THE AFTERNOON SPORTS.
THREE MINOR RACES.


The sports of the afternoon began little late, as
those of the morning had done; but they went on
promptly after they were started. The day had
grown hotter and the heat oppressive during the
first three races. The sport, however opened with
somewhat larger attendance, especially of ladies and
of private teams. For the opening haf-mile run
only two of the eleven entries appeared-viz., David
Trurplul of Yale and {. III. Barber of Amherst. The
race was won easily IN minutes ga seconds by Mr.
Trumbull who led from the start and came i'll
good 10 feet ahead
Next followed the three-me walk, which was not
very interesting. Thirteen men had entered, but
only w. A. Platt of Williams, w. r. Taylor of
Harvard, and A. NJ. Fairbanks of Brown started The
race was an easy walk-away for Mr.. Taylor, who
took the lead opened great gap, increased it, and
won in % minutes % seconds. Nit. Platt was second
in 26 minutes 1864 seconds. Mr. Fairbanks with
drew at the end of the second mile The time record
of the race was First half 3 minutes AZ seconds ;
mile, minutes seconds mile and half l. min
utes 81 seconds two miles, 10 minutes 2i2 seconds
two and half 20 minutes 4Ol4 seconds; three miles,
% minutes % seconds.
During the last race the interest of the spectators
had tagged somewhat, but it revived with the start
for the 1OO-yard dash which followed. The
starters, out of n field of IA, ii. l.. Geyen of
Union College Penn. c. NJ Culver of Union, n. Y.
j. b. Lndey of Williams, j. Potter Of Cornell, and
w. c. Hall of Yale. Much faith was placed in the
powers Of both Geyelin and Lindey, but Conelrs
star was again in the ascendant, and Mr. Potter
in 1O3, seconds. MIR. Lindley was second and Mr.
Hall third.
An EXCITING THREE-MILE RUN WON BY AMHERST
IN 14:17.
The eighth event was the three-mile run, and ii
proved to be- with he exception of the hurdle
which followed, the most enjoyable race of the day.
Only three out of field of thirteen started but as
soon ~ a start was made it evident that the
contestants were very evenly matched. III. Rodgers
~. ian pound man in the Wesleyan crew, had the

Goodwin. the stroke of the Columbia crew. on the
outside At the word they went of at an 1SaSy gait
Mr. Goodwin leading, Mr.. Rodgers second, and Mr..
Morell third. At the quarter the order was the
same. Mr.. Morell appeared to be losing ground
little but was running with light and free step,
and evidently exertng himself little, that few
of the wise ones gave him the race at
once. The spectators, however, had great
confidence in Mr.. Rodgers, who was lead
ing at the half and running very easily
in spite Of his great weight The Columbia boys
eheered Justify for Mr.. Goodwin, but he stepped
down and out before coming around the fourth time,
after being passed by Mr. Morell, who had previ-
ously given him several sharp but unsuccessful rune

Reporter of the Committee upon the election i'll the
Department of Nievre, delivered'a speech of three
hours duration, which was listened to with atten-
tion He dwelt upon the necessity of arresting the
progress of BOnapartism. lie also attacked NJ. Rou-
her, whom he styled the abetor Of the coup d6tat.
NJ. Buffet, the President of the Ministerial Council
also spoke He defended the Project of Police from
the attacks made upon him yesterday by NJ Rouher,
and said the Project was perfectly right in
pointing out the double danger by which the coun-
try threatened by both Rcvoutionists and
Bonapartists. The danger from the former was
serious and the Government would keep a
watchfnl eye upon them.
The Bonapartists and members of the Right
cheered this statement, while the Left protested
against it.
NJ. Dufaure, Minister of Justice said the Govern
ment would display vigilance in regard to the Bona
partists. He would not remain a member Of any
Government which neglected that duty.
NJ. Gambetta called attention to the divergence in
the statements of the tive Ministers, and with much
warmth accused the Government OF supporting the
Bonapartists, maintaining BCnapartist functonaries
in office and following in the steps Of the Brogc
Administration.
NJ. Buffet asserted that perfect agreement pre-
vailed in the Cabinet, especially between NJ. Du-
faure and himself He considered that he was rem
dering great service to the country by maintain
ing old functonarics Who loyal, although they
had served under the E,npire.
The Left violently protested against these
marks of II. Buffet, while the Right and Bonapart-
lists loudly checred.
After further animated debate, resolution was
passed by vote of 4s to g. stating that the Assem-
bly,, confding in the Governments declarations,
passes to the order of the day.
The Bonapartists, who had agreed to support the
motion, We're well satisfied with the result.
The Left, who abstalned from voting, were proper
tonatcly displeased.
NJ. Dufaure subsequently affirmed that there was
divergence between the Minister'S The Govern
ment had nothing to add to or withdraw from the
declarations it had already made.

PROF. MARSH'S INTERVIEW WITH THE
PRESIDENT.

PRESIDENT.
INTEREST SHOWN IN INDIAN AFFAIRS BY PREsI-
DENT GRANT-HE EXPRESSES DESIRE TO HAVE
ALL EVILS ERADICATED-PROF. MARsIs OPINION
OF COMMISSIONER L. =. SMITHS STATEMENT
WHAT THE ANSWER GIVEN TO SECRETARY
DFLANO REALLY WAS
Prof. Marsh passed through this city yesterday
afternoon, on his way home from Long Branch,
where during the forenoon, he had a long interview
with President Grant concerning Indian al
fairs. Upon being questioned by reporter of
THE TRIBUNE as to the nature of his conversation
with the President, Prof. Marsh said that it would
not be courteous to the President for him to say
ANYTHING more than that the President had mani
tested much interest in the subject of Indian affairs,
and had expressed desipc to have all existing evils
cradicated.
When asked what lie thought Of the statement
which Indian Commissioner f. =. Smith had made
public concerning him. Prof. Marsh said that it was
entirely in keeping with the past, and did not sur
prise him at all. In regard to his having shown
the samples to Commissioner Smith, he said
that he had done purely as an act
of courtesy without regarding it as at all obligatory
upon him. lie had made promise to Red Cloud to
present the samples given him to the President him
self in person. This he had done in accordance with
his promise. With reference to Commissioner Smiths
statement that the Secretary of the Interior had re-
quested Prof. Marsh to give him in writing any
grounds OF complaints that he might have against
the Indian service at the Red Cloud Agency, in order
that the Secretary might examine and investigate
them. Prof. Marsh said, that Secretary Delano had
asked him verbally for his grounds of complaint,
and he had given them to the Secretary verbally,
and at the same time had stated distinctly that when
the Committee who were to investigate the charges
had been appointed, he would make specific charges
in writing for the benefit of the Committee. This
he had now done.
