Best and last, and still more observed
came the trial of skill between the Uni.
versity crews. Yale, this time, had the
inside track, and, after considerably diff
Guilty in getting the boats properly in the
line, the umpire gave the signal, and Yale
got the start. Both boats skinned brisk
ly over the water beneath the masterly
sweep Of the oarsmen. Harvard SLOWLY
gained with her quick, strong strokes upon
Yale, with her long and delibrate but
effective impulses. As before, however.
the Harvard style was in the ascendent.
Though torrent of rain commenced to
fall ana the umbrellaed ASSEMBLY on the
shore moved restlessly to and fro, the oc-
casion too exciting to admit of a retreat at
this juncture, held on with unainching
purpose. At the buoy or turning point,

The time made last year in the college re-

There was dispute at the time the last

SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW.
The Ordinance Restricting the Law
Re-eOmmitted-Dise iseusSiOas-RePOrf
of the Special Committee.

Last night at the regular meeting of the
City Council an ordinance seeking 10 mod
ify the State Liquor Law SO as to admit the
sale of wine and beer on Sunday, was read
q third time; and after much bitter discus
sion it was recommitted to the Committee
on Ordinances, and the City Attorney-Mr
Heislsy and others strongly advocated its
immediate passage. Messrs. Huntington,
Jones, Roberts and others espoused the oppo-
site cause. The discussion was lengthy,ex-
cited, bitter and personal. We append the
report of the Special Committee, to whom
was referred the petition signed by 1871
voters praying the City Council not to re-
strict or modify the present Liquor Law in
any manner by an ordinance.
To ths City CJunea:
Your committee, 10 whom was referred
the remonstrance of 2,377 citizens of Cleve-
land against amending the Sunday liquor
law so as to permit saloons to be kept open
a portion of the Sabbath day, to sell beer
and other malt liquors, respectfully report:
That the Sunday law of Ohio, passed by
the Legislature, on February 18th, 1SR,
his usual avocation on the Sabbath day, ex-
cept only those who conscientiously observe
the seventh day of the week as their Sab
bath. The law mentioned above intends
that every person in Ohio shall cease from
prosecuting his daily business one day cut
Of the seven. 1t requires the poor laborer
to suspend his labor on the Sabbath day, no
matter how much his family may need the
pittance ne might earn by hislabor on that
dsy. The poor washerwoman who sup
ports her fatherless children by her toll,
cannot earn one penny for them en- the
Sabbath. for the laws of Ohio forbid her
performing her daily labor on the Sabbath
day, and If she attempts it she is punish
able by law. Thus stands the State Law Of
Ohio to-day, bringing within its scope every
person in Ohio, high and low, rich and
poor, and granting no special privileges in
that regard to any person in the State.
Your committee report, also, that no pow
er exists in Ohio to repeal the above men
toned Sunday law except the Legislature
of the State; and so long as that law stands
in force no action by the City Council can
legalize the prosecution of business on Sue
day, and any enactments by the Council
would simply have no effect.
Your committee also further say that the
remonstr6nce referred to them is signed by
2,S77 citizens of Cleveland, and that, over
and above all legal questions involved, y the
remonstrance is entitled to the earnest and
careful consideration of the Council as the
voice of large portion of our fellow w-citizens
who are interested in the peace and quiet
Of our city.
Thus much your committee say in regard
to the power and duty of the Council and
they further say that, even if the City Coun-
