Harvard and Yale-Bad Blood Between
the Two Crews.

NEW YORK; July 21, 1874.
TO THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD:-
1t seems 10 me thar some OF the points or the
controversy between Yale and Harvard may be
settled by applying the touchstone, cut bono? Let
us see what could have been gained by means Of
the unfair acts charged
First-As to the charge that Wesleyan and Yale
had conspired to foul Harvard, and that they ap-
proucned her with that intent during the first
mle What was 10 be gained by that Yale and
Wesleyan had each more interest In winning the
race lOr herself than IN preventing Harvard.
Moreover, 1t Is said tnat Cook mad $500 oct Oh nm

the lead OF the whoe race and Without having
once spurtedoat least 9s,sy SO says your CORE,
tne others agree with him-and the TACT
that the Yale rudder was knocked OF by
Harvard Oar shows that sne was at least
quarter length IN advance; while COOKS
tauntlng remark to Dana, moment before, shows
that he was by no means ready TO give it up.
What more could ne have ASKED than to be let
alone The race was hall over, and he haG just
made up q gap OF two lengths drawn ahead
quarter. and was still gaining. don't mean 10
say that Harvard caused the loul Intentionally, but
l think there was so mucn bad blood between the
two crews that neither one would yield al inch 10
the other even when the momentary sacrifice was
to their own ultimate advantage and think Cook
has himself TO blame that he did not recognize
aud act upOn that TACT.
AS to Cooks vulgar language, that has nothing
to do with the foul, and the offence Is too common
TO justify US In making hm scapegoat. lie ought

PRESS COMMENTS.
Regarding tho Foul.
Speaking OF the 'Ioul'' which occurred between

5pcHKIQB
Harvard and Yale, the Trareller says:-
There is a difference OF opinion, each crew being
blamed. There appears, however, from the tcstl-
monv OF the few outsiders who could see and judge
the affair and from the Oplplops OF u majority OF
correspondents, to be the better grounds Tor Har-
vard's complaints against Yale rather than cjce
re,'sa. But is not this most unsatisfactory con-
dition OF affairs Young men OF high attachments
acting Ike '.Ockeys' and letting an iil-lOunded
spite Interfere with what would otherwise be ra-
tional SPORT We would be glad to see the regatta
given up II the races cannot be conducted tairly,
ana for two seasons now, either from mSmanage.
ment or IRON intentional uniairness, the whole
idea OF the contest has been subverted and over
thrown.
The New York herald., 1874-07-23

The Boston Post discusses the question with can
dor ana forbearance, regretting the unfortunate
circumstances which tend to cast u shadow over
friendly struggle tor eminence 1T thinks that
the hasiy accusations made within the last few
days will doubtless be followed by the relegation
or the whole affair 10 the chapter of accidents, for
says the POST
it is equally inconceivabc that Harvard snould
risk It's lame by Intentionally loulng Yale or
that the latter should deliberately wreck its chances
OF success by using Its Slightly advanced position
to get in the path OF It's competitor. The excite
ment OF hot rivalry, side by SIDE, Is quite enough
to account Tor an accident whose responsibility
can never be definitely fixed.

An Aquatic Duel.

The Boston Globe, in high dudgcon in caustic
article headed "BOyish Folly" regards the con.
duct OF Harvard and Yale on Saratoga Lake as
"simply dlsgraceiul and FOOLISH" "From the first"
says the Globe, "the Harvard and Yale crews
seemed to ignore all the other boats and to seek to
bring on Il ducl between themselves. Starting 100
feet apart with mile OF clear water between
til, III and the other shore, they could easily have
kept out OF each others way; and If they had both
pulled steadily lor the Roai there is little douor
that they would have led all the other crews and
one or the other OF them nave won the race, thus
determining the relative merits OF the two. ln-
stead OF that they pnrposcly came together to
throw taunts at each other and impede each
Others course. and the result was o lOul, which
disabled iale's boat and threw her out OF the con-

Wesleyan Has Nothing To Do with the
Foul.

Foul.
BROOKLYN, July 20, 1874.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Mr.. Blaikie's report OF the intercollegiate re-
gatta at Saratoga does injustice, perhaps untn-
iumbla's taking the water OF Wesleyan ana giving
the latter their back wash he says satiricay that
1t was an imported trick and certainly deserved
censure by the adherents Of Wesleyan. Captain
Eustis IS too sterling man and honest an oars
man 10 complain OF any crew for taking the Wes-
leyan's water, If done fairly. His CLAIM was that
Columbia thrice crossed his bow when lie was en-
deavoring to pass ner, and when Columbia was
but boat length ahead and no water visible
between them. BY this action he was obliged to
SLOW uD three times. Mr.. Baikie IN another place
formed a compact, both offensive and defensive,
and in carrying out the plan both crews
r0wed III towards Harvard to pocket
her, and IN this manner the Yale and Harvard
1oul occurred. Captain Eusts and the entire
wesleyan crew assert tnat they were never nearer
Harvard than 100 feet on the side. The entire
crew also say that they never heard OF any agree
menJ TO run Harvard down, and II they could not
win race fairly they would not win at all. Mr..
Blaike, although an Old Harvard oar believe
crew, although they have defeated the crew OF his
alma mater twice IN succession. The WesleyanS
have only lowed IN three races; winning the
Freshman race in 1877 mo university crew en-
teredl and coming III second IN 1873 and 1874. AS
they have only $50 students TO choose crew rom
they deserve credit or the place they have won IN
boating annals, and It Is their desire and the
sire OF their friends not to have their fair lame
tarnished by any lmputatlons OF Unfair oarslnan-

A ooLoRED BISHOP.

Conservation OF = Negro as Protestant
Episcopal Bishop OF Hayti.
since the draft riots, when negroes were hung
to our lampposts on account OF their color, New
York has seen q wonderful change IN the status OF
the sons and daughters OF Africa, who have,
against their will, become naturalized in America
but yesterday witnessed q startling ecclesiastical
innovation IN which the main figure was o son OF
Ham, vz.-the conservation OF q Protestant Epis-
copai Bishop, at Grace church, by Bishop Arthur
Cleveland Cox, OF Western New York. The newly
made prelate. the Rev. James Theodore Eolly,
d. D., is native OF Port-au-Prince. the capital
city Of Hayt, and speaks English with great acil-
ity, although French is bis mother tongue.
He Is about iorty years OF age. Is OF
a pleasant, refined and intellectual aspect, and
has made many friends since his arrival in this
country. He Is the first coored bishop af1llated to
the Protestant Episcopal Church OF this country.
The Church OF England, 1t may be remarked, has
coored bishops on the West Coast OF Africa at
several or her possessions there. The Episcopal
Churcn in Haytl contains about ffteen clergs men
and parishes. Perfect religious equality exists In

secration OF bishops were conducted by Bishop

Yesterday morning q large and attentive con-

Daniel Ferris, late OF Belfast, Ireland, delivered
very instructive discourse on the beauty OF the
Catholic religion. He Grst demonstrated now
glorious and how worthy OF mans love is the
Church in her dogmas, and then pointed out how
the precepts which she imposes are most con.
ducive to mans happiness and the well being Of
society. In conclusion he gave an admirable ex-
position OF the love of the Church for her children
by showing that the instant we come into the
world she receives US into her arms by pouring on
our heads the saving waters OF baptism, and from
that time forward she never loses sight
OF us. Scarcely have we come TO the
use OF reason when she confirms US In the
iaith by anoJner sacrament. and during our entire
journey through this valley OF tearsN is ever
ready to regcnerate US by the sacrament OF pen.
ance and nOurish our souls with 'tnc bread OF
angels.o And even at our deathbed she Is pres
ent with the sacrament OF extreme JUNCTION TO re-
ccve our last sigh and give back our souls into
the hands OF Him who created them.
In return tor all these tavors she expects us to
espouse her interests, 10 sympathlze with her IN
her sorrows, TO share III her Joys and to applaud
at her triumpns. We should apply ourselves, as
to a source Of Joy and consolation. 70 the Church,
doctrines, our happiness in the observance OF her
precepis. and our salvation in the abundance OF
the aids which she offers US to win the crown OF
eternal glory.
