ENDUBMNGE WIS ~BICEFRVLE Harvard Eight Is Beaten In the Last Half Mile of the Course. Eli's Freshmen Have an Easy Time—Crimson Quartet Sole Winners. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 27.—In a race never excelied on the Thames, Yale's ‘varsity won to-d the great Iinter- university event of the year in the last half mile of the four-mile course by 2 scant two lengths contest was witnessed s observation trains, d points of vantage along the | znks. To Yale also fell the honor of a vietory in the freshman race. Harvard to-night takes 2 single consolation in the fact that her 'varsity four walked away | from the Yale quartet. The race between the ‘varsity eights was delaved until wind and tide con-| tions were favorable. It was 6:30 o'clock | in the evening when Referee Merkiehem | caused the whistle on the yacht Nushka | be blown as a signal for the rival! hts to prepare. At exactly 7 o'clock | Yale oarsmen launched their shell at | i d five minutes later were ! paddiing leisurely half a mile dov to tc the starting po! the river. Harvard was | but two minutes behind Yale and went across the river to the accompaniment of the Harvard band. There was no loss of time and at 7:14 both boats were in position, receiving in- | ructions from the referee. Yale had the east course, while Harvard occupied the | west.

As| the shells approached the navy yard there | was & perceptible gain for the blue and Jeading for the first time in the race. The margin, however, was dangerously nar- row. Harvard was one second behind, but on the next half mile she again wrested the lead away from Yale, and at the two and a half miles Harvard led by just Those on the official vachts, some of whom were oarsmen of former days, at this junct began to talk about the race | -with enthusiasm. Thus far it had been agnificent, and the performances of the @t promised o heart-breaking finish. ‘The Yale men pulled like glants, but Har- vard was working with just as much power and ill. As a result Yale was unable to creep up and Harvard actually drew ahead further one-fifth of a| second, p: the three-mile station three-fifths of a second ahead. - The lead of the crimson oars was to be esti— mated not in lengths but in mere feet and | inches. The shells entered the finishing | mile with beautiful water conditions t tween the long lane of yachts, and it re- d £ hi: to afford the most Thames for many a year.

Yale was at the railroad bridge @t 4:65 and the Harvard youngsters were | five ‘minutes behind. It required neariy | fifteen minutes for the crews to take their placets in the shells. Yale took the lead at the start and was never headed.

A strange game and a good one was played at Recreation Grounds yester- day afternoon, when the Senators met the ‘Wasps in the initial hostilities of the se- ries. At the outset the pretzel destroyers fell upon Bapho Harper's curves for four hits, which resulted in five runs. Then Harper settled like stale beer and was undiscoverable ever after. Iburg twirled for the home team, and despite the eight hits made off his delivery not a single Senator crossed the bags for a run. The Senators were bombarded with ill luck y=sterday.

At that time about $27,000 was de- posited with the Union Trust Company pending the outcome of litigation to de- termine whether the teachers or mer- chants were entitled to the money. A compromise - was. afterward effected, whereby the merchants released the sum of $7000 to the teachers, who received a small percentage of their Individual sal- ary demands, less about spent as at- torney’s fees. It is this $7000 that Powers wants returned to_the merchants. Acting Auditor Wells declined to, hold out the sum named, as he thinks the dis- pute is a matter to be settled between the teachers and merchants. Powers there- upon expressed his intention to sue out a writ of injunc‘ion to restrain the Auditor from paying the teachers the fuil amount of the balance due them until the mer- chants are paid the $7000. The agreement ;mder which the suit will be brought fol- ows: The merchant creditors having claims against the school fund of 18%8-1899, which the Union Trust Company holds as their assignee, shall execute and deliver to the Auditor and to the Teachers' Committee a written agreement to the effect that the. merchant creditors and the Union Trust Company agree that none of their unpaid demands shall be audited or paid until all of the salary demands of teachers and janitors for Novemiber, 1596, shall have been audited and there shall have come into the echool fund of 1898-18% a sufficient sum to pay all of the demands for November, 1808, Union Trust Company to pay Auditor Wells the sum of 37000, to be divided among the teachers signing the agreement. 3 e e e T e e e e e e o Cleveland to-day by a little scientific bunting in the first and sixth and a bunching of their hits in the fourth.

Burglars who, yesterday morning broke | into the saloon of C. Eastman, at the cor- ner of Mason and Ellis streets, en- deavored to hide their crime by deliber- ately setting fire to the premises. ‘When Proprietor Eastman closed the sa- loon at 2 in the morning he carefully locked the side and front doors and went to his residence at the corner of Turk and Jones streets. At 4:30 yesterday morning Police Of- ficer Harry Hook and Special Officer Mas- sey were walking along Ellis street and tried the side door of KEastman’s saloon. The door yielded to their touch and when it opened a volume of smoke poured out into the street. Hook turned in a fire alarm and with Massey dashed into the saloon and put out the flames that were licking the walls of the premises. In the rear of the sa- loon where two ‘“private boxes” were lo- cated, the officers discovered three -dis- tinct fires. Heaps of ofl-saturated paper ‘were lying on the floor. The burglars had set fire to the paper in the hope of de- stroying the saloon and wiping out all traces of robbery. The officers took buckets of water and before the fire apparatus arrived suc- ceeded in quenching the flames that threatened to destroy the building. The proprietor of the saloon was called to the scene by Willis Davis, who_for- merly worked as a bartender for East- man. Eastman informed the police of- ficers that when he left his saloon he had carefully locked the place. The front door is fastened with a Yale lock, while the side door has only an ordinary lock that could be opented with a skeleton key. Fire Marshal Towe questioned Eastman and ‘was satisfied that he had no knowl- edge of the cause of the fire. Detectives Wren and Dinan were placed on the case by Chief of Detectives Seymour and they learned that a number of hoodlums had been in the habit of frequenting East- man’s saloon and had been refused free drinks and loans of money. Eastman in- formed the detectives that he suspected his saloon had been set on fire by some of these hoodlums, and that he especially suspected a certain stable boy. Investiga- tion by = Detectives Wren and Dinan showed that a drawer containing $8 in cash had been rifled and a slot machine opened by means of a burglar's “jimmy.” L e e e e ] ] day and ‘“‘cut in” the following day.

The cup challenger took a sail-stretch- ing spin to-day, while the former chal- lenger, the Shamrock I, and the Kariad were sajling a2 match race of forty-three miles. It was an ideal day for the pur- pose. The sun was shinlng and a light wind was blowing. The challenger car- ried only her lower canvas and towed a small boat. Captain Sycamore seemed to aveid anything in the nature of a trial of speed, but during a couple of tacks the challenger found herself going in the same direction as the Kariad and over- hauled the latter in a remarkable manner.

The Shamrock I beat the Kariad by four minutes in the first round, 143 miles, and wo&q by thirty minutes and eighteen sec- onds. Mr. Herreshoff Jr.'s yacht the Nevada beat her rival, the Tutfy, by twelve min- utes and forty seconds. ——— & Playing Cards and Poker Chips.

PHOTO BY BUSHNELL. <+ . 2 and Carter, the light heavy-weights, and Bernstein and Callahan, lightweights, who have just graduated from the feather class. These four men will meet to-night in fistic combut and the public antici- pates two contests far beyond anything seen of late in San Francisco. Both Root and Carter are trained to a nicety. Root’s last day at Alameda was put in by some heroie, racking life-saving. The story goes as follows: ALAMEDA, June 27.—Jack Root, who is training at Johnny Croll's for his dght with “Kid” Carter of Brooklyn, turned hero this afternoon and saved a group of children playing in the street near his training quarters from being trampled be- neath the feet of runaway horses. Root is not saying much about his own bravery and is inclined to look upon it as some- thing that ought to be expected of him, but friends who saw say that he did a brave act, with no little danger to his own life and limbs. Root came out of his quarters just after some heavy work with his trainers in time to see a team of horses attached to a grocery wagon dashing down Central ave- nue at a galloping pace. Not a hundred yards in front of them were several chil- dren playing a game of some kind in the street, and totally oblivious of the im- pending danger. Taking in the situation at a glance, the pugilist ran across the street to intercept the horses. As they passed him in their mad career he jumped for a rein that was hanging loose from the horse nearest him. Holding on with all his might and brac- ing himself against the railroad tracks that line the avenue, he drew back. The effect of this movement, which was all done in a good deal less time than it takes to tell it, was to throw the horse on its haunche: and to bring both to a standstill, where- they snorted and ca- reened to no purpose. Joe Bernstein, who is matched with Cal- lahan, has rounded into shape and seems happy over his chance to win a fight, and a few bets for all concerned. Bernstein is a shifty ani strong man, but when he shakes hands with Callahan to-night he will meet his equal every Gegree. Great interest is centered in this first number on the programme.
