlng the colors of both colleges. Her brother was at Yale and her sweetheart at Hazvard. So she wore a crimson badge and crimson ribbons on the left shoulder and a blue badge with blue streamers on the right. She told the Yale brother that she had put the blue on the right side because it was the right color, and the Harvard sweet- heart that she wore the crimson on the left because it was nearest the heart. And, of course, both belfeved her. More saddening was the condition of the newspaper man, who desiring to stand well with both sides, wore a blue shirt and a crimson tie. As the day grew older boys with trays of badges and emblems of all kinds began to appear on the streets, finding ready custom- ers in the crowds that poured off the in- coming trains. By noon nearly everyone wore somethi aw to show which side he favored in the fight. The types of emblems and badges extant this year are not very numerous. There are buttons and smali tin flags, colored with Yale's dark blue, Columbia's light blue, or Harvard's crimson. There are shoulder knots and streamers of ribbons. The Yaleites wear the blue cotndower, Columbians blue and white sweet peas and blue and white pinks, while Harvard's friends have boutonniers of La France roses, or pink sweet peas. The shop win- dows are very little decorated, and have few badges or other devices for sale. Here and there a store has been filled up gor- geously with the two colors. In this case one show window is usually devoted to the crimson and one to the blue. In one shoe store all the women’s shoes are on top of the blue bunting, and all the men’s on tcp of the crimson. One millinery store had its window decorated in brilllant blue, and in the center a waxen bust dressed in the prettiest pink. The prettiest simple decoza- tion consisted of tiny oars tied together with blue or crimson ribbons. Later in the forenoon the styles were added to very materially. Peddlers with all sorts of devices arrived in swarms and with them came some new ideas in em- blems, some of the prettiest consisting of imitation blue birds and robins. A book- like program of the races, handsomely bound in crimson and blue,with a miniature oak bound along its back, also met a ready sale. THRONGING TO NEW LONDON. Crowds Eager, for the Big Race This Afternoon. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 28.—Yaie did not march into New London 40,000 strong this morning, but it made iteelf felt to fully that extent. Compared with the inpouring of Elis, Harvard's effort made hardly a respectable showing. It was a Yale day. Yale yells and Yale colors were everywhere. It might have been because the followers of the blue are nearer and were first on the scene, or again, that they had more confidence in their crew, but true it was nevertheless. Harvard did not appear in so great a/ body, but every follower of the crimson | seemed tuned and armed with a determine- tion to do or die. What they lacked in num- ber they did their best to remedy in en- thusiasm, but compared with Yale's efforts | theirs was but a forlorn hope. Again the colors of Yale predominated | with the ladies, but not to the extent which | the male enthusiasm scemed to warrant. | Whatever her failings,Harvard has a warm spot in the, hearts of New England's fair daughters, ‘and hundreds of them showed their preference boldly and handsomely. | From the Omaha Bee. It was hardly sunrise when New London began to awake to tre tmportance of the day. This staid cld town never did take kindly to trimmings, 2nd now that she is in the position of the belle whose market is made, she does not care particularly, and who blames he>? The boat races and New | London are too closely welded to let the ab- sence of a few yards of ribbon, some streamers, or a lot of musty and ill-smelling flags of doubtful origin stand in the way of complete enjoyment. Consequently, the national emblem, and tt was to be seen everywhere, the ‘college colors and thorough good fellowship were depended upon to the satisfaction of every- body ex,-epting some professional decorators who live clsewhere. From the Union depot on State street there was but little to see in the way of decorations. Up on the three-story brick | buildings the corner of Bank street a big white sign heralded the New London headquarters of the Associated Press, and shone brightly ageirst the background «f pressed brick. It was on the third floor cf this building that the wires to the scene of the race and the furthermost quarters cf this country radiated. Here was every con- venience for rapid work, and it was here that visiting newspape> men found a cordial welcome and cheerful aid in their work. Further along on State street are situated the leading stores, and m the windows cf these are grouped color galore, crimson and blue mingled and intermingled, to the de- Ught of their respective followers amd the profit of the shopkeepers. It was out on the waters of New Londoa harbor where most eyes. sought and found that which they craved. It was here that all was gayety. Hundreds of crafts, of all sizes, conditions and in all manner of sit- uations, vied, one with the other, to lend beauty to the scence. Big excursion steam- ers jostled with catboats, and palatial yachts touched noses with the grimy tug of commerce. All this there was to attract the visiti thousands, aside from the g>eat race, an there were but few idle moments, and never a dull one. THE NINETEENTH RACE. Record of the Harvard-Yale Annual Eight-Oared Contests, NEW LONDON, Conn., June 28—The race this afternoon between the Harvard and Yale crews will be the nineteenth since the inauguration, in 1876, of an annual eight-cared contest, and the thirtieth of the entire series in which the blue and the crimson have struggled for victory. The first eleven races were rowed in six-oared boats over a three-mile course. The first was in 1952, and the three next followed at irregular Intervals. After 1864 one was had for each year, but six-oared boats were still used, and it was not until twelve years later, In 1875, that the present type of eight-oared shells was adopted. At the same time the course was length- ened to four miles, The first two of the elght-oared races were rowed at Spring- field; Mass., one falling to Yale and the other to Harvard. Since then all races have been held at jew London, on the Thames. Of the eighteen oared contests between the colleges, Yale has won eleven and Harvard seven. The fastest time over the four-mile course was twenty minutes and ten seconds, made by Yale in 188s. The slowest time made by a winner was twenty-five minutes forty-six and a half seconds, made by Harvard in 198. The average winning time is about twenty-two minutes and seventeen seconds. The race last year”was one of the most interesting in the history of intercollegiate contests. The rival crews caught the water together, and while Yale pulled thirty-six strokes to the minute, Harvard started off at the kill- ing rate of forty strokes. By this she took the lead, and kept it for @ mile and a quarter. Then her men be- gan to show the effects of the strain, and Yale passed her, still pulling at the rame even rate with which she started. Once behind, the Harvard men, though iairly pulling their hearts out, were unable to re- gain the lead, or even’ to close up again. At times they would lessen the gap, and then Yale, by some well-timed leg work, would shoot still further ahead. The time of the winner, 25.01 1-2, sounds as if it were very slow, but this is ex- plained by the roughness of the water and the fact that there was a strong head wind dead ahead.

There is a peculiar district, or rather a district over a peculiar subterranean for- mation in the Platte river valley, in Ne- braska, involving more particularly the counties of Colfax, Butler and Polk. This is the region of the singular roaring wells whose waters also rise and fall with a clearly defined tidal action. Of the three counties mentioned Polk leads, having six- teen or eighteen of the curiosities. There ere hours when the water will gradually rise, and during this time the wells exhale such @ quantity of air as to make trong: current, which is accompanied by a roar- ing sound which can be heard to @ con- siderable distance. After a short interval of quiescence the ebb sets in, the water siowiy falls, and the inhalation that follows is as if the air at the mouth of the well were in @ mad rush to follow the receding tide. From these facts an impression prevatis in many minds that Nebraska, Kansas and @ portion of the indian territory rest on an immense subterranean sea. In support of this position, it is alleged that square miles of land have disappeared in , leav- ing lakelets of unrathomable deptn instead. While it ts true that the other regions men- Uoned also occasionally exhibit wells hav- ing this roaring feature, there is nothing in this to sustain the view of an underground jake or sea, certainly not as we understand these terms when they are applied to bodies of water on the surface. Nor is it by any means uncommon for portions of surface to sink trom sight, a case of this kind having recently occurred during the earthquake in Venezuela, in South America,and the “sunk country” in the vicinity of New Madrid, on the Mississippi river, having disappeared tn ~~ prolonged seismic disturbance of 1811- 1 While it may not be generally known, it is, nevertheless, @ fact, that some of Penn- sylvania’s gas wells have exhibited this pe- cullar tidal tendency; and, while in many instances the drill has penetrated below the ocean level, it does not follow necessarily that any of these wells, elther of water or gas, are in communication with the sea. What would seem far more probable is that these wells may communicate with areas that have more or less direct connection with the mobile interior, and where we may logically infer there is also a tidal mant- | festation. All the Nebraska roaring wells | extend down to a porous stratum, presum- ably surface in some former age, and it is | STORAGE probable that the water lying among the loose material of a former bed is in some | way affected by pressure exerted against it by the earth’s internal tides. When the recession takes place it is only natural that there should be a suction inward and | | -| an expulsion when the flow sets in. The | occasional subsidence of surfaces below | water level can be readily accounted for, | apart from any theory of underground | oceans, which is entirely untenable. But | these remarkable wells are worthy of a | more careful observation than they have | yet received. j oe GROUND FOR DIVORCE.

BOARDING STEAM CARPET CLEANING. BROOKLYN NAVY YARD Matters of Interest in Regard to the Lan- caster. Unfot ied Rumors as to Smuggling by the Oticers—Sale of Unused Correspondence of The Evening Star. NAVY YARD, New York, June 26, 1894. Interest here now centers in the recent return of the Lancaster from a three years’ cruise on the “China station” and the mar- riage of two young ladies of the navy yard colony of officers. The cruise has embraced many ports of Europe, Afriea and Asia,as she went out to the China station in the summer of 1801 by way of the Madeira Islands, Cape Town, Madagascar and Singapore, and returned by way of the Red sea, the Suez canal and the Mediterranean. During her stay on the China coast she was the flagship of the station, and successfully flew the flags of Admirals Harmony, Irwin and Skerrett. The cruise has been uneventful, and the old ship, which, twenty years ago, was a “pride of the sea,” will go out of com- mission at this yard soon, and be sent to Newport, where she is to be used as a gunnery ship for apprentice boys, accord- ing to the present plans, though her bat- tery Is of an obsolete type, and many offi- cers would like to see the apprentice boys, who are to make sailors for our new ships, trained at modern guns. Officers and men are glad to get back home after the three years in China and Japan, and one remarked “that green grass looked beautiful after forty days at sea,” while another said it “was music to ais ears to heat every one speaking English after listening to Chinese for three years.” Suil the China station has its good points. One can live cheaply there and gold is at & premium, so officers, who are always paid in gold, find their salary practically increased by a welcome amount. Naval Officers’ Daughters Married. Miss Carrie Purvis Ayres, daughter of Chief Engineer Samuel L. P. Ayres, U. 8. N., who was married to Mr. Ellis Jackson of Philadelphia at 8t. Michael's Chapel, Brooklyn, is very popular with her many friends in the navy and out. Her father has been chief engineer of this navy yard for three years, during which time he has superintended the building of the engines for the Cincinnati and the Raleigh, the first engines for war ships built in the gov- ernment shops for many years. He entered the navy from Connecticut tn 1858, serving through the war under Farragut and Dahl- gren, and after the war on the European aay eeeeg eanitnh e Margaret Sara, er of lain James’ J. Kane, U. ‘SN. pan 6 ried to Mr. James G. Petitte of Brooklyn at the Washington Avenue Baptist Church, Brooklyn. Chaplain Kane is very well known throughout the navy as the “Fight- ing Chaplain.” He entered the navy in 1861, with the rank of mate, and wes ap- pointed an acting by Commodore Foote, but at that tie his tastes seem to have been more for fighting than preach- ing, for he served as a line officer through the war, attending to the spiritual wants of the crews he served with when the op- portunity came. He was in many daring and successful attacks on the confederates, and for these services was recommended by Admiral Porter to be promoted to the head of the chaplains’ . President Grant accordingly sent his name in to the Senate, who refused to ratify the appoint- ment, on the grounds of some $15,000 back pay that would have to be paid Chaplain Kane. Chaplain Kane is aiso an author of some note. He has been for two years at this navy yard, but has recently been detached and om waiting orders on account of ill health. Honors to Admiral Erben. Much interest {s taken by the many naval ! officers here in the unusual and distinguish- ed honors shown to Admiral Erben and the officers of his flag ship, the Chicago, in European ports. They almost unanimously agree in the | great merit of Capt. Mahan’s book, “The | Influence of Sea Power on History,” and generally ascribe the great attention shown to Admiral Erben, Capt. Mahan and the | officers of the Chicago to the remarkabie | success that the book has had among naval professional men in Europe, and especially in England. For £ngiand’s navy is her salvation, and | they see in Capt. Mahan’s masterly book | the explanation of the causes of Englaud’s | supremacy id the key supremacy—“he who sways the scepter on | the land must rule the waves that wash | its shores.” | Unfounded Smagglin, | it was quite generally circulated that the Lancaster brought large quantities of duti- | able goods from the east, but the officers | of the ship deny this, and ascribe the | rumors to the malicious reports of some | disgruntled members ot the crew. | As a result of this report the New York papers said that the ship would be searched | by the customs offictals, but this statement is not well founded, for the customs officials have no authority to search a gov- ernment vessel for dutiable goods. ‘iney can require the commanding officer to make a statement of such dutiabie goods as may be abourd, but Cannot search the ship, as this would be @+grave reflection on ihe honor of the n@¥al officers, for the navy regulations, which are strictly enforced with military exactness, prohibit smug- gling with severe penaltics. ‘The customs officials may search every nm from the vesscl except officers in uniform on legitimate duty, and detain them if dutiable goods are found in their possession, when the persons thus apprehended would be punished both by the civil courts and naval courts-martial for smuggling. An investigation showed that no attempt at smuggling had been made in the case of the Lancaster. Si of Unased Ground.

The money thus acquired will be mostly used in making repairs and additions to the navy yard and marine barracks. There was some opposition among the naval authorities as to the sale, for many advocated using it as a drill ground or keeping it for future contingencies, when the necessities would require an enlarge- ment of the ship building plant here, and the construction of more dry ducks. The cobb dock, as the part of the yard isolated by the Wallabout channel is called, has been gradually for many years, till it is now almost entirely rrounded by a sea wall, with enough ‘water alongside for any of the men-of-war to moor to the wall. A plan was once prepared and partly car- ried out to make in the center of the cobb dock island a large basin for ships out of commission, or to afford larger docking fa- cilities when there are many ships at the yard: but lack of appropriations kept the plans from being completed, and the work is still but partly done, with the unsuccess- ful experiment the ram “Alarm” and a few Superannuated small vessels lytng in the un- finished bast; A new ferry boat connects the cobb deck with the mainland, as a bridge would interfere with the movements of vessels in and out of the narrow Walla- bout channel, which gives the available water front of the yard, except al cobb dock. aaa —_—-> —_ ¥q@r the first time in the history of Lead- ville, Colo., the saloons are to be closed Sundays.
