much thought, had advised with others, and yras
firmly convinced Of the utility Of the order.

Commissioner Sheridan askedif he regarded

arrangement than the old one.
Tho Superintendent could not see what differ
ence the division Of the beats made ns long as
there ve-o additional men on duty.
Commissioner Sheridan thought putting two
men together Was protection to each other, and
not to tho city.
The Superintendent had not ordered two men
to travel together. He did not approve of it,
and theco was no necessity for it. They we're
not'put upon the same beats. The beats were
cut IN half between o'clock in the evening and
4 in the morning, and one man travelled one half
and the other the remaining half.
Commissioner Sheridan asked if the thirty
four men detailed IS 1ounds1nen were not taken
OF beats.
The Superintendent aaid they we're not, as
they patrolled all the time. They had no speci-
ti:d territory, the ground covered by their pla-
toon being their beat. The number Of MEN had
faoso to DO with protection than the division Of

The opening day OF the FIRST annual trotting

sidered success. The track but half mile yet Il

being purse OF 1000 for horses that have never
beaten three minutes; $500 to rst $3.50 to second.
$3.50 to third. 800 to fourth horse Entered for this
was the large neld Of twenty-eight horses. The
management came to consider the practicabllity Of
starting this number they decided to offer special
purse Of $500 for those owners who wished to with
draw from the larger premium. Seven responded
to the invitation, leaving twentyone the original

question addressed by your correspondent in refer
ence to the great concession made to Baron Reuter-
by the Shah Of Persia. M. de Lesseps said there
could be no objection to the concession. He did
not however believe much in the future of Persia
under the Shah or any Mohammedan ruler. The
natural wealth Of Persia had. been exaggerated
and 1t was question whether there was SO much
value in this concession.
GERMANY AND THE EAST
Allusion was made to the commercial treaty be-
tween Persia and Germany, and In response to .
question as to whether this ntlmated an intention

politics M. de Lesseps said: 81 cannot
think Germany has any craving for empire
or influence IN the East. She may try to
play on Russia against England in the East 10 suit
her views in Europe; but ne more. always found
the Prussian Ambassador in Constantnople very

to an impression he had received that there might

jectsa branch line to Pekin, for instance, and the
establishment Of European influence In China. II

Your correspondent then called the attention Of

mot at all, not at ALL" said NJ de Lesseps,
earnestly. II am as profoundly convinced that the
Development Of railways in Asia would annhate
the causes OF jealousy between England and Rus.
STA as was that the success OF the Suez Canal
would do no harm to the commerce Of England.
In the one case events have far transcribed my
most sanguine anticipations, and do not hesitate
to draw the inference in the other. There is now
very considerable commerce between Russia and
India Russia and the provinces that are called
Khanates need many articles from India. Jewelry,
embroidered goods, tea, coffee, spices and colors
are now carried on camels' backs over the highest
mountain passes in the world. This trade has ex.
listed from time immemorial. There are ten dis.
tinct common routes between India and the prov
inces to the northwest OF her frontier. Now, you
can well understand tnat when commerce forces
It's way over obstacles that may be called
almost impregnable the demand for commerce
must be extraordinary. Take tea as one COM
monty. The Russians are passionatey fond of
tea, and drink IL from the Caspian to the Baltic.
We know that If there were greater demand and
more accessible market India would largely add
to her tea product AS 1t s the India tea trade in
creases from year to year; and think what stimu-
LUIS It would receive with railway communications to
Russia and Europe. So that accepting as an unde-
niable inference the fact that the trade OF India
with Russia and the Russian provinces Of Central
Asia would be largely increased by the proposed
railway, there Is at once reason why the
jealousy between England and Russia should pass
away. In Asia Russia and England are natural
Allies but their statesmen will not so regard it.

LIES IN INDIA.

Cook and Three or the Winning Univer-
sity Crew at Pittsburg-His Opinion OF
the Blunder ON the Connecticut.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July q 1873.
This morning r. J. Cook, Captain and stroke Of
Yale crew, which won the University race at
Springfield Willis McCook and Henry Duryea ar
rived home, and were met ut the depot by quite o
number Of their fellow students and townsmen.
Captain Cook expresses his opinion very freely re-
garding the little unpeasantness over the colors
which occurred at the close Of the race. He thinks
that the Harvard crew had no excuse whatever for
accepting the nag as they did. He does not see
how being at least two boat lengths behind, proba-
bly, moro, the Harvards could have possibly thought
that they had won the race; nor does he think
they deserve any particular credit for returning
the c0lOrs next day at The demand OF the referee,
who had then decreed that they belonged to Yale.
When asked how 1t was about the referees state
ment that the finish was wrongly made the diago-
right angles to the river Harvard would have won
he said that "that is all nonsense" Me- Babcock
wants to excuse himself ior wrongly giving up the
them "You notice, he says, nothing at all about
the bend In the river. The course was laid out by
miles on each bank from the start, and that deter
mined the line OF finish OF the course Az there
was bend In the river, the finish had to be diago-
nal or the boats on the inside track would have to
row less than three miles, The course was exactly
right The crews all G Knew , =. the aarvards were
to finish. The New York papers are mostly edited
BY men Of Harvard sympathies, and havn't done
us justice In this matter"
Cook thinks the regatta next year will take
place on Saratoga Lake and that HIS crew will be
the most perfect one ever sent out to represent
Yale.
ON next Saturday week, August IL, when Coulter
and ScharH row, the Yale four will appear on the
river-that IS, Cook, McCook Meyer and Kennedy I;
the latter, who lives In Eastern Ohio, coming on
for the purpose OF seeing the struggle and making
up the crew.

NEW YORK, July q, 1873.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The question as TO whether Yale or Harvard was
the victor at the late intercollegiate regatta must
be considered as virtually decided by the award OF
the coveted prize to the former and Old Harvard,
much 40 she must lament the blunder
which caused her defeat should gracefully wait
until another year gives her full opportunity to
retrieve her reputation. But we think 1t but fair
that full justice should be done all the crews who,
on the memorable 17th put their souls into their
work and upheld the reputation OF American boat
ng They are all deserving OF the encomums
sh0wered upon them. and the last crew which
crossed the line, no less than the victorious sons
OF Yale, exhibited an amount OF puck
