dencc, New York at Boston, Detroit at

Newark found no difficulty in defeating
the Jersey City nine yesterday, the score
being to 8. The Nationals won closely
contested game with the Norfolks-3 TO ..
The fine work of Powell and Fulmcr won
the game. Virginia defeated Wilmington
lobby heavy batting after the fifth
inning. The Nationals will probably win
TO day, which will place them second, as
predicted by THE CmTIc that they would
be ere the end of the week.
Aquatics.
A good deal of natural curiosity Il OK
hibitcd MS to how Kirby, the reinstatcd
amateur scullcr, will show up this season.
Since he went into retirement several first
class scullers have sprung up, notably
O'Connell, Donohue and Stone. Kirby
will probably meet these men at the Ma
| tional this year, and II Is the general inn
| preston that ut least two of them are faster
| that he is.
Major Appleton is going to have his
| double scull, which is one of Davis
double cockpit boats made into one cock
| pit. The double cockpit craze was of short
duration, though many of the best-posted
men in the country on the subject still
maintain it superior. The only crew that
ever made much of record with boat
| of the kind was the Minnesota crew of st.
| Paul. They rowed the Hillsdale a fine
race here in 1881.
Mr. Ruddick the famous boat-builder
| of Boston, has extended an invitation to
| the Washingtons when they visit Boston
| on the National regatta.
Mr.. Elliot, n son of Judge Elliot of
| Greenpoint, n. Y, has taken up his resi-
| dence in Washington. Judge Elliot has
| been one ofthe chief supporters of row.
| ing for thirty years, and is known from
| one end of the country to the other The
| son seems to be chip Of the old block.
The Washingtons are fortunate in hay
ingsuch popular gentleman as Mr.. VIM.
Dickson at the head of their organization.
Off annual cight-oared races between
Harvard and Yale, the latter has won
| four and the former five. This year il
| looks as though Yale would succeed in
tying the score. The best time was made
by Harvard in 1878, 20;45, for the foul
miles. She had that year and the next
one of the best eight cared crews ever got
ten together in this country The worst
defeat either club has received Harvard
gave Yale in 1879, when she beat her !
IN I3 seconds. In 1888 Harvard again
beat Yale by / m, 10 seconds. The closest
race was in 1882, when Harvard beat Yale
by 3seconds
1t is probable that the first time oul
Washington clubs meet will be on August
II and -, at the national regatta at Boston
the Potomac regatta before that time
Though the Washingtons will not hav,
been organized quite three months by
July !, the date of the Fredericksburg re
gatta, the Rappahannock Club is anxious
for them TO participate, and have guaran
teed them that they shall row.
WORCESTER, Mass, June 13.-Five crews
are entered for the annual regatta of the
intercollegiate Rowing Association, Il
take place on Lake Quinsigamond July 4
namely: University Of Pennsylvania
which won last year; Cornell, Columbia
Brown and Bowdoin. The first three viii
meet June 10 in the annual contest for thu
Childs cup at Philadelphia. None of tn,
crews have yet arrived, but Bowdoin il
and a-half straight away for the colleg
championship in fours, with colors anC
individual prizes.
Smuggling.
The much talked of four-round glow
contest between Jack Burke and the re
nowned bean.eater, John l.. Sullivan
comes off to-day at the baseball park
Chicago. There is not much doubt tina
the Boston boy will come Off victorious
though Burke will make him hustle
Sullivan is not in good condition, no mat
ter what his friends say to the contrary
while Burke is in the very pink of trim.
CHICAGO, June ID. The NepS to-da
says the general impression is that Burk
will not only stand five rounds befor
Sullivan, but will in all probability hes
him. Burke is in excellent trim, havin
trained intelligently and taken care c
himself. With Sullivan out of condition
it is probable that terrific encounter vii
end in the downfall of the champion.
