II seems shame that great city ike
Nev-York should be held at bay by the huch-
sters who maintain the nuisances III INC
vicinity of Washington Market. Yet, tthe
booths which have spread out from that 10
ca1itv. like noisomo weeds, infest the AIR 10
tbis day. Due notice has been given OF the
danger to life and detriment to the public
health which these structures have become;
and sundry processes and other ineffective
means of dislodgement have been tried. But
there the booths remain to poison the AIR and
obstruct travel. 1t is possible that long occu-
nancy or some ancient grant has given the
bucksters a vested interest in these sheds; If
so, Just satisfaction should be made; but the
shanties should come down, nevertheless. We
hope to see the order of the Board of Health
carried out the street restored to its proper
uses, and the foul spot cleansed
Can't. Williams of the Atlantic was brought
before a Board of Inquiry by the Canadian
Government and tried for his share in the re-
sponsibility of wrecking his ship He was
"seyerely censured," and his masters certlfi-
cate was suspended for two years. There was
general expression of dissatisfaction with
the verdict. 1t was agreed to DO grossly in
adeauate. The verdict in the case Of
Can't Phillips of the City of Wash
ington is exactly in keeping with that of
Capt. Williams. If Williams deserved censure
and a two years. suspension Of his certificate
Phillips could not get off with less than one
years suspension; and more than that would
be out of proportion to what has gone before.
Accordingly, we find that Capt. Phillips, who
ran his ship on the Nova Scotia coast in a
/
! certificate hung up for one year. The only
thing that need be said now is that this is an
| inadequate punishment for great blunder.

After The Regatta come in the complaints
and the grumbling naturally enough, for some
! body must be disappointed always, and in this
| case there were great many. 1t Is the unan-
imOus opinion that in all essential respects the
Regatta itself was a success. There was a Tan
! and manly competition; no drunkenness; no
rioting or disorderly behavior no public gam
| bling; nothing inconsistent with.a gentlemen $
gathering. Harvard is dissatisfied of course
why should Mt she be7 And yet there was a
little unseemly haste in their acceptance OF the
flag and sending it Off at once to Cambridge
without waiting even to exhibit it in the evening
| 1t had little the appearance of sharp prac-
| tice 1t is always better to submit gracefully
to defeat; and this was defeat that brought
with it no dishonor. Harvard had laurels
enoughialready. AS for other complaints, they
come mostly from spectators, and perhaps 1t
would be we'll for them to remember that it
was q show to which they were not specially
invited and which they paid nothing to see.
1t would be in rather better taste for them to
be thankful for the entertainment they had,
without grumbing at any omissions
or mistakes. There were blunders man
ifestly in some of tho arrangements,
growing out of the superhuity of committees.
| Next year it will be well for the students to
have their own committees, and make all the
arraDg ements down to the procuring Of the
starting gun themselves. 1t should be re-
membered that this is practically the first year
of a great University Regatta. The.wOnder is
that all things went off so smoothly.
