COLUMBIA’S HEROES. Enthusiastic Reception of the Vic- torious Oarsmen. The Scene at the Grand Central Depot. ro TRIUMPHE. ‘The reception accorded yesterday to the victori- e@us Columbia crew was worthy the great racing event of 1874 and the institution to which they be- Jong and to which they have orought renown. It ‘was a hearty’whole-souled ovation, of which de- Nght and enthusiasm formed the component parts, and if ever oarsmen were stirred to deeds of en- ferprise and skill the spectacle yesterday. was well calculated to inspire a spirit of rivalry and ambi- tion which cap never fall of good results, That the students of Columbia College should ex- tend to their gallant champions a joyous welcome on their return from a glorious contest was only natural, but there can be little doubt that the affectionate demonstrations made on their behalf will be heartily appreciated throughout at least the length and breadth of the Empire State. True, the reception was of an informa) character, but it Was none the less enthusiastic and sincere for all that, and will long be cherished among the pleas- antest associations of Columbia College. The non- arrival of the crew on Monday had contributed m a degree to give the proposed reception some publicity, and accordingly the Grand Central depot and vicinity was thronged yesterday after- moon by an eager and joyous embiage, mostly composed of graduates of the college. The com- Mittee appointed to receive the crew took up their station inside the depot shortly before two o'clock. and when the colors of the club were unfurled the band struck up some lively and appro- priate airs. Meanwhile the crowd on Forty-second street had swelled to con- siderable proportions, a conspicuons object being the blue and white ribbons or rosettes, DOW rendered so famous, and with which three-fourths of the people assembled were decorated. Con- trary to expectation the train was on time, and when, at forty minutes past two, the Saratoga special dashed into the depot, a cheer arose that made the welkin ring, The winning boat was strapped to the top of the baggage car, which was handsomely decorated, while the special car conveying the crew was adorned with Neatly arranged knots of blue and white, the name “Columbia” being displayea on each side of the car. Amid the strains of “Hail to the Chief” the triumphant oarsmen step- ped wo the platiorm, and the exultant roar that greeted their appearance was enough to make the snorting iron horse jump irom the track. The oars were then passed out, and aiter them the colors, the sight of which was the signal for one wild burst of enthusiasm. The music was inaudi- ble, and it was not without some dificulty that order was restored, so that the procession could be formed. The crew were conducted to a gatly dec- orated barouche, from which they duly bowed their acknowledgments for the welcoming shouts that arose around them. The processton, headed by the band, moved up Forty-second street; but when near Fifth avenue a halt was made to un- Ritch the horses, and, attaching ropes to the barouche, the graduates drew it along amid great cheering and other demonstra- tions of delight, The Reception Commit- tee carried Columbia’s boathouse flag on an oar, the band meanwhile striking up “Here’s Good Old Columbia.” The crew looked remarkably well and bore their honors with be- coming modesty. The procession moved up Fifth avenue and proceeded to Columbia College, the houses in front of wnich were appropriately deco- rated witn the colors of the club. The barouche Was drawn up in front of the balcony at the col- lege, When President Barnard aelivered an ad- dress. PROFESSOR BARNARD’S REMARKS. Professor Barnard on coming Jorward was re- ceived with cheers, He saia:—Gentiemen vars- men, victors of the most remarkable regatta ever rowed in American waters, I pid you welcome back to your academic halls. Icongratulate you most heartily upon the splendid victory you have won and upon the lustre you have shed upon the name of Columbia College. (Cheers.) Now this large assembly which Isee before me will bear me ‘witness that we have always known that we have here the brains which are capable of holding their own against those of any academic or collegiate or university institution in the United States, or in the world. (Cheers.) But you, gentlemen, have shown us that we have also here the bone and the muscie which can hold their own against the stout- est crew thatever turned out upon this Continent, (Cheers.) We have heard it said, and our news- rs have recently printed the statement, that protessionals can outrow academic oarsmen. Alter your performance—I don’t speak of your victor, over your competitors—but aiter your maguiti- | cent ‘victory against time, I think no pro- fessional oarsmen can outrow you. Cheers.) 1 thank you most cordially, youn en- tlemen, for my own part. I than ou for the faculty of the college. I thank you for both facuities and for all the faculties ior the magnill- cent service you have done to this institution in the labor and in the triumph of this summer. believe tuat although, as | have said just now, we | have had the mind and the brain here to beat that | of any other institution, as we have had men here of that position for the last century, still be- | lieve also that in one day, or at least fm one summer, you have done more to make Columbia College known than all your edecessors have done since the foundation of the college by this great triumph. (Cheers.) I suppose that a month ago very little was known about ‘ou—much less than there ought to have been. "o-day, on tue banks of the Thames and the Seine, in Bombay, Calcutta and Hong Kong (laughter), | indeed wherever the telegraph cable extends, the existence of Ovlumbia College is Known | and respected. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, | I don’t think the act of possessing a | half dozen able young men is in itsell sufficient to create the reputation ofa college or of any other inetitation, but you cannot have that hali-dozen young men without having the institution capable Of producing them, and the very tact that we Lave them shows also the existence of the fact that we have a great many more of them and that our in- stitution is capable of proaucing such men; and, — thereiore, your triumph is not a triumph of Bix = young but 1 is a proof t Columbia College 18 in every respect able to hold its own, and is capable of ivcautal eqdal merit in every human eifort, whether mental or physical. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, you have so m: other iriends who would like to talk to you and bid you welcome that Ido not propose to Occupy your time much further. I came forward simpiy to bid you welcome—(cheers)—and to ex- press to you the personal gratification I have re- ceived from the result of this splendid viotory. And now let me assure you, in the name of the Faculty and the Board of Trustees, whom 1 represent, that it will be their pleasure ‘to aid and assist you in carrying forward anything that may tend to the physical development of the students. They will stimulate and encourage you in your endeavors, and, having accomplished 80 much yourselves—having fixed yourselves in the hearts of your fellow citizens—ask for what you ‘want and they will grant it. (Cheera.) The procession then formed in line and pro- ceeded to the Windsor Hotel, at which a large as semblage bad congregated. It was here the in- formal reception was to be held, and in a twinkling the pariors were thronged to repletion, THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Mr. Coudert, in delivering the {address of wel- come, said:—Gentlemen of the college crew and victors of the battle of Saratoga, it has been said that I must welcome you, but it seems to me that there is something Oo! weicome better than any words I could express in the sea of 1aces you have now belore you. It is satd that you drew the crowd and it 1s quite as true that the crowd drew you— (cheers and laughter) —tor if there is aby Way in which the enthusiasm oi that crew could be bet- Yer manifested I would like to know it. I confess tt, and i say it to my shame, that much as I love you for the triumph of Saratoga, my enthusiasm did NOt quite go to the extent of putting myself in the lace of the horses, There it stopped short. At same time I think that there is no one w the crowd better fitted to welcome you than l. Man, could say more, but none could feel more than do, and that must have been the quality which was recognized and induced the committee to select me as their spokesman. You have done what we all consider a great thing. Youmay call it your vic- ‘nd your triumph, but we call it our victory our triumph. (Cheers.) The boasting is not yours alone, As sons of Columbia we caught the SBE ber Tejoicing, believing, a8 we did, that race was rowed and won honestly. The effect of that victory you should ha mn here to ap- late. Even old Fat Manimon, in Wall street, had to hide his face for the nonce; Le ar no worshippers, and the hearts NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. men m wan sree, anmindral or prece- dent, should bave forgotten then what they were made for and will die for—the money beer (Laughter.)

(Laughter.) And if ever I am w make an ad- dress of welcome again when he is about I will speak first, (Langhier,) yer I cannot belp thinking that 1t was not a right thing entirety for you to win this race. (Laugh- ter.) According to all mathematical computations and according to the result of scientific invesuga- tons you ought to have been beaten, If you had known your duty you would have been beaten, and it does seem to me that 1t was almost quar- relling with the stars and fighting against destiny to make such impertinent and insolent time. (Cheers and laughter.) Why, the whole thing was settled in advance. You had no business to win that race. An _ old doctor, when spoken to about the profession of medicine, used to say that it was better to die according to the rules of art than to live without them. (Laughter). ‘These gentiemen told'us in advance you could not win, that it was impossible. A certain individual, whom you all know of in connexion with modern wariare, said that the word “impossible” was not French, and certainly it does not belong to the vo- cabulary of Columbia College, (cheers » Butyou did win, J did not know you did it, and indeed I could | not have done it better myself—(iaughter)—but | you did it and here you are. You had no tradition to back you, you had no glorious record to look back to, you had no ancestry to boast of, and you must console yourself with the thought, “I am an ancestor myself.” (Cheers and laughter.) And then your wind—why you had no business to have so much wind. You ought to have broken down after the second mile. 1t was settled in advance, and you should not have falsified prophecy. Probably you made a mistake in estimating the distance. (Cheers and laughter.) And now, gentlemen, perhaps some one may kay, why grow 80 wild over acoliege victory? Why, in the recent war the slaughter of ten thousand of our brethren did not give us half the gratification, and I do not think if we killed a hundred thousand buman beings we would be much more satisfied. And yet there 1s some philosophy in (nis enthusiasm. Some of your professors will inform you, and it may be pedantry on my part to mention it, that in the old times— about what many of us know more than we do of modern times, as we know more of the history of these countries than we do of American history— in one of these countries, Greece, where manhood was developed as it never since has Leen, they had their victories, and the victor at the Olympian games was crowned with laurels and feasted and his name celebrated over the whole land, But the triumph was not his only, it was the triumph of the city that gave him birth, {t was a triumph for the city from which he went forth to be @ con- queror, and when he returned the ordinary gate through which the common herd walked in was not sacred enough ior him, and they tore down part of the city wall to let him pass through. And I have yet to learn that the manhood of that country ‘was Dot @ true and genuine manhood; 1 have yet to leara that the muscle and boue aud sinew and self-denial and endurance that made these victors made them worse citizens. Ithink in all this vic- tory there is a rebellion against the state of things that we. have had too jong. We _ have cultivated the brains at the expense of the body long enough, and this victory is made the occasion for the utterance of the sentiment that as the body ig the home created by God for the soul, let us give it a stout and honest residence. (Cheers.) ‘That, 1 think, is one of the lessons we learn from this victory. More, you have taught a good lesson. You have taught that self-denial and endurance and that American college pluck could do what it liked; and if these same energies are turned to other channels, if that gen- erous rivalry which will spring up from your con- test is extended to all the avucations in which Men engage, it will redound to the benefit of the nation. feel it instinct- ively, and reason that ail over this land, wherever the teiegraph has been able to penetrate, your victory has rejoiced and thrilled all; and if we, the sons 01 Columbia, weicome you here, 1t is nol, per- haps, that we feel more strongly than others, but it 48 Our privilege over all others to bid you wel- come. * (Cheers.) And, now that I have devained you go long, let me sum up in one phrase—which Inay be unclassical, but it 1s Compendious. We ail give you what your iriends have failed to give you, and that is—Hatl Columbia! (Cheers and laughter.) VOICES OF THE CREW. Loud calls were then made for the members of the crew. They all manuested a considerable amount of hesitation at making oratorical dis- plays, but nevertheless broke briefly and to the point. Mr. Rees, the stroke, said he would follow the example of President Grant and say nothing at all, An auditor observed that they knew hun by his works, and Mr. Rees observed that was the way in which he wanted to be known. He thanked the audience on behall of the crew, and hoped that Columbia would always come to the front, Messrs. Timpson, Curnell, Rapallo and Goodwin subsequently delivered brie! addresses, each being hailed with vociferous cheers, Mr. Griswold, one of the crew, who was detained at Saratoga, also came in for his share of the general approbation. Captain Moore, Mr. Brown, Professor Dusler and Mr. Harper (one of tne trustees of the college) de- livered appropriate speeches, after which the graduates sung some well known college strains, and, mingling 1M social converse, the evening was spent joyously. The reception was altogetuer a grand success, The Boathouses on the Harlem Deco- rated in Honor of the Winning Uni- versity Crew. i As if to show their appreciation of the pluck, gal- lantry and skill of the Columbias all the buat- honses on the Harlem River yesterday and the day before had the Columbia colors hoisted’ on their several flagstaffs, and the whole of yester- day was employed in completing the decorations of the boathouses in honor of the victors, The Columbia’s own boathouse was handsomely rigged out by hands which per- formed the work of welcome with pleasing antici- | Dations of the Joy the labor performed would af- ford the Colams as they passed them over the rail- road bridge, the victors of a hard won battle. The New York Rowing Club, which counts among its members Wilbur Bacon, one of the best stroke oarsmen Yale ever had, was the first in the line to wear the colors of the pe nme crew; then came the Nassau, its fagstad adorned after the fashion of a Maypole on & good old English holiday. ‘The Atalanta, for the mo- Tent, igid astde its magenta and ran up the azure and white, and the Athletic, never behind in its acknowledgment of prowess, was in no respect behind its neighbors. The Harlem Rowing Club, which sent forth its champion, genial Tom Keator, last year to the same Saratoga Lake to do battle in its honor was proud this season to rejoice in its neighvor’s victory. Next to the Rariem house floats the Columbia’s, and this, as ee stated, was decorated 4s gayly a8 a maiden of a fine May Morning. ‘The bioom was at the masthead, and Gasner, who put up that brooom, feels as proud of his performance as if he were one of the winning crew. ‘The Dauntless boys have deco- rated their house with whips and ribbons 80 lavishly that to pass their float is an impossibihty without receiving the caresses of these displays. The HERALD Boat Club has also run up the biue and white for Columbia’s sake, and from the flag- staff on the Nautilus Ciub filles the flag of the crew which won victory for the boys of a New York school of learning over eight of tne boat crews of the best known universities in the land. The Gramercy Clad was also tastetully decorated. And not only were the boathouses thus fancifully adorned, but many of the houses close to the river- side threw out their welcomes of ‘Hail Colum- bia.” These irtendiy demonstrations must indeed have been gratifying to the Columbia’s crew as they passed by and down into the great city to re- ceive other welcomes from the irlends who Awaited their return, ' The Columbia's Time. JULY 20, 1874. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Several of our New York papers do not seem dis- posed to give the Columbia boys full credit for their recent victory.

He gave Mrs. Coughlan a marriage certificate. He could not swear that the defend- ant was the bridegroom on that occasion.

A Well-Selected Pio! {From the Cleveland Leader.) Anew and deserved honor has fallen upon the head of Mr. Henry M. Stanley. The letters of Dr. Livingstone and the testimony of his servants concerning the liberality and kindness of the American journalist to the veteran explorer have made the English people quite ashamed of the jealous suspicion with which they greeted Mr. Stanley on bis return from Zanzibar, and they are now loading him with every mark of honor and respect, More than this, the London Daily Telegraph has united with Mr, Bennett, of the New YORK HERALD, in fitting out @ strong and perfectly equipped expedition to go to Central Africa, and there, if possi- ble, solve the remaining problems of geography, and investigate and report on the slave trade, It is designed tn fact to complete the work leit unfinished when death laid its unwelcome hand upon Dr. Livingstone. The commana of this im- portant expedition is to be given to Mr. Stanley, who, as the London 7elegraph says, ‘wiil represent the two nations whose common interest in the re- generation o! Africa was 80 well illustrated when the lost English explorer was rediscovered by the energetic American correspondent. In that mem- | orable journey Mr. Stanley displayed the best qualities of an Alrican traveller; and, with no tn- considerabie resources at his disposal to reiniorce his own complete acquaintance with the conditions of African travel, it may be hoped that very im- portant results will accrue from this undertaking to the advantage of science, humanity and civil- ization.” WII It Subserve a Useful End? {From tne roy Daily Times.) People who are interested in Afrfcan explora tions will be pleased to learn that the London Telegraph and NeW YORK HERALD have united in the organization of an expedition for the purpose of completing the work leit unfinished by Dr. Liv- ingstone, Henry M. Staniey is to be in command, which is certainly @ compliment to him and to American enterprise. It may fairly be expected that this expedition wili be conducted under the most liberal auspices. ‘The proprietor of the HER- ALD ts not, a8 everybody knows, in the habit of doing things by halves, and the London Telegraph is noted for tts superiority over English journals, generally, in vigor and enterprise. If it be posst- ble to subserve any useful end by an enterprise of this sort, the very best results may be anticipated from such @ combination as this. To Start at Once. {From the Buffalo Express.) It is said that arrangements have been made be- tween the London Daity Telegraph and James Gor- don Bennett, of the New York HERALD, under which an expedition will be at once despatched to Africa, with the object of investigating and re- porting upon tbe haunts of slave dealers, of press- ing v0 {ulfilment the magnificent discoveries of the late Dr. Livingstone, and of completing, if possi- ble, the remaining problems of the geography of Central Alrica. The expedition will be under the sole command of Mr. Henry M. Stanley. A Revision of Judgment on Stanley. r [From the Philadelphia Press.) Stanley 1s to make another trip into Central Africa, prepared to stay long enough to settle the problem as to the source of the Nile. The expedi- tion is to be supported by the London 7elegraphand the New YORK HERALD. The recent publication of letters written by Dr. Livingstone has caused a revision of judgment in favor of Stanley. It is now acknowledged on all hands that he is entitled tofar more credit than he was given on his re- turn from his journey jor tne relief of the great explorer. A Lament Over “Old Times.’ [From the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press.} In these days of sharp and bitter competition among newspapers the true limits of journalism, it seems to us,are being lost sight of. Its old province was to record, but of later days it is get- ting to be to make the news. The latest exemplt- fication of this tendency is the announcement that the New YORK HERALD and the London ‘telegraph have united in organizing an expedition of Airican discovery, under command of Mr. Henry M. Stanley. The purpose of the enterprise is to complete the work left unfinished by the lamented death of Dr. Livingstone; to solve, if possivle, the remaining problems of the geography of Central Africa, and to investigate and report upon the baunts of the slave traders. Stanley’s Qualifications, (From the New Haven Palladium.) The enterprise of the New YoRK HERALD and the London Daily Telegraph in organizing an expedi- tion for African exploration, under the command of Mr. Stanley, is highly creditable to American and English journalism, Mr. Stanley intends to take up the work at the point where Livingstone’s death left it unfinished, to solve the remaining provlems of African geography, aud especially to report upon the slave trade. It is a task for which Mr. Stanley has rare qualifications. If he lacks literary style, which is a matter of very slight con- sequence compared with the possession of other qualities, he has indomitable perseverance, rare courage and boundless enthusiasm. By the enter- prise of these two journals he will start better equipped for his long and arduous journey than it was ever poor Livingstone’s fortune to be, and 80 the world may expect valuable results, Newspapers Making History. [From the Philadelphia Ledger.) Two of our contemporaries, the New YORE HERALD and the London Telegraph, have united in organizing an expedition for prosecuting African discovery, the command of which is to be tntrusted to Mr. Henry M. Stanley, the discoverer of Living- stone. The object 18 to complete the work left unfinished by the untimely death of that great ex- plorer; to investigate the slave trade, and, if pos- sible, to solve the remaining problems of Central African geography. The expedition is to have a first class equipment, and ample resources will be at the disposal of its commander for the succesaful prosecution of the work. Both of our contempo- raries announce this, and the energy and enter- prise which both display in opening new flelds of Tesearch give promise of abundant success in this, In our later day the fleld of newspaper work has extended beyond the mere record of history into the making of history itself, BUSINESS AT THE POST OFFICE, ‘The following is the official statement of bust- ness transacted at the New York Post Office during the three months ending June 30:— Number of mail postal cards delivered by car.
