MEETING OF AQUATIC REPRESENTATIVES, OF

NEW LONDON COURSE.
NRw HAVEN Jan. is, 1875
II was expected in Yale that OF the preliminary
arrangements for the coming Yale Harvard regatta
would be perfected TO day. Captain Cook Of Yale Uni
versity Boat Club, met Captain Otis and Captain Wet
more, of Harvard, in New London in the forenoon
The Yale men authorized TO act, but the Harvard
men confessedly were not The consequence was an
unsatisfactory result Harvard introduced several pro
positions OF an unexpected nature, and Hae's hands
tied thereby What these were Captain Cook de-
clned 10 announce and states Is desirable that they
should not become known even TO the college papers
1t is believed this that Harvard either iegns to be
Indifferent in regard TO the regatta IN New London
The proposed course, three miles straghtaway, was
viewed II has been known here Tor some time that
Yale favored New London Whether she announced
her preference II is Impossible 10 learn captain Sook
states that Yale will pull wherever Harvard says, which
concession may be OF worth as establishing, IN effect,
Harvards TO have her way. II is known that
another conference will have to take place
The considerations OF Harvard must be peculiar, as
they not be reported tho Yale Boating Assoc
alton Immediately by her representatives,. Captain
Cook will not say which Yale indorsed, stating
that II may interfere with Harvard's freedom Of dis
cussoD. One fact which has not been generally
known in connection with Yalcs Withdrawal,
and has never been published IS that, al
though at the motion to consider the proposition
TO withdraw the vote was unanimous the sentiment
not The leaders those chiefly interested In
boating and thought best allow them to have
their way. Since that time however, the withdrawal
has been thought of kindly. The Yale men evi-
IDENTIFY TO keep their movements secret until Har-
ward has communicated with them. From remarks
dropped by Captain Cook 1t safe to infer that the re-
gatta will be in New London Haroor

We find the following in the War
rem Record Of last Friday, copied from
the Painesville journal:
"The Warren Record and the Ra-
VIENNA Press are having fraternal
set-to in which the Record appears to
be getting the better of its antagon-
ist."
That's an opinion as is an opinion.
The Painesville JOnIndi is a paper of
which we have never seen a copy and
we don't believe it's editor ever saw
copy of the Pass. It,therefore, has
a grand opportunity TO form an intelli-
gent Judgment in this controversy be-
tween us and the Record. Like the
Dutch Justice it hears one side and
decides in its favor, standing ready to
reverse its judgment upon hearing
the other party.

SOiIc> ioutChtc.
The present prospects for farmers
are more promising than usual. A
summary foots up as follows: The
prospect for a good hay crop much
above the average: wheat below the
average; oats looking well with good
breadth sown; corn mostly planted
and coming up well on dry
ground; the apple crop promises the
largest for many years; cherries in
abundance, with light crop of peach
es; Grapes are coming out finely.
We belieye that, if the convention at
st. Louis will adopt the greenback
platform and then nominate q candi-
date that faces the same way, the pro-
ducing classes of this country have
brighter prospects in the future. But
if a hard mouey platform and hard
money candidate is nominated then
God help the laboring classes of this
country.
The citizens of this Township are
making preparations to celebrate the
Centennial Fourth of July ins an ap-
propriate manner. AS preliminary
move they propose to erect a Liberty

The pole aud flag are already On hand
and will be erected on Decoration day.
On the Fourth a general meeting Of
the citizens will be held on the Fair
Grounds, where appropriate services
will be had, in which all are invited
to participate. The refreshments will
be in the shape of a basket dinner,
each family is expected to furnish
their own lunch, and serve in primi-
tive style.
The improvements in the limits of
