RECENTION OF THE COLUMBIA
CREW.

The reception accorded to the Columbia
crew on their return to New York on Tuesday
was notable affair. The last car in the train
was deliberately decorated with blue and white
cambria, and its arrival had been anxiously
awaited by crowd numbering about 1000 peo-
pie for some half-hour or so. On board were
the victorious Columbia crew, the winners of
the great collegiate regatta. On the previous
day, only those connected with the college
had been aware Of the expected arrival of the
victorious oarsman, but they were expected by
the general public, and an immense crowd.
both in and outside Of the depot, were in
waiting. The College Committee of Re-
ception had provided band of music, which,
as soon as the train entered the depot, struck
up ''See the Conquering Hero Comes" As
soon as the train stopped, the rear car was
surrounded by the committee and their col.
lege escort, who Justify cheered the victo-
rious crew. 1t was soon known that all the
men had arrived except Mr.. Griswold, the
stsrboard waist, who had remained at Sara.

awaited them, the horses as well as the car.
riages being dressed in blue and white. The
triumphal procession was soon formed, and
headed by the music, moved up Forty second
street toward Fifth avenue. But this mode
of progression was too commonplace for the
enthusiastic crowd, and before the leaders of
the procession reached Fifth avenue the
horses were taken out, rope attched to the
carriage and the heroes of the lake were
drawn by Columbisns along Fifth avenue,
past the Windsor Hotel and up to the college
in Forty-ninth street, followed by an i'm
mense crowd Of people, which filled the side
wake, cheering till their tbroats were hoarse
The college grounds were covered with poles
bearing aloft the victorious blue and white
and the block Of houses facing was mass of
flags, from garnet to basement. The process
sion passed in at the west gate and up to the
college, the carriage containing the crew
halting in front of the veranda. Here were
assembled President Barnard and the faculty

SA ZINC A SARATOGA


The Virginia City Enterprise says
Hank Monk, the stage-drivcr who
gave Horace Greeley his memorable
mountain ride, in common with all his
tribe, hates the sight of those ponder

He now drives on the stage line be

He was driving on the same line last

At last Hank drove up one evening,
and as usual, the lady came out upon
the varandah to ask II he had brought
her trunk. Like the great, good man
George Washington, Hank cannot tell
