lumpy and in no condition for the oarsmen
to make fast time. S. n. Ogden Of Newark,
w. B. Peet of New York aud Louis Kuehle
were the contestants. Pect started first,
closely followed by Oglen. At the quarter
milo the New Yorker had increased his lead
to over a quarter of leugth, Kuello about
fifty feet in advance of Ogden These positions
were unchanged ut the half mile. Shortly
after Ogden fell three lengths in the rear of
the other oarsmen, and ut tho mile was still
furthur behind. Kuehle spurtcd aud passed

The rumor circulated last night By friends
Of Columbia that protest would bo made
against Lewis of Cornell rowing in the inter-
collegiate race on the ground that he is not u
postgraduate is untrue. No protest will DO
made, as 1t would not be seriously considered,
inasmuch us he holds ticket of registration
from Cornell university. Tho captain of tho
University of Pennsylvania crew this evening
stated that he believed Lewis more entitled TO
row ia the college RAGS than one Of the mcin-
bers Of tho Columbia crew, and that hc would
slrcnuousy oppose any attempt made to dis
qualify Lewis. 1t is generally believed the
Columbia oarsmen, IL not iutcrlered with by
outside parties, would not have entertained
for u moment the idoa Of protesting against
Lewis. Great interest coutrcs in the inter-
collegiate race, to be rowcd on Friday To-
night Columbia Is decided Rvolitc and the
University OF Pennsylvania is generally given

The RIdornen ut Wimbledon.

LONDON, July 1I.--Sir Henry IIalord has
had no reply from America yet In regard to
the international match at Wimbledon. His
team will DO selected after the Echo shield
competition.
Gerrish's score Of yestorday-33 out Of pos
sblc 35-in tho competition for tho Snider
association cup has been beaten. In the st.
Leger competition at tho 0J0-yarjs range
Farrow and Rathbone made 40 each out of
possible So Scott and Dudley made AZ each,
aud Gerrisl aud Brown 40 each. The light
became less favorable aud tho wind increased
when the shooting was proceeding in the
Curtis and Harvey prize competition at
1000 yards. Out Of possible 35 Scott made
30 and Farrow 20. In tho Halford priza COM
petition, 1000 yards, out of a possible 80 jack
son has the top score, 4S.
Sir Henry IIaliord has received telegram
from Colonel Gildorslcevc stating that tho
restriction refers TO the American team as a
body, not to the action Of individual mem
bcrs. This is considered satisfactory as it
will stop the attempt Of Colonel Bodiue and
Major Lcech TO prevent the men from shoot
ing in tho match between Sir Heury HAlford's
aud General Hawloy's teams.
In the contest for the Graphic prizes at 200
yards, Farrow scored 80 out OF possible 80.
This gives him about second place so far.
AT meeting of the team executive COM
mittee, consisting of Hyde, Scott and jackson,
1t was decided to meet again on the 21st to
agree upon aud appoint the shooting members
The team will have team practice Oh the 22d.
Clark, Rathbouo aud Fisher will leave VIM
blcdon on the 22d. They believe strong
team can be selected without them.
LONDON, July 1i.-Colonel Gldorsleeve's
telegram removes tho objections Of those who
declined to comply with the requirements of
the National association. The Americans will
now decide upon the composition of their team
with view Of success in the match. Rath-
bone says that while his previous objections
are removed, lie will not shoot to the
exclusion of Dudley and Gerrish, who came
for tho purpose, or Of Jackson, Laird or Rock
well, who had not the opportunity to shoot at
Dollymount Rathbono to-day scored "A out

DENVER, CoL., July II. - Last evening
Cherry creek, which is usually very small
stroam rose five feet. The water came down
with rush, rising fo1t in ten minutes. No
damage was done in the city except the weak
ening of the bridge. 1t IL thought the track
of the Colorado Central railroad will be washed
away before morning, The rise was probably
caused by water.spout IN the mountains.
A special dispatch to the Tribune from
Pueblo, dated Monday, says There is worse
food in the Fountain to-day than since 1868.
The torrent of water came down with rush,
carrying every thing before it, Ofthirty persons
camping in the river bottom all escaped but
one. Tho railroad twenty miles from this
place is washed out The river rose eight feet
in less than an hour, aud the emigrants
camped along its bottom lost nearly every
thing. Tho flood was caused by cloud
bursting.
