THE COMING RACE BETWEEN HARVARD AND
YALE
A conference has been held between Ban
croft aud Trimble, of the Harvard University
crew, Thompson and Aldrieh, Of the Yale
crew. and committee OF citizens, to arrange
for the 1ale-Harvard University race. Fri
day, June u, was settled upon as the day Of
the race, which will take place between the
hours OF and p. N. The arrangements
agreed upon to-day are nearly the same as
those OF last Year. At the request Of the two
captains, the citizens agreed to make the
boat-houses water-ttght quality they did
not possess last year. They also agreed that
the space below the finish line should be I'M
obstfueted Tor one-quarter mile, and be pa
trolled by police boats and that the course
should be buoyed by yawls, anchored half
mile apart each boat flying q red flag from q
staff 20 feet high. Last wear The baoys
were 50 small as to be almost invisible to
coxswains. and therefore EaIueless as guides.
The first mentioned method Of buoying would
distinctly mark the course, and make it inn
possible for one crew to get Unto its oppo-
nent's water, except by intent It was sig
gested by Trimble that permanent quarters
be built for the crews adjacent to their boat
houses and he submitted plans providing for
two one-stOrY houses having twelve sleeninp
rooms. commodious kitchens and such other
conveniences as boating experience suggests.
The suggestions are held under advisement
Should il be decided not to build quarters for
the crews. Harvard will occupy those she had
last year. Yale is unable to secure her old

During 1878 strategic pitching was neglect

PROSPECT or THE NEW YORK SHOW.


II IL now almost certain that the entries for
the New York dog show will reach nearly q
Thousand from nearly every State In the
Union. Mr.. Charles Lincoln, the superinten-
dent states that there will be q larger and
better display Of dogs than at either Of the
preceding shows. He says that there has
been large importation Of dogs into the
country during the year; some were sent es-
pecially for this show. Sporting dogs will be
more prominent than last year, or even than
ID, 1877, when they formed a remarkable ex-
hibit. There will also be q large representa-
ton OF ladies' or toy" dogs, some OF them
being brought from st. Louis and other West
ern cities Another noteworthy feature will
be the presence Of many rare species, such as
Chinese dogs, Mexican mountain dog,
weighing about five pounds never exhibited
before,, the Leonburg dog, black and gray
striped, bred in Germany and larger than the
st. Bernard dogs never represented before,
owned by r. g. Hopkins, of New York. Les

enters a pair of French black poodles. called
