Raiding Bath Llauor sellers,

BATH, July 1.-THE war against the liquor
dealers was opened in this city last night.
Several places where liquor for some time
has been almost openly sold were visited by
the police. At the saloons of Arthur B.
Tribou and E. E. Winslow large quantities
of liquor were seized. Some of the other
dealers, fearing raid, promptly closed. 1t
is said that the raid was made because the
dealers, after being requested by the police
not to sell last evening or to-day openly de-
fed the orders of the city authorities. The
temperance advocates are jubilant to-day
over the action of the police, and now pro-
pose it is said, to inaugurate general war
fare against the saloons. The seizures last
night are the first that have been made in
this city for nearly year.

Letter.
Here is fact for you to think over, viz Med
1cal science proves that diseases, no matter how
great a variety they seem to have, proceed from
comparatively few causes. 1t is for this reason
that some single medicines relieve cure so wide
range OF complaints-some of them appearing
almost directly opposite in their natures. When
medical preparation acts at once upon the di-
gestlye and urinary organs, and also purifieS the
blood, the list of difficulties subject to its control
is astonishing. But, while many things are said
to possess this power, those which actually do eX-
ert it are very rare.
1t is conceded that DIR. KENNEDYS FAVOR
ITE REMEDY, of ROnd0ut, n. Y, is the most
effective preparation now in use for all diseases
arising from foul Or impure state of the circula-
tion. Hence it is more than likely that if the

At the finish of the first mile Cornell had,
being about fifteen feet behind Cornell half
a length ahead of Bowdoin, who were fully
two lengths ahead of Pennsylvania.
No Official time could be taken at the finish
Of the race, as the tug upon which the ref
cree, judges and press rode was much slower
than the oarsmen. The time taken was
minutes 103 seconds. This is a minute slow
made in their practice during the week
The grove at the finish was a scene of wild
enthusiasm, and the boat loads of collegians
gathered around their favOriteS and gave
them their peculiar appreciation in longre-
sounding rahs, which were answered and
re-echoed. NO sooner was the race finished
than the claims and counter claims of foul
were putin and the referee summoned all the
judges and crews to the Quinsigamond boat
house, where a lengthy hearing was given.
Every side was heard and as result the ref
cree, Lincoln decided to disqualify the Cor
nells on account of fouling the Bowdoins,
and to the Pennsylvanians he gave third
place. The honorS of the race lay between
Bowdoin and Brown, and to settle it he or
dered that they row the race on the morning
of July 13
The grounds upon which Mr.. Lincoln bas
ed his decision was rule II of the rules of the
intercollegiate Regatta Rowing Association
which permits him to place the boats in the
order in which they come in, except any that
may be disqualified provided that the fouled

sufficient lead at the time of the foul to
warrant the race being assigned to it, If the
fouled boat does not come in first, or if it is
unable to decide which is an error he has the
power to order such of the leading competi-
tors to row over again as in his own opinion
they are entitled to another competition.
The Brown crew held meeting after the
race, and voted not to remain to row against
Bowdoin, and authorized referee Lincoln to
award the medals to the Bowdoins. There

notification to such effect from Brown. He
has received dispatch tonight from the
Browns captain, on his way to Philadel-

the 23d. 1t is not expected, however, that
BOwdOin will consent to remain here in
training until that date.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,


Hon. p. Henry Dasgro, Grand 'Sachens:
Dear Sir-l beg to acknowledge the receipt of
your invitation to join the society of Tammany in
its 97th celebration of the 4th Of july the birth
day of the republic and regret that the pressure
of official duties and engagements prevent the ae-
ceptance of this kind Invitation. OF the purposes
sought to be accomplished by the people In their
recent choice OF chief magistrate, referred to in
your note of Invitation, / am seriously mindful,
and IN order that the hopes of the people may be
fully realized, every member of the party in power
should yield cordial support to all efforts on the
part OF the administration to restore pure free
and just government The statement contained
in your note ''That the administration should so
discharge all its functions as to merit not only the
appreciation of the people but at the same time en-
sure harmonious party, united in the Jefferso-
nian Democracy" meets my approval, though my
conception OF the true purposes and mission of my
party conyinces me that il the present admnistra-
ton meets the intelligent approval of the people
this result of itself certainly should insure har-
monions party, united in Jeffersonian Democra-
cy.'' While the coming celebration will revive
the devotion and sacrifice for the sake Of free in
stitutions no occasion is more proptious for re-
newal of our pledges to a live aud progressive
democracy so essential to our countrys safety and
prosperity. Yours very truly.
