The June trotting theeting at Fleetwood ark was brought to a close yesterday afternoon with two events—tho 2:40 and 2:22 purses, In the former ten of the sixteen entries responded to the call of the judges, these being J. Conkling’s bay gelding Oyster Boy, 0. S. Bailey's sorrel mare Sarab, John Murphy's black gelding Aleck, C. T.

Weeks’ bay gelding Clover and B. Eekerson’s black gelding Colonel Campbell, Clover was the favorite over the field at three to one, He won the race in three straight heats, exhibiting bursts ot speed and apparent staying qualities that entitle him to much consideration in the trotting world, Butcher Boy was awarded second money and Aleck third. ‘The 2:22 purse of $600 brought Wm. H. Crawford’s brown mare Annie Collins, J, H. Phillips’ bay mare Ad clade and J. A, Batchelder’s bay gelding John H. 10 the score, Adolaide was a greut favorite, and thongh |. John H. captured the second heat she secured the first, third and fourth without much difficulty. As au ex: hibition of speed the event was very aitractive, and should have had more spectators than were onthe grounds to witness it, The brush up the stretch in the second heat was of the finest possible nature, Halt the way the three horses were head and head, but John H, at the distance stand drew in front and landed first under the wire half a length m advance of the other two, who made a dead heat for secona place. It will be many a day beiore another such finish with clippers of this class 1s seen at Fleetwood or any other track. Jolin H, barely escaped the flag in the iourth heat.

NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESD to the second and $100 to the | THE, UNIVERSITY HIGH. | Yale Having the Assistance of an English Coach. HARVARD ROWING “ON TIME.” : Sraixcrimep, June 27, 1876. A fact learned yesterday, which will prove a genuine surprise to many, is that Mr. Cook is not Yale’s only coach, He has, it seems, availed himself lately of tbe services of a Mr. Kelly, formerly a rowing man at Cambridge University, and hence largely imbued with the English notions of the correct way. torow, That he thinks Yale far more nearly approaches that way than Harvard appears from a statement he made re- cently, which was quoted by one of the Yate crow yesterday. He said that, “If Harvard could win on her present stroke, she is a phenomenal crew.” ‘This will well tend to convey an idea of the marked difference in the two styles toa rowing eye, One point in that dif- ference comes out more plainly the more it is watched— namely, that the two crews do not slide alike. The Yale men, bracing their feet firmly against the’ stretchers, push very hard with their legs, and the whole body slides evenly backward, the lower and upper ends of the backs travelling equally fast; but in the Harvard style the shoulders and upper back begin to move and swing through a con- siderable portion of the prescribed arc belore the slid- ing’seat is used at all This will at once suggest tho stroke of old times, when there were no sliding seats, and, indeed, adds but new evidence of the hesitation men brought up, as Mr, Loring was, to the old method of rowing, have to an innovation so decided in its effects as to throw the hardest part of the pulling, not onthe upper back, but rather on the loins and knees. 1t is also directiy the result of the way he has coached his men; but whether thef win or lose the thought time and care he as given to the coaching are greatly to his credit, Insisting that eight rowing machines be set in arow, not xt the gymrasiuv:, but at some jess exposed place, and finally hitting oo a room at the boat house, in the depth of last winter he got the men down there—and they were by no means always will- | ingto go—and three times a week, leaving his busi- ness, went out trom Boston and stood ovcr them this half-heated room, drilling and nrgivg and encourag- ing, weeding out old notions and implanting new. Never was such care taken at Harvard, nor probably any- where else in Aterica, ‘to have all the men row exactly alike, down to the smallest minutial, Slow work at first; toward the end the pay began to trickle in, and when, on the very first day the spring had opened enough to let them out on the river, they, in a stout eight-oared barge of bis ordering, swung off as cleanly and evenly together as though they were | Quietly tugging away at the rowing machines in the boathouse, he naturally felt greatly encouraged. In this drilling for a long timo he allowed no sliding seats at all, but taught them (o throw their weight on and brace their foet, sitting on stationary seats. When they had this knowledge thoroughly tn mind he grad- ually added the slide. Hence the combinution of the | two styles in their rowing to-day, Yale slides from the moment the stroke commences, Harvard not till it is half pulled through. One result is that at the end of the former’s stroke the back is about vertical, while | in Harvard’s the head and shoulders are tive inches or more back of a vertical line, rising from the lower end of the spine. darvara’s ‘shouiders thus travel tbrough an are, nearly or quite five anches longer than Yale’s, while the Jatter’s arms, insiead of bein held ‘straight ulmost throughvut the Pah be gin to crook earlier, and seem to bave more of the work to do, thus, too, retaining a marked characteristic of the Yale stroke taugnt by Wilbur Bacon a dozen years ago. This is what givos Mr, Ken- | nedy the appearance of making bis arms do too much | of the work, often, aiso, doing the same by Mr. Cook, | causing him at times, perhaps when bis mind ts off for | a moment, to certainly meet his oar. Occasional too—doubdtiess from the lurching of the boat from some one elsa’s deicction—be, mstead of swinging Straighttorward and att parallel with the keelson, pulls | outof the boat Mr. Thompson, at six, is one of the new | men, and, by the precise way he holds himsell through- out the stroke, seems determined to do every part of | his work in exactly the right fashion, While the waist ours go quite smoothly, though not dipping any too | deeply, there is irequently seen forward a tendency to | get out of parallel, the bodies not swaying in the sume direction at the same moment, and hence the crew being not quite in time, The lower teathor also in the Yale Lot continues to be distinctiy marked—so plainly, | indeed, that by it they could be distinguished trom the | rival crew when too far off to be otherwise told apart. Meanwhile Yale 1s plainly copying ANOTHER ENGLISH CUSTOM, and saying all her hard work wil the late afiernoon, When Harvard rowed Oxford in 1869, the latter would go out in twos, in crafts not unike our Whitevail boats, except that they were titted with short iron out- riggers, aud the coach would devo:e himself assidu- ously to toning down or removing the detects. All Uns was done at a ‘twenty-e ght or thirty stroke, so that hard work was never thought of Then toward evening the racing outrigger would be gotten out, aud the crew would row over the whole course at their best gait, the coach uccompanying in a steam-lannch and | shouting out his orders in stentorian tones, This con- cluded the day's rowing, for the crew would get out at | Mortlake, and drive back to Putney, send- ing the’ boat back by watermen, Saving the | driving part, for she paddies home instead, Harvard practically follows this programme to-day. | But Yale does less yet, for on no day this week has she | been out during tho forenaon in any kind of @ boat at all, The men sit around ander the trees, all but one | or two of them who perhaps are off in the city. This | plan will certainly help to bring them up to the score | more fleshy than I Whether they are it, Frid: t yeat and aliost surcly stronger, ot overduing it, and softening b; ywill prove. Yestérday they never launched quarter of six, and then, 1 tug | track, put off up stream, wer out | twenty-five minutes, aud returned loo! hot and | wet, Just how this pian ts goimg vo tamil: | with a straightaway icurinile dash, © . 109, when Lake Whitney, where they rowed at New Haven, only allowed one ‘ol something abouts mile, we not wholly clear, Meanwhile, unless ther coxswain tudies the course by himself, as dots Harvard's, he reely know it as he ought to on race ut t while Yale, apparently copying her Fis | tactres at Saratoga ior two years back, seems eager to shun observation, even though xpense of a thorougt: knowledge of the coyrs KOWS OVER EVERY RVES! This also is but carrying out her previousiy planned programme; for her men, while first allowed iu a sbeil So late as the 18th of May, were put over the course on time so early as the 1st of this month, and, as a rule, have covered it daily since. Rowing on tiae, ax is well known among boating men, means rowing over the distance which they propose doing in the race at just as fast a pace es is in their power, or as if, in other words, they were actually racing. li is even harder work ‘than the latter, becanse free from tho rehet brought by its excitement, and 1s in reality the sever- est dradgery. It can hardly be approached as a sue- cessiul preparation for ‘the final struggle. A man gets used to the terribly hard work; he learns | that when he is tired there is still something left in him, that the spurts for which bis captain calls | eraaually grow casier to make; that row seemingly as | hard as he can through the greater part of the work, he can still on occasion add minute; and finally, he knows the enjoymeuts tuat rest will bring him when lis Jabor is allover. As # result, then, of Harvard's assiamity in this respect, she has justly confidence that she can siay at her pace. But ii Yale nmkes the pace, what then? Will Hurvard commence spurting early in the race, in fran- tic efforts to keep up, and ¥o wind hersel! before halt through? That remains for Friday io show. Preseat Tesolutions are not enough. ‘The strain of a race day, 80 vividly described in ‘Jom Brown at Oxiord,” is nota whit overdone, and is very likely to prove too great tor such resolutions, especially to « crow, many of whom never rowed in an tinportant race, and who, as a crow, ever aid. THE DANGER OF A FOUL, oO arrangement already made wiil go far toward doing away with the possibility of afoul, at least dur. ing the trst mile, Thetwo bridges, running parallel and near together, are not far from the end of the first mile. In the upper or railroad bridge the central abutment has been agreed on as the one which the crow drawing the western position will go to the west ot and the other to the east of. A pier nearly opposite in th lower bridge will also be agreed on, thus keepin, e two boats separate that far at least. The critical time, however, will come a mile further down, when they ang working over on to the shorter or western shore. roke or two In tha ‘hen =the referee’s business will commerce, and he must determine who, if either, wavers from the trae course, If cither does, uniess the race proves that the two sides of cither crew are not really well matched, and one steadily pulls the other around, the responsibility will be laid on the coxswaim, Tt he berwarng 4 pass this point aud get well away below the Agawam Ferry bia work 1# practically over, But itis likely tobe work, tor two or three, minates, quite ard in fact as th cox: \ awains have, ering to Mr. Keily’ hing, it suggests a lack on the part of both sides of what would greatly help them 1m the coaching. A steam launch, one of those built fast enough to keep up, would enable the coach to keep bis crew in protite, not end on, as when he is Coxswain, or worse yet, behind him, as Mr, Cook at stroke has to do. If some friend would find Yaie or Harvard with @ swift little steam launch from Thomeycrutt, of Chis- wick, or Herresnof, of Bris tnbate more directly to many tw could almost any other way,, plish i, It is mot too mueh to say that had either owned one the Jost tive years her record would have diflered agteeably trom the way it now stands, $2.00 would accom.

THREE SPIRITED ONE MILE CONTESTS ON THE RIVER YESTERDAY. A very select and very happy company of young peo- ple crowded the decks of the steatner Water Lily as she left the wharf at Harlem Bridge at three o'clock yester- day afternoon forthe scene of the opening regatta of the Hariem Rowing Club, Three events were on the programme—a four-osred shell race for a set of colors and the club championship of the year, » patr-oared gig contest ‘for glory” only, anda six-oared barge match for club prizes, All the contestants were members of the club, and the course for the three events was from a point epposite Columbia College's new boathouse, just above the bridge, straightaway to McComb’s dam, a distance of one mile, As the steamer arrived on the course the shells which were to open the contes: teok their placea Promptly at the stakebonts, and while waiting the signal to start were treated toa slight shower bath from the end of a passing cloud. This, however, tastod but a sew seconds, and thereafter throughout the regatta the weatber was picasant as could be desirea, the sun being clouded so as to completely shade the course, In boat No. 1, wearing white caps and dlue shirts, were E. B, Pinckney, bow; Robert Lepper, A. B. Hoeber and A, G, Scranton, stroke, ‘Their an- tagonists in the other shell were J. W. Arthur, bow; H.W, Coates, J. Davoo, and H. Consling, stroke, ‘The Jatter crew wore bluc caps and scarlet sbirta When the signal was given both she!ls started with a favorsble tide, and kept aheaa of each other till they arrived opposite the grounds of the New York Athletic Club, when the scarlets began to steer badiy, making several rather wild torns and pressing their antagonists over toward the Manbattan shore, became necessary for the steamer to warn them by her whistles to keep out in the stream. The blues were evidently disconcerted by being pressed out of their course and the scariets gained several lengths tn the course of a minute or two, When within a short dis- tance of the dam the blues made a spurt which brought them abreast of their competitors, who were still crowding over into the blues’ water. The scarleis seemes unnerved for a second but recovered them. selves in time to retaliate with a spurt which carried them abreast of their antagonists and both sbells passed the goal together, Biues ciaimed afoul en the ground that they had been crowded, but the referce Mr. Henry M. Knapp, refused to allow the claim and decided that it was a dead beat and woula bave to be contested again, The time was 5m, 433. \ THK GIG RACK, ‘The second event was the pair-oared gig race, in which Messrs, A B. Hoeber and EK. B. Pinckney, clad mm biue, were matched against Messrs, J, W. Arthur aod Robert Lepper, arrayed in white. Biues started more promptly than the whites, but when half way over the course, which was back trom the Dam to the Bridge, they began to lag go that the whites came up with them. The boats kept side by side near the Man- hattan shore, neither appearing to exert itself, till they got abreast of Watt's Island, when the reds began to pull a quicker stroke, which gave them an advance of a length or two beiore the whites responded. When within a quarter of a milo of the stake- boat the reds gained gradually on the blues, who seemed to make no exeruon whatever, and passed the goal five Iengths uhead of the latter, the ume being 9m. 17s, The poor time made was accounted tor by supposing that as the reward ot the’ winners was nothing more substantial than ‘glory’? und as the men had all taken part in the first contest and were to participate in the final one for the club prizes, they were busbanding their strength for the more important race. TUR BARGE CONTEST. The last event wis a six-oared barge race, and the full strength of the club was exhivited tn the con- testants, Inthe first boat, wearing blue, were J. W. Arthur, bow, with E. B. Pinckney, R. De Guiscard, H. W. Coates, J. Devoe, and C. W. Turner, stroke; while arrayed against them and wearing white were M T. Kuupp, bow, with A. C. Sapartus, Robert Lepper, A. B. Hoeber, H. Conkling, and A. G. Scranton, stroke. The course of this race was the same as the tirst one, from the Columbta’s house buck 10 McComb’s, Con- siderable delay was caused by the blues, who were tardy in making their appearance, When they did shoot un- der the bridge and across the bow of the steamer they passed their waiting opponents and pailea half way over the course and back for the purpose of getting in stroke, A. R, Conkl who practised with the blue crew, had been suddenly called to Washington on the previous night, and bis place was suppiled by Mr. De- voe, who had not rowed with them ull they appeared on the course. This fact was against the chances of the crew, and, to add to the mistortune,. their more fortu- nate antagonists won the choice of boats, which gave them the club barge in which both crews had trained and relegated the blues to au untamiliar boat borrowed from tue friendly Athletic Club for the occasion, At the first tap of the beil both boats started like lighting, and few up the stream straight as arrows, abreast of each other, and preserving the same lateral distance between them til half the course was tra- versed, The blues seemed to pull in better form than the whites, but were evidently handicapped by their hovel craft, and the whites githed steadily in advance, ‘The taulty’ steering of the blues also had, doubtless, something to dé with this result, for they made a usciess sweep in shore while the others kept a straight cours’ Whites won by half a dozen lengths in six minutes, their antagonists passing the jetty twelve sevonds later, THE ARRANGEMENTS, Everything passed off in the most agreeable manner on the steamer under the direction of a courteous and efficient regatta committee, composed of essra, Edgar B, Pinckney, Attbur 8, Hoeber, Mark T, Knapp, Howard Coakling amt Robert Lepper.

These wero Messrs, Farwell, Gruce, Weber, Overbangh, Dakin and Hyde The query now is, “Where do they come in?” if at the start only ten more should have been selected to complote the first sixteen.

Patwaperma, Jane 27, 1876. The second day’s play of the St. George Club in Philadelphia was commonced to-day, at half-past eleven o'clock, the Germantown Club this time being their antagonists, The weather was favorable for the amusement, much more so than tho previous day, a light breeze blowing, which was truly enjoy- able after the unendurable heat of Mon- day. ‘Tom © Rhodes had takon great pains with the wicket and given it a good soaking the i night previous, which with the rolling of the morning gave a plece of turf almost periect, although a little hard. This, however, did not matter much as the bowling was not of the fast order and the balls did not jet up arreat deal. Captain Sontter, having again won the tors, thought | | it best to take the bat sending in Bance, and Whitham | to battle for the tarnished reputation of the club, Tom ed With slows, but scoring was tedious: Datsmen appeared rad of the advantage of the Hargreaves 01 at. drst. Both teasers, and were slow at taking many that should have been bit away for three and > four, Probably this was the want of contidence and practice, Bance was unoqually caught at the wicket for six; Moore and Moeran played steadily for a while and added seven and cight to the score respectively. Marsh and Soutter were in tact the only two St. Georges who displayed any particular merit at the batin this inning; they both showing good defence, hitving with more freedom vigor than revainder ot the eleven, The inning glosed for a total of 76, The fielding of the GermantOwn Club was admirable, the bowling not espzciatly bard to play for such batsmen as were opposed to it, After luncheon Large and Hoit- man took the bat for the Germantowns By the time these batsmen had made 23 rain fell and the game was delayed for nearly wn hour, The weather was con- siderably cooler when the game the st.

Shocking Treatment of Children by a Midwife, THE WOMAN UNDER ARREST. A revolting case of ‘baby farming” bas just come to light in this city. The manner of its discovery was thus:—Miss Elizabeth Clifford, of No, 123 West Third street, a niece of Mrs. Mary Russel, now of Tioga county, this State, went to Mrs. Maggie McCloskey's apartments in Second avenue, near Twenty-filth street, to see how her aunt’s child was being cared for, tt hav- ing been left with the woman McCloskey to nurse. The child thas came into the woman’s custody through an advertisement, saying that “A respectable widow desired to bring up some children after the manner of a midwife; terms $8 to $10 per month.” Miss Clifford was horrified to tind the apartment ina filthy condition, anu that her infant cousin, with five other little ones, were not only starving for want of proper: nourishment, but were in a state of filth that words cannot depict. Knowing that ner aunt bad been wholly deceived by Mrs. McCloskey, about her character and experience ip the care of children, she decided to intorm the police of the imposition that had been practised. Calling upon Captain Garland, at the Eighteenth precinct station, she narrated the facts of the case and requested his aid. The captain ree sponded to her appeal by sending word to the office of the Society for the Prevention of Crucity to Children, which society despatched Officer Gerner ta inquire into the case. Mr. Gerner, im company with Officer McGoldrick, went to the house, and, on enter+ ing @ rear room on the first floor, found a horrible scene, In the small, badly ventilated and dirty room were found six children, varying im ages from nine weeks to fourteen months, all in a condition filthy be- yond description. There was but one cradle in the room, and in it lay one of the little ones, pale and emaciated, with black streaks under the eyes all shrivelled up, with hardly strength to move, anda swelling near the right eye, The child was evidently in the last stage of starvation and was covered with filth and vermin. The other children were ia no better condition aud were lying on the dirty floor or on s sofa which, hke themselves, was the receptacle tor vermin and maggots, The woman McCloskey was not in at the time, but a young woman named Jane Wilson, who was out ofemployment and made her headqnar. ters, while idle, at Mrs. MoCloskey’s, was in the room, It was at once seen that relief must be afforded immedi- ately; so Officer sieGoldrick prooared some ice, bran and milk, which were administered to the babies. Officer Gerner also sent for a physician, bat tne people in the house assured the reporter last evening that no doctor had appeared, The inmates of tho house also said that they requested Gorner to take the children to a place where they could be properly cared for, but he repliel that the rules of his society forbade bim from removing thom from the house until morning, The women in the house then agreed to care for the infants until morn- ing. i OMcer Gerner went awa; expressing an intention to return yesterday morning to arrest Mrs. McCloskey, ».. but she returned during the evening, and, learning ..... a how the land lay, vacated the premises. Before xoing, however, she asked Jane Wilson to. meet her durin; the atternoon on the corner of Secon and Thigty first street, She said that she would in the meantime notify the parents or guar- dians of the children to come and take them away. ‘This she appears to have done as fur as she could, for, yesterday afternoon, one woman came and took away two of the children, which she said were hers, Jane Wilson, however, when the time of her appointment with the woman McCloskey approached, wert with Officer Gerner toward the place ot meeting. As they went up Second avenue Mrs. McCloskey was recognized in a car coming down town. The car was boarded and the woman arrested, Kate lipton, a young womag said to have been empioved by Mrs. McCloskey, was also arrested, and with the latter was taken before Juige Kolbreth, at the Filty-seventh Street Pohce Court. The Judge listened to only .»,if of the statements of the officers, and me took the names of the witnesses, when he decided vn committing Mrs McCloskey for trial tn detault of $1,009 bail, and Kate Chnton for the exammation. The Jatler will also be committed, when a proper comm aiat covering her case can be made out by the ¢ociety The vames of ‘the witnesses are Elizabeth ©.ord, No, 123 West Third street; Catharme Trench, same place, and Jane Wi'son, Jane Wilson’s statement con- vers to the mind a_ picture terribly re volting in ite character, She snid that the con- to tne children seemed to bea swallow because of its unpleasant taste, There was no attempt at cleanliness and the result was that the chil. dren were not only scalded” or frayed in a shocking manner, but wore litterally covered with vermin, When she tried to induce Mrs. McCloskey to summ: a doctor for those that were ill and to observe a Jittie more cleanliness in her treatment of the little one: ber answer invariably was, ‘%h, tet. the little bastarda die; who cares,” Last Friday the mother of the child Katie Russel, who is now ina dying condition, took away with her an older chil who had been placed un- der the tender care ot Mrs. bebe tyne some two weeka ago. One week bad caused such « change in the hit one, though she was fourteen mouths old and stro and healthy when given to Mrs. McCloskey, that the mother would not leave her, and she took her te Owego, Tioga county, this State, where she is employed as wet puree for a Mr. Hay. Mrs Russel’s husband went to the old country several months ago, being un- able to get employment here, and she bad then to ce out to service to earn the $14'a month, which the fier Mrs McCloskey demanded of her for’ the support an care of her little ones. The husband is now on his way back to this country. Mrs. McCloskey’s rag at being deprived of the other child by Mra Russel, wax so uncontrollable that, after the mother's departure from the house, she took the little infant, Katie Ruseol, and slammed her down against the floor and slapped her ina brutal manner. It was at this time that the httle one received tho bruise, near the right eve, shove mentioned, This bttle one, which is but nine weeks old, isin a terrible eomdten, and will probably dio from the ill treatinent it has received, The other little one now there with Katie Russe! has no pame bat that of *Pinkey,” given him by the purse, He 1s abont five months old. No one knows to whom he belongs. Tho names of the other childron and thoir ages are:—Tommy Anderson, aged two years and three months; Frank Brown, one year aud two months, and Katie Caugblia, three months. Frank was in Mrs. McCloskey’s arms when brought tocourt, He fs a fat, heaithy lookiag child; bat he is a cripple, and it would seem as it his misfortune raised him in the estimation of bis nurse, for she takes the utmost care of him, and he looks like it. Mrs. McCloskey says there is no truth in the charge that sho ill-treated the children, and denies that any child under her care has died within a month, as hug bern alleged. She also says that she bas never been & fortate teller, as has been stated. seen a AND CLAFLIN. It was announced that Mrs, Woodhull and Ténnie 0, Claflin would lecture at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last evening, and that Mrs, Woodhu!l’s daugh« ter would give a reading from Shakespeare.
