THE AMATEUR OARSMEN.
Meeting OF the Association The
Hillsdales TO Go to England-The
Unjust Henley Rules-The Coming
Regatta.

New YORK, January 14.-The Executive
Committee Of the National Association Of
Amateur Oarsmen met this afternoon at the
Saint Cloud Hotel. 1t was decided to
abandon the six-oared barge race at the
regatta and to substitute four-oared junior
race, for which a prize banner will be
offered and prize to each member of the
winning crew. The committee appointed
to consider the advisabilitY of sending the
Hillsdale crew to England reported that
they had decided that the crew should be
sent.
The report states that while being OF the
opinion that the Hillsdales are eligible to
row in any race, the committee sdeems 1t
undignifed for the association to enter at
the Henley regatta under the present unjust
retroactive clause of their constitution, which
excludes any oarsman who ever have been
by trade or employment for wages
mechanic, aTtesan or laborer,
and that clause, which puts
foreign crews at the disadvantage of being
compelled to enter four months before the
race, while English crews send their en-
tries up to fortnight before, in addition to
which the Henley committee forbids foreign
entries for the Visitors cup. This is so
evidently levelled at American college
crews that, taken In connection with their
previous action, the committee deems it
derogatorY to the dignity of American oars
men to enter at their regatta while such
rules prevail. This report was accepted.
A committee was appointed to decide the
time and place for the regatta, favoring
Detroit If satisfactory arrangements could
be made, falling in which the choice lay
between Newark and Philadelphia The
officers of the association were constituted
committee to devise ways and means
for sending the Hlllsdales to England.

oner in the night, and whose evidence the
prosecution tried so hard to suppress, as
they did the notes of Bailey, the evidence
of detective McElfresh, and, in short, all
the evidence that might in any way aid the
prisoner" Mr. Reed said, "came Ike God
send Now, could sane man commit such
an audacious murder and then lie down and
sleep quietly and peacefully as babe? Yet
this had been done by this prisoner, as the
witness Brooks testified"
Colonel Reed reviewed the evidence Of
General Reynolds and denounced him in
scathing terms. "He (Reynolds) had
visited the prisoner in the guise of friend,
had obtained statements and admissions
from him, with the promise that they should
be given the press and the American peO-
pie, and which have never seen the light
until produced on this trial. He had en-
tered the cell Of this poor, crouching crea-
ture as a friend and had acted the part OF a
sneak and liar"
In closing Colonel Reed drew vivid pic
ture of the final act Of the drama, II by their
verdict the jury should send the prisoner to
the gallOws.
Guteau whirled around in his seat and
shouted, "Well, Mr.. Reed, had rather 90
10 that way than to be smashed up under
the cars as those poor fellows were last
night"
"Gentlemen, 1 am very much obliged
to YOU for your attention. l ask you, pray
do not do that which shall in after years
bring shame to your cheeks"
Guiteau called after him, "Reed is good
fellow, but | would not give continental
for that rubbish. II I could have one hour
before that jury l would give them the
right view and tx this matter" The court
then adjourned till Monday.

SHOCKING DISASTER.
Three Boys Buried Under a Fallen
Building.

NEW YORK, January IA shocking ac-
cident occurred about three O'Clock this
afternoon at 10S Prince street, Brooklyn.
A short time ago the fire department con-
demned a two story and basement frame
house in the rear of 1O3 Prince street,
and ordered its demolition. This had been
commenced, but not much progress
had been made, and the boys of the neigh
bOrhood used it as play house. Three OF
them ran In 1t this William
Spaulding, sixteen years old, of 103 Prince
street William Winchell, ten years old,
of No. 3 Park Alley. and Thomas Cults,
eight years old, of 103 Prince street. In
their play they put rope around one of the
posts supporting the building and began to
pull on 1t. A neigt Dor who was watching the
boys saw the building shake He shouted
to them, but too late, for the building came
down all in a heap, burying the unfortu-
nate boys beneath the debris. There was
good deal Of excitement in the neighbor-
hood at the time and the fremen were called.
and after some little labcE the bodies of the
victims OF their own carelessness were re-
covered. They must have been instantly
killed
