TIE COLLEGE REGATTA.

There is q sudden and positive revival OF
| the interest in College boating, which for the
| past two or three years has seemed TO Tag
little. The continued i'll luck-f it may DO
called luck-of the Yale crews in the Unlyer-
sity race, which for many years was confined
to the crews of the two great Universities.
Yale and Harvard, had somewhat disheart-
ened the friends of the former, and for the
past two years there has been little dispose
ton on the part Of Yale to contest for the
honors of the annual regatta. Their suc-
cessiye defeats were attributed to variety
of causes - to faults OF training and
of stroke, unfamiliarity with the course, and
last of all to unfair advantages taken by iheir
opponents The complaint of "jOckeying" at
the turning stake was repeated each year,
until, in 1870 Yale, having been beaten by
foul at that point, put in a final protest against
rowing on the QuinsigamOnd course, where
the length of the Lake made turning-stake
necessary in order to get the three miles distance.
and refused to make another race at Worcester
At the same time Yale challenged Harvard TO
three mile race over any course in America
1t fell oat through this that Yale was not rep
resented in the regatta at Springfield III 1911.
Harvard was there, and to the surprise OF
everybody was beaten by the Amherst Agrl-
cultural College crew. The following year
Yale entered, but instead of beins confined to
Yale and Harvard, the University race was
rowed by six college crews, and won by
Amherst.
For the regatta of 1873, which is set down
for the 10Th of July, at Springfield, over the
Connecticut River course, it is probable that
there will be no less than ten entries and tho
University crews of the ten colleges to be
represented are now hard at work training
and preparing for the contest. Doubtless Har-
ward will make tremendous effort to regain
her lost laurels and prestige in this race;
and Yale, somewhat encouraged now by the
fact that her old antagonist has been proved
not TO be inyinciblc i'll the races OF the last
two years, will enter the lists with more
hopeful spirit than has animated her in years
past. But the Amherst boys have something
at stake to preserve the championship they
have held now for two years, anu
will be very likely to show them
selves, as heretofore, no mean nyals
for the Yale and Harvard picked crews. Nor
is it by any means certain that the Other
crews of lesser note and comparatively new 10
these annual contests will not crowd to tho
front as Amherst has twice already done. Inc
regatta at any rate promises to be one of the
most interesting and exciting ever witnessed
in this country.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR DELAYS IN BUILD
INC THE BRIDGE

The argument is attempted to be made that
those who agitate Ito compel the delinquent
stockholders of the East River Bridge to pay
ND their overdue subscriptions will be re-
sponsible if there should be any stOppage
of the work. The same persons urge that
these delinduent stockholders be released from
their obligations, and then the work can be
carried on by tho two cities. Now lot US see
how this is
Brooklyn owes 100000, New-York 100000,
the private stockholders $215,000. Here is
a total Of s1,115,OOO which would be available
if the private stockholders complied with the
law and paid up their installments. The bill
which they are attempting to smuggle through
permits them at their option to relieve them
selves of the payment of this S2l5,OOO. This
carried out will reduce the fund to S0OO,OOO.
What assurance is there that the two cities
can carry on the work on 100000 more GER
tainly than the private stockholders can with
S1115,0OOl On the contrary, it is apparent to
everybody that the reduction of the fund viii
decrease the chances of finishing the Bridge.
Will not delay be tho fault of those who In
sist on refusing to pay the deficiencies In
their subscriptions, and who seek to force
upon these cities the purchase of their stock
already paid inf These are the people who
are crppling the enterprise. The true friends
of the Bridge are those who insist that the
private stockholders as well as the cities shall
pay their just proportion of the fund. We
hope this point will not be lost upon Gov.
Dix, who has the bill still under consideration.
New-York tribune., 1873-06-18

partly answered by movement, conceived IN
good faith. we must believe, and duly re-
ported in our New Orleans dispatches and cor
rcspondence to-day. In former letter, The
TRIBUNE correspondent in Louisiana sketched
the beginnings Of this new scheme for the pur-
CATION of the State; and the meeting held
in New-0rleans, yesterday, seems 70 nave
given fair start to tho feopics
Party of Louisiana. The preamble anu
resolutions, though not entirely apo'e
criticism, are candid, fair, and 1rameu
with Just views of the duties and obll-
cations Of citizens patriotically alive 10
the pressing exigency of the situation. The
State is bankrupt and disorder has seized
upon every interest of society. This Is no
time to wrangle over social or class dls-
tnctions. The Common wealth is in Imminent
peril thieves must be driven out and state
of civil war brought to an end. This can
only be accomplished by sincere fusion OIL
citizens determined to carry on sharp and
vigorous campaign against every form OF evil
in public affairs. A good beginning has Dceh
made and we recognize In the declaration
of principles adopted by the New-Orleans
mass meeting platform which must
appeal to the good sense, patriotism, and can
dor of every citizen Of Louisiana. We have
no means of determining the weight OF the
names attached to this declaration. Gen.
Beauregard, however, may at least be consid-
cred as "out of politics." for he has hitherto
been exclusively engaged in railroad enter
prises and it is natural to suppose that those
who are associated in this work are simply
bonost citizena of hoth races, very much IN
earnest in their determination to form party
of Reform and Cancellation. In such pur-
pose and such q career they will have the
hearty godspeed of every worthy citizen OF
the Republic.
