Much excitement exists among the
members of The Virginia Boat Club Of
this city over the regatta that is TO be
held at Warwick Park on the 18th of July
next. The club expects - have some
very fine races at that time, among which
will be Gig races, two single sculls, one
double scull, and other races that will be
very amusing 10 the spectators.
Interest is running high over the gig
races. The crews are very evenly
matched, especially the lightweight
crews. Both are doing all in their power
10 win, and no one can tell who will be
successful, as there is scracely any differ
ence between them. Ii IS very amusing
to see how hard the men are working, and
the excitement they feel as TO the result.
The regatta promises to be exceedingly
interesting and great success.

Exuiting Over the Ksiser's Death

MONTREAL, June 16-Much excite.
ment is caused here by the manner in
which La Pdtrte gloats over the death of
Emperor Frederick. The following are
extracts from its editorial of yesterday
afternoon:
"The career Of Frederick III was too
short to secure him place in history,
but it was long enough to leave an in
effacable scar upon the hearts of the peo.
pie of Alsace and Lorraine. That i'm
perial phantom which has just been wiped
out by sickness, after having been tor
tured by the scalpels of twenty surgeons,
still found in himself enough hatred for
the vanquished, enough of the furor teu.

tins Of oppression.

STATE HOSPITAL WORK.

Annual Meeting of the Directors of the
 General Hospital Society-EIeetiOn of
 New Directors or the Pru-
 dentlal Commiitee-The Falling O6
 in the Number or Patients-Cost of
 Supporting Patients Greater.
 The annual meeting of the directors of the State hospital was held yesterday afternoon at o'clock at the hospital. General s. E. Merwin presided. The following directors were present: Thomas Hooker, Dr. w. H. Carmalt, Eli Whitney, jr., Dr. Francis Ba- con, Daniel c. Eaton, W. L. Bradley, E. H. Jenkins, H, W. Farnam, Dr. Moses c. White, Dr. F. E. Beckwith, Dr. T. H. Bishop, secretary, and General s. E. Mer- win.
 The reports of the prudential committed was read and it was adopted as the directors | report to the society. In substance it is as I follows:
 .'The total number of patients treated l during the year has been $40, a falling off ol \ 57 from last year. The daily average has been 104, as against 113 5-16 last year. The diminution has been almost entirely in the class of soldier patients, which 1t has beer | the policy of the soldiers hospital board tc ! send to the Soldiers home when it has been possible to do so. In 1SS6 141 or th1s class were treated at the hospital; this year but S4 have been treated, decrease of 63, or six teen less than the total decrease.
 "Seven hundred and thirty new patients coming from eighty-sight different towns in the State, 13 of them being from other States or countries, were admitted; 360 of them being residents of this town. The average stay of each patient has been 4-10 weeks as against 6-1e last year. The re- ceipts from patients and other current ser vices, not investments or charitable dona- tions, were $32, 2,017.79. The current ex-
 pense amounted to $40, ,869. IS, being an ex-
 cess of expenditures over receipts of $9, ,854.-
 39. In 1886 the corresponding items were:
 $35, ,827.77 earnings and $41, ,539. CT expenses. Deficit, $6,211.90. The increased deficit this year, $2,642.49. By comparing these two years we find the expenses this year
 have been nearly $700 less, the falling off in earnings being $3. .312.98.
 "The average weekly cost of supporting
 each patient has been $7.40 6-10; the daily cest of food per inmate, 2S 7-10 cents.
 comparison for @ number of years shows that
 this year the weekly cost has been consiasrs-
 ply greater than ever before, as the following table shows:

NOT TO pIsRANp.

That is What the Central Division of
 the Pole League Deeides-WOreester
 Likely 10 be Admitted-Four Teams
 Then i'm tho Central DivisfOn-NeTvs
 in General.
 The Central polo league will not disband as at first expected. The directors held a meeting on Wednesday, when Manager Rich ardson's resignation from the league was not accepted. He was expelled from the division for uble-dealing. duplicity, and for con duct unbscoming a gentleman in having played his team two games after it had be- come the property of the Hartford company. It was resolved that the clubs of that league never play with any club with which Mir. Richardson shall be connected. It was stated that he said two weeks ago that he proposed to stay in the league no matter what came, and that he would not release a single player till he had notified the other | managers. They claim he did not keep his word At this meeting the managers pitched | into Manager Richardson, probably because | he wasn't present, and nothing was too mean \ to say of him. A committee was appointed
 to consider the application of Worcester.
 By this action no more polo players from Massachusetts will come to Connecticut. The New Ravens will go on just as they are, e,prob | ably The New Bedfords will not go to
 Bridgeport, for Manager Bancroft has re- I fused, as the Central league is not to dis
 band What will be done with the old Hart ford players has not been decided on.
 "I want to have our position in this mat ter fully understood, said one of the trans. ferred Lynn players Tuesday. ''In the first place we didn't want to go; in fact, we wouldn't hear of the proposition. But when Col. Richardson offered each of us big
 bonus to go, and told us that if we didn't go the New Bedford players would, we accepted
 the offer. Manager Clough promised us an | increase of salary and said that if we won the championship we could get s1, 1000 or | anything else we wanted. Mccarthy, Sulli- van and Smith agreed to go to Hartford for
 bonus of $200 eaeh and an increase in sala- ", while Cotter and Seely got even more | money than this. Col. Richardson received | $3, 500 in consideration of our release"
