MIE ENGLISH CONSERVATIVES Progress of the Great Party Struggle for Place and Power, Can Disraeli Regain and Re- tain the Ministry ? The Sympathy of the Nation Ad- verse to Tory Conservatism. POLITICAL HISTORY SINCE 1832. ‘The political history of Great Britain since 1832 Proves what has been repeatedly stated in the HERALD, that no Ministry formed and conducted em what are known as conservative party priuci- ples can have anything more than a temporary ex- istence in Engiand, Their supporters may possess More decided personal advantage in the reputation of talent, but the national sentiment will most cer- tainly revolt against measures that look to retro- gression rather than towards advancement. The conservatives may be strong enough to obtain and keep hold of power, but they are impotent for an effective use of it, If, as it is likely, Mr. Disraeli secures a majority of supporters in the next House of Commons, he and they can attend to the or- @inary details of a¢ministration, which can quietly take its course, but beyond that the conservatives ean do nothing either for great public or party purposes. They can as long as they remain in of- fice exercise thelr functions in arresting the prog- Tess of tne spirit of change. It is not likely, how. ‘ever, that in a great nation like England the peo- ple will be content with a policy of mere inaction and that the measures needed to meet many press- ing necessities will be allowed to be dealt with in the interest of privileged classes and with the lights of a century ago. CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION TO REFORM. ‘The conservative party with its leader, Mr. Dis- Faeli, finds tault with all the schemes of justice and reform carried out during the past five years by the jiberals, and they certainly fought ably and vigorously against their passage. The income tax, always an obnoxious tax, which Mr, Gladstone proposes to abolisn should, according to Mr. Dis- racli, be continued; and the disestablishment of the Irish Church is still bemoaned as a national evil by him and his friends, So of other measures, including the introduction of the bailot, Since 1832 there have been at different periods Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Derby and Mr. visraeli at the head of affairs in England, Only on two occasions have the con- servatives appealed to the country—the first in 1835, Wien! they obtained a majority of the Com- mons; but Sir Robert Peel soon tound himself in a minority, and had to resign. During the progress of that campaign, which was the first after the passage of the Reform bill, which they done every- thing possible in their power to defeat, Sir Robert Peel had indeed declared that he would not seek to repeal it if he gained power; but if an attack ‘was made on it by any other person he would un- @oubtedly employ ali his official influence in favor of the assailant. The Duke of Wellington had pro- tested against it as as a measure dangerous to the Crown, and, holding that opinion, he was bound to endeavor to repealit. Their term of office was too brief to allow the experiment to be made. AN ACTIVE POLICY FATAL TO THE CONSERVATIVES. In the speeches delivered just lately the views of some of Mr, Disraeli’s supporters in- icate that in the event of success attempts in one form or another will be made to modify or change the most important legislation since 1868 A new Ministry must have some policy and a conserva- tive policy cannot fail to be unpopular. Irish university education will be a topic for immediate consideration, but as the Irish Catholic hierarchy have given up all hopes of having their demands recognized by the English government and have fo onimthe work of establishing a university for themselves, they will have little or nothing to gay relative to any measure Mr. Disraeli, if at the head of affairs, may propose. All they ask now is tobeletalone. But in any event any positive or party measures of the conservatives, and they will soon find themselves in @ minority, will undoubt- edly arouse opposition as stated above. If they secure power and mean to retain it it must be by promising an entirely inactive course and by merely letting the government run in its ordin- ary grooves. A sketch of the different changes in the English government since 1832 is appended, which will show now briei has been the term con- servative Ministers have remained in office aiter having attained it. THE FIRST REFORM PARLIAMENT. The Reiorm act was carried alter a prolonged contest, in 1832, and at the general election that followed the whigs, as ge ad nave been expected, had a large majority in the Parliament that met the following year. Lords Grey, Brougham and Paimerston held the highest offices in the Ministry. Ireland was at this time in a most deplorable con- dition owing to continued ill government, and a bill was passed by which the authorities were armed with extraordinary powers to put down the violence and commotion that covered the country with confusion. In 1834 it was proposed to renew the Coercion act and add to it more astringent provisions. The right of assemblage in any uumber, no Matter how small, was to be Made a penal offence, and trial by jury was to be guspended—courts martial to take its place, O'Connell, who was then a great power ih | the land, opposed with great force the passage of the act. ‘‘lalk, forsooth,” said he ina speech in the House of Commons, “of the subjugation of Poland by Prussia. Poland has nothing to show equal to the tale of burnings, murder, bloodshed and degradation which England has been inflict. ing on Ireland for 700 years, and the sell-same course was still pursucd.”’ ‘The bill passed the Commons, but was withdrawn in the Lords, Lords Grey and Brougham resigned and a new Ministry was formed with Lord Melbourne at its head, This ‘Was short lived. Sir Robert Peel was called upon to form a Cabinet, which he did, having among his. associates the Duke of Wellington and the Eari of | Aberdeen. A dissolution and general election fol- lowed early in 1835, A CONSERVATIVE SUCCESS IN 1835. ‘The House of Commons elected under the excite- | ment of the Reform biil of 1832 was so strongly ‘Whig that all opposition was hopeless. And just as st this moment the country began to think it Would seem that there was more need of rein than of spur in travelling on the road ofreform. The result of the elections put an end to any hope | which the whtgs might have entertained of driv- ing Peel's conservaiive Ministry from office. In- stead of increasing their nembers it brought an | addition 01 over 100 members to the conservatives. | To retain their preponderance the whigs of the late Parliament had only to hold the seats of which they were in possession; the conservatives, in order tee gh themseives on anything like equal | ground, had to perform the more difficult task of ousting an opponent and returning one of them- gelves; but whereever this could be accomplished 2t was a gain of two votes. With the exception of London, the conservatives were successful in a large majority of the boroughs, SIR ROBERT PEEL RESIGNS. The new Parliament had hardly organizea when the whigs determined to bring forward the ques- tion of tl @ appropriation of the surplus revenues ofthe Irish Church for the benedt of Vatholics as well as Protestants. Their apphcation to educa- tional purposes was the object in view. The Min- Astry was defeated on this measure by @ majority | of twenty-seven, end Sir Robert Peel resigned, after holding office only @ few months. Lord Mel- bourne returned to power in consequence, with a Feconstructed Cabinet. In respect to Sir Robert Peel no one could question his superior fitness, Doth as a speaker and a man of business, to con- duct the government beyond any of his contempo- raries, but his party was unwilling to part with the old landmarks. The balance of party strength in 1885 was singularly nice and even. The whigs had a small superiority In the House of Commons, but, the Crown and the Lords were decidedly in favor of their adversaries, The strength of one Fags’ lay 1n 1835, as it did in 1868, in the cities and towns; that of the other in the counties, and the result Was that the Ministers could do nothing for party purposes, PARLIAMENTS UNDER TH PRESENT REIGN. _ The weak, but well-intentioned, William LV. died 4n 1837, and Queen Victoria was proclaimed. Par- Mament, according to law usage, was dis- solved. By the end of July the elections for Eug- lish boroughs were over, and it appeared as re- garded them the relative strength ot parties were little changed. The Melbourne Ministry continued to hold office until 1841, when Sir Robert Peel cat- ried a resolution declaring the House had no conti- dence in the government. Lord John Russell at once announced their intention to dissolve Parila- ment. The new House, on a test juestion, showed a a ot ninety-one againat the Ministry, and sir bert Peel Once more returned to power: ‘When the Parliament elected in 1841 was dissolved, six years later, Lord Jolin Russell was at the head of affairs. The latter, having been defeated in 1852 Op a vote On 8 militia bill, resigned and was suc- ceeded by Lori Derby. The result of the general election that followed did not appear to alter ma- teriajly the general strength of parties, It be- came evident belore it concluded that there would not at allevents be such a decisive majority in favor of the restoration of protection to agricul. ture, which bad been the avsorbing public ques. tion for years befyre, a8 Would juBiY the govern. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. ment in attempting to reverse its policy of free trade, LORD PALMERSTON’S POPULARITY. mur tart Goran's eastch vant 2 the Uhidese, war, determined To advise the Crown Gissolve Parliament. It had held five sessions and nad seen three admnistrations—the admin- istration which had called it together, the admin- ion which followed, and the administration Lord Paimerston was opposed to an immediate dissolution, as it was necessary 00 dis- pose of considerable public business, Mr. Disraeli approved of the course of the government, since it would be to the advantage of the country is members should be returned entertaining definite opinions, The result of the general elections in 1857 was, a8 had been anticipated, the return of an imer dd majority of members to support the ad- ministration o/ Lord Palmerston. The regollection that he had carried the ory. successiully through the Crimean war, and the marvellous energy of spirit that seemed proof against the m- firmities oF Sdvancing years, made his name a rallying cry at the polls, The result was the elec. tuuon of a very powerlud phalanx of government supporters, while those members of the liberal party who had stood aloof or had shown a spirit uniriendly toward the great Parliamentary chief found that even their popular reputations were insufiicient to secure their return for the constitu- encies that nad formerly supported them. CONSERVATIVE MEASURE OF REFORM, ‘The great point on which popue interest centred in 1859, involving the fate of the Ministry, was the promised measure of Parliamentary reform. Lord Derby now held the seats of office. Mr. Disraeli was Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in March sketched the plan which the Ministry nad adopted for enlarging the representation of the people. The measure was deleated by a majority of thirty- nine, After the result was announced the Chan- cellor stated that his colleagues would recommend an early dissolution of Parliament, ‘the Ministers, he thought, had reaecemed their peo by the in- troduction of the bill, and held themselves free on that ground, He was not afraid to go to the husungs on the question, for the proposed measure was & large and liberalone. It was not, however, ssid Mr. Disraeli, on the Reform question only that he appealed to the country, put he appealed to them as Englishmen and lovers of fair play whetner they could sanction the overthrow of a government which had been defeated, not by fair Parliamentary opposition, but by what he called an ingenious manwuvre. QUIET GBNERAL ELECTION, The newly elected Parhament met on the 31st of May, 1869, and a debate on the conduct of the Min- istry was regarded 48 a trial of strength. Ona division the Ministry was placed ina minority of filteen, and Lord Palmerston succeeded to office. Another general election took place in 1865, the preceding Parliament having sat for six consecu- tive sessions. No event of the kind occurred un- der circumstances Of as little excitement as can be expected to attend the choosing by a great na- tion of its representative body. It was not, in the common sense of the term, an “appeal” to the constituencies, for there Was no prominent ques- tion or pending controversy which the voters were called upon to dccide—no definite issue to be tried, no election cry to stimulate party zeal in 1865. ‘the late Parliament had expired by lapse of time, and a new House was required to be chosen according tolaw. Lord Palmersto n presented his claims or a continuance of the sup- ea of the country with contidence, appealing to he success of his efforts in maintaining peace and to the triumphant result of his financial and com- mercial oor The interest of the election mally centred on the contest ior the University of Oxford, where Mr, Gladstone was threateued with a formidable opposition by the supporters of Mr. Gathorne Hardy, The polling continued tive days and Mr. Gladstone suffered defeat. ‘Thus re- jected, as Sir Robert Peel had been before him, by the University o! Oxiord, he at once resolved to appeal to another constituency. The representa- tion of South Lancashire was still open, and, though elected in that Gistrict in 1865, he was de- feated by the same constituency in 1868, when Mr. Gladstone had to seek a home at Greenwich, which has just re-elected him by a small majority. ‘THE LAST REFORM ACT. ‘The general result of the elections in 1865 was favorable to the liberal party and gave addition to the strength of Ministers in the House of Com- mons. It had a majority of seventy-seven. ‘the death of Lord Palmerston brought Earl Russell to the head of the Ministry. The important position of leader of the government in the House of Com- mon devolved upon the most eloquent and gifted of its members, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and one requiring the highest power of intellect, which Mr, Gladstone undoubtedly possesses, but also the attributes of tact, adrdéitness and know- ledge of the world in a conspicuous degree. The political history of the year 1866 turned upon the question of Parliamentary Reform, ‘This one sub- ject absorbed a very large portion of the time and almost the whole cnergies of tne House of Commons, it bronght about a change of administration, it unsettled the relatious of parties and caused considerable popular excite- ment, and though no result was reached it yet Produced @ conviction that some alteration in theg representative system was inevitable and only a question of time. It was effected two years later. It devolved on Mr, Gladstone to introduce and conduct through the House the measure, of which notice was given at the beginning of the session, ‘The total number of votes to be added to the con- stituencies in England and Wales under the bill was estimated at 400,000. The reception the measure met With atits first promulgation was somewhat ambiguous. By members o1 decidedly liberal opinions it was welcomed with much satis- faction as a fair and honest meusure. On the other hand, the bill was vigorously denounced as a@ democratic and dangerous measure. Occupying an intermediate position between tue two was a section of the liberal party Known as “ADULLAMITES, comprising some very able and Soguent speakers, among whom Mr. Lowe and Mr. Horsman were conspicuous, Who manifested at the outset a strong disapprovation of ihe government measure and regarded it asa step im the direction o1 de- mocracy which was fraught with dangerous con- sequences, ‘this section of the House became much distinguished in the debates which alter- wards took place on the bili, and the divisions in the liberal party which arose from their opposi- tion contributed more than any other cause to tue ultimate overthrow of the goveruinent. ‘The Min- istry was defeated on @ proposition of making rating the basis oi franchise in the voroughs by a majority of eleven in a house of 619 members, only thirty-eight being absent. Marl Russell and his Ministry resignedy and Earl,Derby, with Mr. Dis- ; raeli as Chancellor, succeeded them tn June, 1866. The country was not in a Satisfactory condi- tion at this time. The shock given to trade and the stagnation of enterprise en- gendered by the failures of 1866 continued through the following year their paralyzing influence, while the fears caused by the Fenian movement in Ire- land threw a dark cloud upon the general aspect ot affairs. The disquietude occasioned by the pro- ceedings of this organization haa extended to Kng- land, perplexing the minds of politicians and plicating tne problem so long found insoluble of the pacification of Ireland. Lord Stanley in a speech delivered at a banquet given at Bristol to er Majesty’s Ministers, January 22, 1868, spoke of te urgency of the case of Ireland. CAUSE OF THE DISSOLUTION IN 1868. “It 18 one,” he said, “which I suppose at the present moment is hardly ever absent irom the mind of any person who takes part in public affairs. I mean the paintul, the dangerous, and to us, in appearance at least, the discreditable state of things that exists in Ireland. It is perfectly clear that if there ig to be any legislation atlecting the social position of the various parties in Ireland, such legislation ought not to be the work of a dying Parliament returned @ constituency Which Is itsell about to be consider- ably modified.” The English Reform bill had passed the year before, and the Irish and scotch measures were passed into laws—all under the auspices of Mr. Disraeii, Who had now, in 1868, become Prime Minister, in consequence of the retirement of the Earl of Derby, Whose health began to fail, and a dissolution ‘took place. The Parliament then elected, as is known, was largely liberal and sus- tained Mr. Gladstone. Its successor is now in course of being chosen. CONSERVATIVE WANT OF PRINCIPLES, ‘The conservative party in its long career can only lay claim to atding in the passage of a single series Of popular measures of national importance— Ramely, the Reform bills of 1867-68. In fact all parties were in favor of an extension of the franchise seven years ago, the only differences being as to the details. occasions, Mr. Disraeli’s supporters stood up as the Opponents of all attempts to introduce ameliora- trons in existing, abuses, provided they had the sanction of age, and have been consistent, except in the one instance stated, of combating all concessions to the masses. They opposed Catholic emancipation and the removal of Jewish disabil- ities, and continue to resist granting to non-con- forming religions bodies equal privileges before the law with members of the Established Church, Mr, Disraeli, in an address since the dissolution, declared that Engiand was governed by customs as much as by laws, and that she peoe le disliked unnecessary interlerence by @ met ary hy ge tration. Reform measures are styled by the ex- Premier “incessant harassing legislation,” and an allusion to the Reformation 1s Jugged in in order to please the anti-Catholic multitude, Nothing posi- tive hasbeen thus far promised by Mr. Disraeli, and it is on the whole rather evident that the con- servatives with this programme, and taking into consideration the past history ef the party, if suc- cessiul at the polls, could not continue in office very many months. Their term during forty years hardiy ever exceeded twelve months, THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK CITY, The Alumni Association of the medical depart- ment of the University of New York City held its seventh annual meeting last evening at the Fourth avenue Presbyterian church, corner ot Twenty- second street. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the attendance was very amall, the audience being composed for the most part of med- ijeal students. Aiew ladies were present, but the truly and exclusively medical tone of the proceed- ings did not seem to entertain them much. Alired L, Carroll, M. D.

Governor John McEnery, who 1s contesting the right with William Pitt Kellogg to occupy the Ex- ecutive chair, and Messrs. R. H. Marr and Albert ©. Janin, appointed by the People’s Convention to present to Congress the grievances of the conserv- atives of Louisiana, arrived at the Fiith Avenue Hotel yesterday from Washington, and they were visited by & representative of the HeRaxp in the afternoon, The object of the HERALD reporter was to obtain an interview with Governor McEnery, but finding all these gentiemen in room 121 he had A TRIANGULAR TASK before him that, while not a pleasant one, cer- tainly was productive of eliciting many facts upon @ subject in which every American who has read of the Louisiana matter will be inter- ested, Governor McEnery 1s a gentleman whose @ppearance at once suggests to a visitor that beneath that polite exterior there may slumber traits that he is anxious to keep in the back- ground. Mr. Marr’s is one of those faces that indi- cave ability, intelligence and decision of character, Such as one would expect to find leading the Bar of a Southern State, while Mr. Janin, a young gen- tleman, small in stature, seems an enthusiastic adherent of a@ cause which, he believes, is bound to triumph in the end, Avery cordial welcome was given the reporter by the trio, and, after the usual compliments, an interview to the following effect took place :— REPORTER—Governor, it appears as if there are yet bright days for Louisiana—that at last the vor populi is to receive some recognition from Con- gress? Governor McENERY—I certainly think so. Sen- ator Carpenter believes that he will be able to secure the passage of his bill, and—— Mr. JaNin—Whatever action is taken now must be favorable to us, They cannot afford to pass this matter over, Governor McENERY—I think the issue has been raised and that Congress cannot do otherwise than recognize the right of the government elected by the people to be heard, We may not be able to induce Congress to recognize the government we claim to have been elected, but — Mr. JaNIN—I think we will get at least half a loaf. ReEPorTER—U you get half a loaf in the form of a new election you may hope for a — Governor McENERyY—We may get a dozen. I will say here that Senator Carpenter's speech was @ grand effort. He seems to understand the Loul- siana case better than any other man in the United States. Ishould say better than any other man in the Senate or House of Representatives. Mr. JANiN—I constder 1t a masterly exhibit of the case, and Mr. Carpenter has certainly won great credit. Mr. Marr concurred in the opinion of his col- leagues, and stated that Carpenter made a splen- did point, not covered by the report of the Senate committee, relative to Kellogg’s letter to the President and the act of 1795, defining whem the President can interfere. Governor McENERY—It was then that Morton asked Carpenter if he (Carpenter) asserted that the President had acted in violation of law, and Carpenter responded that he had acted without authority of law, if not in violation of it. Mr, JANIN—The question takes @ new form rela- tive to Pinchback’s Claims. t | from going to work tor the house of Rosenbaum & and one-hall of the State Senate; that as the Senate can alone tmpeach the Governor there is no hope in that direction, as the Senators are sap} rs of Kellogg, and even if he were im- peached that very act would legalize the present ernent aud Cesar Antot, the present black utenant Governor, would be the head of that government, Governor McENery (to the reporter)—There is one matter personal to myself that I wish to speak of.

Had I been in Kellogg's place 1 would bave sent up the militia and suppressed the émeute at once. The negroes had control for two weeks, and Mr. Kellogg should have suppressed it on its first in- ception. I was summoned before the United States Grand Jury to testily in this matter, and I stated that I not only knew nothing about the émeute, but I knew none of the parues., Kellogg is cer- tainly responsible for the excesses by his Omission to perform his duty promptly. At this juncture the reporter, who had been an hour ana @ half witli the Governor, retired, and he and his associates assured the writer that, as they would remain at the Fifth Avence Hotel until Monday, they would take pleasure m answering any questions the Northern press might be abx10us to elucidate, THE STRIKES, THE CAPMAKERS! STRIKE. Doings of the Central Union Yesterday— No Arrangement Between Employers and Employed—Intendcd Action on Monday. There was no diminution of interest yesterday iu the proceedings of the Capmakers’ Central Union, The meeting hall, at No. 56 Orchard street, was filled to overfowing. The same speakers and the same themes as on former occasions enlivened the proceedings. The firm of Rosenberg & Patterson gave their consent yesterday to pay the prices asked by the workmem The house of Roll & Meiring (as already | noted in the HERALD) came to terms with the strikers on Thursday last. The strikers claim that the secret meeting held by the manulacturers has failed in its objects, One of the principal movers in that meeting was the house of Marks Brothers & Thompson. ‘This house, | it 18 sald, engaged with the other manufacturers | to maintain the lockout and not accede to the de- mands of the operatives, It is asserted by the | strikers that, while making this Tree- ment with the other manuiacturing firms, Marks Broth & Thompson broke faith with their fellow ‘bosses’ by secretly employing Messrs.

Marks Brothers & Thompson. The meeting, therefore, passed a resolution to prohibit any men Peterman, the alleged agents of Marks Brothers & Thompson, until Monday, In the meantime the operatives intend to have an interview by commit- tee with the leading “bosses” to see what under- standing can be arrived at.

The reason given is that the employers discharged on that day some five or six hands—perhaps two men and three or four women—because they did bad work, using up too much tobacco, &c. The operatives sent a commit- | tee to their employers asking that the discharged tradespeople be put againat work. Mr. Krebs re- ‘used to comply With this demand, saying that em- | ployers were bosses in their own shops, and should say who would and who would not be there.

THE COLLEGE REGATTA. The Next Contest To Be at Saratoga. Meeting of the General Committee at Springfield, Mass. APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS. Princeton Getting Up Her Muscle. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Feb, 6, 1874, The preliminary arrangements for the College Regatta at Saratoga next summer have at length been completed. Just before the adjournment of the American College Rowing Association at Hart- ford, Conn., a committee of twelve—one from each college in the association—was chosen, on motion of Captain RH. Dana, of Harvard, to select a regatta committee of three, in whose hands was to be placed the entire management of the Sara- toga regatta. This step was no doubt suggested by the bad management of last year, when a com- mittee of eleven was found to be unwieldy and ineMcient, and the arrangement of numberless details necessary to secure the complete success of the races was neglected, owing to the diMiculty of getting a majority of the committee together and making its members feel any sense of a responsibility which was so much divided. Captain Dana’s tdea was a good one, and the action of the committee of twelve, which assembled at the Massasoit House | to-day, was limited by his mouon to the appoint- ment of this regatta committee of three, and the election of five judges, none of whom should be undergraduates, LOBBYING FOR SARATOGA. First to arrive on the ground last night wac Mr. John R. Conkling, President of the Saratoga Row- | ing Association, who lobbied so earnestly and spoke so eloquently at Hartford in favor of the Saratoga course. President Conkling interviewed each of the delegates on their arrival, and Har- vard’s man had hardly entered the hotel before Conkling had him by the buttonhole jand was tearfully laboring with nim to dissipate his mind of its cloud of error concerning Saratoga, As it happened, there was time for lobbying, as the members of the committee began to come in on the morning trains. By noon the following gentlemen had arrived:—J. M. Benedict, of the Amherst Agricultural Coliege; C. B. Hubbell, of Williams College; F. R. Appleton, of Harvard; Captain R, J. Cook, of Yale; D. Dorchester, Jr., of the Wesleyan; J. D, McKennon, of Trinity; T. D, W. Thompson, of Columbia, and J, N. Ostrom, of Cornell, leaving Amherst, Dartmouth, Bowdoin and Princeton unrepresented. It was the inten- tion to call the committee together at eleven A. M., but as it was supposed tbat Bowdoin, and pos- sibly some other colleges, might send deiegates on the midday trains, it was decided to wait till alter dinner. MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE. Soon after two o'clock the committee assembled in one of the parlors of the Massasoit House and was called to order by its chairman, Mr. Benedict, of the Amherst Agricultural College. Mr. Apple- ton of Harvard, was chosen clerk, and the roll call showed that the four colleges above named were represented, 1t was at once voted to proceed to the choice of A REGATTA COMMITTEF OF THREB, by the use of the markmg system. ‘This was amended go a8 to mark three Colleges whose rep- | resentatives shonid be allowed to name the three Men, each delegate voting for his college. A | vote was taken with this result:—Harvard, 7; Yale, 7; Wesleyan, 5; Williams, 1; Columbia, 1. | The first three being chosen, ELECTION OF JUDGES. The aecision with regard to five judges were | similarly ascertained, each delegate casting five | | ballots, and the vote standing:—Wililams, 7; Cornell, 6; Colambia, 6; Trinity,-6; Aggies, 4; Wes- leyan, 2; Yale, 2; Harvard, 1, and Dartmouth, 1. ‘The first five’ colleges were theretore entitied to the choice, but Mr. Benedict, in behalf of Aggies,” stated they did not expect to participate in the regatta and that some other college ought there- fore to be selected, Bowdoin was accordingly substitutea for the Amherst Agricultural, but as no delegate was present its choice for judge was not announced, A REFEREE NOMINATED, Mr. Dorchester, of the Wesleyan College, nominated William Wood, of New York, for reieree, and Mr. Cook, of Yale, cordially seconded the nomination, saying that although he no personal acquaintance with Wood, he knew him as author of some splen- — did works on physical culture, a leading member of the Young Men’s Christian Association of New York and a fair and square man. As there was | some doubt whether the delegates had authority to choose a referee, Mr. Hubbell moved to make the choice subject to the approval of the accept- ance by the captains. ‘This was agreed to and Mr. Wood was unanimously chosen. A regatta ball committee was selected in the game manner as the judges, and the full list of the | appointments made is as follows, the regatta com- bolo and judges being, without exception, grad- ates :— Regatta Committee—C. H. Ferry, of Yale; Grinnel Wiillts, ot Harvard, and J. B, Thomas, of Wesleyan, Judges—P, C, Chandler, of Williams; J. H. Broc lesby, of Trinity; D, R. Moore, of Columbia, and R. Anderson, of Cornell, Referee—William Wood, of New York. Regatta Bali Committee—R. J. Cook, of Yale; F. R. Appleton, of Harvard; George R. Allerton, of Co- lumbia; C. B. Hubbell, of Williams.

PREPARATIONS AT PRINCETON, The New Contestant for Aquatic Honors Getting Up Her Muscle for the Sara- toga Contest. PRINCETON, Feb, 6, 1874. About four years ago a little meeting, compre- hending altogether but eight young men, was held at Princeton, in room 24, West College. The gen- tiemen invited thither were entirely unaware of the purport of the call, but at the same time rep- | resented the physical boast and flower of the uni- | J, too, belleve that Warmoyh 18 sincerely in favor of | The “puddiers” In the rolling mull of Cooper, | VeTsity.

To the occasional visitor this channel seems but @ quiet, foul and stagnant ditch, @ blotch upon the green and picturesque | landscape, and the iast place upon earth for the successful training of even an amateur crew. In due time the two six-oared shells, purchased from the Yale navy, arrived, and one of them, manned by six young oarsmen, was set afloat. A hundred yards of very ridiculous and irregular rowing caused the leaky old craft to sink, and | rendered it necessary for her crew to swim to shore, The result of this first attempt to establish rowing os a general recreation among the students was, for the next few days, the pet subject of ridienle, and formed the theme of gossip among the principal societies and clubs, The authors of this undertaking, however, had enlisted too much money in the enterprise to The other five | ae rashly give it up, and earnestly persevered in their efforts to succeed, The second boat proved to be an excellent one, and its crew, after cone stant practice, and daily exercise in the gymna- sium under an accomplished trainer, learned to handle the oars remarkbly well. THE BOATHOUSE at this time was @ wagon shed attached to an old barn, and distant from the canal fully half a mile, The hill upon which it was situated sloped precip- itously down to the water and the boys, in order to enjoy a row, were obliged to carry those twa heavy and awkward craft from the barn two the canal upon their backs. Daily these few enthust+ astic oarsmen performed their dificult work, an also placed the two boats at the service o| their teliow students, After @ few months? experience it was jearned that the cana Was not as narrow as it appeared to be, and that 4 gig manned with a crew of six could easily per- form What at frst sight appeared an impossible Jeat—namely, that of passing a large canal boat or @ steam propeller without the necessity of shipping their oars, One by one new members joined the original five, until the club grew strong enough to build a boathouse of its own and increase its navy by liberal personal subscriptions; so that even a6 that time what had at first been the subject of Contempt and ridicule showed commendable signs of forcing itself favorabi 4 Princeton College sports, Re ORAL Om Two years ago the members of the so-called “rowing association” requested their fellow stu- dents to assist them in entering the lists for the amateur regatta to be held at Philaaelphia. ‘The call was responded to, but only to tue extent neces- sary to purchase a four-oared paper shell, the tran: portation of the boat and all the expenses of the trip devolving upon the four young men who con- stituted the crew. So quietly aid the crew arrive at Philadelphia, so entirely unexpected was their advent, so young were the men composing it, and so slight were the chances of success, ‘that it assed in the pools all unmentioned, and, indeea, ut few were aware ofits representation. At the hour of the race there was general surprise, The crew worked with remarkable strength, until even Josh Ward, in a moment of enthusiam, cried out:— “Good Heavens! just look at those boys, there |’? The members who composed the crew had never rowed in a race before, and, owing to excitement and wild steering, sacrificed their apparentenance for victory, but at the same time strengtiened their cause, and laid the way to their present aa- vanced position, As was announced in a recent issue of the HRRALD, Princeton College found repre- sentation at the Inter-Collegiate Regatta this sea- son for the first time. A few representatives of New England institutions vigerously challenged her privilege for entrance, but after no little discus- sion she found her proper place; hence the above facts concerning the formation of her crew and the circumstances which brought about her represen- tation at the convention may possibly be of no little interest to those other crews against which she is likely to contend. In THE INITIATORY STEPS FOR THE COMING SARATOGA REGATTA Princeton is showing commendable vigor and ac: tivity. Previous to the call issued for the conven- tion she had quietly selected a group of men, Irom which she will ultimately pick her crew, and placed them under seyere and rigorous training in the gymnasium. No sooner had Princeton announced her intention ot struggling for aquatic laureis than Mr, Robert Bonner Mrwarded a check to the amount of $2,000 for the erection of @ more commodious and perfect boathouse. Thereupon the freshman class called a meeting and subscribed $1,000 to train and equip a regular class crew, while the other classes stand ready to ive their aid whenever there is a necessity 1or ad- tional iunds. In addition to the above I am in- jormed that several hundred dollars have been quietly given by donors who do not care at present to have their names announced; so that it seems the college has almost enough money al- ready to cover all possible expenses, and therefore turns her attention directly to her crew, ‘The ground for the new boathouse has just been selected, and the plans for the latter are now under vonsideration. THE NAVY AT PRESENT consists of six excellent boats, which are aH that can possibly be accommodated in the present, | boathouse. In the college gymnasium a number of rowing weights have been placed, which are con- structed upon an entirely new plan and which de- serve especial mention. In these weights the full power, length and feathering of the desired stroke are obtamed, while any deviation trom the stroke produces what corresponds to “catch- ing acrab’ in the water. A number of men, as | above stated, are engaged in constant practice, and your correspondent a few evenings since was enabled to see them when undergoing exercise. THE MEN are quite young, and perhaps a little light, but for ayearor two past have undergone the regular and very perfect gymnastic training of the college, and constant exercise in the open air, 50 that they carry but littie superfiuous flesp, and have acquired already sulticient muscular development to serve as a very good basis lor future work. ‘The Executive Committee of the Princeton Row- ing Association have the entire direction and care of these men, and mark out ior them the hours and means of their practice. At the rowing weights they appear to do _ quite | but, aside trom these, they are daily directed to increase their strength by curling the dumb-bells, swinging the clubs and by engaging in other exercises caiculated to strengthen ;he arms, chest atid shoulders, and general powers of endurance. Independent of the ireshMan crew, there are twelve men training, from which six will be selected for the universliy crew. While these are not the heaviest and strongest men which could have been chosen, their stature, weight and strepgiu are so unilorm as to be redlly remarkable. ‘rheir ages, too, average hearly the same, while the early moment in which ‘they have determined to act, and the apparent en- thusiam with which they proceed to work, cer- tainly, barring accidents and some ridiculous ae- cree oi the laculty, Must put them in good trim for the race. In the meantime there isa GENERAL INTEREST manifested among all the students concerning aquatics, and large bodies of young men daily as- semble in the gymnasium to wituess the regular traiing of the crew. Iv is very probable that anew leature will be added to Saratoga sports this year. Some time ago Princeton submitted to Yale a paper advising all colleges to withdraw f ae ue Amateur Base Ball Association and es- ablis }) _ AN INTER-COLLEGIATE BASE BALI, ASSOCIATION, | Which should yearly contend at the place appointed for the regatta tor the college championship. | Yale endorsed the movement, and the paper 1s | now going the “round” of all te colleges, so there | is but little doubt that Saratoga will this year be | the scene of the contest for the honors of the bat as well as for those of the oar. Princeton at pres- ent holds the championship, having defeated Har- vard last year in the contest for the same by the splendid score of three against two. A great deal o( feeling is manifested here against the withdrawal of Amherst from the race at Sara- toga, which is considered as babyish aud small: KINGS COUNTY INEBRIATES’ HOME.
