August Haneke, assistant priest at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, this city, died on the steamer Muenchen, at sea, May 27. His remains were taken to Bremerhaven and interred in the cemetery attached to the cathedral. Father Haneke had been {ll from heart trouble for a long period, but his death was unexpected. The deceased was a na- tive of Baltimore, and sailed from that city for a round trip to Europe May 18. He was born September 9, 1864, his parents belong- ing to the parish of the Holy Cross Church. He received his early education in the parochial school, and later attended St. Charles’ College. From the latter he went to St. Mary’s Seminary, where he gradu- ated in theology, and was ordained in 1890 by Cardinal Gibbons. He was then ap- pointed assistant pastor of Holy Cross Church, remaining there until April, 1897, when he was transferred to St. Mary’s Church, Washington. " a The Franking Privilege. The new post office bill, which goes into effect July 1, increases the franking privi- lege of members of Congress and delegates to the extent of permitting them to send under their frank letters to the extent of two ounces in weight.

Mercer pitched for the visitors, and, while the Bostonians out- batted his supporters 3 to 2, he kept. the hits so well scattered that the Beaneaters could not score more than a run in an inn- ing. He gave but two bases on balls and neither figured in the run getting of the jocals. He struck out one man, secured a hit and had three assists.

YALE-CORNELL-HARVARD. yr mp Sizes Up the University Walter Camp mackie. alter Camp in Collier's Weekly. Tro one who looks at the Yale crew of this season and carries in his mind the picture of the Yale crew as they rowed last year, there comes almost at once the impression that the long body-swing is made with much less apparent effort and with a bet- ter rhythm than it was last year. The truth of the matter is that the return of Yale to more body work, which resulted from her visit to Henley a few years ago, was so sudden as last year to cause the crew to present an appearance of unusual effort. This has given way this season to a better and more satisfactory perform- ance of that part of the stroke which is not nearly so much accentuated. The crew exhibits the same dash as last year's fresh- man crew, but does not impress one with quite so much a feeling of power. The gen- eral style is better, and especially notice- able in the cleaner blade work at the fin- ish of the stroke. The crew does not get aft as easily and gently as Cornell. There is, as there was last year, more tendency to stop between strokes than that shown in the Cornell boat, but there is_a decided improvement in the smoot of the work, and crew is more together than last year, both on the catch and perticu- larly on the finish. ‘The Yale crew has not forgotien the les- son of Cornell's leg drive and are getting back to some of the old power that they were wont to manifest in that feature of their stroke. Then, too, the uneven getting out of the oars, which was noticeable, even up to and in the race of 1897, has already been greatly improved upon. The break that was noticed in the waist of the Yale boat last year has been smoothed out, ard the time is far better. The body-swing is not yet as beautifully even as is Cornell's, but the grip of the water on the catch is quite as good and the heave more marked. That catch has long been one of the best features of Yale crews, and this one is not likely to be an exception. But that deli- cacy of getting out, which Mr. Cook haz worked so hard over, has not yet reached the point of perfection he looxs for, and pair-oar work must be relied upon to ac- complish this. The stroke is well rowed out,-exeept on spurts, when there is some shortening. Flint seems to be as easy to follow as Williams, though he has not so accented a style. Courtney and the Cornell Crew. Mr. Courtney has had more material un- der his eye than Mr. Cook or Mr. Leh- mann. While he vas not able to get his crew on to the water as early as the Yale crew, the Cornell school has been such that he has had plenty of men rowing the Cctirtney stroke and the delay in getting on to the water was thus not so serious. His crew has rounded rapidly into form in the last few weeks, and the especial fea- ture which impresses one is, as it was on the Hudson last year, the ease and smooth- ness with which the men perform their werk. This is due to.two causes: First, the men have all been taught, and always been taught, the same stroke; second, Mr. Courtney is a most accomplished boat rig- ger. As stated earlier in. this article, if there be a man, eithef'In this country or in England, who knows‘how to apply the art of mechanics to a ‘Wants rigging in an «| eight-oared shell so.¥hatithat man shall perform his work at‘the ¥reatest mechan- feal advantage, it th ries Courtney.

His blade work is especially gcod, but the work done toward the latter half of his stroke ts not as effective as that of Dobyns and his sweep has not as many pounds in ft at that, point as Mr. Leh- mann could wish.

Base Bull Notes. A great game! Mercer the magnificent! Think of the Senators playing determined ball! Again Mr. Anderson came to the front with a home run. Mercer was at his best in tight places, and deserves great credit for the victory. The crowd tried hard to rattle him. The Néw York Journal says the Senators fought like marines for yesierday’s game. ‘That is‘ giory enough for one day. Frank Hough in the Philadelphia Inquirer says: “The Senators are coming up fast, surprising the wise Solomons of base ball, and will soon be in their rightful position in the first division.” It is very unfortunate that Reitz and Mercer are laid up with injuries. Mercer may have done well at second during “Pep- per’s” lay off, but there is no teliiag what Donovan can’ do, The tall boy from the Ohio vailey, Hil- lary Swaim, will be on the rubber ioday, and should ‘he continue his good work of the last couple of games the Beaneaters will find another hard battle on their hands. Klobedanz will be on the rubber for the Bostons, and it is to be hoped he will be handled by the Senators in their same old way. Jim McGuire made the play of the game yesterday, capturing a tremendous hard drive over first base with three men on bases and two out. Jim smothered the bali in artistic shape and also wiped out the chances of a victory for the champions. Batting out of turn seems almost like a criminal mistake, but Meyers 13 a com- paratively new man on the Senators’ bat- ting list, and for this reason his forgetful- ness can be overlooked. Bert has been playing a very steady, winning game at third for the Washington club, and it can very easily be seen that in securiag the Capitol Hill boy Mr. Wagner has plugged up the big hole in the infield most effect- ually. 2 Washington opens up a serie@ of four games with Louisville Monday, then goes to Cincinnati for four and finishes up the western trip at St. Louis with four, mak- ing twelve games in all. Should the Sen- out of the Eastern League is news to him. He believes Rochester will be the last club to quit. President Pulliam is authority for the statement that the corporation of the Louisville club is perfectly solvent and has behind it some of the strongest men finan- cially in the state of Kentucky. Mr. Pul- Nam says that the Louisville club has not lost a dollar and that its prospects are ex- cellent. FINE WEATHER AT SHEEPSHEAD. Orpament the First Choice of Almost Everybody. NEW YORK, June 18.—This is Suburban day, and the Coney Island Jockey Club at Sheepshead bay could not have been favor- ed with better weather for the opening of their track. What Derby day is to Eng- land, Suburban day is to this country, for while there are many three-year-old stakes run off on the various tracks in the United States, none of them attains anywhere near the importance of the Suburban. The course is a little deep, as there has been no rain for some time, but the grass track is in fine condition. In the infield the grass has been cut and the steeplechas- ers will have a good course to run over. As usual, on Suburban day the horses en- gaged had little to do this morning, and their final preparation for the big race con- sisted of a light gallop around the course, with a “pipe opener” through the stretch. Before 9 o'clock they were safely bestowed in their boxes to wait seven hours before being called to the paddock to be saddled. f course, there was the usual gathering of trainers and race track hangers-on about the stand after the exercise was over, and while nearly every horse in the race had at least one partisan, there could be no question as to the favorite. The winner of the Brooklyn handicap, Ornament, was the first choice of almost everybody. He won handily then inst about the same horses, and while he will have to carry 131 pounds as a penalty for that win, few were inclined to say they thought that would stop him. Ben Holla- day was selected by many as the horse Taost likely to get the second place, al- though imp. Ogcen, Don D’Or, Semper Ego and Royal Stag had a lot of followers. In fact, outside of Ornament it was a difficult hazard a bet as to the winner if Ornament did not win, so open is the race after him, it was declared. .

Most of the Ships Waters, A special dispatch to the New York Trib- une from Newport News, Va., yesterday says: Captain Barker, commanding the cruiser Newark, which ts still at Old Point, expects to take his ship to Cuban waters, where it will be a part of the blockading Squadron, in view of the fact that it is su- perior to any other ship now doing duty under Commodore Remey. As it is likely to be some time yet before the new squadron ts to be formed, the Yale and the Harvard will return to Santiago, as the department cannot afford to keep them idle in the meantime. Both the Yale and the Harvard are experiencing consid- erable difficulty in enlisting able-bodied men as seamen, and unless better progress is made in the next few days the two cruis- ers will be detained much longer than i Go to Cuban to ath arri: by th sq carry soi ives by that time. cartridges, numbering 800,000, are of the peculiar style which fit both the Lee rifles and the quick-fire machine guns.
