Don't Like 1t,

The New York Sun says: At City Island, yesterday, the Hell Gate pilots passed the day watching the outgoing American vessels and bitterly denouncing those who were instru- mental in obtaining the passage of the law whereby domestic vessels in the coasting trade are exempt from compulsory pilotage tariff. sIt is simply robbery" said one of them, as he sat on the grass in front of his house and watched vessel working her way toward the ocean. ''Under the full assurance that the law would protect our rights we worked for five years learning the business of a pilot, and paid for our education, too, and at the end of our time we were subject ed to rigid examination. And now we are told that this time and money were thrown away. Many of the captains will not go without pilot, so that for some of us there will be plenty of work; but 8 great many will have to try some other business. No money will be saved to vessel owners by the new law, for the tugboat people will not re- duce their prices. The rate charged for tow ing vessels out was $1O, of which $3 went to the pilot They will find that the tugboat will still cost them $1O if the pilot gets noth- ing"

The Coming Race Between CoIu.nbia

The Coming Race Between COIumhia
 and Harvard-The Yale Crew.
 The Columbia College crew arrived in New London yesterday morning. They row the Harvard crew on Monday, the 27th. They have quarters on the west side of the river
 opposite Harvard's quarters They are in
 good condition, with the exception of Reek-
 hart, who is suffering with poisoned hand.
 Clarkson, who was substitute, was compelled
 to give up on account of strain and swell
 ing of the right wrist. The men have been
 pulling in good form, the defects being such
 that they may be easily overcome. The crew
 is as follows
 A. Moore lbowl, weight 16o pounds, age 20 years
 Charles Eldridge, ds 5o l5o rounds 91 & aa years. J. T. Lynch, 176 pounds, q years.
 A. H. Van Sinderen, ITS pounds 2f years. H. R. Muller, 163 pounds, 20 years.
 J. A B; cowles (strokel m 1s2 pounds s2 20 year years D. Porter tsubstitutel, 166 pounds, 2l years The Columbia freshmen, who are to TOW
 the Harvard freshmen at Cambridge on June 3Oth, will leave for Boston on Friday next
 They are pulling from eight to ten miles a day and are in good condition.
 The shell which will carry the Columbias in the race is 8 new paper boat and perfect model of what racing boat should be. The crew are in fine condition, and while they are not so heavy as the Harvards, are tough, sin ewy looking men, with lots of grit and stay ing powers. They are not over confident of success, but are sure of giving the Cambridge eight close pull. The time of the race is not yet definitely determined but it will probably occur at haf-past ten or eleven o'clock a. m. on Monday the 27th Moore, Columbia's bow oar, although un- finished in style, is regarded as a strong pull Ter. Eldridge was the substitute of the Hem | ley four, and is the captain of the eight. Reckhart is freshman, and is to row in the race of the freshmen eight on the 30th inst. Lynch is regarded as another good man. He rowed in the freshmen crew of 1880. Mont l gomery is senior, who has participated in several class races, while Van Sinderen is the tallest of the crew and the most reliable. Muller has rowed starboard in other races. Cowles was the freshman stroke last year. He is light oar, but possesses fine form and l indomitable pluck.
 R. c. Watson, of the class of '69, has the Harvard crew in hand, and under his guid- ance and instruction they have been in prac- | tice since October 1. They will leave Cam | bridge for New London on kFriday, and will hardly get settled in their quarters before Sat- urday Their late arrival will give them only | that day in which to pull over the course, for on Sunday they will not row for sentimental
 reasons, and on Monday physical reasons | will keep them of the water until they go on for the race itself. They will bring two shells, 8 paper and cedar, and their little steam launch, the latter craft that is supposed to
 be capable of turning in circle no larger
 than three-cent piece and so swift that mo- body has yet been able to reckon its speed. | The personnel of the crew appears in the fol-
 lowing table,

A Pleasant Time,

Last evening the stockholders of the H. H. Olds' base ball club entertained the members of the club in honor of their success over the Rubber shop nine. The pie establishment nine invited their opponents, the Rubber shop nine, to the festivities. Refreshments were served in abundance and all had jolly time, and both clubs celebrated the contest in the best of good fellowship. They have arranged to play second game in the early part of next week.
 The Olds club, hearing that the police base ball club are confident of superiority, have considered the matter, and are ready to re- ceive challenge from the knights of the To- oust, which can be addressed to the secreta- Fy, J. J. Clancy.

Another June Frost-vennor Hit it This

There was a decided and very searching white frost this morning, June 23d, in many of the towns surrounding Hartford. It was seen in Bloomfield, Windsor, Simsbury, Far mington and other places. In West Hart ford, at sunrise it was very plainly to be seen, whitening the fences and showing in the grass. It must have cut down 8 good many of the garden products, like cucum- bers, tomatoes, squashes and other tender vines.
 Vennor's Almanac, oddly enough written last November or December said the 22d and 23d of June Hook quite frosty, in the dis tance." But he predicted the month would depart in great warmth; so there is some hope of thaw, this year, after all.-Hort- ford Ti1les 23G

Interesting to Yale Men and whoeve,

Else It May Concern. Yale men and others will be interested in tn. appended poetieal effusion, ''We are Seven mot by Wordsworth concerning which tht Hartford C0ur0Tt of yesterday has the fol lowing prolegomenon: The following poem, which has never be fore been iA print, was read at the annua dinner of the New York alumni of Harvard College on the 21st of February last by Mr. Weld, the president of the Harvard club ir New York It seems to be the production oi disciple of the great English bard of philo sophical mathematics. The Harvard Register for March gave full account of this dinner, and the speeches were reported fully, and in some cases verbatim. This poem for some unaccountable reason was not printed. The Register said merely that President Weld read 'tan anonymous poetieal efusion, enti. tied We are Seven,' containing allusions to the corporation" MT. Weld added, accord ing to the report, '"There is a mystery here that we can hardly be expected to solve" We the more readily supply the omission of the RegistN because we understand that the MS. copies of the poem are so scarce that President Eliot has not even been able to show it to the Harvard faculty. Seven, per- haps it should be explained, Is the mystical number of the Harvard trustees. Hence the title of these enigmatical lines, which might n1SO US lSEuu0u-LuOuRu uOL W1Ln our 6p- proval-''Seven Up, |" or, in the native lan- guage of Cambridge, used in the theatres and the horse cars, ''The Seven Against Thebes.''
 What gives the poem 8 curious interest to outsiders, as revelation of the method of government at Harvard by Corporation Eliot, is the fact that in other colleges-Yale, for instance-every alumnus, even the humblest, if he dwells in New York city, considers him self equal to an entire college corporation. It is well known that since the change in the composition of the board of trustees at Yale the alumni have been all powerful in the management of its affairs; and it seems sim ply incredible that Harvard has been able to peg along without the valuable advice of her graduates. The revelation will be in the na- ture of a surprise:
 met a tall dark-whiskered man
 Whom students seldom meet.

 This question at his feet

An Excessively Hot July.

A Canadian astronomer writes: ''As the moon will be at her inferior conjunction on the 25th, and as the planets will be but a few degrees out of conjunction, I would advise seamen to get their vessels into safe harbors till that be passed. Terrific gales, accompa- nied by hail, will blow from the southeast all along the Atlantic coast. Brilliant showers of meteors will occur, especially within the tropics@ The tides will be unusually high in the West Indies, and hurricane will prevail on the east side of the Rocky Mountains.

THE YALE CREW.

The Yale crew took their first practice spin since their arrival on the Thames, Wednes- day evening, and notwithstanding the incl dents of the day, which had interfered with their training regime, they came down the course in splendid style, swinging along at an average stroke of thirty eight to the min ute, without break or splash, and the eight brown backs bending in absolute time with the precision of a machine. It was a splendid stroke. Mir. Wood has reason to be satisfied with his work this year. and if no accident happens, the race is likely to be even bigger walk-over for Yale than it was last season. The breaking of an outrigger de- layed the practice pull until a late hour We'd nesday evening, and it was fully 9 o'clock be- fore the crew sat down to supper, and two hours later before they retired.
