Harvard Easily Wins the University
Boat-Race.

HAYWARD WINS.

Eighth Annual University Race Between
Harvard and Yale.
NEW LONDON, Conn, June 2S.-The eighth
annual Yale-Harvard eight-oared four mile
straight away race was rowed at $50 P. NJ,
Harvard having virtually a walkover, win
ming in the slow time of 24:46X; Yale's time.
25:59. Fully 5000 strangers were in town,
one train of seventeen cars being from New
Haven. Many people were also present from
Boston. The course was lined with steam,
sail and row-boats, while the observation
train which ran along the bank of the river
was crowded. The water was in fair condi-
ton, the wind about southwest, and mod
crate.
Both crews were unusually prompt in APP
pearing at the line, and the boats were
promptly started, Yale obtaining a trine the
best start, and with their rapid, jerky stroke
at the first half was a good clear length
ahead, but here the steady, long sweeping
stroke of Harvard began to tell, and they
gradually .crept up to the Yales until at the
mile flag they were bow and bow, both
crews pulling about forty strokes a minute.
From here to the finish the long, steady
SeAOoN " AAdA VAIN 6aNS q
lead. AT mile and a half Harvard was
pulling thirty-four and was a length ahead
of Yale, pulling forty. At the two-mile
flag, Harvard was a good two lengths to the
front, pulling in fine form, while
Yale, though pulling here a jerky
stroke in good form, was slowly dropping
astern. AT two and one-half miles Harvard
was five lengths ahead and gradually increas-
ing the lead. At three miles Harvard was
seven lengths ahead, pulling thirty-four
strokes a minute to Yales forty-two. At
the commencement of the last mile Harvard
was pulling thirty-five strokes to Yale's
forty-one, and at the beginning of the last
half mile Harvard had ten lengths to her
credit, From here to the finish both crews
spurted, Harvard pulling thirty-seven and
the Hales forty-three strokes per minute, but
all efforts on the part of Yale were fruitless.
Instead of gaining on their rival they gradual
ly lost ground, Harvard crossing the line the
winner from fifteen to twenty lengths.
For the first mile the race was
most exciting, but after Harvard headed
Yale at the mile flag the race was virtually
conceded to be ended. After the race there
was much condemnation Of Yale's ierky
stroke, and while it was generally conceded
that their crews were we'll able to keep it up,
vet it is safe to announce that it will never
again be attempted. For Harvard's men
only praise is heard on every side, and that
in two weeks practice a stroke was found
capable of carrying them to victory was o
genuine surprise. At the conclusion, num-
bers two and seven in Yale's boat were evil
IDENTIFY pumped. Betting in the morning
was five to four on Yale, but in the after
noon changed to two to one on Harvard.

Paris Special.
Last evening about 8 o'clock the attention
of the crowd OF promeuadersin the Quarter
DIES Pyramids was attracted by a suicide, ac-
complished in a manner very eccentric, even
for a great city like Paris. A gentleman
newly ana respectfully dressed, entered the
restaurant of John Bull, at the corner OF the
Rue DIES Pyramids and the place Jean dare,
and ordered an elaborate dinner. He con-
sumed the delicacies set before him with an
evident relish, and after each dish or glass of
wine he jotted down a few observations in a
notebook. He completed his repast
very leisurely, with the satisfaction OF a
man who had achieved a thoroughly first
rate dinner. He then called for a small glass
of fine champagne and an excellent Havana
cigar. He slipped the former and lighted the
latter, and finally told the waiter to bring
his bill. The waiter turned his back, and the
gentleman who had dined 50 agreeably re-
moved the cigar from his lips and inserted in
his mouth the muzzle of a revolver. He fired
four bullets through his brain. A doctor
was called, and the dead man was searched.
They found absolutely nothing in his peck
cts, except the notebook. On the first page
OF this was written, in large, bold characters,
the words: "a dinner OF death" My last
impressions" Then followed a critique on
each dish. conceived in the style and unity
OF idea of an accomplished connoisseur. In
the end he expressed his regret that. he, an
ex-oficer Of the French army, and decorated
at that, should die as a disgraced man, after
having striven during the war, to fall by a
Prussian bullet.

for Sufferers.


for Sufferers.
ST. LOUIS, June 2S.-There is not much to
be said about the fiood here and elsewhere
tonight. The river has fallen five inches in
the past tweuty-four hours, and the feeling
that no more damage will be done constantly
strengthens. About 500 men are working
on the Chicago & Alton embankment, and
it will be put in thorough repair as fast as
the water recedes. The trestle across the
gap near Newport is serving its purpose
admirably, and trains of the Chicago &
Alton, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Indi-
annapolis & st. Louis and Wabash are passing
over it without interruption. The Indianap-
oils & st. Louis will put a force at work to-
morrow to build a similar ~trestle, and the
Wabash will commence work on its track at
Nameoki and other places as soon as it ap-
pears above water.
The relief committee of Venice made boat

turned over TO Inherent rellet committees.

good deal of land north and east of Mitchell
which has not been o4erlowed, and farmers
there are making active preparations to cut

since the reorganization Of the Democratic
State central and executive committees He
IS exhibiting his sores, explaining his defeat,
and making an appeal for sympathy. This
he ought not to do, for his own sake. Ho
has heen a party barnacle so long that his
removal from executive place was an event
which for a time naturally attracted wide
spread attention; but now he might be per-
mltted to retire quietly to the shades if he
would bride his tongue. If his appeals for
harmony in the Democratic party have been
sincere he ought to gracefully accept the
situation now. He is lucky to get out with
