The intercollegiate Rowing Associa.
IiOn.

NEW YORK, December 2S.-Captain
Nicoll, of the Princetown university
boat club, writes letter about the with
drawal OF Yale and Harvard, and says
"The Intercollegiate rowing associa-
ton is likely to exist, and the time of the
winning crew in the regatta of '76 will
not be postponed because Yale and Har-
ward are not among the contestants"
Captain Nicoll reminds the withdrawing
crews that the intercollegiate rowing
association at its last convention invited
the English universities to be present ct
the regatta of '76, and challenged to
race, and asks: "How in common courte-
sy can we, unless the challenge be de-
elined, abandon or in any wsy impair
the existence of the association whose
invitation and challenge our English
cousins will probably accept.n At
meeting Of Harvard Just previous to the
withdrawal, one of the students said:
"The Columbia boat at the last college
regatta contained five men who had no
right to be there" Thepresident of the
Columbia boat club characterize ss this
statement 50 utterly false, adding:
"Harvard must be sadly in need OF a
good excuse for withdrawing from the
association. if the best one she can fi1d
is an untruthful and objectionable
cslumny against her stro, gest friends"

and comply With the action Of the meet.
ing when EXPRESSED by stock vote,
brought several directors to their feet.
Jas. II. Baker, one Of the directors, said
if the resolution was adopted he would
leave the me eting, and he thought his
colleagues weuld do the same, inssmuch
as it was an insult to them. They came
there to attend meeting of gentlemen,
and they proposed to be treated as such,
or else they would not remain. The
other directors present, Samuel Hayes,
president Of the road; Daniel r. Carl
son, Johh Tousey, Andrew Pearce and

FROM CHINA.
Latest Budget OF News by steamer 20
san Franeisco-Heavy Fabinre OF
an American House.

BAN FRANsIscc, December 2S-The
latest news frOm the Hong hong ETcs7
is as follows: Placards eeBsuring the
Chinese government for arranging the
terms with Mr.. Wade appeared in Pc
king, bat were Immediately suppressed
by the authorities. An uneasy feeling
among the native officials regarding the
recent negotiations is reported. Fresh
information implieating the momeln
authorities in Mr.. Margrsy's murder is
said to have tTanspired. Refeiting to
the above, the Press says: "Telegrams
just received indicate anything but sat
isfae ory ft telling among the Chinese with
regard to the recent negotiations. They
appear to bear out what we stated yes
terday, that the difficulty hiss only been
settled temporarily" Considerable dis
satisfaction Is felt among the American
Teidents at Tientsin and feking at the
order of Admiral Reynolds sending the
United SIa.es steamer Monarch to
Shanghai for repairs, owing to the IN
settled state OF affairs in Ydnnan.
There Is no doubt whatever of the fall
tire OF Messrs. Russell & s urges, Manila
merchants. TIE firm has suspended
payments. The gross liabilities will be
large. On the fact becoming known in
Manila, regular panic ensued. This
STATE of things lestsd sorse esys, but by
the day the last steamer left the panic
had passed away, although confidence
was very much shaken. Tie local Iia-
bilities will range from two million dol
lars to two million and half. 1t is be-
lieved In certain influential and inter
ested quarters that arrangements will be
made whereby the house will soon be
able to resume business.

sportsman would shoot quail before Sep
TENDER LIST, as they were not fit to eat, and
marketmen would not buy them as they
were too small to be profitable. He was
therefore in favor of the passage of a
general law embracing all birds, preventing
shooting until September LIST He also
wanted law like the New York one,
which punished any person having in his
possession, whether for sale or not, game
out of season, and the punishment should
be severe. There were some good game
clubs in the State, but he wanted more of
them,- in every town.
Senator Barton, of Salisbury, also ex-
pressed his views. He was in favor of the
LIST of September. He gave some very
interesting facts regarding the habits of
the woodcock.
MIR. Hayes, of Bridgeport, wanted a
universal game law to take effect Septem-
Der LIST.
The committee on the constitution and
bylaws reported series of the same,
founded mainly upon those of the Ohio
State Society, which were read and adopted
as a whole.
After nomination of permanent officers,
consisting of President, Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer, delegates were
appointed to the National Convention to
oe nelu aC cleveland, OnlO, IN june
Standing committees were appointed on
Rules and Regulations and Game Laos; and
on Fish Culture.
Rev. Mr.. Wells moved that the executive
committee consist of the regular officers of
the Association, the standing committees
above mentioned and that they shall have
the supervision of affairs of the association.
This motion was amended SO that the
executive committee was added to the list
of officers required by the constitution of
the Association, and their powers added
to the by laws, and as amended both mo-
tions passed.
The afternoon was spent in the discussion
of matters of interest to the Association,
Spring snipe shooting, woodcock hunting,
sharing game, and the protection of fish.
The farmers of the State were invited by
vote, to assist the Association in securing
its objects by CO operation with them.
The committee then adjourned to meet
in Hartford on the third Wednesday in
May, when the committees will report. and
steps be taken to have the Legislature
revise the present laws or repeal them ana
mako new ones. 1t was altogether an
important meeting.

PROTECTION OF GAME AND FISH.

Some one has sent us a Connecticut
newspaper containing a report of the an
nual meeting of the Hartford Game Club.
Our people being very much in the dark
on this subject, we publish the report as
the best means Of bringing before our
readers the object of such associations, in
the hope that similar movement will be
inaugurated in this State:
ORGANIZATION OF A STATE ASSOCIATION
ITS OBJECT.
At the annual meeting of the Hartford
Game Club committee was appointed to
call State convention of sportsmen in
Hartford for the purpose of forming
State Sportsmen's Convention. That meet
ing was held in Central Hall, Tuesday.
There was numerous attendance at the
appointed hour and the number was in
creased during the morning session. The
convention was called to order by the Hon.
F. w. Russell, President of the Hartford
Game Club
DR.. Hudson stated the object of the
meeting, which was first to appoint com
mittee to revise and perfect the present
game and fish laws of this State, and when
perfected to advocate the passage of the
law by the Legislature; second, to appoint
county, senatorial or town committees,
whose duty it shall be to use their influence
with the representatives of the people in
their respective sections in order that the
representatives may appreciate the import
ance of their work, and give it their sup
port in the Legislature; third, to appoint
delegates to the National Sportsmen's Con-
vention, to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, in
June, and lastly to inaugurate measures
that will tend to advance the cause of game
and fish culture.
Mr.. Bestor moved that the gentlemen
present form themselves into State Sports
mems Association.
Mr.. Banks moved to so amend by calling
the society "The Connecticut State Asso-
citation for the Protection of Fish and
Game"
Mr.. Banks gave as his reason for offering
the amendment that it was much easier to
OUtdiu ltS iSidllou ny du dssoCidtioh, uhuSi
the name he presented, than it would be
under the one offered by Mr.. Bestor, as
farmers would naturally suppose it was
composed of an entirely different class of
men known as the sporting fraternity or
sports.
A committee of three was appointed on
constitution and bylaws.
DR.. Hudson said the present laws of the
State were Intellectual and all attempts at
prosecution under them were inefficient
and sure to fail. 1t was the object of this
meeting to have the Association SO revise
the game laws that they could obtain the
passage through the Legislature of more
stringent acts that would tend to the pres
ervation of game and the better protection
of fish. 1t was therefore proper for the
sportsmen of the State to meet for discus
sion, and to devise means for the accom-
plishing of their ends. He spoke of the
great evil of Summer shooting and of the
sharing of cartridges. He would have the
game law extended from July to Septem-
Der, or even to the first of October. No
