Yale College Crew Adopts the English
Stroke.

| Yale College Crew Adopts the English
Stroke.
Says a correspondent of the New York
| It.bune:
The great interest taken by ali boating
men in the usual preparations for the col
lege regatta is augmented this year by the
| fact that Yale is about to Try the expert.
ment Of the English stroke. 1t was felt
that there would be great risk in attempt.
ing change so radical: but Yale's ill sue.
cess for several years seemed to indicate
| something wrong in her system of rowing.
Captain Cook has spent part OF the last
year at Oxford and Cambridge, and is now
trying to introduce stroke similar to that
| used in those universities
l shall endeavor to give some notion OF
this system new at least 10 lis. 1t is IN
by Yale in last years regatta. The general
principle is. fest through the water and
slow recover. The reach is moderate: the
water is taken very deliberately. SO as to
avoid spanking or clipping. and the oar is
then surged through on the stroke with the
whole strength of the man. The legs have
to take very important part. In the be.
ginning OF the stroke they are drawn up
with the knees apart, allowing the body.
which is kept perfectly straight, to lie be.
tween them. The weight is put into the
oar by first throwing the body back and
then Strengthening the legs. thus moving
the sliding seats about three inches. The
arms are not used at all except in the re.
cover. The feather is made by dropping
the wrists, with the elbows close to the side.
and the hands shoot forward rapidly ON the
recover and get over the knees before the
body begins to come forward.
The men sit low in the boat so as to do
the work as nearly horizontal with the
shoulders as possible. and make the boat
move steadily On her keel. This stroke has
one peculiarity which, | believe. is con.
demned by American Oarsinen The hands
are held six or eight inches apart. By this
it is claimed that what is lost in leverage
by removing the inside hand toward the
blade. is gained by the power beng applied
in direct line with the boat, beside allow
ing the chest and lungs more freedom. OF
the stroke in general. any judgment now,
before IL is tried, Is mere speculation. But
certain results are already noticeable. The
stroke proves easy on the wind. but it tells
first on the muscles. II effectiveness has
been well tested in England ON long race
Whether enough speed can be put into it
for a threemlie course remains 20 be shown.
The crew now pulls from thirty four to
forty per minute; but the stroke is evi-
dently difficult one to catch. There is no
regular swing of the body back and forth,
rendering the time marked and easy. the
movement being quick back and slow for
ward. compelling the oarsman to make a
distinction in his motions with every stroke
The novel difficulties of this stroke coupled
with their confirmed habits in other STYLES,
make the University crew rather slow in
getting into form.

Judge Dibbie quoted from 6 An. 3l4 to
show that even if the communication was
privileged, malice could be shown. and the
parties were responsible. The liberty
of the press does not include license and
licentiousness. Anything that was calcu-
lated to decrease the respect in which the
plaintiff was held was Gbelous. The di-
rectors were responsible because they had
acted through their responsible agents.
The court then adjourned till ten o'clock
this morning. when counsel for the defense
will have all the time they desire to present
their case.
An interesting habeas corpus case was
decided yesterday by Judge Cullom. T. +.
Neal, book agent. was arrested under the
license ordinance FOX peddling without
license. On being brought before Judge
Gernon ne was fined $40. His counsel re.
fused to pay the fine. He admitted the
right of the court to impose it, but denied
that the defendant could be punished Grim.
inally if he did not pay it. Judge Gernon
accepted the issue. and sentenced Mr.. Neal
to ten days Imprisonment. Counsel had
petition for writ OF habeas corpus pre-
pared. and in shor: time all parties were
before the Fifth District Court. Judge Gull
lom decided the case under that clause of
the fifth amendment to the constitution of
the United States. which SAYS: ''Nor shall
any person be deprived of life,
liberty or property without due process
of law" Story on the Constitution,
section 1893. says this is but an enlargement

in effect, atf;rms the righ: Of trial accord

Judge Cullom. in verbal opinion, stated
the law of the case and released Mr.. Neal.
This case settles finally and conclusively
the right Of inferior magistrates to commit
offenders to the Parish Prison in default of
fines. But when culprit makes his ap-
pearance from out the dock, IT found guilty

OLD AUGUSTA FOREVER. Col. JOHN Bell of
this county returned last week from an extended
visit to Kentucky and Missouri, where he exam
ined all the fine sock, large iron manufacturers.
&C., in these two progressive States. Col. Bell,
thinks that the horse Longfellow is the finest
animal in the world-a perfect prince among
beasts. He vas also much pleased with the
magnificent stock of Mr.. Alexander, of Ky, the
famous bloeded horse breeder; but taking the
general run CT stock he is # the opinion that
Old Augusta, is not behind Kentucky.
He visited the celebrated Iron Works at Car
oadelet, in Missouri and examined the various
ores there Manufactured into iron. lie is of the
opinion, that the iron ore of Augusta is far supe
rior as to richness, to any he saw, and in variety
there is no comparison The ore from the IA
nous Iron Mountain of Missouri, he puts at not
more than 60 per cent, and the other specimens
| he examined would NOT yield moro than IS per
cent ofiron. The absence of Manganese with su
which the best quality of marketable iron can
not be manufactured is not to be found in tina
region, while it is abundant here. Take it all il
all, Col Bell, thinks that for grass, stock, an,
minerals, Augusta is far ahe ad of any other sec
ton he Wis tied. AS for enterprise, Staunto]
goes ahead of the best of the smalle cities Gu
west, and may justly be regarded as still til
.hub" Of the universe.
