perfect compromise, still it is accep tabe for

CORRESPONDENTS BETWEEN BOAT CLUBS.
New HAVEN, May 24.-At a fully attic ended
meeting of the Yale boat club this afternoon,
the letter received from Harvard boat club in
response to Yale's challenge of Dec. 49, 1870,
for a sx-oared thrt emile straight-away race,
on any course in America which the challeBg-
ed party might select, was read by the Presl-
dent This letter was to the effect that while
Harvard would allow Yale to enter the Union
college regatta to be rowed on the Connecti-
cut RIVER near Springfield, Mass. July 14th,
under ITS auspices, over three mile straight
course, It would not allow it to engage in sep
arate diversity race at any other place than
LAKE QalnsegamOn, Worcester, over doubled
mile and half course, about a single turning
stake: After an exciting debate it was voted
ny large majority that the Harvard oarsmen
be Notified that their letter is construed as
non-aceeptance of the challenge of Dec. 18Th
and that the University crew of Yale having
IN nsfquence disbanded will not recognize
any future acceptance of that challenge. Thus
the question of Yale taking part in any col
lege races this summer is settled by the refusal
OF Harvard to allow it straight University
race and by its own refusal to take part in any
miscellaneous college regatta under its rivals
auspices.

CORAL-In the window of the PRESS count
ing-room has been placed for public inspec-
ton, a splendid specimen OF branched coral
brought from one of the Bahama islands by
Capt Hall of Falmouth, and broken from its
base by himself Capt. Hall, during a career
of thirty years as a frequenter of the tropical
regions, has paid some attention to the study
OF marine plants, coras and lower insect life
of those waters, and deduces therefrom a
theory concerning TIE coral growth different
from naturalists. He believes that it is a vege-
table production, and hot the work of insects,
and some of his reasons for this belief are that
if a fragment is broken off it turps black and
apparently dies, the same as branch or twig
of tree. If the coral is the work of an insect
he argues, the process of growth would pe
continued and the broken fragment become
the foundation of an independent develop
ment. Upon the tips of the branches, he fur
Their says, is frequently seen a soft, bud-lke
termination, resembling in many particulars
land vegetable growth, which can be crushed
and killed in the fingers. Capt. Halls obser-
vations may he worth something to the stu
dents of natural history.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

ELEGANT CARRfAGEs.-From time 10 time
we feel it our duty to visit the carriage facto-
ries here, and report to our readers the great
progress made in their manufacture.
We have before said, and repeat it now, that
we believe that in no place in the United
States are better or more elegant carriages
made than in this city. This branch of mech.
anism has grown up here mostly in the last
fifteen years, and the names of our prominent
manufacturers are as familiar as household
words in almost every town and city in the
United States, and may be safely said to give
Portland wider nOtOriety than any other
branch of manufacturing, or in fact, any other
business done here, and is a matter of great
pride to our people, We visited yesterday the
mandatory of Mr.. G. p. Kimball, ard found
the business in the most fourishing condition,
every man being kept at work early and late,
and the orders never more pressing. Among
the finest carriages we have ever seen were
three six-se-t Park Phaetons, built to order,
one for w. w. Eastman, one for d. G. Shep-
ard, and one for d. Morrison, all of Muneap-
oils, Mimi, at cost of nearly one thousand
dollars each. They are partially new in de-
sign, and of the most elegant and tasty work
manship. One of them will be on exhibition
the balance OF this week. and it is really worth
seeing. Mr.. Kimball has recently invented
and had patented a new thing in the shape of
a canopy top for basket phaeton, and they are
being built at his factory at the rate of about
one per day, and that even will not supply the
orders. They have one now on exhibition at
the PEBBLE House repository, to run in New
port this season, with a rumble, or seat for out
rlders that is well worth seeing.
Mr.. Kimball has built up business here
highly honorable to himself, and to our city and
State and is now reaping his reward for first
class elegant work, unsurpassed in style and
finish, and what is more valuable to purchas-
ers, honorable and fair dealings, giving to all
just what they bargain for. He has in one
week this spring, sent carriages into seven diff
ferent States, bringing the money here to be
paid out for labor, Sc, then to 60 into the
hands of the business community, doing a
great deal of good among our people. We
therefore say again we are proud of our Port
land carriage-makers, and assure our readers
far and near, that in no place in the United
States can they find so good a carriage at so
reasonable rates as they eau here, or be SO sure
to get what they bargain for.

PETTY THIEVES. For some time past Messrs
Phinney & Jackson have been annoyed by
boys who congregated around their warehouse
on Merchants wharf, and filed their pockets
with sugar. The same complaint has been
made by other importers OF such petty larce-
MES committed by boys, which, though small
for each boy, yet in the aggregate amount to a
considerable sum, so large is the humber of
young thieves engaged in it. Yesterday after
noon tour boys were arrested on Merchants
wharf by officers Smith and Gribben, some of
whom were engaged in purloining the sugar
from the hogsheads on that wharf They were
taken to the lookup and will be dealt with, as
it is the determination of the police to put
stop to this petty thieying.
