The Illinois Legislature has adopted
by the solid republican vote, and the
vote of one democrat, the Chicago
election law intended to guard against
the frauds which have disgraced that
city. The controlling idea of the plan
is the appointment by IL bipartisan
board of election officers divided be-
tween the two principal parties, cou-
pied with Il rigid registration, which
is verified by canvass by officers Sc
lected from opposing parties. The
counting of votes is also carefully ar
ranged and the final canvass is in the
hands of a non partisan returning
board. The act takes effect only when
adopted by il popular vote in Chicago,
and any other considerable city of the
state may in like manner adopt it.

The Foxv Harvards.

! A correspondent of the New York Trib- une writing from Cambridge concerning the l trickery of the Harvard oarsmen says: Perhaps the best trick in regard to the stroke was played on Louis K. Hull, captain of the '94 Yale crew. In company with an- other Yale man he came up to Cambridge about month ago and asked Storrow to give them exhibition spin. This Storrow prom ised to do on the following day. In the meantime he taught his men in about three quarters of an hour how to row the stroke used by Yale with such disastrous results two years ago. In the exhibition spin they rowed that stroke in way that would have made Mike Davis soul rejoice. Hull then went back and told New Haven reporter that the Harvard crew were rowing the old abandoned. Yale stroke. This statement got into print and went all over the country be- fore it was corrected.
 It is said that this trick of Sorrows has been the cause of Hulls wrath against the employment of 8 professional coach. The truth is that the Yale crew were sold all the spring. They expected from all the reports sent out from Cambridge and from the sto- ries of their own men who had seen the men row to have an easy victory. When they the deceit played on them. They had not done such hard work as they should and Captain Cook in trying to get them into con dition in a week overworked them.
 Storrow was "foxy" with the reporters who attempted to write up the crew. They say that he always misrepresented the crew and it's stroke for the worse.

SUMMER NOTES.
The Rush te Summer Resorts Started
 -Shnro


 Shore Cottages.
 Summer travel has already begun, and the recent warm days have had the effect of driving the people who generally spend the summer at the shore and among the noun tains to these health resorts The White Mountain express was put on for the first time yesterday, and left this city at 11:20 a. m with several drawing room cars attached, and carried goodly number of passengers for the first days travel. The first train over the Shore Line road for the season, con | necting at New London with the steamer fo1 Block Island, also left this city yesterday l well filed with passengers. By this route people are able to arrive at Block Island by | 12:3O o'clock noon, and return to this city by | g o'clock in the evening. Although the | shore season does not really begin until after | the 4th of July nearly, all the cottages on | both the east and west shores are already occupied and new occupants are ! constantly arriving The shore hotels are l not in full blast as yet, but the hotel proprie | tors look for 8 good. business during the summer, as they think the cholera scare will l have the effect of inducing many people to go to the shore this summer who would otherwise stay at home.
 At Stony Creek, although the hotels are open and many guests are registered for the months of July and August, business opens rather light. Some of the cottages are oc- cupied, but there are still large number yet not taken for the season. On the islands some of the cottages are already occupied and after the Fourth will rapidly fill up. Osprey Beach opened Thursday and large crowds visited there and partook of one of Ockford & Jerome's shore dinners. On. the whole the shore hotel proprietors look for ward to a good season

LOOK AT THE REeoRDs.


 1s 1t a winnIng strokea-A Review
 of the ssCo0k StrOkess So Called
 Voices For a Change.
 An editorial in the New York Times of June 29 speaking of the Cook stroke as "a winning stroke" leads the writer to go into it's past history to discover if possible why it should be 50 called As rowed by Captain Cook and his crew in the college regatta of 1874 at Saratoga it consisted of a hang or pause before the oar was put into the water. This was followed by strong pull through and slow recover remarkable for the height to which the blade of the oar was carried above the water. The stroke was certainly a peculiar one. So marked was it that the crew could be distinguished from all others by this sky-scraping recover. The race l rowed, Yale was badly beaten. If the stroke was winning one why did it not win with 1 it in 1874a He also rowed at Saratoga in 1875 and with such veterans to assist him as | Kennedy, Kellogg, Brownell. The stroke again failed to bring Yale to the front. Surely with an old crew and ! his own stroke he should have won on it's merits. In 1877 he coached a crew which rowed his stroke against Harvard at Springf field, and so confident was he of their winning that he advised all his friends to wager on their success. This crew was beaten from the word ''go." He coached the 1878 and '79 crews under Captain Thompson, and what sorry spectacle they presented at New London with their slow, hanging stroke. Captain Rogers, having served in the Thompson crew, took charge of his own gal lant eight. The years 1880 and 's1 form a pleasant break in the series of "Cook strokes" Rogers is the only captain who ever had the good fortune to carry his crew to victory over Harvard for two successive years with the exception of Wilbur Bacon, who in 1864 and 1865 won easily. Captain Hull with his fifty minute stroke cer tainly broke away from Cook, but if he had stuck to the stroke which Rogers left him he would now have better boating record. The stroke which Captain Flanders rowed in 1881 was combination of the slow stroke which gave the long pull through the water with the quick recover of '83 and this made stroke resembling the Rogers stroke of 80 nn nnd sh sbrourh That he s wateq long, wth steady reasonably quick recover and quick catch, rowing thirty-six OF thirty-seven to the minute, with spurt up to forty-two when pushed, the catch-pull finish and re- cover all so blended as to give the boat steady haadway. If Flanders had been left alone and not been put under the advisory com mittee, composed of Cook, Hull and Elan ders, he would have probably kept his stroke and been 8 winner in '65 as he was in '84 From the above it must be seen that the Cook stroke" has been tried and failed. So the advice to the coming men who are to represent Yale at the oar is to secure a per son who can teach them winning stroke, and let old boating men have rest from the Cook stroke" which has so often caused sorrow among them and sent trophies which should have come to Yale to the university at Cambridge.
