v NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, —— ee THE COLLEGE REGATTA. Harvard Training Both University and Freshman Crews. THE OARSMEN SELECTED Their Racing Shells and Quarters at Saratoga. How Brown University is Train- iag for Victory. HER REPRESENTATIVE OARSMEN, CAMBRIDGE, Maas,, June 4, 1875. Considering Harvard's club system and her boating traditions nd material at band, as well as what she can gain or loge in the next intercol- legiate regatta, it isn’t pleasant to tell ner iriends ‘that the university six is somewhat backward this Year. Such, however, is tne case. Yet the crew retains three of her tried oarsmen, althougn tn different places from those they occupied last year, while as substitutes for the three vacant Beats have been found very creditable men, fully equal, perhaps, to the average class oar. in the matter of physique, activity and strength the: will Compare favorably with previous represent tives that have won higa-favor and great victories iu terribly contested university wrangleships, and if their coach can succeed in getting them into torm and keeping them keyed up to the right motoh they will prove ugly men to beat on Sara- toga, as they bave tair reach and decent swing, though their time is susceptiple oi improvement at once, Ten men went inio the gymuasium carly last winter as candidates for seats in tnis year’s boat. Steady as clocks and persistent as pieces of Mechanism, they workee all through the season of suow and tce, hardening themselves for the hoped-for task of the sping and summer, itis Righ honor at any time to be selected @ university oar, but this year the competition for places in Harvarc’s shell was keen and unoflag- ging. Daring the months of December and January, in addition to other athietic exercises, the candidates rowed on the weiguts'd daily aver- age of 660 strokes, and in the months of February and March the average on both the weights and the hydraulic machines was 950 sirokes daily. Bacon, a member of last year’s crew and captain Of this, sitting at port waist, brought up bis dally average to 1,000 strokes, showing himself to have been conscientious in the preliminary training. Goodwin, Dana and Morse by graduation retired from the pout after the unpleasant experience of last year with Yale, leaving as a nucleus for this summer’s 8X, Otis, Taylor and Bacon, The latter ‘Was at once selected to assume the captaincy, and then he began to look among the men in the gym- nasidm for the purpose o! filling the three vacant ts. Very few possess the sort of qualifications this demanded, from 4 Harvard standpoint, as a hkely aud bopetul man 1s about as follows :— In general it may be said, if & man is weil built and looks healthy, neither sallow nor puily; it heas handy and elastic i his motions; it he sits strait and square, gud does hard, honest and ciean work; If he c: get his Whole frame rapidly forward aud is cxpable of a vicious wreneh through the water, and is sound in wind and has piuck w stand the flery Grdea! of ten m 3 long training; if he be, moreover, of goo nally. passionately attached to the aqua im spite of innumerable taalts in form, hi and hopeiul man, At last the selections were mai the choice of F, D.

The “cushion” vetween these cullege Crews, by the withdrawal of Jrinity, has been removed, and now tuey select the same traiming quarters at the Lake, and the students at large the same hotel in the village. Perhaps these are the sigus of the “good tme cOming.”” Frederick Jackson Wiley, 77, of Detroit, Micb., it is hkely will be the Harvara representative sii- gle sculler at Saratoga. THE BROWN BOYs. Provipencs, R. 1, June 5, 1875. On the aiternoon of Tuesday, July 26, 1859, there was held on Lake Quinsigamond the first Union College regatta that ever took place in wnis coan- try. It was @ great occasion for Worcester and the surrounding towas in Massachusetts, as the | contest brought out foar boats from three univer- | One of the symbols of success for 1875. | end they are working zeaiousiy, and tf any one of | the long List of universiti sities, Harvard, Yale aaj Brown, The two former bad already become aquatic antagonists, but the sturdy students of the latter were mere novices at the business, and in this their maiden effort were defeated by both Harvard and Yale. The performance was not discreditable, however, as rowing im the old :ix-oared lJapstreak boat Atlanta the crew were convinced before going ohe-third of the three-mile course that their in- complete and cumbersome rig must prove disa: trous, notwithstanding the brawn and pluck which it held, This race cut the way tor subse- quent appearances of Browa’s well-meaning vars- | men in the great annual aquatic reunion of colleges that were more satisiactory, and time has been since when no adversary has | been more feared than this same isticution perched on the hilis. of Providence, Steady proz- Tess Was Made among the students in this depart. ment of physical culture, which at last was re- warded by a victory for the Freshman crew in the regatta at Worcester, Joly 22, 1s70, when her stx- oared shell went spinning over the score six lengths ia front of Yale, who had both Harvard | and Amherst badly beaten off, From that time on Brown has sent her sons to the scene of the annual aquatic battle whenever the sinews of war were to be relied upon, but no other victory has perchea upon her colors, although bard to take and carry away from all competitors To this should be praised more than another for the exnibition of genuine boating | enthu im it is Brown, for she goes into the struggle ily prepared, owing to a disastrous fre in November last that made rabvish and ashes of ali the club's property, Not even a boat or an oar Was Saved, and all the accumulation of years had to be commenced again. task it Was accomplished. A temporary house now shelters them, and as fast as fands can be secured | additions are being made to the number of their boats. Such has been the experience of Brown’s boating boys during the past year, an experience that would sink into oblivion the boating egthu- siasm of some seats Of 1earning that I could name, Yes, from the smouldering ruins of their all in aly they vowed to make tne greater exertions for success. PICKING THE UNIVERSITY Srx. So at the commencement of studies last fall the work of preparing both the University and Fresh- men crews was settied upon. As a foundation for the former there were availaole W. A- Peck, GC. M. Lee and 8 J. Bradbury, of last year’ Fresiman six, beaten at Sara- toga, which, ail things considered, was’nt so very baa. Five or six additional men were then selected, and after being subjected to many prac- tical tests were sent to the gymoasium that they might go tnrough the hardening process necessary | to become a winner in these stubvoraly contested events. During the time since the candidates have worked faithfully to secure tne com- mendation of their coacher and captain, and judging from tne bronzed faces and well ae- veloped chests and arms i saw tois morning, must have succeeded in pleasing both of these in- dividaals, Tue crew was late in getting on the water, it being about the Ist of May belore they launched their barge on the Seekonk River, at kust Providence; but since that dure tuey have been unuring 10 their efforts to improve. Vrac- tice in toe barge has beea varied with tne pair oared, und Wey Wil HOt ve enabled to use a snell unttl the completion of their ractug boat now in band by the vuliders.

Captain Brackett has just made a seizure of fine | lace goods, valued at $9,800, which, aiter a long chase—iollowing them from this city to Pniladel- phia and Washington and thence back again to this city—he has at last'secured and depvsited in the Seizure Department of the Custom House. In the last days of May this officer learned thata German named Hoorichs had been for several months engaged with his wife peddling through the upper pars of the city fine iaces, which it was suspected had paid no duties. By diligent exami- hation of the maniiests of steamers whicn bad arrived here, it was: ascertained that the persons sought came by. the Scotia in Qetober, 1873, wuder , tue nome of Cendrier and wile. Their residénce in Nineveentu street Was examined under a search warrant Without discovering the goods.

YACHTING IN ENGLAND. The Season Opened with a Prospect of Excellent Sport. MANY NEW VESSELS LAUNCHED. Will the Fiona Be Taken to America to Contend with the Transatlantic Cracks ? Loxpon, May 17, 1875, We are at jast fairly iaunched upon the yachting season, and, judging from the signs of the times, there 18 every prospect of an unusually busy cam- paign.. The building yards at Cowes, Southamp- ton Poole, and, in fact, all around tue south coast, have been in full swing tor many months past, | ana the number of new vessels—more particularly racing crait—which the present season will wit- ness turned of the stocks will be @ long way in excess of any former years, In the North the work of preparation 1s being carried on with equal energy, and, judging of the performances of the Scotch-built vessels on Saturday last in the Royal London cutter match, when three of Fife’s bulld finished actually first, secon and third, the Clyde bids fair to become a formidable rival to the Su- lent, and unless we keep our weather eye open the “Scotchman” will make a clean sweep bota of the Thames and South coast regattas, THE VANNESSA—THE LARGEST PRICE ON RECORD. the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, one of the old- est of the Thames clubs, though its members are cbhiedly owners o/ small racing crait, was, as usual, the first to open the ball on the Thames on Friday last, The match was originally appointed Jor May 1, but owing to the unfavorable weather, as well as to the number of other events clashing on that day—notably the opening of tue Alexau- dra Palace—the fixture was wisely postponed» for a fortnight, As @ rule the Prince ef Wales matches do not crgate any great amount of tnter- est outside their own immediate circle, but on this Occasion the yachting community were all agog with excitement, on account of the meeting of the two crack “twenties’—the Vannessa and the Fleetwing. For some unexplained reason there has been a tremendous “ran’ of lave upon racing craft of this size, and to own the “fastest twenty-tonner afloat’ has been the ne plus ultra of certain yachtsmen’s ambition, Last year the Vanuessa, then the property of Mr, Baillie, carried everything before her, completely bowling | over the Fleetwing, Sunshine, Najedah and a score of other cracks that ventured to oppose her in most truculent fashion. At the close of the Season the “Little Wonder” changed hands and became the property of Mr. J. M.

Thousands started early yesterday from the heated atmosphere of the pent up city Lo the cool and breezy summer resorts with which New York is so well and sbundantly provided on every hand, Coney Island was especially aimed at by that great multitude of workers who never expect to taste the aristueratic joys of Newport or Cape May. the long white beach trending 1nward toward the mainland and capacious enough to jurnish bath- ing accommodation to half a million of people was dotted here and there by joyous groups of bathers and wandering parties who were not bathers, but who strolled along the broad and yieiding sands admiring the foaming breakers roiling in or watching the sailboats dancing over the blue waters of the bay. A few light snowerg of rain tempered the heat, but did little to damp the determination of those who meant to go abroad | from the great hive of brick and mortar.
