From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser,
The Great Western and the Princeton.

II Considerable exciiempnt was manifcs-
ted on Friday afternoon by the public,
in expe citation of n race between the
iavorite steamer Great Western and
the new visiter in our waters, the u. S.
steamer Princeton, Capt. Stockton.
The Princeton had been playing about
the river and bay during The morning
About a quarter before 8 o'clock the
Great Western came down the Fast
River, with apparently good head Of
steam on, and all sails set, to make the
most ofthe breeze which was blowing
fresh and layoraL!y in waiting her out to
sea.
After the Great Western had passed
the Battery, the Princeton, some dis
tance sstern, without single sail set,
gave chase, and both ships headed
directly for the quarantine. The Prince
ton rapidly gained on and finally pissed
the Great Western, thus giving evidence
,hut those who had spokea most highly
Of the speed Of the former had not in the
least overraied her powers.
The Princeton is propelled by ERI cs.
soSs's propeller, fixed in her stern and
far below the surface Of the water (;
while her engine is placed upon her
keel near tho stern, and the top OF it ten
feet BELOW her water line.
II is bu, justice 10 state that 80 far as
the Great Western is concerned there
could be no concerted race between the
two vessels. 1t is contrary to the ex-
press orders of the company by whom
the vessel is owned, and the agents here
positively deny that any preparation was
made by Capt. Hosken to test the sailing
qualities Of the vessel which he CON
minded, with those Of The Princeton.
Since the above was written we have
been furnished with the following copy
Of letter written by Capt. Hosken, ond
received by the pilot who safely con
Quoted the Great Western TO sea.
/ NV dear ir,--l have veIy great plea
sure in stating to you the fact Of the
Great Western being fairly passed b,
the Princeton, ut from half 10 three
quarters Of mile per hour the Grea
" estern going near nine knots and I
half il is true that the Great Wesien
is deep in the wster, rather more 81
than usual still it conyinces me, on'
will, ! think, the public also, that on
iron ship, the Great Britain, will, to q
moral certainty, surpass every STEAMSHIP
that has gone before her.

Horrible Affair at New Haven.

We copy the following shoetins and
melancholy particulars from tho New
Haven Herald of Friday.
Death of TUDOR D~ighi. have
today to perform the melancholy duty
Of annou ncing the death Of Mr. John
Breed Dwight, n Tutor in Yale College,
caused by one Of Those unfortunate freaks
which agitaIe the younger members ol
Yale College, after their annual admis'
son 10 the institution. Immediately af'
ter the commencement Of the present
academic term, some young rowdies ol
the advancing clnsses were pSy'ng their
respe cts to the Freshmen in courss OF
introduction prohibited by The rules ol
the institution, which Mr.. Dwight, with
others, attempted to suppress.
In the performance of this duty, he
seized n young man named Lewis Fss-
silt, Of Philadelphiu, and was in the act
Of drawing him TO The light in order ia
recognize b,m, when Fass,i drew a
knife or dirk, Of some kind, and gave
him three successive stabs near the
groin, and almost pep-tratinQ the teiDo-
ral artery, which would have heen in
s,s ntly fatal. Tutor Dwight has beer
suffering ever since, and n6twIthsland
iny all The exeriions Of the Medical
Faculty, and the kindest assiduity o
his family aud friends, fever ensusd
which, arcr intense suffering, has ter
minaie ed in death. II is n sad calamity
which not only calls forth The warmes
sy mpa,hies of our community for the suf.
Cerers, but deep and damning repre-
hension Of any ones carrying deadly
weapons about his person, especially
young men, whose passions are not
soothed or regulated ny the calm die
tates Of reason and experience.
Tutor Dwight wns a son Of Mr..
James Dwight, Of this city, late Of Rich
mond, Va, and grandson Of the late
President Dwight. He was only 81
years of age, and graduated ut Yale
College in the class of 1910. He was
n gentleman Of fine promise, and his
loss will make a serious void in the ST.
caI and literary circle 10 which he was
attached.
Fassi,i, the young man who now
stands guilty Of perpe'rating the highest
crime known 10 our laws, has left The
CITY, and will probably escape. We
understand, however, that measures
have been Instituted for his aop,ehen-
sion, and that a requisition will be made
TO the Governor OF Pennsylvania for his
surrender to the hands Of justice.
