AMERICAN’ COLLEGE ROWING, This Year's Crews and What Is Expected of Them, HARVARD AND YALE. Preparations for the Annual Hight-Oared Race. METHODS OF TRAINING. The Regatta to Take Place at Lake Quinsigamond. THE NEW ORGANIZATION OF CREWS AND WHAT THEY INTEND DOING. Camnniper, Mass., March 22, 1879, Ina few weeks the boating season will begin. The athletes who have given their attention to other calls during the winter or who have endeavored to cherish their muscles in the close quarters and crowded air of agymnasium will have an opportunity to again bend to their work over the springy ash and again enjoy the delights of fresh air and generous exercise. Of all amateur oarsmen, collegians, both in this country and in England, have always attracted the largest share of the pablic’s attention. It is, therefore, of interest at this time to glance at the representa tive oarsmen of the two American colleges who, since 1852, have, with few exceptions, yearly contended for aquatic supremacy, to see what they have been doing during the past winter to fit themselves for the struggle next summer, and to gain some idea of their separate chances. After Harvard's brilliant record at New Lendon, inst June, a strong desire arose among her admirers to send the crew to England and row against the winner of the Oxford-Cambridge match, but after the assurance of the 3 of the crew and the necessary funds to their despatch the effort to arrange a race with the Englishmen proved unsuccessful, and in consequence the veteran Har- yard crew which had pulled so gallantly to the front in '77 and '78 disbandeil and left the college without a single man who had pulled in a university race as anucleus for a newcrew. This fact wasepf course hailed with delight by the friends of Yale, who still retained the valuable services of Captain Thompson, a veteran of three years’ experience, and nearly all of the '78 crew, with whom to organize the crew of °79, As soon, however, as it was understood at Har- vard that the old crew had disbanded an election for captain was held and resulted in the choice of a man who received the hearty indorsement of the whole college. Richard Trimble of New York, a junior, who had Deon assistant treasurer of the boat club for two years, and whose efliciency in that position had won him much well merited praise, was the man selected to control the preparations and direct the efforts of the Harvard crew of '79, With commendable en- ergy Captain Trimble at once called for candidates to begin training for the new crew, and with twenty men selected from those who offered themselves he went to work in the boathouse on the hydrau- lic rowing machines. From these twenty two eights were selected, who applied themselves so faithfully to their task that, although some had never pulled at all before, in less than two months an eight was pulling with as good form, and with apparently almost as much power as the old crew. This result was brought about, ina great measure, no doubt, by the constant and systematic coaching afforded by Mr. Francis Peabody, late of Cambridge, England, and several members of the old eight. This method of coaching, which in England has proved: so successful in giving form and fnish to the university crews, has never been followed in this country to the extent that its importance calls for; and until American crews are coached by experienced oarsmen in ‘‘tub pairs’ and tub eights” before they are put in the crank racing shells they will always exhibit those roughnesses which mar the appearance of a crew on the water, Desides losing them the benefit of a part of their power from their inability to use it to the best ad- It is gratifying to know that much more id to “style” than formerly, especially mong college crews, and it is to be hoped that, having taken the right start, it will be followed up until our cre are equal or superior to the English crews in this respect. While the Harvard men were at work thus diligently preparing an entirely new crew Captain Thompson, of Yale, with his usual energy, haa begun work with a part of his old crew and some sturdy freshmen and sophomores as yet untried in the ‘varsity boat. The Harvard crew took to the water for the first row of the season. on March 14, and the Yale crew were out about the same time, Notwithstanding the fact that the new Harvard crew were showing so much aptness in their work it was with feelings of the greatest de- light that the news of the return of four of the old crew, and perhaps five, to their places in the boat was received among the Harvard men. From these ien—Jacobs, Schwartz, Smith, Brigham and Stow—and from Otis, Howard, Hooper, Brande- gerand Simmons, of the candidates for the new crew, Captain Trimble will select the crew of ‘79, A few facts about the men and their records may be of interest to the readers of the HERALD. Martin R. Jacobs, of Brownsville, Pa., is @ senior ‘and has rowed on the ‘varsity ever since he entered college. He was No. 4 on the eight at Springfield in ’76, No. 4 on the six at Saratoga in the same year, No. 6 on the eight in Springtivid in '77 in the races egainst Columbia and Yale, and was No, 4 on the "varsity at New London last June. It will be noticed that Mr. Jacobs has rowed both on the port and starboard sides of the boat, and he has the reputa- tion of a first rate man on either side, Besides the university races Mr. Jacobs has rowed im many local college races, and has had the good fortune to be successful in many. In fact, the number of trophies gained in aquatic contests which adorn his room bear faithful testimony to success in no less han fifteen races. Jacobs is compactly built, with remarkably broad shoulders and well developed muscles. He is five feet nine and a half inches in height, twenty-two years of age and weighs 190 punds. Pevittiam H. Schwartz, of Bangor, Me., is also a Yenior, and has rowed since he entered college. In ‘reshman year he was taken in his class crew and 4in the boat at Saratoga, where he earned 1 tor faithfulness which has become pro- vYerbial among his college mates. In '77 he was in the ‘varsity boat at Springfield, pulling lustily in the Harvard victories over Columbia and Yalo in the responsib! position of No. 6, Last year be occupied the sume thwart in the boat, Dut the day before the crew left tor New London a painful abscess compelled him to give up his place, although he stayed until he could no to caret ul medical treat- sal condition into which m_ he was able to re- boat two days before the race sive pain, he pulled gal- longer hold his Bent and the ex: training had broug sume his place in t and, although suffering Than lantly throughout the r ioubly earning his share of glory. For. faithtul apphiation, honest work, good natnre aud irrepressible pluck Schwartz has not his equal in ail collegedom. He is at present ulling stroke and, although rather too heavy a man tr that position, whatever he is required to do will tertainly be done. Mr. Schwartz is five feet nine md « half inches in height, twenty-two years of age Wd Weighs 208 pounds. Frederick W. Smith, of Worcester, another senior, bas pulled next to Schwartz in all the latter’s races— No, 3 in his freshman crew and No, 7 in the ‘varsity. Lhis responsible position he tilled so well that oven experienced English oarsinen who saw him row could not restrain their admiration. He has no equal among college students in this position, and the only nan who could ever be said to rival him was the famous Kennedy, of Yale, Smith is a Her. vules ina boat, His back is long, his loins thick and broad and his legs of the most powerful cast. He has & long reach, & capital swing, a precision and evenness about his movements that remind one of piece of machinery. Added to these is the possession of first rate endurance, a quickness to pick up and communicate the stroke when changed to the rest of the crew, and indomitable resolution. It is not likely that Harvard for many a day will again claim a man of his qualifications as ® starboard stroke, Fora man of his weight and solidity it 1s somewhat re- markablo that instead ot being slow and logy in bis motions he is yery quick and is one of the beat boxers and fleetest runners in the college, Mr. Smith 4s five feet ten inches in height, twenty years of age and weighs 210 pounds. Nat M. Brigham, of Natick, whose fame as a tenor singer about Boston is beginning to rival his repu- tation as an oarsman, has pulled in the same boats with Smith and Schwartz in all their college races, He was stroke of his freshman crew and pulled No, 2, or port bow, in the ‘varsity. Brigham was one of the strongest, if not the strongest man, in the '78 boat, Although perhaps his “form” is somewhat infertor to that of some others in the same boat he has al- ways acquitted himself with credit in his races, and for pluck and endurance he has no equal. Bri is the possessor of remarkable pedestrian qual and often asionishes his acquaintances by the leng of his excursions. He is five feet ten and a halt inches in height, twenty-two years of age and weighs 20 pounds, Yau Der Lynn Stow, of San Francisco, Cal., isa junior. Before coming to college Mr. Stow had ae- quired some celebrity m the Golden State as an ama- teur walker, and under O’Leary’s tutorship he won several prizes. Sparring also engaged his attention, and so proticient was he in this art that he easily se- cured the championship of the college in his fresh- man year. He was a member of his class crew in freshman year, and when that crew broke up on fail- ure to get a race with some other freshman erew he tried for the ‘varsity, but as there were older and more experienced oarsmen in the college at that time even his great strength did not obtain him a seat in the boat. At the beginning of his sophomore year, however, he was given a seat in the boat, and so faithfully did he work and so well did he receive the coach's instructions that he was considered at the time of the race one of the best men in the boat. This opinion he fully s tained at New London by doing the heavy work at No. 5 with a power and endurance seldom witnessed in a new man, Stow has the good fortune to stand high in the estimation of his fellow students, and it was with much regret that not be able, from parental con lace inthe boat again. If, how fortune to row again he has pacity to make the best oar on the water in ‘79, bis great strength and long reach giving him an im- mense advantage, Mr. Stow is six toet one inch in height, nineteen years of age and weighs 212 pounds. Of the new men, James Otis, of Roxbury, is a sopho- more. He has never rowed before this year. From his build and from the progress he has made during the winter there is no reason to suppose that he will not in time bea capital oarsman. fo has good Joins, a long back and well developed legs. On the hydraulics he has shown good form and endurance, and doubtless may secure a seat in the eight. Mr. Otis is five feet cleven inches in height, twenty-one years of age and weighs 195 pounds. Herbert B, Howard, of lows Falls, Vt., is also a sophomore, and pulled No, 7 in his class crew at Owasco Lake last summer, He was considered one of the best men in his class boat. During the sum- mor he had the misfortune to injure his back, and was obliged to give up rowing for some time. About the Ist of January he was pronounced by his physi- cian well again, and has rowed since. Under the eyes of the coachers he has shown great improve- ment on the rowing machines, and will no doubt do himself eredit if he gets a seat in the boat. Mr. Howard is five fect nine and a halt inches in height, twenty years of age and weighs 175 pounds, William Hooper, of Boston, is a junior. He 1s new at the sport, having given his attention hitherto to iy brings to rowing, however, well de- veloped muscles aud a conscientious regard for the rules of training which will be of use to him here- after. He has taken to the stroke gait handily, and already shows good form. Mr. Hooper is five fect nine inches in height, twenty-three years of age and weighs 170 pounds. Edward D. Brandeger, of Utica, N. Y., is a sophomore, and puliedstroke of his class crew at Owasco last summer. Atter North, the captain of the crew, was prevented by an injury from rowing, Brandeger acted as captain up to and in the race, showing first rate talent for command and exe- cution, He is a wiry, muscular fellow, with lots of plnek and endurance, and by painstaking effort he has improved his style very materially during the past winter, Mr. Brandeger is five teet nine inches in height, twenty-one years of age and weighs 165 ands. Thornton Howard Simmons, of Boston, is also a sophomore, and has rowed since and before entering college. He has taken part in club raccs and has also devoted his attention to sculling. He is also pro- ficient in all the other athletic sports which Ameri- can youth indulge in, and was selected to represent his college at Mott Haven last June. Mr. Simmons is five fect ten inches in height, twenty-three years of age and weighs 175 pounds, Captain imble has rowed throughout his college course as a member of his class crew, of club crews and also as a member of the four chosen to row against the Union Boat Club four last June. He has already won the well merited confidence of the college by the masterly way in which he has handled the crew since his election. He will probably take the bow oar, and will have the advantage therefore of the best place from which to observe and control the crew in the boat, Captain Trimble is twenty years of age, five teet, ten inches in height, and weighs 170 pounds. The work during the winter has been substantially Shes puree by the university crew in "77 and ’78— i a pull of from six to eight hundred strokes daily on the hydraulic rowing machines, and after the run of a mile or two. This, in ad- ull & Sition to occasional long walks and the moderate use of Indian clubs and dumb bells, comprised the prescribed exercise. The candidates are required to get regular and sufficient sleep, to avoid ex- cess in eating and drinking, and also abjure ry trash, and in short all but the most wholesome ahd substantial food. The crew will not go to a train- ing table until May. At present most of the men board at Memorial Hall. Owing to some repairs upon the floats and gangways they will not be placed in position at present, and the rows of the crew in the cight will, therefore, not be so frequent for some time as when things at the \t- house are in working order, Captain Trimble is devoting much time at present to tak- ing his new mén out in* oars §=or “tubbing’ them, as the English say. The crew will usc, to begin their practice, the old iron-shod eight-oared barge which is about to see its fourth season, having twice assisted a Harvard crew to vic- tory. Captain ‘Trimble has some expectation of ordering a new and lighter barge to be used after some the roughness has been worn off of the men in‘the heavy boat and before getting into the racing shell. The paper shells of tne last two years will used by the crew later in the season, and for the race a new paper will be ordered from Waters & Son’s new model. The oars will be the same as those used for Pook mead three years manufactured py Donoghue, of Newburg, N. ¥. To guide the craft this year Har- vard has the services of Allen, the bright little coxswain of '77 and ‘78, but his frame has assumea proportions rather too stalwart for the ideal cox- swain, and he may be succecded in 7) by a tiny freshman who fon gation. this by no means easy ition. Harvard much in need of a steam yunch for coaching purposes, and in default of a bridle path to coach from this is now almost a necessary auxilary to her success. Last year one was hired for a month, but on account of its poor construction was almost worthless, aud had it not been for the energetic efforts of Mr. Wat- son, the coach, the crew would have fallen far short of its New London form. It is hoped by the crew that some generous graduate, who hus one of these useful little vessels, will feel enough interest in his alma mater to furnish them with its use for afew weeks in June and enable the coach to put on the finishing touches before the crew starts for the rac- ing ground. This year the race will be rowed at ‘New London, that place last year giving sufficient satisfaction to both colleges to induce them to try it again. In the course of a few weeks Captains Thomp- son and Trimble will meet at New London to forward the necessary arrangements for the race, Besides other matters an effort will be made to induce the Reo le of New London to provide better accommo- tions, by way of refreshments, at all events, than were offered last year to the immense crowd that thronged the streets of the little city on race day and threatened to eat it completely out, and also to secure the building of permanent quarters and boat houses for the crews. This looks as though the two bg seriously thought of estab- lishing the scene of their annual Boat race at New London and giving New Londoners a fat thing. If this is to be done in all probability the wishes of the students will be considered. hat the relative chances of the two crews are it 16 diflicult to decide at this early date. Harvard will have four, pervaps five, of her last year’s crew. Yale, with six of her last year's crew end an old and experienced captain, has the incentive which Harvard now lacks—namely, the sting of two successive defeats—to spur them to their utmost, and it would not be sw a if, correcting the mistakes of ist an 1878, Yale slipped in shead. She will have 4 better chance to do this if a surfeit of victory has rendered ard’s veterans apathetic. The Harvard freshmen, after failing to get a race with their natural rivals, the Yale tresh- men, were accommodated by the Columbia freshmen with a commendable spirit of aquatic pugnacity. ‘The fact that Harvard nas dared to arrange a tresh- man race, and moreover hus proposed to row that race at New London on the same day with the uni- versity race, has caused much unfavorable comment trom Yale men, who prefer that the ‘varsities should alone stir the salt waters of the Thames, and who re- gard with religious horror the intrusion of any fresh- man or single scull side shows. A Yale graduate has written several letters to the Harvard Crimeon, in which he takes strong ground against freshman races and adyocates the seclusion of the university race from ail distracting influences, ‘The sentiment at Harvard, howevor, seems to be against him, and it is probable that four eights instead of two will this year entertain the visitors at New London on race day. Harvard has at present among her stu- dente several very good secullerg. Mr. Peabody, Mr. Goddardand Mr. Griswold are among the most promi- nent. They have all taken exercise daily this winter on the rowing machines, and will Jaunch their shells in capital condition. |, who at present holds the single seull championship of the university, and who is regarded as likely to retain it the coming season (although likely to be crowded by Peabody), will row several matches with amateurs about Boston, and probably with Livingston, of Yale. The success of the past two years and the desire of the students to see the colors come to Cambridge again have awakened o great doal of aquatic outhusiasm at Harvard, In addition to the prompti- tude with which a new crew was started to take the place of the ola, when, on the 1st of March, it was announced that the executive committee of the bout club had determined to reinstate the systein of class races sbandoned five years ago to make room for the club system—which excited so little interest that lust spring but one crew was entered and last fall none at all—fifteen or twenty men came forward from each class and Ww to train faithfully for the ass. The races will on May, and promixe to be of ureat interest. Besides the college crews the students of the Law School also caught the spirit and determined to enter an eight against the academi- clans, They elected Mr, Peabody, one of their num- ber, captain and entered upon tho work ot prepara- tion with their customary vigor. It will be seen, therefore, that Harvard will have seven eights on the river inafew weeks. But more than all this, ti boats which were formerly the property of’ th house clubs when the club system was in yogue have been purchased by the University Boat Club, and will be let to such as care to row simply tor exercise for a fee sufficient to cover their actual runnii xpenses. These boats comprise tour six-oar laps, four-oared laps and abouta dozen singles, paire aud doubles. 'T' Private boats owned by differe in addition to the students, will be amply sufficient for all who care to row.

E. P. Livingston, Yale, '79, and W. N, Goddard, Marvard, '79, have decided to row at Lake Quiusi- gamond, Worcester, Mass., representing informally the respective colleges, The course will be two miles with a turn, No date has been fixed for tho event. Every pleasant day for the past week the men who are to row against Harvard as representa- tives of Yale could have been seen pulling about on the Quinnipiac River, while Captain Thompson strove to bring them down to rowing in good form. As yet the race with Harvard is the only rowing event which has engaged the attention of Yalensians seriously, although the “American Henley” project has found mention once or twice in boating meetings. The formation of a crew for the latter has, however, been frowned upon by the principal boating men, for the reason that all the energy of the University, ‘under the cireum- stances, should be, devoted to producing tho best possible crew to meet Harvard, and any boating event would be a distraction from the main purpose. Livingston, who is to row Goddard, of Harvard, does not really represent the University, though he will be supported by the influence of Yalo in his race. YALE ENCOURAGED. At this stage of tho season it looks as if Yale's rep- resentative crew, as compared with that of last year, has prospects which are not entirely *without en- couragement. In the first place, the men are heavier. In the second place, a radical departure has been taken by Captain ‘Thompson which vastly increases the chances of developing all the available strength of the material afforded. There isa leading reason why the chances are better than at a corresponding period in 1878, When it was learned that there was no chance for Harvard to send a crew to England her magnificent eight of 1878 virtually went to pieces, It was of no use forYale in 1878 to compete with such oarsmen. They had the advantage of three years’ experience and had reached perfection as nearly as could be, All that Yale had to inquire to learn the result of the contest on the Thames in 1878 was, “Is the Yale crew of 1878 better than that of 1877?” for Yale had to oppose her old antagonists who had de- feated her in 1877. It is doubtful if she had a better crew. The men were inexperienced; some were overtrained, and there were misfortunes which came fatally late to admit of even a fair record. Sho was beaten before Harvard had pulled the first quarter of @ mile, the distance between the two crews being steadily increased cach quarter, ENTHUSIASM IN ATHLETIC MATTERS. ‘Tho position of Captain Thompson on the football team had something to do with delaying the time for the present embryo Yale crewto go into regular training. Another thing was the cohesion of the Harvard eight. It was up hill work to expect men to work with a certainty of being beaten, which was the inevitable should Bancroft’s eight again take the water. Thus indirectly Yale was interested in the action of the English oarsmen, The certainty that they would not row Harvard put new life into Yale. Witn the opening of the present term an the pre- liminary gymnasium work of the candidates. All that had been done since the June regatta at New London to the beginning of the new term had been the training for and the participation in the annual fall regatta between class crews at Lake Saltonstall. Since, however, work has been really begun the ath- letic interest has been constantly looking up. Hs- pecially marked has been the enthusiasm among the freshmen, who had crews out within # tew weeks of the time they enterea the colleee. The whole body of collegians, moreover, showed their enthusiastic belief in athletics by the formation ot a new associa- tion, In the Scientific School there has also been an awakening interest. Enthusiasm being the basis ot enduring work it has been n to fear this, as stating one of the elements of Yale hopetulness in 1879, CANDIDATES AT WORK. When the term had fairly begun thirteen candi- dates went to work without delay in the college gyin- nasium. Since last year new rowing hts of an improved sein had been procured. ‘These were placed in basement of the old Alumni Hall, and thus there was one disadvantage oncountered—the er of catching cold in going between the two lings. ‘The advantage gained was that more men could work st once. The following table gives the names of the men, their weights, respectively, and height, who began work :— Height. Weight. Age. Ft In. Lbs, 23 5 10% 185 21 6 08 199 st ony 191 2 6 Wi 180 22 6 OL 195 » 21 6 160 21 6 OL 174 Bt 6 iL 187 20 6 os 192 Ww 6 0 192 2 6 il 179 119 5 08% 170 AN 1G, COMPARIBON. ‘These were the weights at the beginning of train- ing. Eston’s has probably changed, and, as the res were not at first officially known, none are ven, as they would unduly affect the averages. The averages concerning those of whom statistica are jiven above are as follows:—Average weight, fos 2-9 pounds; average height, 6 fect 10% Inches; average age, 20 7-12 years. Last year, at a nearly cor- responding period, there were eleven men in train- ing, whose averages were given as follow: Average height, 6 feet; average weight, 180 pounds; average , 20 years.

In fact, as far as goes, the “70 crew will start with very little more advantage than did that of ’7%, Why, then, are Yale’s chances better ? In addition to the reasons mentioned above— the disbundment of the Harvard eight and rior weight of the men—Yale counts on Cap- n’s new departure, Heretofore a cer- tain number of candidates have gone into training under the supervision of the captain of the crew. About Washington's Birthday the captain has se- lected the crew and substitutes. This effectually barred further competition. This year the se:ection of the crew will not be made until about the middle ot April. In the meantime the thirteen candidates mentioned will pull at every opportunity, They began to board together about three weeks ago. ‘When the weather does not permit outdoor exercise the work is done in the gymnasium, By this exten- sion of tine some men not considered very promis- ing now may still develop considerable proficiency at rowing. ‘TRAINING AND DIFT, as can be ascertained here ont; m3, Jacobs and Carter, of Ha: "78, will row this season, Of the Yalecandidates Thom, son, Rogers, Hyde and Taft are old men. All of these are strong and good oarsmen, and half of the ‘79 crow in all probability is thus formed, All that is needed is hard work to make the others nearly or equally as promising. It will be noticed that t are two freshmen among the candidates, The fresh man Class crew at the fall regatta did such good work as to show that confidence in them was not misplaced. ‘The training does not and will not materially differ from that of the last year’s eight. ‘The men go out very little evenings and are expected As noar!; Schwartz, Smith, Brig! rd to retire early. Then they rise just before break- ti There is work at the rowing hts and walk- ing and ronning anda daily pull of from three to four miles. tf the longth of the pulls will be In- creased and all the work will be done on the water. ‘Tho diet excludes all deleterious ingredients, and i atunined up in the words “plain and wholesome food.” Through the coming vacation of one week all the men will remain, and at the ond of the week who will be on the crow will be virtually settled. Tho first day the candidates were out they were in two boais, something on the idea of Harvard, which keops two eights in training. ‘The navy’s finances are in @ fair condition, and everything auguts suc- cessful and at care satisfactory work. The spring regatta wili occur on May 20, but the Uni- versity crew will not participate. ‘ THE INTERNATIONAL ROWING AS- SOCIATION OF GENEVA, Gueva, Switzerland, March 6, 1879. Some months ago a circular was sont to the col- leges and the chiet rowing clubs of America pro- posing the formation of an “International Rowing Association of Geneva.” Tho answers which have project therein advocated, The following officers have been elected :-— Honorary President—Sir Robert Peel. Honorary Vice Presidents—The foreign Consuls in Geneva, Commodore—Benjamin ¥. Brady, Esq. Vice Commodore—F. 8. Gulston, Esq., of the Lon- don Rowing Club, President—J, Eglinton Montgomery, United States Consul at Geneva, ‘The Executive Committes comprises many influ- ential gentlemen of all nations, doing business or re- siding in Geneva. They meet to-day for the purpose of devising means to secure the necessary funds for the proposed regatta, About $15,000 are required, If they are successful @ professional single soull race for the championship of the world and money prizes to the value of $6,000 will be added to the pro- gramme. Tne United States Consul at Manchester, Colonel Shaw, is active in the mattor regarding Eng- lish oarsmen. The races will comprise four-oared shells, pair-oared and single sculls, Woe are satisfied that if England is represented many American oars- men will come over. There is no doubt about Ger- man clubs, also Swiss, and the Austrian Consul proms ises eight clubs from Vienna. “THE KENNEL, FORTHCOMING SHOW OF THE PHILADELPHIA KENNEL CLUB. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) PHILADELPHIA, March 23, 1879, ‘The many exhibitors and dog fanciers who will be present at the New York kennel show next month will be interested in learning that, from present appear- ances, everything points to the almost certainty that the first bench show of the Philadelphia Kennel Club, to be opened in the Industrial Art Building on April 21 and to extend over the four following days, will be as successful an exhibition of the kind as has ever been held under the auspices of any similar society. Applications for space in all classes are coming in with gratifying rapidity, and the probability is that at the beginning of the month the very limited quantity of accommodation now remaining will be entirely disposed of. It was ut first thought immediate precedence of the New York show would be productive of ill success, inasmuch as distant owners of dogs would be en- cumbered with double expense in exhibiting at both shows. But this fact is an advantige in many cases, as Western exhibitors will catch both shows at once. Letters are being received every mail by the Ex- ecutive Committee from gentlemen desirous to send their best strains, Mr. Luther Adams, owner of the noted dog Drake, will send the cream of his kennel, as will also Mr. John Higgins, the owner of Lincoln, Mr. Long, of Detroit, being one of the judges, will send his dog Coin for exhibition only. Arnold Burgess will send from his Rob Roy Kennel Rob Roy, Rufus and Druid, and for the pup class Mabel, Daurel and Lotta. Mr. P. H. Morris, of New York, the ownor of the famous dogs Lark and Czar, will send on some of his best specimens. ‘The prizes in all departments are numerous, valu- able and worth striving for, silver medels in many cases being given oven to the third animal of a class. Philadelphia sportsmen pride themselves on their field dogs, and it 1s doubted if tg city in the coun- try can successfully compete with local cxhibitors in this department. Imported dogs, or blue bloods, are scarce here. The hound class will be a large one, and perhaps such as has never been seen before. ‘There are at. least Bt d packs of foxhounds in this city, but only the pick of these will be sent to the exhibition, Highly advantageous Bovcpemente have been made by the club with the railroad companies cen- tring in the city, which will transport free of charge all dogs sent on exhibition when accompanied by the owner or a manincharge, All entries close on the Sth of April. RIFLE SHOOTING POSITIONS. To rae Eprror or THE HERALD:— Noticing in # late issue of the Hzratp that the National Riflo Association has under consideration the allowing of ‘any position” in military matches at 500 yards and longer distances, and feeling that the views of some of the riflemen should be publicly cousulted, 1 take the liberty to write you on afew points that will interest every military marksman visiting Creedmoor. First—Why do we go to Oreedmoor? Is it not to prepare ourselves for what transpires in actual ac- tion? Wouldit not, then, be a funny sight to see two contending lines popping at each other over or be- tween the solos of their upturned army shoes, while in the “back position,” which General Wingate wishes (for the suke of the Seventh, perhaps), to allow in the coming competitions at Creedmoor? Would not the soldier sooner assume the “front position” and rost his rifle over some fmendly stone orstump? Failing in this his knapsack could be utilized. At Wimbledon the “back position” has been allowed, and now what is the result? I have it from a reliable source that great pressure is being brought to bear on the council to return to the “front ition” for a number of reasons. In tho latter position one consumes less time in firing. He is algo less liable to shoot on the w: target, and by so doing injure for life an unoffending marker. ‘ho that has seen 8 marker coming w, m the pits with bleeding hands or arme, head bandaged, or as br eee at Creedmoor once, an eye put out, would not regard with disfavor the alluring innova- tion? It is true better t scores can be made in the “back position,” for the natural variation of the rifle in the *‘back” and “front” due to the pulsations ot the heart and other causes is as three to five; but give the contestants their knapsacks to rest their rifles on and the practice gained in matches could be utilized in actual service. Second—In small bore shooting at 500 and over the National Rifle Association should put a carton ring, counting six, in the bull’s-eye. It'would do away with the unavoidabie ties at 500 and 600 yards at least. Such a count was tried at the spri: mecting of 1877, when the late general Dakin took “first,” with a jer score than an average of 22-inch bull’s-eyes, at the 800,900 und 1,000 yards, A 36-inch betta to count five is too large. One shooter puts bullet within an inch of the very centre of the bull's-eye, but no more credit than another, indifferent marksman perhaps, who strikes eighteen inches from the same spot. Let the National Rifle Association take an advance step and put an 1sinch carton circle in the lo: range bull’s-eye. M, FARROW. New York, March 17, 1979. “NAPHIHA GAS. A week from to-day, it is expected by many, Mayor Howell, of Brooklyn, will veto the action of the Board of Aldermen in relation to lighting the city by naphtha oil instead of coal gas, ‘The vote was passed by 13 to 10, and strenuous efforts will be made to secure four more votes, by which the resolution can be adopted im spite of the veto, It was supposed that the company intended making its gas in ite own works and serving it to the city lamps through the pipes now used by the gas companies, but as “those Pipes are the property of the gas companies, in which the city has no right, that course cannot be pursued. ‘The new company is to take down all the lamps now in use and furnish new ones.” h lamp is 9 naphtha oil reservoir. It consists of a large glass globe sup- ported by four iron uprights. On the top is a cap of tin or other metal, akind of covered busin, which must be filled daily, the supply being sufficient to furnish light ten or twelve hours. From this basin @ feeder carries the oil to the burner inside the globe, where the gas is generated and turned on at will by means of acock, This necessitates the employment . of aforce of fillers and cleaners, the latter a prime essential on account of the sooty deposit, It is said that certain property owners will raise the point that the lampposts on the strects do not belong to the city, but are private pi y, aa the holders of real estate are taxed for their purchase, It is also denied that Judge McCue and Colonel ro G. Keency are large purchasers of the naphtha CAPTURED IN PHILADELPHIA. William FE. Barnes, of Clinton street, Brooklyn, the young man who, it is alleged, swindled several busi- ness men of Brooklyn by means of bogus checks on the Chemical Bank of this city, was arrested in Philadelphia on Friday last, The Brooklyn police learned that ho was married on Monday night last to Miss Mary A, Mount, of No. 331 Degraw street, that city, The couple were traced to Taylor's Hotel in Jersey City, where they had stopped on slay | night. From there they went to Phila. delphia, and the Brooklyn officers learning this fact toleyraphed a description of them to the police of Philadelphia, and requested the arrest ‘This as above stated, ive Looney, of the Police Central Ofice, Brook- lyn, was sont to Philadelphia for the purpose of bringing Barnes back, but, not having requisition from the Governor of this State, was unable to do so. After securing & large portion of Barnes’ elegant wardrobe he returned to Brooklyn in company with Mrs. Barnes, who expressed a desire to return to her home yesterdsy. When sho went to the residence of her parents they did not seem in- clined to ailow her to remain in the house, and she ‘le's house in Bridge street, vhere she stopped last night.

ARRIVAL OF BENJAMIN PORTER'S REMAINS IN THIS CITY—MEETING OF ACTORS TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF THEIR MURDERED FRIEND— HIS FAMILY TO BE PROVIDED FOR, Pursuant to the notice published in yesterday's HERALD a meeting of actors was held yesterday at three P. M. in the ledge room of the Elks Associa- tion, Clarendon Hall, East Thirteenth street, to de- termine what measures were to be adopted to show proper respect to the memory of Benjamin C. Porter, the murdered actor, and to make some provision for his family, Nearly one hundred actors were present, among whom wero Barton Hill, Joseph Wheelock, Tony Pastor, Owen Faweett, Leon- ard Grover, “Tom” Morris, T. Grattan Riggs, E, M. Holland, Frank Evans, Nelson Decker, G, R. Sprague, J, W. Shannon, J. L, Govsiu, G. W. Farron, Milnes Levick, Frank Sanger, Harry Duffield, John J. Sheridan, E. H.

Allston Brown secretary, aud An- drew Dam, Jr., treasurer. Mr. Smith then said that ho had undertaken to learn the necessary steps to be taken to secure a plot in Evergreen Cometery for Mr. Porter's burial, but that he had left the matter in the hands of the undertaker and would be unable to report until to-day: Hewas assured, however, that a plot could be sccured at about one-half the regular charge. Mr. Nathan then suggested that the first thing proper to be done was the opening of a subscription list, so that the money should be in hand for the expensos attending the burial as they should be incurred, tho balance to go toward the fund for the relief of the family, The suggestion, as worded, led to some misapprebension, and some of the gentlemon present said that probably all would prefer to subscribe on the lists to be hung up in the greenrooms of the differant theatres. It was at length determined to open a list for such as preferred to subscribe at the Lchsslpee, the money to go into the general fund and be used, as required, for burial expenses and for the relief of the family, ‘THE SUBSCRIPTION LIST. A short recess was taken, and the following list was quickly made up, many of those present preferring to wait until the tists should be opened at the vari- oys theatres with which they are connected :— tod A, M.

Allston Brown, requesting him to take charge of her son's ers, papers and other veya until after 1 funeral. A despatch from R, E. Stevens, of Chicago, was read, in which Mr, Stevens expressed his sym- pathy with the object of the meeting, and subsecril $25 toward a fund to be raiseg to secure the convic- tion of the murderer Currie. Another des; from J. W. Collier, of Philadelphia, pledged $25 toward the snbseription. A despatch from Colonel Sinn, of klyn, was slso read, expressing his readiness to co-operate. Mr. Sanger that he was instructed by Mr. Abbey and Mr. Lester Wallack to say that they would do anything in their power to aid in accom- plishing tho purpose of the meoting, which they eartily approved. Mr. Edwards spoke in a similar strain for Herri wh «& Rated Ranged i, were loing anything the mee! 0) di rig a Mr. Le F. Nacnin said the same thing tor Mr. ‘kins, of the Fifth Avenue Theatre. The socrotary was instructed to take memoranda of those offers for the use of any committee that should be chosen to take charge of the matter, Mr. Barton Hillsuggestod thut, in order to Insure matic and effective action, it would be well to int a committee sub-committees. He had no doubt that the profession all over the country would begine to co-operate, and for the purpose of roperly directing their efforts he thought it would well to appoint the managers as such committees. ‘Mr. Wallack, as the oldest manager, should be chosen resident of the New York committee, which should be the main committee; Mr. Smith, the chai the meeting, should be vice president, ai the other managers should be pat on the list. Tho sub- committees shonid be the managers in the different ut this suggest nin the nije fa motion, and it yu suggestion ofa motion, an ¥ carried, Mr. Wa! then ranged, It was, he thought, s most appropriate casion on which to bs segh to the public. The churches and the charitable hg coy eyo he said, were constant); appeal to theatres for ben- efits, and now the public should be asked to support a benefit for an actor who had been so p> pily carried off. Considerable discussion followed this, some objecting to -the idea, but the prevailing sense of the meeting was clearly favorable to the proposition, It was dotermined, however, that arrangement of the details should be left to the committee, APPROPRIATE BESOLUTIONS, Mr. Hill offered the following, which was adopted :— Resolved, That wo dosire to offer our sincerest thanks to the citizens of Marshall, Texas, for their sympathy an sistance to the dramatic company of which Mr. Porter was & member on this sad occa: |, And that we firmly believe they will do all in thelr power to Dring tho assasaln betore the bar of Justice.

This was not fayorably received, the majority thinking that the full measure of justice would be meted out to the desperado who iiled the one actor and wounded the other. Mr. Edwards thought this was doubtful. Texas, he said, was not ® place whore justice gonerally’ reachod assassins. “Only the other day,” said he, “a man ‘was arrested in Omaha who had committed fourteen murders, and word was sent to this very town of Marshall. ‘The people there gent back word that they hadn’t the money to send a shoriff after him and he wes allowed to yo (roe. Messrs.

CHABLES WAT ods OBITUARY. PROFESSOR JOHN SHERREN BREWER, ENGLISH HISTORIAN, . Rey. J. 8. Brewer, rector of Toppesfield, Essex, late professor of English literature in King’s College, London; preacher at the Rolls Chapel and editor of ‘several volumes of English historical records in the Rolls series, died at Toppesfield Rectory on the 16th ult. He was born in 1810, graduated in 1833 af Queen’s College, Oxford, with first class honors in classics; was for some years a successful tutor and published an edition of Aristotle‘s “Nicomachean Ethics,” with nglish notes, which, though never reprinted by him, is still used as a text book at Oxford. Subsequently he was ordained in the Church of . England, entered with great zeal into parochfal work among the poor of London, and was for some time chaplain toa workhouse. In 1839 he was appointed lecturer in classical literature in King’s College, London, and in 1841 professor of the English language and litera- turo in that institution, to which he gave the best energies of his life, accomplishing a great educa- tional work and exerting a rare influence upon hig pupils. Professor Brewer edited ‘Fuller's Church History” and “Field on the Church,” for the Uni- versity of Oxford, but he is best known to the public by his scholarly labors as editor of the ‘Treasures of English State Papers," buried in the British ar- chives and disentombed by the patient toil of several modest workers, who have furnished the materials for thoroughly new views of the course of. English history. His labors in this direction were commenced when he was appointed by the late Lord Romilly, Master of the Rolls, to edit the calendars of State yrelat- iny to the reign of Henry VII. It would have been hard to find # man so competent for this difficult task, for he combined a singular knowledge of ' medimval and of modern history, and possessed a not less remarkable cupavity for sympathizing with the yarious and divergent ideas embodied in those two periods of life and thought. He was a thorough schalar, an udmirer of the great schoolmen aud an enthusiastic adherent of the age of the Reformation, but was ut same time rigidly exact and cons¢ien- tions in his researches and always realy to acquiesce in the overthrow of his own theories by indubitable evidence, Ho was master of a singularly graceful and correct English style and made many valuable contributions to periodical literatare. ‘The results of his labors on the sixteenth century are buried in long introductions to the calendars which he edited. They are highly valued by scholars and historians, but are inaccessible by their form to or- dinary readers and are little known even to literary circles, Unfortunately his labors comprise little more than half ot the period ot Henry VIII.; but so far as they extend they form the very best history of an important period, and rank in merit with the works of such men as Edward A. Freeman and Canon Stubbs. Professor Brewer was for some time librarian to the Marquis of Salisbury and rendered great public service in the interpretation of the vast historical materials at Hatfield House. Professor Brewer also accomplished heroic work as an educator, With all his vast stories of learning, he was thoroughly modest and unassuming, and could gain the confi- dence and esteem pf his pupils to a very remarkable degree. Evidence of this fact was supplied in 1877, on his resignation of the chair he had so long held, when a testimonial was o! him by many ot the promiment names in English litera- ture, In 1870 he was clected honorary fellow of Queen’s College, Oxford; published in 1872 “The Athanasian Origin of the Athanasian Creed,” and in 1874 edited, with Mr, William Bullen, ‘The Cilendar of the Carew Manuscripts Preserved in the Archiepis- copal Library at Lambeth.” In 1876 he was mated by Lord Beaconsfield with the Crown living of Toppestield, near Halstead, Essex, with an income of £1,120, which afforded him at once a recompense for faithful service hoor - much pment A perth for vg declinit @ appointment was well inesnt, but it had tho} verse effect of withdrawing Pro- fessor Brewer from those uncompleted labors in which he had few rivals, and entailing upon him the laborious and unfamiliar duties of @ country pare sonage. JOHN FREDERICK FRAIL, ENGLISH SPORTSMAN. John Frederick Frail, Mayor of Shrewsbury, Eng- land, died in that town on the 9th inst. in his seventy-fifth year after au illness of about six weeks, The deceased was the senior partner in the firm of Messrs. Frail, handicappers, and was clerk of the course at the following among other meetings:— Shrewsbury, Manchester, Northampton, Windsor, and until recently, Bristol. He was a native of Shrews- bury, and had been a member of the Council for a number of years. The veterans of the turf are pass. ing rapidly away, and though Mr. Frail had not the same social eminence as Admiral Rous, Mr. George Payne and Genoral Peel, he was nevertheless one of the most popular of racing officials, while it is not too much to say that he dia more for the welfare of tho sport with which ho was so intimately associated for upward of halfa century than many of the leaders and stewards of the Jockey Club. It was Mr. Frail's am- bition to make every race meeting with which, as clerk of the course, he was officially connected, successful in the best sense of the word. He was not content, that is to say, with making it profitable to himself by giving uncom- romiving gamblers unlimited opportunities of races of almost nominal from the fund, whue insuring the competition of animals very superior to thove which are, as a rule, to be found _contestin; the prizes at country atherings, How far succeeded in this may + best by Kaeo | the records of the Shrewabury meeting, which from small be- ginnings has become one of the principal fixtures of the season, and this because Mr. F: who had associated himself with its fortunes, had the wit to see that in these days ot competition the biggest bait would catch the higee, fish. Instead Ing con- tent to add a paltry hundred pounds or two to the chief races in his ramme, he boldly set the example of travelling into four figures, and that his venture was well inspired may be gathered from the fact that other clerks of courres, to an I of the Jockey Club itself, went and aia jewise, Mr. Frail made the Shrew: aque it, na it harac: est, an was cl a eatdom in which held that whereever took up the reins of office success was lovked upon as as- sured, The Northampton and Huntingdon fixtures, to mention but two of those which have recent! come within his dircetion, were almost in articulo mortia, but his vivitying influence soon made itself felt, while his personal popularity enabled him to get all the great names of the turf upon his subscription lists. As a Mr. Frail was probably unsw even he iral Rous, and thongh he had, like the latter gallant sportsman, to sustain the shatts of feep ss inted tatters atyeeaenad Ret a? was pro oon a of apportioning the weights he neither fear nor favor.
