Military shooting. at Creedmoor is a little too mach ofa “picnic” for many of the citizen soldiery visiting the range on practice days. Asa rule, a noticeable lack of discipline prevails and there 18 almost a premium on bad shooting. Thoso who fail to qualify at the first two ranges, thereby forfeiting the right to compete at the 300 and 400 yards, are permitted to have “a high old time’? ball playing and skylarking about the field, removed from all restraint, while the men who succeed aud scem desirous of making a good tecord are not always instructed properly regarding tne positions which they should assume in shooting. Yesterday there were eignty-two men out from the Fifth regiment, sixty-eight from the ‘Twelfth and sixty-one from the Twenty-second. Of this vumber ninety-three qualified at the first ranges, thirty-eight of the Filth, thirty-three of the Twelfth and twenty-two .of the Twenty-second. Then the others played ball with a vigor and application that would have been highly oreditablg if this were a part of the duty of the hour. Of the ninety-three who shot at 300 and 400 yards eleven qualilied from the Filth, nine trom the Twelfth and six trom ine Twenty. second regiment. At the 800 yards range, where the men should knoel while firing, some fired off-hand, and at 400 yards, when they shouid fire lying with head to the target, some kneit, some sat and others fired lying on their backs with their fect to the target.

Why this change? \Yesleyau says but lnttle, yet she vouch- safes the enigma that, “if it 18 not absolutely certain that tried men are indispensable to success, why not | give green men a chance?” Further she docs not go, excepting to assure the inquirer that it was deemed best to select a few lot, and this bas been done. ol lectively and individually, with one exception, the men were a rough lov at the oar, Many class crews for the first time in a sheil have been superior, and pro- sented léss of a thoroughly ragged appearance in row- ing than did these in their initial efforts. But the energy and tntelligence of Sewall soon began to tell its story, and the wheat was at inst culled from the chatff and the present crew determined upon, THE CREW, When six valuable men can be found !n a university numbering less than 200 studenta ber ranks muss coa- tain good material, What would “Fair Harvard” say if she was reduced to thd alternative ot selecting her oarsmen from such a number? What would Cook, of Yale, say 1 he had no greater amount of matorial from which to make up aracing crew? Thero is no doubt that be would get it together; but then Yale never had so much natural thew and sinew in such a small compags as has the Methodists ol Middictown, and, as a general thing, they like the lite ot sloth ond luxury, rather than that of steady living and bard work, Ai nerat matter, I say; but then Yale has in the neigh- Boriood of 1,500 students, vo pick a crew trom, and trom this number be many rising oars men. Wesleyan’ year are of the right stamp, if they are raw recruits. Very tew oxperienced oarsiner will be likely to accord them any chanee at all, from the fact that there hasu’t been ume to mould the material in hand to any degree of symmetry and regularity, But experiewced oarsmen olttimes are wide of their mark, and I have seen galiant old Josh Ward, standing on the shore of Lake Saratoga juat afier an exciting rage, nola up his hands and hitch his red suspenders in perfect amazement, all because some crew he had thought but ittle of were the winners, Tms only shows how men who understand the impstery of “strokes,” ‘recover’ and ‘fenther,’? “form,” “rowing” and ‘time’ can be mistaken. What | if the light bodied men of Wesleyan shouid surprise | them this year? I make no predictions, for my ob- servation of their work has been of the most limited | character, yet quite suttictent to note some o! its eaxsen- | tial features.

BUDOLPHE PLAYS A MAGNIFICENT GAME AND DEFEATS SEXTON TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN POINTIS—THE LARGEST AVERAGE EVER MADE IN SIX HUNDRED POINTS, The game at Irving Hall last evening, between William Sexton and A, P. Rudolphe, was more exciting than ‘any game in the tournament. Every one expected to sce Rudoiphe badly beaten by Sexton; but the former turned the wbles by making the largest average on record and beating Sexton over 200 points, : TUE GAME, Rudolphe won the lead and chose the white ball. Neither player counted inthe first inning, but Ru- dolphe in opening the second took out of them 24 points before he retired. Sexton made 16 on the {ol- lowing play, and sat down after leaving the balls as | nicely as he could wish, Rudolphe took advantage of the situation to the extent of 34 points; on his ba tieth shot he madea palpable push shot which aid not happen to attract the ampire’s attention, and despite Sexton's protest the shot was allowed. He continued for four more shots, when Sexion called time to ex- amive the balls, which were lying very close together, Rudolphe played on without heeding Sexton’s call and Mr. Neil Bryant decided ‘no count.’ Rudolphe, in turn, protested, but was compelled to yield to the umpire’s decision, which was backed by cries from the audience for Sexton. The balls were in good trim when Sexton took hold of them, but he ‘sipped up” on another easy shot after scoring 21. For the next few jcnings the play was ordinary, Rudolphe get- ting a little the best of the counting. He opened the sixth ipning witha run ot 49 points, all hard-earned shots In attempting his Ofvieth be failed on an easy m The balls were in good position for Sexton, bat he scatterea them alier a dozen or 80 and failed on a massé draw while trying to jather thom, The score remained biank on oth aides for two more innings, when Rudolphe made points avd missed the simplest kind of a masse. This gave Sexton another opportunity to make a good run, He began carefully and kept thom micoly to the thir- teenth shot; here they got “straight” on him, though yery close ‘together. ihe play Yall wes too tar off to make a massé, and be was compelied to play a two-cushion bank shot, which be made wituout Gan them an inch Up to the ffMy-third shot he ept them in close quarters on the lower end They broke on him tor several shots, but when he reached 61 points he had them in bounds again on the end rail. ae ‘Tima again, bat © ow about even on the second string, the game siandiug * RUDOLPH, 129; SKXTOS, 135, On’the eleventh inning Rudoiphe made but 2 points.

COLLEGE COMMENCEMENTS. THE EXERCISES THAD ATTEND THE USHERING OF MANY YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN INTO REAL LIrs. ry There is an exceedingly large and not unimportant section of the community to which the public eye ts wont to be directed about this time of the yoar, Ag each season comes round it supplies the popular mind with its own special items of entertainment, spring, summer, autumo and winter each contributing in turn its varied but accustomed quota About the season when the largest share of space usually allotted to them is given to the national sports the columns of the press are reguia ly opened to announcements of an unpre. tending character, but burdenod with the aspirations of the section to whieh reference is made above, atid which may ali be summed up in the one word ‘commencement.” Upon the exercises so designated tho community generally looks with both favor and. sympathy. The worl itself summarizes a world of steady, painful toil and striving; {t 1s colored by the lawfal ambition and hopes of the coming gefieration of men and women, to whom the country looks forward as the husbandiman does to the ripening delds of grain. It ts to thousands the termination of & carecr preparatory to tne sterner duties of life, to which they will to years to come yearningly look back as they come to the maturity of life and seo all its imagioary and even real troubles dwarfed by the greater concerns of the real struzgio and tinged with the soft, golden glories which ago, like a dechning sun, throws back upon the clouds that still stand above the mental horizon, where youth lingers forever, The memory .of the days when they cherished the same fond hopes, nursed the same ambitions aud cradled the same, illu- sions warms the heartsof the whole community to- ward the young people of both sexes who, in certain numbers each year, ask their friends to come and see the strength and temper of the weapons with which they have, by study, furnished themselves for the bat- Ue of life, So, during the next two weeks or month, the colleges of this city and of the country will be alive with the bustle of preparation lor these exercises and with the commencements themselves. It is impossi- bie to transfer to paper all the auxiety, the hopes and fears and misgivings Incident to these occasions on the part of the chiet actors, thatis well appreciated by those who have gone through the same crucial process, To-day the Heras, devotes a portion of its space te the enumeration of these interesting exercises in many of our most prominent educational institutions of New York aud its vicinity.
