The fact is that ever since the wituesses for-the prose- | eution have disappeared from the stand the character of the principals to the suit has ap- parentiy changed. “When the defence brought forward their cloud of witnesses Mr, Tilton was placed on trial, and a complexiom has been given the ease not at all compatible with tne real ques- Hon at issue, which is whewner Henry Ward Beecher dia or did not seduce the wife of Theo- dore Tilton. Butachange is soon to come over the scene, for Mr. Evarts will not consume much mere time in pleading the cause of bis client, and when he sits down the thugder of the prosecation Will begin to be beard, and an entirely different view of the facts be presented to the jury.

THE MEN AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS. Names, Ages, Heights, Weights and Positions. A UNIVERSITY THAT MEANS TO WIN. YALB COLLEGE, NeW HAVEN, June 2, 1975. It was amusing, if not instructive, to note all that was suid, both in private conversation and in the columns of the press, upon the subject of last year’s college regatta, After the battle every man suddenly discovered himself to be a prophet. Even those who before the contest spoke in guall- fled terms of the merits or sailings of one or the otner of the crews, then unhesitatingly declared that Columbia were wonders and that Yale, Har- vard, Wesleyan and so on were utter shipwrecks. Very much was also said and written about the “little dificuty” between the great oaric adver- saries, Yale and Harvard, and some people went cout of their way to gossip and siart ramors and hurriedly scrawl senseless ana talse attacks to serve only & bad purpose, That supply of daily pabulum for the aquatic world and for the enemies of the two universities might as well have been confined to reasonable dimensions without any loss of truthiulness and honor, and with better justice to the rights of those engaged | and tothe character of the annual aquatic 1¢- union, Of that trouble Yale has wasned her hands; yet every man of the undergraduates and every one of the hard working or hard play- | ing alumni have made up their minds that old Yale’s representatives were rather ‘set on” at Saratoga last year; and if it ever occurs again they ana “ten thousand more will know the rea- son why.” WORKING TO WIN. So Yale goes into the regatta tnis year with firm purpose and a clear ives of what she desires | to accomplish, Quieter, more determined aud wisely reticent, plucky Captain Cook passes all the time not required at bis studies in the boathouse | or om the water, eitner teaching some novice the first principles of rowing or doing honest, streng work with the University six. Sleepless zeal and genuine enthusiasm to im- prove and better the boating inter college sum up the work of the year pa despite all the kicks bestowed ruthlessly upon her, Yale has succeeded {n raising a monument in the shape of her magnificent new boathouse that telis the story without addenda of the spirit and the indomitable pluck possessed by tne officers of the navy. MAKING UP THE CREW. A shadow, however, early fell on the prospects of the University crew. Wood, who was No. 4 of last year’s snell, had sis leg fractured late in | hard to fill, a8 this Norwalk lad was a graceiul and skiliul Oarsman, while he had great pluck | and a good head. So, of the old hands availavle, | there were but four instead of five, as hoped | by the sturdy Cook, and it was necessary to levy acontribution upen those wuo had been tried in the freshmen ranks. Happily suca existed, and toere were introduced two tidy oars, susceptivle of. steady improvement. The crew thus com- | posed startea with somewhat lair prospects, but they have maae no pretensions, nor qill they even up to the moment when ner six trus:y blavesahali be dipped into the waters of Lake Saratoga the day of the regatta, Cynics of the stamp that dro always decrying things successful and lament the want of taste that applauds mascular rather than mental cul ture, when their side suffers deleat, have nad and will continue to have much to say regarding Yale's form and style, While students of | ober universities art thas wasting their ammunition those possessing genuine boat- | ing nthusiasm are zealously Spoiying | themselves to catch the stroke that Yale pas snown during two years past.
