Sharpless Cup Races.
The revival Of college rowing has stead
ily grown until this year; the 9Th of July
regatta promises to be by far the most
successful held for years. Lake Quinsiga-
mond, near Worcester, Mass, has been de-
serted for fifteen years past but is an excel
lent sheet of water, seldom rough Cornell,
Bowdoin, and Brown are now at the lake,
Pennsylvania is expected to-day. In
looking over the crews, Cornell looks the
most like winner. On account of her
fine victory over Pennsylvania, Columbia
has withdrawn. Brown has been work
ing hard under Frank Holmes care, and
may cause surprise. She did once before
on this same water when her freshmen
six defeated those of Harvard and Yale.
Bowdoin had hard luck last year this
year she will do better in fact very much
better. 1t looks now as though Cornell
would win, with Bowdoin second, and
Pennsylvania third, and Brown last
Work has been begun in earnest by the
Columbia eight for the Sharpless Cup race
at Philadelphia next mouth. Under the
supervision of Captain Gibson, the eight
are practicing daily and It is not unusual
for them to pull five miles before return

stitutcd the crew is Mute, stroke weight

practice, and by next Friday the men will
be ready to 60 to Philadelphia and finish
their work on the Schuylkill. Al the
members of the present crew have pulled

New York, June 20.--The great trot
between MaXey Cobb and Phallas for the
Crown Stakes and $4,000 added money,
which will take place at Cleyeland on

THE TWO hovERs.
by Joel DENTON.

A fair little maiden there was on a time,
Not selfish or vain as | know,
Whose life ran as sweet as a musical rhyme
And this maiden had many beau
Young Mortimer sought her, and trWstfully
thought
His heart was so puffed up with pride
That she, by his grandeur, would surely be
caught
And give herself up as his bride.
He wore broadcloth and Jewels, and talked Of
his gold,
And boasted his family line;
But this little maiden had often been told
That only fine actions are fine.
Now. Harry, who went to this maiden TO WOO.
Had only his heart TO bestow;
With riches and lands he had little to do,
And he had no gay fashions TO show.
His virtues were many; his claims We're not
made
AS II he were lord of the earth:
In comely apparel his form was airayed,
And his life was more grand than his birth.
So, when Mortimer hastened, his wish TO i'm
part,
