rum ait new IidNeu Idliaulum OF May IL.
The YALE NAvY.-When the Yale boatmcn
gained such Il splendid victory last year. beat
ing not only the best boat and the far famed
crew OF Han ward, but the best time ever made
by SIX Dared boats, 1t was easy to foresee that
another season would bring greatly increas-
ed interest III boating among the collegians.
The interest shown in boating at Yale this
year far exceeds any thing ever before seen in
our harbor. a new constitution, contemplat-
ing an entire reorganization of the navy upon
the system of English universities, has been
adopted, and several very interesting races
are IN prospect The new plan of organization
has been the dream OF the boatmen Tor several
years, and at last the intiatory steps have been
taken by the clubs of the present freshman
class. 1t is proposed to abolish altogether the
class clubs, and to have but three clubs in col
lege with members i'll each from every class,
so that places made vacant by the departure
OF each senior class shall be filled by elections
from the newly arrived freshmen of that year
The present freshman class having adopted it,
III three years more the old and worn out plan
OF class clubs will be entirely abandoned
The Yale navy now includes nine clubs
one scientific, three freshman, two sophomore,
and three junior-and owns in all sixteen
boats The crack boat-the Yale-in which
the victory Of last year was won, is owned by
lle navy, commanded by the commodore, and
pulled by picked crew from all the classes
Her crew for the coming year has been made
up as follows Stroke, commodore, H. L.
johnson, C. I. Stanton, W. E. Bradley, IL.
w. Camp, L. L. Richards, Brayton Ives
coxswain, IL. c. Emo.
The clubs Of the Junior class own six six
Dared boats, two of them shells. The sopho-
more clubs have three six cared boats, one of
them a shell. The scientific department own
one eight-oared barge and four-oared she'll
The Freshmen have four boats, one of them
she'll. There are no clubs in the Senior class
We may expect several very interesting re-
gattas this year. First in Importance is the
great college regatta, which will come off on
Lake Quinsigamond at Worcester, as before.
Beside the contest between the crack boats
from Yale, Harvard, and other colleges, the
"Thua" and "Glyuna" of Yale have chal-
lenged the freshmen and sophomore classes of
Harvard to meet them at the same place No
answer has been received as yet.
The people of New Haven will also have an
opportunity of Witnessing splendid race
probably the finest ever seen in our harbor-
before long, The Thulia, Nereid, and Olym-
pla, lave challenged the Ataanta for the
champion flag, and the crews are in training
The race will come off two weeks from to-
morrow; course three miles. The boats are
all of the finest build, and tile rivalry of the
crews ensures the utmost efforts on all hands
The race will be rare sight.

The object of the German republican con-
vention which meets at Chicago to. day, is os-
tensibly to secure proper recognition of
their claims before the national convention.
Since the decline Of know nothingism many
Germans have entertained very cordial dis
trust lest some of its proscriptive measures
should prove to have been grated upon the
republican party which may yet bear fruit to
their disadvantage. This sensitiveness on their
part was very much exasperated by the adoption
of the two years amendment in Massachusetts,
to which cause this convention is chiefly due.
Some of the Germans, holding the republican
party of the country responsible for that fool
ish measure, insist I'm its Reputation by the
convention, or at least on the adoption of
platform unequivocally hostile to the princi-
pie. Others, and we think the better portion
of them, understand that the amendment
was quite as actively opposed by the
republicans as by the democrats, and
that its adoption was greatly aided by
democratic votes. And if it were not so,
they will readily see the impolicy Of attempt
ing, by any outside organization Of class or
nationality, to intimidate or control the action
of party which extends an equal welcome to
all classes and all nationalities. Should the
convention be governed by wise and prudent
counsels, the Germans may go into the
regular convention in a position to command
that influence and respect to which they are
entitled by their sincerity their intelligence,
and their devotion to the republican
cause. The preferences of the German:
are very well understood, and they undoubted
ly coincide with the preferences of the grea
body OF the republicans of the country. Il
would be disappointment to the country i
Though any unwise action their common pref.
erences should not be gratifed. Every indi
cation OF the past week, however, has favored
the assurance that both conventions will har
monte in the achievement of a result which
will be received with well grounded satisfac
ton by the republicans of the whole country.
