 a Procession fu the HarbOr-Remark-
 ably Good Tfme-FirevOrks and Beer
 the Natural Sequence.
 The spring races took place on the harbor yesterday afternoon. The junior crew, hav- ing lost some of their best carsmen, declined to row and only the sophomores and fresh- men appeared to contest for the silver to- surveyed and shortened by nearly thousand feet, thus making the possibilities for fast time good. '86 seemed to be the favorite, and odds of two to one were offered on her light. But when Professor Richards gave the word ttGo", the freshmen took the water half a stroke shead of their rivals and with long, clean sweep pulled steadily away from them. The sophomores evidently lacked the careful coaching which the others had re- ceived and pulled ragged, splashing stroke They lost from the start and several hard spurts failed to lessen the dozen lengths which separated them from victory. As the crews came in sight of Belle Dock the sopho- mores gathered there, mistaking the fresh- men for their classmates, cheered joyfully, but they were soon undeceived. With long. beautiful swing the eight representatives of '87 crossed the finish line in 10 minutes 50 seconds, with the sophomores seconds be- hind them. The time was remarkably good, the best made by Yale crew in years. Later in the evening the freshmen celebrated their victory by cheering and red lights, firecrack- CTS, etc. The officers of the race were as follows: Referee. Prof. B. L. Richards; time keepers, 0. Copeland '84, R. U. Hamill '84; judges, F. G. Peters '86, Samuel Knight '87; at the finish s. W. Hopkins, jr., '84, D. Winston 'S6 C.. s. Woodward 'S7

NIathematicaI Prodigies.

Singular and Interesting Cases-Re- markable malies.
 Brldgeports mathematical prodigy, Paul Zilzisky, is another instance of the many re- markable cases of extraordinary quickness at figures. It is to be noticed that all the rapid calculators who are recorded confined them selves to the four elementary operations of arithmetic, seldom or never venturing into the region of higher mathematics. On the contrary many of the worlds great mathe- maticians had little power over simple figuring. For instance, Sir Isaac Newton, who could carry in his mind the most diff cult astronomical problems. utterly broke down on questions in simple addition. Mathe- nautical prodigies are not always abnormal monsters, the result of morbid precocity or an unbalanced growth.
 The Mechanical News tells of Connecti- cut boy who possesses most surprising dex- terity in figures. He has no more than a common school education, but in less than minute he can give correct answers to such questions as the following: "GiVen locomo- tive driving wheel feet inches in diRme- ter; how many revolutions will it make in man lived who has attained the age of S7 years, months and days, allowing 30 days to month";"
 still more remarkable case, considering tho tender age of the hero, is that of boy In Richmond, Ind, now barely six years old, who has not yet learned his alphabet, but can reply at once, and correctly, to such questions as How many are forty times eiRhty2" or How many weeks are there in hfty-four years?'' In addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, he possesses this lparVelous facility of reckoning, answer ing as promptly as if merely asked his name, but of fractions 1t does not appear that he has yet made the acquaintance. The wonder in all these cases. lies, not in the in- tricaey of the problems. but in the rapidity 0a,nn5 0s snel5 Pefiosmsnce per- Has Phrenology de- to explain it? - ~Ses

The Boycotting Movement.


 What it is Proposed to DO-Hovv the Ma jOrtty of Liquor Dealers FseI-The
 General Verdict Aga1nst the MOve-
 m0nt.
 The work. done by the police officers and the prosecuting agent against Sunday liquor selling in this city recently has produced an opposition from certain liquor dealers, which has taken definite shape in the follow ing outline of work which is said to have been adopted at secret meeting of saloon keepers held recently:
 l. The appointment of committee to re- port every violation of the Sunday secular law, whether by druggists or news stand proprietors.
 9 The boycotting of every butcher or grocer who patronizes the firm of Strong, Hart & Barnes, of which Police Commission CT Hart is member.
 3. The boycotting of every merchant who patronizes or in any way assists in the sup port of any member of the Sunday Ob- servance committee, or of those members of the Board of Police Commissioners who voted for the institution of the "spotting" warfare on the saloons.
 4. The refusal by every saloon keeper to contribute penny to any public fund, whether it be for public library or a eel ebration of the centennial of the city, if any or the ODJectlOnADle memDef6 or the Sunday Observance committee are to have anything to do with the gathering or holding, or dis pensing of that money.
 5. A strong effort to induce every friend of ''modern ideas" and enemy of '.Puritani- cal hick-headedness" to oppose the attempt ed discriminating enforcement of idiotic "blue laws"
 Interviews with representative liquor sel- lers on Chapel street, Church street, Congress had by representative of this paper with view to finding out how far the boycotting movement had spread. From all that could be learned very few saloon keepers are inter- ested in the movement, and very few are in favor of it, some expressing strongly their disfavor with the project. The general opin- ion seemed to be that the movement was con- fined to 8 few who had been making Sunday liquor selling 8 leading source of their revenue. The law abiding saloonist is apparently as much opposed to the boycotting project as any other law abiding citizen would be. While some ex- press thelr dislike with the ''spotting system" employed by the police, they do not believe in trying to take revenge in the manner pro- posed. A few, however, express themselves as willing to take active measures and hint that the Common Councils appropriation for the police department next year will be some what smaller than usual. The whole matter may be summed up by the words of one liquor dealer: Ut can't succeed. The sym pathy of the majority of the dealers is against it."

The Seventh New York.

Talk of a Stop Over in New Haven.
 The Seventh regiment, New York, who will take part in the Buckingham day parade, will, it is learned by New Haven gentlemen, entertain very favorably proposition to stop over in New Haven going or returning to Hartford, and last evening the matter was being considered by the Grays' club. It is understood that this association are in favor of extending them an invitation to make brief visit to our city on this occa- sion. It is hoped that the other military companies in the city may be enlisted in the matter, so that the invitation. may partake of a general instead of a special character. If the regiment is invited here it will neces- sarily cause an expense of from $1, 800 to $2,OOO, which must be raised by voluntary contributions, and our citizens will no doubt respond promptly.
