NEW YORK, May 2G.-The event OF the
day on the avenues and Central Park was
the parade Of the Coaching Club. The
parade was formed on the east side Of
Madison Square, and moved into and up
Fifth avenue to Central Park. In the
Park u long drive was taken, and the
coaches returned down Fifth avenue 10
Washington Square and thence drove up
town again to the Hotel Brunswick.
Here the club gave dinner, to which
sixty FIVE persons sat down, and in the
evening there was iOvial dance.
Col. WIN. Jay drove team OF three
bayS and chestnut.
W.P. Douglass tooled cross team Of
grays and bays.
Fairman Rogers fooled four strapping
big bays.
Colonel Kane, the WestchesCr coach.
man, had out iue team Of grays and
bays.
The other amateur whips were Fred.
Wilson, Augustus Whiting, Perry Bel.
mont, Francis K. Rives, Fred. Bronson,
Theodore A, Havemeyer aud Hugo O..
FritsCh.
Each coach carried two or three ladies,
most deliberately arrayed in spring sty le,
beside Il number Of gentlemen. There
were no inside passengers, and hence the
rain which threatened twice during the
parade, was not looked forward to with
any degree OF pleasure. Fortunately it
fell very lightly and for only short
time.
There were only two mishaps. Mr..
FritsCh's nigh leader fell at Twenty
eighth street, and Colonel Kane's off
leader followed suit at Twenty.iirst
street and Fifth avenue, at nearly the
same spot where James Gordon Bennett
upset his coach, on the same day and at
the same hour last year, but the circum.
stances were different.

admission to the Catholic Church. This
was granted, and his progress was 20
rapid that he was to-day made n holy
priest. His entire family, save the con.

and were much affected.
BASE BALL MANIA.
Many graduates OF Yale and Harvard
Universities went 10 New Haven to-day
to see the ball game for the college cham.
pionship between mines Of the two insti.
tutions Oflearning Each club had made
an excellent record this year each had
played about fifteen games with other
clubs, and each had been defeated once
only, and that by professionals. A very
close contest was expected, and the old.
time college rivalry was fully aroused.
Thousands gathered to see the game. The
Harvard men were heavily backed by
betting men, and the odds were largely in
their favor. The weather was fine. Very
early IN the game two points we're made
plain. First, that the Harvards could
not bat the Yales' pitching, and that when
they did hit the ball they sent it toward
the left field. Yale massed her iielders
there and captured many an unlucky
batsman. Yale played beautiful field.
ing game, and by good batting and
through Harvard's fielding errors, put in
five runs before the sixth inning, after
which they gotno more. The Harvards
did not score at all. Only four Of her
men reached first base. A peculiarity Of
her record was that each Of her nine went
to bat three times and were three times
put out.
The game, although seemingly one
sided, was really very fine. The Yale's
runs were secured in every instance by
hairs breadth, and under circumstance
where it was almost unjust to charge
Harvard with errors, or credit Yale with
runs earned. Itwas succession OF good
luck.
TWEED "REMINISCENCES.
Mr.. Tweed's chances OF getting out oi
Jail do not improve daily. There has
been any amount OF dillydallying and
wire.pulling Of politicians to save their
friends from the crash which it is be.

statement, and OF those who wish TO make
political capital from his misfortunes
Mr.. Peckham, to whom the State Attor.

written an opinion as 10 its value in
further Ring prosecutions, but what
that opinion is has not yet been made
public.
Tweed Is the only man who can con.

The city will make nothing by Twecd's

Of it given away. His counsel fees have
been over S356O0O, of which Sl50,OOO
