Over 2,000 persons assembled in Cooper Union, New York, last night. They came to hear an expression of opinion from Mayor Strong on the subject of Sunday opening; but they were disappointed, for the mayor did not go to the meeting. He sent a short note, saying he was unable to be present, and could not send a long letter. Ex-Senator John G. Boyd called the meeting to order. On the southern end of the hall was a flaring poster, bearing the words: “We demand a vote on the Sunday question. Let the majority rule.” f The speakers of the evening were Rev: Dr. W. . Dr. John Friedrichs and Dr. J. Among the promi- nent people who occupied seats on the stage were Oswald Ottendorfer, Louis Yindmuiler, Theodore Sutro, Gen. Franz Sigel and Judge Leonard A. Giegrich. Some of the organizations represented in bodies at the meeting were nights of Labor, Cen- tral Labor Union, 75, Federation of Labor, 75, Central Turn Verein and the Arion So- clet . x-Senator Boyd was the first speaker. liam Steinway, he said, was unable to preside, on account of illness. Otto Kemp- ner was made ehairman, and made a speech of some length against the Sunday closing law. Rev. Dr. W. S. Rainsford of St. George's Church said, In part: “I am opposed to the present excise law, which closes saloons on Sunday. I am in favor of opening saloons on that day for certain hours—say, from 12 midday to 10.” He said that he believed that the open- ing of saloons for certain hours on Sunday would diminish lawbreaking. The present law, he thought, was impossible of en- forcement, and its disregard begot a disre- pect for law, which was unhealthy for the public morals. As to this evasion, he said: “I need not say that this is true of Irish or Ger- mans alone. It is also true of a large pro- portion of our American population.” ——— VIRGINIA TROOPS ORDERED OUT. Four Companies of Militin Protecting a NegropFrom Lynching. Considerable excitement prevails in Win- chester, Va., over the arrest of a negro named Thornton Parker for attempting to assault Mrs. Melton. Governor O’Ferrall has ordered four military companies to the scene to uphold the law. The, companies ordered out are those of Harrisonburg, Woodstock, ‘Toms Brook and Winchester. Every precaution will be taken to protect the negro from mob law. Last Tuesday the negro violently as- saulted Mrs, Melton, a white married wo- man, living in Middletown, Frederick county. He made his escape for the time being, but was afterward arrested and fully ‘identified by Mrs. Melton. He was landed in jail, but the officers who had the prisoner in charge were fol- lowed by a mob, and cries of “Lynch him!" “Get a rope, swing him up!” ete., were heard. So great was public indignation that, as a precautionary measure, Parker was taken to Berryville jail and kept there for several days. When it became ap- parent that he was In imminent danger of being lynched he was quietly removed again, this time to the jail at Front Royal. In the meantime a special grand jury was summoned, the county court of Frederick being in session, and the prisoner was in- dicted, and his trial set for today. If he is found’ guilty he will, under the law, be punished by death. Several years ago a negro who had been confined in jail at Front Royal for safe- keeping, because of the intense feeling pre- vailing against him in Frederick for as- saulting a white lady, was taken from a passenger train at Kernstown and lynched in broad daylight within a stone's throw of the railroad. It was to prevent a repeti- tion of this violence, probably, that mili- tary assistance was thought necess: ——se0 CONFLICT OF UTHORITY. The Fight Between the State Govern- ment and Detroit. Recently the Michigan legislature’ leg!s- lated the Detroit health board, appointed by Mayor Pingree, out of office, chiefly on mt of alleged incompetency ‘of the health commissioner, who was sustained in office by the mayor and a majority of the old health board. Under the act passed by the legislature a new health board was ap- pointed by Gov. Rich. A majority of the Detroit aldermen took sides with Mayor Pingree and retaliated by refusing to ap- propriate the new health board’s budget of 350,000 for paying the expenses of the health rtment. Yesterday afternoon a bil w i by both houses requiring the Detroit common council to appropriate not less than $50,000 for the use of the board of health and directing that $12,000 shall at once be set aside for its expenses. The bill further restricts Mayor Pingree’s power by requiring that vacancies in city beards shall be filled within fifteen day thereby preventing the mayor from ex- ercising his power over “hold-overs. ——+0+—— Attacked Secret Organizations. During yesterday afternoon’s session of the new national reform party convention at Pittsburg Rev. W. B. Stoddard of this city took occasion to say some things about secret orders, the Masons in par- ticular, which brought the chairman to his feet with the order for the reverend gen- tleman to take his seat. He hesitated a moment, and in that time was lost, for a motion was ingeniously made by some one who saw the danger of disruption, and the conference resumed regular business again.

Chance for an American Team to Go Abroad. : W. O, Hickok, captain of the Yale Ath- letic Team, says, relative to reported delay in training of the Oxford-Cambridge ath- letes, that it matters little to Yale, as in all probability there would be no team sent from that university should a match take place. Hatch, Sheldon and Cady, three of the best men, will be in the New York Athletic Team, to meet the Englishmen in America in the fall, and so could not par- ticipate in any contest abroad. Capt. Hickok said that Yale graduates for the most part are opposed to her athletes par- ticipating in the international match. Har- vard athletes, he has heard, report that the faculty will not allow them to compete. Columbia College’s delegates to the inter- collegiate meeting held in New York on February 23 voted against the proposition to send a representative team from all the colleges abroad, yet a number of the under- graduates are deeply interested in the team that is to go to England in the summer. Columbia is unfavorably disposed toward a team going abroad, the undergraduates declare, on account of the fear that the in- ternational collegiate games may interfere with the popular interest in the games ar- ranged to be held in New York city next fall between the London Athletic Club and the New York Athletic Club. i The news of the postponement of the Oxford-Cambridge annual meeting is re- ceived with satisfaction at Cornell Univer- sity, and it is hoped that an all-American athletic team may- be admitted to compe- tition in the meet. Manager William C. White said that he believed a team could be made up that would be worthy contest- ants for horor on English soil, and would bring money im the treasury of the Inter- collegiate Association and prospective prof- its from the spring meet at the Berkeley Oval. The expenses, he said,could be easily met. Cornell, in case an American team is selected, will present two strong candidates for places in the persons of Becker, the high jumper, and Patterson, the hammer thtower, Capt. James of the Princeton Athletic As- sociation, upon being informed that the Ox- ford- Cambridge games had been postponed until July 3, said: “I see no reason now why the American and English universities should not come together this summer. We have favored July 15, or thereabouts, as the date, and now that the English teams compete ten days earlier, I think they will readily agree to this also. We are heartily in favor of international games, and will do all in our power to perfect arrange- ments. If the meeting is held July 15, the members of the New York Athletic Club will have ample time to prepare for their games in September.” NEW SORT OF A SHELL. The Racing Wont Being Built for a Harvard Crew. A Cambridge boat ‘builder is busy on an experimental, craft for the Harvard class of . She has been christened the Rain- bow, and will be ready to wet about April 10. An expert in racing craft who saw the new boat says the lines from the midship section all the way aft are as full as a working boat, and to knock all racing craft dizzy she has a square stern. She is 53 feet over all, 23 inches beam, 8 1-2 inch- es depth amidships, 2 1-2 inches depth at stern; camber of keel, 5 inches. It 1s ex- pected that with a full crew the boat will draw about three and one-half inches of water amidships, and the stern is so work- ed away that it will barely touch the wa- ter when the crew is not in action. The beat is cigar shaped, and differs from the regulation shell from bow to midships by being fuller. When a crew glides up for stroke the stern of the siell settles deep and retards the onward motion of the boat. The Yale crews in past years have in a measure overcome this by slowing down the slide when on the full reach. There is no doubt about the new boat floating the crew pret- tily, but the square stern will be watched with great anxiety. The usual shell runs to nothing at the stern, but this one is fin- ished up after the fashion of a yacht with an overhang. Here are a few of the boat’s measurements: Three feet from the stern or bow she measures 5 3-8 inches, ten feet from the bow she measures 11 inches, and thirteen feet from the bow the meas- urement is 13 1-2 inches. Four feet two inches from the stern the measurement is 15 7-8 inches, and ten feet from the stern 10 1-4 inches. The coxswain’s seat is ten feet from the stern post. The racing shell tapers on the gunwale from the midship section, whic is usually from 22 to 24 inches wide to 3-8 inch at the stern post; but the Rainbo when floated, will look like a practice barge, for she‘loses but thirteen inches from the midship section to the stern. A drop rudder about four inches below the keel will probably be used. “WILL FRIGHTEN THE YANKEE Allsa’s Captain's Remark on Her Won- derful Sailing. According to expert opinion, Ailsa, which defeated Britannia yesterday at Cannes, is really a marvelous boat at going to wind- ward and in running with the wind abaft the beam. She is better than Britannia on a broad reach. The experts have as yet had no opportunity of seeing what she will do when running dead before the wind. Yachtsmen of practical knowledge agree that Allsa fs a rara avis in light weather, and a trial of her abilities in a blew is eagerly looked forward to. The performance of the new cutter, ac- cording to the observations of the Asso- ciated Press man on board, seems even more remarkable than the great difference in time between the two chts at the fin- ish would indicate,because the yaciat labor- ed under disadvantages which could not be appreciated ashore. Owing to the fact that Capt. Jay was suffering frcm a sprained hand, Dintle, the second mate, steered Ailsa throughout the Her rigging was still stre ing s badly that the yacht’s full speed could not be attained. Then again, of one tack, her jib topsail had to be lowered and her top- mast rigging had to be set up. Then,when the sail was reset, the gaff was fouad to be light and buckled badly. On the last round, while reaching for the mark boat off Aiguille Point, Mr. Fife or- dered the main sheet to be slacked away until the luff was shaking and the sails spilling in the wind. This was done in order to relieve the strain on the gaff, which was bending badly. Ailsa has a heavier stick, which will be used in future races. - Then again, Ailsa’s crew were minutes sh r than Britannia’s in handling sails, and on se stretches, whe: wind was aft, Britannia lost less time, and on 6ne run she actually gained on Ailsa throtigh the smarter handling of her light canvas. ‘But “Tom Jay 1s one of the best skip- pers afloat, and Allsa’s crew will harden down after a few more races. Mr. Walker and Mr. Fife both admitted the possibility of Ailsa’s going to the United States after the America’s cup, but It should be added they were both very modest in discussing that prosp2:t. Rat- sey looked at the wonderful set of the big tdpsail and smiled. After the race was well in hand, and it vas seen that Britannia would be badly beaten, Capt. Jay remarked with a tr smile: v After Ailsa crossed the line, 2 for Britannia, and when the latter had finished, the Prince of Wales’ cuiter was sailed very se Ailsa and the Prince of Wales. raising his yachting cap in the air, led three heariy cheers for the boat ; 1 given his cutter the most se- ating she ever had.

The British yachts- men said that they were astonished that Vigilant would not take part in the Clyde races previous to her return to the United States, as that would, give the Americans the truest comparison'with Ailsa’s form. —— Capt. John Barr Says She Will Be Much Faster When in Trim. Capt. John Barr, late of Glasgow, now of Marblehead, Mass., returned to his home, after visiting ;friends in Scotland. He was present at the launching of the Fife cutter Ailsa, which yesterday again defeated the Britannia so badly, and when asked by a Boston Merald reporter how the big boat looked, #4 : “Well, she looked a8‘though she would be @ very good all-aroiigd boat for British racing. She will be very fast in stays, owing to her short Keel and great rake of stern post, and a particularly fast reacher. She has a fine sheer, a well-formed yet powerful midship section, and her graceful ends give her a very Slick appearance. She is of composite construction and is strong- ly built. Under water her planking is of American elm. Her topsides are of ma- hogany. Her bulwarks and rails, which are made of teak and oak, are unusually heavy, and instead of being bolted to the stanchions, are bolfed through the cover- ing board, the former being done away with. She has a very lofty rig, and is heavily sparred. Her lower mast is of Oregon pine, as nothing else would stand the great strain.” “Did you go to Fairlie?” Capt. Barr was asked. “Yes, I did. When I visited the Fife yard, in Fairlie, I met old Mr. Fife, and we had a long talk about many past seasons’ yachting and the Ailsa’s chances against the Britannia. Mr. Fife brought up the Jubilee, and asked about her construction. When I told him, he was more than as- tonished at her lightness, and could not see how she could hold together against the pressure of her canvas.” “What did you think of the Atlsa’s per- fermance at Cannes on Thursday?” “I think she made a very fine showing against the Britannia for her first_race. They had little time to get ready. -Every- thing was being done in a hurry when she left the Clyde, and, of course, like all new boats, her gear would be very stiff. When her sails are stretched and at their best, the crew thoroughly trained, I am sure she will be fully ten minutes faster over a for- ty-mile course*than she is now, and she will have no trouble in beating the Britan- pla in any kind of breeze.” Capt. Barr sailed the Thistle in the cup race against the Volunteer. He was the skipper of the Jubilee, and this year has been engaged by Dr. W. Barton Hopkins of Philadelphia. London Comment on Allag. The London Yachting World says: do not see any reason to conclude that the Ailsa would be faster than the Vigilant in American waters. The defeat of the Pritannia is in no way conclusive. The Britannia is three years old and is becom- ing obsolete. It is possibile also that the resulf may be reversed at the next meet- ing. The Britannia proved superior to the Vigilant .in our waters, for the Vigilant was built for certain conditions, and it has not been“proved that under them she could not beat the Britannia. Snme in Model and Size. “Macon” in Philadelphia ‘Times, We are graciously informed that “British yachtsmen are pleased at the news that the America’s cup defender is to be a keel beat.” I have no doubt of it. Every time they have pitted one of their keel boats against one of our center-boarders in a cup race they have come tp grief, and it must be pleasant news, indead, for them to hear that we have given up the type of boat that served us so well sd, Idhg. They naturally think that they can bull a faster keel boat than we, they having-greater experience with them. I hope they may be mistaken. By the way, I see that the new Valkyrie is to have 24 fect beam'and a draught of water of 17% feet. Her length on load water line will be SY feet 4 inches. This confirms my theory that the Ailsa, Val- kyrie III and Herresboff’s boat will be found to be substantially the same in model and size. The English have adopted our wide beam and smalt immersed section ideas, while we have taken to their fin keel and lead bulb theory. I'm afraid that they have the best of the appropriating. Bookmakers? Were Worsted. The six-heat contest at Alexandria Island between the gentlemen of slates and odds ard the talent resulted yesterday in the knowing. ones finishing first in all but one of the trials. In all of the six races the fin- ishes were somewhat tame, the day’s rac- ing being rather uninteresting. Eleven bookies took part in the game, and the ma- jority of them were very sorry .for it when they quit. ‘The winners were: Cadet, 7 to ; Forest, 1 to 2; Quilla, 2 to 1; Glenall, 8 Leigh, 7 to 5, and Trinculo, even Base Bull Notes. Rain again prevenfed the Brooklyns and the Washingtons from playing yesterday. The New York nine has also been unfor- tunate as regards weather, but have had some practice games with the club divided into two nines. It is claimed that Texas is the proper place for ante-season games. It is warm and rarely rains at this sea- son. Anson took his men there. Hugh Duffy, center fielder, has signed with the Boston base ball team. This leaves only Bannon and Nichols of the old team unsigned. “Jim” O'Rourke has given up hope of making the Connecticut League a success, and announces that he will organize a co- operative team for Bridgeport. He will open the season on Fast day in a game with the Cuban Giants. Arthur A. Irwin, who is training the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania nine, says it is 10 to 6 that the reserved team formed of men ineligible for the ‘varsity until next year will outplay the ‘varsity in the series of contests which the two will wage daily and win a good majority. Buck Ewing expects to get good work this season out of Tom Parrott. Incident- ally Buck says that he has mended all the cracks in his glass arm, and is prepared for high-grade werk on the diamond. Stafford’s work at second base for the New Yorks in the practice games down South does not show that he is the “‘sur- prise” Davis predicted he would be. Plain- ly that is New York’s weak spot, and un- less it is strengthened New York's pen- nant chances are gone. ‘That the Cleveland club wants Joyce to cover third base is a quiet but effective re- joinder to those who are declaring that “Bill isn’t much good anywa: his leg is gone, as as his arm.” Cleveland sim- ply says, “Let us have him.” Basket Ball.

The suggestion made in The Star recently that bicycles be licensed is likely to receive @ good deal of attention. A gentleman, who writes that he was the victim of a bicycle. accident in January, says: “The idea meets my views so en- tirely that I cannot well refrain from in- dorsing it. It is a suggestion that should be enforced by all means. The man who ran me down evidently had no considera- tion for any one but himself, and it is for such characters especially that a restraint of speed, as well as a tax on the wheel, should be imposed. There is no reason in the world why a cyclist should have more right of way than the pedestrians. I trust the desired result may be accomplished.” There are doubtless many who sympa- thize with this view and who would be glad to see the suggestion take form in practical restriction and license. On the other hand, there are bicycle riders who belleve their side of the question has a right to be heard. One of them says: “‘BI- cycles are not so dangerous as some people imagine. I~ have been a rider for three years, and in that time have not injured a single person, but in many cases it has been necessary for me to dismount in order te prevent an accident, simply because thé pedestrians would pay no attention to my signal, not because they were deaf, too old or too young, but where they take great pains to get out of the course of a hcrse they pay no attention to a bicycle, because they think you can dismount to let them pass. And in cautioning the po- lice to keep an eye on the bicycle riders, please see if he will be so kind as to have the drivers of wagons, as well as drivers of unlicensed private carriages pull out now and then in order to allow the bicycle rider to travel in safety.” This matter of careless driving is taken up in connection with the license idea by an- other rider, who says: “I would like to speak of one other thing, and that is the negligent and careless manner in which horses are driven on these streets, not only at a high rate of speed, but carelessly and dangerously. Seldom a day passes but what such accidents from this cause do occur. Let attention be called to this ap- parent recklessness; let regulations more strict in their bearing be passed and en- forced to their -full extent, without favor and without bias.” “Your correspondent who suggests a li- cense for bicycle riders seems to realize the great and pressing necessity for a taxa- He would have us li- censed; he would have us wear a badge with our licensed number plainly visible and conspicuously worn. Evidently he is not a bicycle rider, but aside from this— he would also have regulations as to speed. In this I heartily concur; that is, regulat- ing speed within city limits. Moreover, is it not a fact that these gentlemen who do ride at an unusual high rate of speed within city limits are young and careless riders; fellows anxious td inform the pub- lic of their racing ability —_——— A Detroit school girl was recently whip- eee by her schoolmates for telling tales on them.
