It is quite possible that tue Yale crew are playing Sshrewder game than any of tneir riva.s of the morrow, lor tiey have at least put themselves ‘where they show their hand but littte, being some three miles higher up the river than any ochers, ‘and seldom coming down for a practice row of the course, favoring instead that position more conve- Dient to theirpurpose. Like ali men trying to doa Feally creditable thing, they have been more or Yeas decried for their attempts to get tue stroke of the London Rowing Club, or of the Oxiord men.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 16, 1873, Wild rumors run rie here to-night. Of course, Yale, who, agi wrote, way all this time be hiding her hand, has certainly done so with consum- Mate skill, if the talk to-night be correct, only that talk itself being a clumsy sequel to otherwise exocptionaily goo l general-hip, for she has kept so far away up nyer Fis of , showed a6 Mhiavora- sight, and when she gid sh bly fhat po one has talked in her favor or thought she would he in the Arat two-thirds, But the story is to-night that Cook, her captain, who went ali the way to Engiatd to bring her victory 1f possible, says his crew will come in first before your readers aguin eat their suppers. If so, the miscalculations here wil be by thousands, But the story nas been through too many hands, and { fear wil not wash again. Much capital is Made out of young Rapulio’s injury, and Colum- bia pipes low about her prospects, I saw four oi her men out by themselves, he and his companion of the waist being absent. and it is rumosed that a sponge, soaked with warm water, is kept constantly on the ailing place. Then, again, the stroke rowed barefooted one duy and cut his foot with the toe strap. The place wilt not neal, and he rows now with a wet sponge un- der his strap. DUTTON’S DEFEAT TO-DAY, and by such a stripling, can hardly add to iis heart tor the morrow, and indeed from a good look at aod word with him, right afterwards, I think he is an over-estimated man. I watched him future such action as that taken the other day at ‘their trietinial dinner by their ciass oi 1870, YALE MUST STAND UP, » The last paragraph of teir preamble and resolu- tions then ran as toflows:— Whereas it is the opinion of the class that the Jack of thoroughness in domg our work, the want of deternunation and the spirit of suirkiug, which deieats us in physical contests, will, li not checked, Boon characterize the representatives vl this college in other capacities. und uhat the indolence and want oj pluck which have d.ieated us on the field and on tue water will ultimately disgrace us 4 intellectuai and morai contests. Be it resoived, That it is our duty as Alumni of Yale Coll to ideutiy ourselves as far as possible With tie buatiug aud base ball interests o: this College, to give them all the suppo't and encour- agement in our power, and to assure the active representatives of these interesta that we shall al- ‘ways regard their s..ccess or defeat 48 our own. + Be it algo resolved, ‘i hat in the opinion o1 "nis class it ws the duty of the authorities of this cellege to take some active measures (o remedy the existing hysical demoralizationu o1 Yule Coilege, and to in- ist thut ite muscular representa‘ives shall either ‘win back its laurels or devote themselves to more congenial pursuits than boating and base ball. Such plain talk as this indicates not only a state ‘of things demanding a strong remedy, but the courage to look straight at the situation and bet- ter it. Harvard man as I am, it is aimost painful to me to hear Yale humiliated by the hope ex- pressed by men of unquestionably tne slowest ‘crews here that they can beat Yale at any rate. She has rowed Harvaid too often and beaten her to oiten to make such talk palatable to any one who has been a Cambridge man, and glad as I should be to see ‘the old Magenta leading them all home to-morrow ‘afternoon, I would sooner see Yale close upon her than any other college. Unfortunately she w: not going out this morning until quite a whiie after 1 was up there, and as to stay and see her Would lose me asight of any other crew I went down the river and had a good i LOOK AT THE CORNELL MEN, ‘The crew does not appear dangereus, being neither broadly nor thickly made, but of good height, handy and of active bearing, but every other man looked good for along pull at the oar, all being rather large sized men, old and well seasoned. I understand that Coulter claims theirs to be a combination of the English and Ameri- can stroke, if anyone knows what that means, It looks much like that of Harvard, being of about the same length, the bodies swinging hardly past the perpendicular, and the reach being good; but while wit a good grip on the water they did not move as fast through it, and have less dash; but they look go strong and williag when at work that Dotwithstanding individual fauits they get unques- tionable speed out of their boat and promise they ‘will not confine this to the first or even the second mile. Indeed the Harvard captain told me lately that he thought Corneli would be about HARVARD'S UGLIEST ENEMY, Still she will make her fignt for every inch of the ‘way, and not if she can help it let the youngest uni- versity represented here defeat the oldest. Indeed if old John Harvard could rise for a little while and look in among us, 1 hardly know a more proper place to present him to Mr. Cornell than here at this great gathering of the colleges. And, by the way, WHAT MEETINGS there will be here on the morrow! President Eliot, of Harvard, may, side by side with Goldwin Smith, @0 over their old athletics, and see what improve- Ments to-day has brought ferth, for it ts not odd that Harvard iikes to row whenever this si President is near, who many years ago used to puil stroke for a Harvard crew, once going,as I was informed by one who went along, a trip of Besrly thirty miles on one day from Cambridge away to Fort Warren, at the mouth of Boston har- ‘dor, and back, Then again Mr. Agassiz likes to see ,# $000 race, and his son was for many years bow of Yhe Harvard crew; while President White may conte up to see whether his boys will avoid betting and 9@ win the six-oared shell he has promised them on (Rat condition, The whole year brings no other such dpportunity for a meeting of all the faculties, and we" may yet be hearing of their join- ing annually around well laden board while their-pupile are at che ghops and cracked wheat by the river side. 3 TRE STURDY WILLIANS BOYS, ‘The next crew I saw was that of Williams, and Mr, Gunster, their stroke, who has been called the strongest man on the river, was certeimly setting ‘them some lively work, which they were net slow to imitate. The impression ts abroad that they ‘will. be among the leaders of the last five, and] should think that they would do better than that, father than worse, Whiskers seem to fare well up among their Berkshire hills, stroke and the three Men forward ot midshtp, indulging each in a pair ‘Which can be distinctly seen, and will aid their colors in making them known to the irtriends closely in the race, from the little HERALD steam yacht, which does sucn good service here, sand was surprised exeeedingly to see him pump out so fast. Before he was out three minutes he seemed half stified for breath. He looks soft, and, on close inspection, a plump, healthy man, but the reverse of a stringy, well-seasoned one who would be difficult to beat. Ifne is no better with an oar than with the sculls Cornell cannot cacry him among even the first four to-morrow or I am greatly mistaken. A Cornell man who has seen much English rowing tells me he stead.es well alter the first quarter, ‘hongh flurried till then, and then does good, hard work and keeps at it albthrough. ‘The new man rowing No. 2in Williams to-day does not help her chances much; he looks too thin through, and with his weak back and abbreviated body swing, and with the poor rowing vi bow to keep him company, the chances of the Williams men to-night seem povrer rather than better. Dartmouth seems to be, like many of the crews, keeping quiet to-day, husbanding its strength for the hour now so close; and most wise was it of the committee in charge anc most convenient for all visitors that that hour will be four o'clock now, so that one can get home at some hour approach- 1g daylight. Bowdoin was out this morning for a pull over the course or @ goodly part of it, and the boys do get in their forty-two a minute right along, and reach not only as far as the crew of Price, their trainer, did, but noticeably further. But there is tne same tack of the ease in the boat which the “Aggies” and some others here have, and they will hardly be better than three at the very best. The Aggies, like the Harvard, have not enough ef strength, and the two men next the ends cer- tainly do not improve. From what they did to-day Iam strongly inclined to think they will be in the central cluster at the close, rather than in the frst. Of course you want to know, as do all men here to-night Bee wno WILL COME HOME FIRST in the hot struggle now go near?” The best answer ican make isto try to mame the five, from which you can pick your three, and will do so alphabeti- cally, to wit:—Amberst, Bowdoin, Cornell, Dart- mouth and Harvard. If I felt as confident that these will be the five, if nothing unwelcome comes to either, as that the winner, if not the Harvard, will have to work mightily for her place, I should feel easier in making the prophecy. Isaw Harvard this afternoon, and, by request, coached them considerably. Their rowing is in- comparably the best on this water—better in one way even than John Biglin’s, for their backs are straighter and their work more beautiful. I think they have about as few defects as any Harvard crew I ever saw, and if they had just a little more strength the good old University would, beyond any doubt, be happier to-morrow night, aquatically, than ever she was before. All were all right three hours ago, save the bow, and he ailing but slightiy, owing to this wretched water. Cornell, as I say, got no gcod from Dutton’s flasco to-day, and, moreover, in drawing for positions, has bagged the very worst of all—namely, that under the eastern shore—the eleventh. If they avold that Scylia of @ snag right on their course, they will find, if nota Cnarybdis of a rock further down, at least a bed of sand bank about a mile Jong, and so near the top of the water that often their oars will scrape it. They take TRIE HARD FaTR kindly, Iam told, but it does seem too bad to go through weeks and months of careful and labo- rious preparation and then waste one’s chances on such & course as they are forced to put up with. Jam at least rejoiced that Harvard is spared so sharp a test of her patience, and that her lot has fallen in the pleasant place of No, 4, for the numbers run from the west bank eastward, Is will be seen that Yale, too, has been favored, and it will be a welcome sight to see her sitting there side by st@e with her old and well-known rival, Amherst, though further Wes the best of it, 9 gbe have ah ae ee wherries and crafts of all descriptions which will surely infest the bagk sll along to look out for, and ‘80 will tend to crowd the “Aggies” on to Yale and t the latter too close to Harvard, and soon. I have tried in a previous letter to show that this course was not likely to give each crew ® chance to do its best, and have suggested that when the Positions were chosen the crews would quickly see the force of the objections raised to it, if they had not done betore.

THE HERALD STRAM YaCuT made several trips over the course yesterday and Suw nearly all the crews out on the river, the Ward Brothers, who have given the closes’ atten- ton to the cond tion 0. the water, state that the river fell ful.y three inches iast night. Ii the river shoul coutinue to lower at ths rate, and there is No apparent reason why it should not, the water on the sind bar which Mr. Blaikie 80 clearly pointed out several days ago will be almost too shailow for the oars to dip. The crews are all in gvod condition as regards beaith. Ferria, of the Corneil six, lately qmite under the weather, has lully recovered. Tnere has been a marked change in the manner of training this year over last. None of the men have been severely worked since Sa'urday, and it is geneiaily beveved that tie crews will ail pail better for having a few days’ partial rest. TRAINING PRACTIOALLY ENDED. It is to be remembored that the crews have taken regular exercise on tne river, and have twice @ day pailed over tie course. ‘The long walks and the tedious coaching, have been abandoned, and the work of the trainers is practically ended. Iu be- half of all the trainers it may be said that, appar- en ty, Eee. pen, arnesy and faliniul. The fouf of tae west Lank was lined with carriazes filled with gay parties who came down through the, sun and the wust to select the places ol observa- tion trom which to view the contest. THE DRAWING FOR POSITIONS on the river took place this morning undera large tree, near the quarters o/ the Cornell Univer- sitycrew, when the capta:ns o! the various crews met toarrange these and other preliminaries of most vital importance in the contest of to-morrow. It was not & very impiessive gathering; alew of tne men digutfed the convacation by standing, while the ma,or.ty sensibly sacrificed dignity tor com/ort and lay down on the grass. Yale was the only crew unrepresented, but she could not have been more fortunate than she was in the casting of lots. Mr. Ferris, the captain of the Cornell six, was chosen chairman. Captain Richard H. Dana, of Harvard, moved the aaoption of the rules of the America” College Kewing Association as the regu- lations of the race of to-morrow. This was a mere matter of form and met with no oppbdsition. Captain Brewer, of the Amherst six, proposed that @ cannon be fired at a time to be designated by the referee, and that every boat nos in lime before the expiration of thirty minutes should be barred out of the races. This was acceeded to by all present. Then came the really important work of the meeting—the drawing for yosi- tions, Last year the drawer of No. 1 had first choice, obliging the sixth crew on that occasion to take anytming which was left. Captain Dana, of the Harvard crew, suggested that the drawing be conducted upon the lottery plan and that the chair- Man appoint a disinterested persou who should draw a number which should determine their position. THE POSITIONS OF THR UNIVERSITY CREWS, At the start p sition No.1 was agreed u;on as being next to tne west bank, and so on ucross the river until No. 11, which was to be on the east side. It was universally admitted that the two last crews on the eastern side would have an almost hopeless task beiore them, for the great sand bar, waich runs out into the river about a mile below the start, effectually bars their course. Over this the water is unusually shallow, and the river, which ell nearly three inches last night, ts momentarily getting lower. Each captsin got upon his feet and interest became really intense as the preparation oi the numbers was proceeded with. As the drawing progressed the looks of dejection and of pleasure which overspread the coutenances of such as were respectively til fated or fortunate was sad to look upon. The result was as follows, Nos. 8, 4and 5 beg the favorite and central posi- tions: No. 1—Amherst. No, 2—Massachusetts Agricaltaral. No. 3—Yale. No. 4—Harvard. No. 5—Columbia. No. 6-—Wesleyan. No. 7—Wilttams. No, 8—Dartmouth, No. 9—Trinity. No. 10—Bowdoin. No, 11—Oornell. ‘Thus it will be seen that the old rivals—Harvard and Yale—are to contest side by side, and, while there is scarcely any comparison ip ability between the magenta and the blue, their movements will be watched with especial interest. The Cornell crew, which in the morning was ranked fully on a par with the best, and was unanimously assigned to the first four, has unfortunately drawn a po. sition in which her rivals coniess it is next to impossible to win. Scarcely more fear is to be attached to the shallowness of the water than to the danger of fouling with the Bowdoin crew, who have displayea some of the most erratic move- ments of any on the river, and a foul with them is not at all improbable. it is universally lamented im the hotels to-night that a crew with so much solid bee! should be literally crowded off the river The two Amherst crews will pull side by side, and the Classicals will have full opportunity to vent their spleen upon the “Aggies,” but it is very cer- tain that they wiil not outrow their rivais, THR FRESHMAN CREWS then drew, and will start with the following posi- tions :— No. 1—Amherst ; No, 2—Yale; No. 3—Harvard. They will start from stake boats Nos. 3, 5and7 respectively. THE COLORS, At the conclusion of these preliminaries the cap- tain of each crew formally announced the colors under which his six will pull in the great contest, ‘The dress of each will be as follows:— Amherst—Nos. 1, 2 and 3, counting from the stroke, with purpie handkerchiefs; Nos. 4, 5 and 6, white handkerchiefs, No. 6, bow oarsman, having a large letter A on the back of his shirt.

SPRINGFIRLD, Mass., Juiy 16, 1873. We have rather dead wood on old Solomon, tor the race was to the swilt this @ternoon, at single sculls, for the Coliege Championsnip, and he of that name trom Yale did everlastingly wallop his burly rival from Cornell, for this latter was no other tham the famons Dutton, of the crew which had made so many people believe it would win the race of the movrow. Swit isa weak, skinny- armed, boyish-looking Yale man, and Dutton cer- tainly looked fit to row a cat and mouse race with him ail the way. Not that the former was not in good condition for a fellow of his make, but there seemed no comparison between uum and his rival in strength. HUNTING FOR THR CONTESTANTS. At five o'clock, the time set for the raee, there were but @ few scattered about the head of the track, and things did not look very much like an intercollegiate race. 1 found = Mr. Swift hanging about among a few fellows on shore stripped, while a friend was paddling his shell about near the starting point add two Solitary men—Coulter, the trainer, ana Dutton—lay idiy on the Columbia float, a quarter of a mile above.

Old Hank Ward was soon prevailed upon; and at 6h. 2m. 203, he got them om. Switt settled down at once to 39 ® min- ute, and rowed very cleanly, while he sat his poat admirably. Dutton went away on 40, but he rocked his boat often, seemed ill at ease, and Swit was leaving him \d over fist at every stroke. At the half-mile Swit was still living up to his really remarkable 40, while his antagon st could do bat 36, and so it went on, Swift doing his work cleanly and coolly, while the other man tired, fell badly belind and grew unateady until he crossed the line, Swilt having gone over a minute ahead of Dutton, in what is reported to have been 14m. 458, bus there is much doubt on this point, as no villcial time was taken. WILLIAM BLAIKIE. THE BASE BALL MATCH. —- The Boston Nine Beat the Athletics of Philadelphia by 21 to 13. SPRINGPIRLD, July 16, 1873, The base ball contest between the Boston and Atnletic nines drew a crowd of nearly three tnou- sand people to the Hampden Park this afternoon. It was a game played by professionals, who came to make money out of the affair, and cared noth ing of the future of college boating. I fall to see what connection the game has with sperts of the college men, These séte days are understood to be for the development of a better class of athietes among men who devote the burden of their lives to other occupations. Regarding the merits of the game, however, it may be said that the Athletics did the best fleiding and the Bostons the best battimg. In the sixth inning Messra. Wright and Rogers made a handsome double play; both catchers did well. Clapp was rather best. Barnes, of the Bostons, and Clapp and Murnan, of the Athletics, did the best patting. The umpir- ing did not give pli satisfaction. ‘The following is the:— SCORE, 0. R. 0 RB 24 os £4 41 pe 5 1 8 3 ae ' 41 31 toi 22 41 1 8 Schater ae 3 1 Marry Wright, 43 -,27 13.

The Competitors for the Bennett Chal- lenge Cup—The Nam: and Colleges of the Men—Their Training and Expeeta- tions—Cornell’s Fall Representation. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 16, 1873. One of the most interesting events on to-mor- row’s programme will be the two-mile race for the Bennett Challenge Cup. This event will be run at ten A. M. sharp, and, judging from the men who have entered, the race will be ciosely and weil contested. If notice had been given about six weeks earlier of the existence of such @ prize there would have been at least a dozen starters, and, as it 1s, there will probably be six, or at least five, at the post. The distance of two miles requires condition in order to cover it im fast time, and many good runners were 80 out of form that they concluded to lay over umtil next year rather than risk a defeat after five or six days’ work. The race will be run on the half-mile track in Hampden Park, where there is every accommodation for spectators. The referee will be given fall power vo decide all questions of jostling or foul running, but with so few starters he will probably not be troubied. THE ENTRIES FOR THE RACE. The following gentlemen have entered for the Challenge Cup:—Otis B. Benton, Amherst Univer- sity; Duncan &. Bowie, McGill University; George F. Dudly, Cornell University; Henry D. Lawrence, Dartmouth University; Edward |. Phillips, Cor- nell University; R. Shehan, Harvard University, As this will be the first annual race of the kind and the competitors have had no time for training, fast time can hardly be expected; but I shogld pot be astonished to see the Winter cover the two Bailes under 10m. 40s, “Ste. 4 FIRST ON THR LIST, Mr. Otis B.
