FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
The Bihicu1ty Of . Well AnoWn Ne" Haven Firm.

Haven Firm.
 Yesterday nofnihs Hemingway & Brad ley, the State street wholesale soda nanu- lecturers and bottlers, made voluntary as- signment for the benefit of their creditors The news of their failure caused general surprise among the business men of the city, and is much regretted by their many friends. Lawyer Hobart L. Hotchkiss, attorney fer BaIentine & Co.,, the lager beer brewers or Newark, New Jersey, who have bill agaIii-- the concern for $1, 800, attached the proper ty yesterday, and Constable Higgins took possession of the factory. An agreement could not be made, and yesterday the firm assigned and named Lawyer William P. Niles for trustee. In the Probate court Judge York set the hearing for June 3Oth at 3 o'clock. MT. Bradley attributed the fail ure to bad debts aud the coldness of the sea son. The attachment of Ballentine x Co. was unexpected, and coming at this season of the year greatly cripples them. Business was entirely suspended for time yesterday morning, but during the forenoon the deliv- cry wagons went out as usual. Hemingway 8S Bradley have been in business for nine teen years and have not been embarrassed before. Their business has been the largest of its kind in the State. The proprietors, by their square dealing, have won many friends who sincerely regret the misfortune of the firm. A gentleman offered MT. Brad ley loan of $500 night before last, and yes terday morning another gentleman offered him loan of $1 1000 to cover the difficulty. Both offers were declined, the firm thinking it best that all their creditors share alike The liabilities of the firm will amount to about $6,00O, and the assets will bring about half that amount

The senior partner of the firm of Bundy & Stoddard was born among the granite hills of New Hampshire and when young man learned the carriage business in that State. At twenty-one he went to Massachusetts. where he married Miss Fessenden in Vest minister in that State in 1885, After fifteen years at carriage making he left the business while in Southbridge, Mass, and engaged among the first picture makers in the da- guerreotype business, the onlykind of sunlight pictures then made. This was over forty years ago and he has followed all the grades and changes up to the present time He moved from Middletown to New Haven nearly twenty-five years ago and is well and by his genial and social qualities has made many friends who are disappointed that owing to the sickness of Mrs. B. no gathering could be had to celebrate the event of the anniversary of their golden wedding. MT. Bundy is an Odd Fellow of over twenty five years and has received the highest hon ors the order can bestow He also belonos to the Masonic bodies in this city and has re- ceived all the degrees in the order up to the thirty-seoond
 He is also Scharter member of Rathbone 1Ddge No. 1, K. of P the first one oroanizad in the New England States. He is also the father of the Odd Fellows Mutual Aid association, the first organized in this coun- try. It was organized in 1867. He was elected president, which office he has held ever since, and from this small beginning hundreds have been formed, and millions of money have been scattered among the poor widows and orphan children All hope they may enjoy his presence among us for many years to come.

THE GREAT RAGE TO-DAY.

New London Filling Up With VfS-
 itors-The Exodus Of Yale Friends
 From This City TO-Day-The Final
 Preparations For The Great And
 Exciting StruggIe-A Lock At The
 Crews.
 The city of New London has been filled with strangers from distant cities and col 1eges for the past two days in anticipation of the greatest college sporting event of the season, which takes place to-day. A large number (probably 1,0Q0,) will go from this city to see the race this morning. The Yale and Harvard University crews fully realize that they are on the verge of a great strug- gle. Both of the crews took their final prac- tice rows last evening and will not row again until the race, which is set for il o'clock The crews take breakfast as usual this morn ing and will lie by until short time before the race, when their coaches will give them the final instructions. These are usually warnings against cheers and yelling and ad- vice on the places to spurt. Yale has the east side of the course. The race will be rowed at top high water. Burgess (No. 9 is back at quarters, but possibly cannot row. Loss of him is quite serious matter for the Harvard crew. Remington, who takes his place, is not so heavy man or so good an oar.
 Dodge, of the Yale crew, proves a fine bow oarsman and is rowing in fine form. Storrs, No. 3, is veteran at rowing and is doing a veterans work. Patten, No. 8, is one of the most muscular and best built men in the Yale boat. Hobbs and Cowles are doing the admirable work of last year. Parrott has been many times on the river and pulls one of the most clever and strongest oars in the boat. Peters, No. 7, is giant oar. Elan ders, the captain of the crew and it's stroke, is pulling his strong oar of last year. He has worked the hardest of any of the crew and is in good condition for the race.
 The great athletic season at Harvard could not be closed better than by the winning of the race at New London. Captain Storrow says that the stroke of the Harvard crew is a peculiar one, and that it is the peculiarity of the stroke that makes people think that it is rapid one. There is no pause at either end of it, the men being continuously in motion. Captain Storrow has had more ex- perience than any of ths crew. The table of weights and arrangement of the crews is as follows:
Morning journal and courier., 1885-06-26

Captain Bob Cook thinks that the princi- pie of the Yale stroke is the correct one and is sure to win if the boys thoroughly master it. He says that the crew, though rowing the same stroke as last year, are not doing it quite so we'll owing to the limited time he has coached them. He is sure that Yale will 'pTove the winner of the race, relying on the strength of his crew and his knowledge of their capacity for the race. It is expected that Harvard will try to row Yale down with in the first mile.
 It is reported that yesterday afternoon Yale discovered that the name of Penrose, who is stroke of the Harvard crew, is not on the catalogue and that he is not candidate for degree there. He was dropped from the class in 1884. Yale entered a protest with Captain Storrow yesterday afternoon and will not be satisfied without an explana- ton. Captain Storrow said that Penrose was connected with the col1eoe museun

The Winchester school.

This evening the Board of Education will settle, probably, the important question whether they will appoint teacher for the Winchester school from their available and competent New Haven candidates, or will go out of town for one.
 Yesterdays Register says: Much feeling is already manifested among parents and tax payers over the discussion of Supt. Duttons management of three members of the Board in this regard. He has picked out MT. Hurd, of Bridgeport, and signifed to the members that he wants him elected. On the other hand, many friends of education say that such an appointment would be rank injus- tice to Principal Loomis, the faithful teacher in the ungraded Whiting street school, who
 is every way competent to fill the position and whose past services should be recognized by the Board. They say that the selection of MT. Hurd is in accordance with the long cherished scheme of Superintendent Dutton to exclude everybody from positions as teachers who are not pronounced in their fealty to Superintendent Dutton, and that if this Bridgeport man should be imported here he would be expected to be useful in aiding the Dutton ticket for members of the Board at the next election.
 To-day some of the members of the Board have been interviewed in a disinterested spirit, and it has been disclosed that the canvass on behalf of Superintendent Dut- tons man has been pretty thorough The friends of Mir. Loomis rely upon the circum- stance that he is already in New Haven and has exceedingly good record as teacher
