THE COLLEGE REGATTA. Cornell Hoping to Send the Champion Crews. HER MEN OF RENOWN. How the Oarsmen Look and What They Promise. Trmaca, N, ¥., June 18, 1875, When Captain Ostrom and bis associates of the Cornell crew left Saratoga last summer they had already settled one perplexing matver—that is, the better size of men to make good oarsmen. In that race the Ithacans felt sure of an excellent position, if they were not the winners, Dut finisn- Ing fifth in the contest and asiern of plucky Will- ams wasa bitter disappointment, Looking for the reanon of their taliure it was determined— frst, that the crew was made up of men too big and too tall; or, in plaimer language, the shell tarried too much beef;”’ and second, their stroke Was too slow and lacked tne all-essential element of being able to send the boat along with any zpeed. These were happy conclusions for Cornell, but have been of service to her. So when the stadents began again to gather last autumn on University Hill und the question of this year’s crew was discussed—for discussed it was among the earlier matters requiring college attention— there was much enthusiasm among the rugged boys. Better than enthusiasm was the imme- diate offer of greenbacks, as well as strong backs— uinews of war not to be reiused. Each was gladly accepted, and the gymnasium of this honored in- Btitution once more became the scene of honest workers, striving to fit themselves with muccie and strength sufficient to pave the way to victory for the carnelian and white of their Alma Mater on Lake Saratoga. In this preliminary business | good-natured Ostrom, of course, was the leading spirit, He felt that the responsibility was great; but, going into the struggle with all his heart and the accumulated experiences of regatta work yet Bull fresn in bis mind, there was nothing left un- done to deserve success. SELECTING THE WINNERS. It was.a matter of regret that but two of last year’s crew were found available for this. Four were compelled to retire, and of all that remained 1 the once thought invincibie six were King ana Ostrom. Stili, these two men comprised about averything that was worth saving from that de- . moralized crew, and in them was the nucleus of a good six, as they are Tepresentative patterns of Brrength, gameness ana activity. Pulling at the weights, some walking and a dasn of running, now and then, put the selected men into shape | for (ne closer lines of discipline when the ice dis- appeared from Cayuga Lake in the spring. Then Cornell threw open the door of its unpretentious boati.ouse, and with alittle pardonable exultation Introduced her men, to Whom she now intrusts, | its “faith triumphant o’er its fears,’’ to the pre- liminary practice of tne barge. How steadily the crew has since kept tothe promise of this work 1t gione can tell. The rough material wanted moulding, and time, patience and a master band were required to do the hammeriag into shape. These three requisites tne University is sure the men possess. If the conclusion has been based on sound reasoning Cornell will be in bet- ter nealth and spirits at tne wind-up of the com- ing race tnan she was last year. Her friends, too, | | 1 think that the wheel snould twist their way at | this time, and not leave all the prizes among her | competitors. ON CAYUGA LAKE. From the 26th of April the barge and pair-oared system of training continued till a fortnight since, when their new paper shell was delivered and all other pulling was suspended, These men I found yesterday at their training quarte: on Uolversity iil, by the kindness of . E. M. Bartiett, cli 78, and right well and hearty were they lookt Their quarters, beta 1 the matter of location and convenience, are infinitely superior to those of 1874, and in this particular as well us others Cornell bas taken a step toward improvement. It never was nor never will be of any service to acrew tu lide itself away in dense woods during training, bat that 18 just what Corneil did last year with her men.

He began his remarks by reading—‘‘Wnen Peter, turning about and seeing the disciples following, said, Lord, what shall these men do? And Jesus said, If I will they tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.” Both Peter and John were passionate by nature, but they were of diferent passions, John was sensitive. He had such @ sense of difldence and delicacy that he did not even use his own name in his writings, But Peter was one of tuose prectpitate, positive men, with an intermeddiing familiarity, Ue did‘not | hesitate to rebuke his Master; he did not hesitate | to give his advice before it was asked—weil meaning and kind, but he plunged in without | | the sligntest sense of manners, aud seemed quite astonished when people were disturbed by this meddiing, So here he says, “Well Lora, what snall this man do??

Near by lived Nathan- je) Burgess, a wild, dangerous, shiltless character, Without occupation or visible means of support, He was known as a desperate, worthless fellow. On a certain occaston, in October last, Burgess called upon Robbins for the loan of | @ double barrelled shot-gun, This favor the old man refased, saying that he would not lend bis gunto anyone. At this Bur- | gess Was mucn offended and wentaway, A day or two thereafter whtie Robbins was vistting at the village of Efngham, some one entered his house and stole his gun, He suspected Burgess ol the theft, und so stated to one or two triends, Burgess heard of the accusation, ana he threat- ened that he would have revenge for the insult. CROSSING THE BRIDGE. On the 29th of October, 1874, George P. Odell, a young farmer, residing flve miles trom Vandalia, Was on his way home afoor. It was necessary to crovs the bridge and trestle over which ths old man kept watch. When be got to the bridge the darkness was so grea’ that he could not see his | way safely over, sad he feared to risk the walk. He called to Robdins ia his cabin to come out and light pim over, He received no reply. «le cailed, and called, but could elicit no response, and was tnally Jorced to ge Upon nis Knees and “coon” it over The uangerous passage. A dim light was flickering in the watch house, , and he called in to learn why tne watchwan did not answer his hail, Tv nie horror ne found poor old Koboins stretcned out on the floor, while the life current Was ranuing out from adozen guo- shot wounds, He was still alive and able to speak, and at once implored Odell to go for medical aid. Buc he was beyond tue cratt of the sargeon, and ip less than two hours a dead mon, Bewre dying ne raked suMiciently to give a coherent uccount of the bloody affair. He stated tii he was seated at his window readivg a paper by the light of a lantern when | sudueuly two reports were heard and two cnarges | of DuCKShOt came tearing irom the bushes below, | striking im full in the face and chest, and ratiltag Aoout over the windows and walls as though a qousand bulists had been sped at hin from the deadly weapon. He teil to the floor, but reatizing that he was dying, ne raised olmself to his knees ana prayed for pardon and mercy tn behalf of ns unknown assassin. This was the oid man’s story, and it Was confirmed 10 a curious manner after ae had passed over tne bridve o1 evernity. THE CORONER'S INQUEST, The next day the Coroner heid bis inquess. Odell was put opon the stand and related bis die covery, but, of course, couid shed DO lighton the deed. Suspicion ad alreacy pointed to Burgess, becuuse nis treats of Vengeance had been heard | of. He was sent ior, His statement was fali of evasion and contradiction. When orougnht within view of the giastiy co:pse @ remarkable scene took place.

The iong-continued mismanagement of democratic power in this county by the would-be magnates of Tammany Hail has at last aroused the anger of the better class of workingmen and the skilled laborers of the community, and they have taken prompt measures to express their disapprobation of the new Tammany Ring. Toe representative menof the people have been in council, and from the reports made to them | it was evident that thousands of cttiz who had heretofore stood firmly by the | @emocratic party have resolved to vote tm republican ticket at the next election rather than be accessory to the continuation of the abuse of power and the violations of the rights of the citi- zens, 80 apparent in the present management of the Tammany democracy. Ihe necessity for the organization of the people into a party of resiste ance was so clearly set forth that It was resolved to call the true democrats together and to actat once. From all parts of the county the move- ment has called forth earnest support. Mer- chants, bankers, professional men, skilled artisans and other men of brains, tacc and honesty have volunteered their services toward the end in view. The platform needs no explanation. Its prom- inent principles are brains and ehonesty. Each Assembly district ls to be called upon to send tts delegates to a county convention Jor the purpose of nomipatiog # county ticket jor the next elew tion, in oppostiion to the nominees of Tammany Hail, The nominations will be made by th deiegates to that convention; not by @ secret caucus of two or three men, who may bave the power to make ward delegates gulp @ Ucket whicn they have had no votce in making. ihe shameiul tyranny of the nominat ing caucus, whica has disgraced tne action of the Tammany Hall domocracy for so mary years, 1s to be firmly rebuked. it 1s proposed by the en- ergetic spirits who have this important work in hana that the nominees shail be democrats—men whose character is above reproact, No aml tion wiil oe made witn the republican party or with the s0-called Tammany Hail democracy for any purpose whatever. Arrangements have deen mide to call @ Mass meetiug Of the citizens, at one of tne prominent places of meeting, in short time, when the names of the active organ+ izers Ol the w rk will be presented. In conversation with the Hon. Benjamta Wood, one of the leaders of the new party, last evening, & HERALD reporter gathered the above facts and the assurance that the new party will be pledged to thoroughly carry out toe principles set orto by the Democratic State General Coavention. THE ANTI-TAMMANY MOVEMENT. A SIEGE TO BE RAISED AGAINST THE PRESENT RULERS. The initiatory movement against Tammany Hail, im the orgdnization of a new democratic party, was began last evening in the Twentieth | Assembly district. Some days ago & meeting of the citizens of this district was held, at which resolutions were passed denouncing the present management of Tammany Hall. The main object of the gathermmg at Mechanics’ Hall, near Forty-seventh street, on Third avenue, last evening, was to elect a democratic dis- trict committee, consisting of seven repre- sentatives in the Assembly district, who, as the resolutions set forth, shall have direct communication with and properly represent the interests of the people in their re spective election districts, in cohfurmity with the rul and regulations prescribed by the Democratic State Convention for 1871, for the elecnon and organization of iike bodies, It was also determined at the meeting aforesaid to appoint irom taeir boay five persons to conier with other Assembly districts, with the view of forming similar organizations throaghoat the county of New Yor The hail was thronged lasvevening by those anxious to witness the operations of tne new party, and tt wus apparent that t.e movement excited gener: loterest and atten:on, ‘Tickets were printed contain- lng the hames of tne district committee. There are forty-turee election disiricts 10 the Twentieth Assemoly district, and as seven representatives are selected for each district the organization, when compieted throughout the city, Will neces- sarily be very large. There was no contest last night, there being only one ticket submitted to tne Voters. Tne proceedings were not marrea by any disturbance, a large police force being in atiendance. It 1s proposed to hold similar elections im ali the Assemoly districts througavut the city during tne commg week, | Judges of election im the fwentieta last erepieg were Dr. Feodore Miersoa, Jonn Ngan aud Joon Bushnell, Tue cail r the meeting was signed by Emanuel &.
