THE UNIVERSITY CREWS.


Inc thirteen crews entered for the Cniver-
s1ty race have been at Saratoga for several
weeks, and have undergone thorough train
Ing and became acquainted with the course.
Their weights are thus briefly summed up
Williams College, 155 to ia pounds; Cornell
University, 80 TO les pounds; Amherst Col
lege, l4s TO lG3; BowdOin College, 1i9 to 161
Brown University, 1872 to 1854; Columbia Col
iege, l52 to $50; Wesleyan U University, li2 to
IVA; Princeton, 154 TO 1SS; Dartmouth Col
lege, $50 to 172; Hamilton College, 1i2 to 176;
Yale College, 152 TO 163; Harvard, 15S to no;
Union College, 1i6 to 155. Harvard is one OF
the youngest and heaviest crews, while Yale
and Wesleyan are among the iightest. Will
liams is the youngest crew and Dartmouth
the tallest, tn ee OF the crew being over feet
high, and two others over 5 feet IL inches.
Up TO the last few days the Yale crew have
been the favorites, but an important point
affecting the race is the recent change In
their crew, Mr.. Hall, a substitute, taking
the place OF Mr.. Chandler as No. 2. AS Yale's
chances have declined Harvard's have gone
up, whilst Columbia, Princeton and Dart
mouth nave many saDguine hackers. Cor
nell and Bowdoin are also said to be doing
finely, and are not without hope OF being
found in front at the close of the contest.

A Lunatic's Purchases.

BALTIMORE June 3.
A lunatic named John b. Trull has for
the past three days been making pur-
chases which, when put together, would
have made Sharon's big fortune look sick.
He bought of Bennett 81 Co. real estate
for quarter of a million, Of Walter 81
Co. 900 barrels Of whisky, and paid in
drafts on leading houses here and in New
York. He had warehouse certificates
from the following parties for the fol-
lowing goods: Hazard d Co., $50 barrels
whisky; w. T.. Williams, 1000 barrels
whisky; Boggs 81 Co., rs barrels whisky;
Goldsborough, rs barrels whisky, and
$4,000 worth of tobacco at different
places. He bought from Woods, Weeks
81 Co. q, 900 barrels of sugar, the whole
stock Of soap in Webb's soap factory,
and from almost every large business
firm he made the most fabulous
purchases, giving his checks on lead
ing Baltimore houses and drafts on
New York houses in some instances, and
in others asking and receiving thirty days
credit. Some 81 SOC, 600 In checks and
drafts on Alexander Brown d Sons,
bankers, of this city, began pouring in
this morning, when that firm at once put
detectives on Trull's track, supposing
him to be some stupendous swindler.
The detectives had no difficulty in over
hauling him. Upon examination at the
Chiefs office, copies of kilograms to all
parts of this country and Europe were
found upon his person, ordering pur.
chases Of the most extravagant descrip-
tion, and giving indisputable evidence OF
the mans insanity. The man is still at
police headquarters, and runners from
the different mercantile house go about
the streets grieving to think of the van
ished dreams of wealth in their immense
sales during the past three days. 1t is
curious thing that this could have been
carried on for three days without being
detected, and is not considered compli-
mentary to the sharpness Of our mer-
chants

Items OF Experience.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says: 1t don't pay to reset
thin wheeltires. There is great econ
omy in soaking the feIloes of business
wagon wheels with raw linseed oil; II
will preserve the wood and save the ne
cessity of frequent tire-setting, an opera
ton to be avoided. When you buy a
new fork or hoe good farming requires
that YOU oil the handle. 1t costs but
trifie, and your tool looks better and
will wear longer. Good harness kept
soft with neatsfoot oil is credit to the
