THE ROWING YESTERDAY At SARATOGA.
SARATOGA, July flowing TO the rough
ness of the water, the freshmen and single
scull champion races to-day were postponed
from half past three o'clock to between FIVE
and six O'Clock. Long before the time 1xed,
the places assigned to spectators were all filed,
and there were in the village hundreds anxious
to secure conveyance to the lake. Every con-
csivable vehicle was brought into requisition,
and at all prices, from atty cents a scat to If
teen and twenty dollars for hack.
TIE FRESHMEN CHAMPIONSHIP
dx-oared race was GrsS to take place. Yale took
the Lead, Brown next and Princeton in the
rear. These positions were maintained for
nearly two miles, when Blown, which was
nearest Yale and hanging with great tenacity
on her stern, made a squirt. Yale gave ire
meDdeus effort and in about q dozen pulls
snot ahead three or four lengths. The last Of
three miles was then reached, and Princeton,
who was holding its position on the west side
Of the lake, few lengths in the rear of Brown,
went into gallop and shot ahead with great
speed.
IN half a dozen strokes Princeton over
hauled Yale, and IN a few minutes lapped On
her. Yale now having shaken of Brown, in
apparent dlsmay, saw Princeton coming up the
hoRs-streteh like a race horse, and tried 'tA
equal the pace Of the new contestants, but hen
strokes were nothing like 50 powerful as thew
were when Challenged by Brown; besides, Yale
was OF on the east side Of the lake, where thu
ending Of the line was of course further Of than
It was on the west side, Of which Princeton Was
dashing on q bee line. Yale turned her head to-.
meet forward view. apparently to sboften
run, when, with her weakened stroke, she suf+5S
fered disadTantaee instead of an ADVANTAGE
On came Princeton, gaining at every sttoke.'
Princeton and the Princeton coIors were hOistpd
on the flag staff above that of Yale; but the
decision was disputed, and it was stated that
reconsideration would be granted.
THE SINGLE scULL RACE
commenced at O'Clock, and the boats of Cor
nell, Yale and Harvard started. Yale took the
lead, Harvard closely pressing upon her, and
Cornell falling of az every stroke. Yale vas.
the middle, but on q straight line for the
signal boat. Harvard vas on the westy but
Rugged close to her OPPONENT. On reaehin3
tho second mile and home stretch It was sStf
dent that Wilcox, Of Yale, had the race, shdh
he came In handsomely one boat length ahead.
The winner was greeted with cheer upon cheer
for his victory. His time for two miles was
Ii minutes 12N seconds.
PRINCETON GIVEN THE FRESHMAN RACE.
Tbs judges have decided that the Prince
tons won the race in 19 minutes 12T seconds;
but before the DECISION Yale had resolved to
give up the tag If the race had been given
them, because they would not receive it on a
mere technically. The dispute originated in
the fact that the PRINCETON came in outside
OF the stake-boat, and Il was found that she
had to do this or be cut in two by the fale.

they made baTIfcade out Of a theatrical sign

Remittances by Mail.

With all the facilities afforded the peo-
pie for transmitting money with absolute
safety, people will persist in sending money
in the shape of bank notes or greenbacks in
letters. Now, with all the chancesto which
a letter in the ordinary mail is exposed,
it is inconceivable that man would risk
the loss of his money in that way, when
there are three practically safe and secure
ways of remitting it:
l. By bank draft, which if stolen Is ol
no use to the thief, who will very seldom
run the additional risk of forgery anC
being identified. Such draft, however
can only be obtained in towns where banl
is established. .
. Ry a money order. This is absolute
" safe. the government being responsible
for the money. A money order, however
can only be obtained at money order OF
fees, but their number is now so grea
that the most small remittances can b
made in this way.
3. By registered letter. This is also
perfectly safe method Of sending money
valuables through the mails.
This idea we would like to impress upo
every man, woman, and child in the con
munity, Never send money in letter
