The New York delegation met at IL o'clock
and continued in session four hours. Great
interest was felt in the meeting and the hall
way in front of the room in which the session
was held was filed with throng anxious to
secure early tidings of the result. 1t was un-
derstood that at the meeting late last night.
Tammany decided to insist on two-thirds
majority for the enforcement of the unit rule
and the question was whether that number,
could be mustered. There was long and ex-
cited discussion, the tenor of which has not
yet been learned, though rumors of the results
OF the balloting crept out from time to time,
which could not be verified. The following
are given as the ballots taken for presidential

Gradually the Cornell and Pennsylvania

Princeton and Columbia struggling in the
rear. At the mile flag Bowdoin had trouble
with the steam barge Lady of the Lake, and
they dropped out of the race. 1t was an out

officers of the barge and the Bowdoin men are
very much enrsged at the affair. The race
was won by the University crew BY about two

The salutatory was very interesting, and the
essay on 1.-THE Progress of Civilization" de-
serves special mention. The history was
highly pleasing, it being pithy and full of
good hits, while the yaledictOry partook more
of the spirit of a valedictory than is often
noticeable. The music was excellent, and the
floral display beautiful.
After the exercises at the church, the prin-
cipai OF the school, Mr.. W. W. Curtis, ten

alumni, which was much enjoyed by all
present.
The Buxton Band came to Gorham last
evening and played in front of Harding's

was very fine.

and it issafe to say it will not grow less
honest. Itnow has a reputation of great
value. Large organizations are being

CINCINNATI, Sept. 4.-There is little
change in the trades reported dull last
week, with the exception of tailoring
and shoemaking, which are Frightening
up little. The tailors anticipate brisk
fall trade, while the shoemakers hope
to be equally fortunate.
The molders report no change in mat
ters in their trade, and the same may be
said of the cigarmakers. There have
been some objections raised to the report
sent from here two weeks ago in regard
to the efforts the cigarmakers are maxi
ing to relieve the wants of all in their
trade who are unemployed. The report
said they were endeavorlng to keep the
wolf from the door, which was objected
to. The facts are as follows: There are
about 400 persons who are not lawfully
entitled to benefits, including appren-
tices and some journeymen who were
out of the factories since the lock
began. To relieve the Immediate wants
of these people the Cigarmakers' unions,
four in all, including the Packers union,
are giving weekly entertainments by
which means they keep the wolf from
the door.

EQUAL pistribution Of wealth.

=. The sermon of Rev. d. De La Matyr,
at the Lawrence Street Methodist
church, last Sunday evening, on the sub
ject of the equal distribution of the
products of labor, was very interesting
one. Interesting from the fact that the
theme, which is of vital Importance to
the spiritual and temporal welfare of the
race, is almost totally ignored in the pull
pit. Perhaps the departure of the doctor
is the forerunner of more healthy
growth of ideas in the so-called churches
of Christ. Perhaps other reverend gen.
tlemen will follow De La Matyr's ex-
ample, and go back-to the first principles
of Christianity, which are now SO much
clouded in mist arising from false doc
trines, cooked to the order of the rich
that the poor cannot possibly expect to
be benefited by them. The sermon
compared with those that many of the
hearers are used to listening to, is as
wheat to chaff, or labor to good square
meal. Let ministers of the gospel con-
descend to come down to the level of the
homes, needs and desires of the poor,
reaching out to their hearts, and better
work will be performed for Christianity
than has been done since Christ himself,
when inquired of by John for proof of
his ministry, told his disciples to tell
him, "the poor have the gospel preach ed
to them
