4 NEW SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY.
j. R. BARTLETTs PLAN TO DRAW UPON THE
PASSAIC WATERSHED.

John r. Bartlctts plans for supplying New-York
with water Independently of the CrotOn system, by
bringing 1t from the Passaic New-Jersey) watershed
and delivering It through a tunnel under the Hudson
River into the lower part Of the city, have been pre-
pared and illustrated ready for presentation TO the
Sinking Fund Commissioners, who, according to the
opinion Of Clarence A. Seward, concurTed in by the
late ex-senator Conkling have ample and full powers
to contract and pay for such a supply Of water as
may be needed by the city, without further legislation
The book containing these plans consists Of 100
handsomely printed 9mo pages, illustrated with an
outline map Of the Croton and Passao watersheds; a
profile map of pipelines and tunnels from the Great
Notch Reservoir in the Orange Mountains TO the cities
Of New-York and Brooklyn; biriseye view Of North
western New-Jersey and Of Orange and Rockland
Counties in New-York; a large map Of fifty miles
radius showing those portions Of New-York and New
Jersey from which the cys water supply may be OBJ

Rivers Macopin, Split Rock. Greenwood. Mecanesi
and Hopaicong Lakes. The Hudson River tunnel is
also presented in profile and by sectional views in its
various stages Of construction.
Besides lower Ncw-York it Is the intention to sup
ply the cities Of Paterson, Passac, Newark, Jersey
City and Hoboken. The quantity of water which can
be delivered in New-York is estimated at 50O00,000
gallons daily. The feasibility Of this great project Is
set forth in an address by Mr.. Bartlett delivered be-
fore the New-York Board of Fire Underwriters and the
managers Of the Produce Exchange and by report Of
Clemens Herschel and Alphone Fteey, civil engineers
and Captain T. W. Symons, Of the United States Corps
of Engineers The legal standing, so far as New
York is concerned Is given in the opinion Of Mr.
Seward referred to- while the legality Of the scheme in
the light Of New-Jersey jurisprudence is maintained

The suspense which a couple Of thousand OF young
college men at Harvard and Princeton have been en-
during for several weeks will be ended at about D
o'clock this afternoon It will then be known which
college the better football team. and from records
made, chats with football men, rumors and bets, IL
seems as IL O'Clock Itself is the only source Of posi-
tive information as to the winner. 1t seems to be
generally agreed, however, that tho game will be
extremely closely contested. good Judge OF foot
ball teams, who however, has leaning toward the
Princeton men, declares that the chances ten 10

played in the tigers den. Harvard men, how
ever, talk mysteriously about the teams foxy work
in lying low and at the time they take great
comfort in demonstrating to their Princeton friends
that Harvard can play tic game and yet hold the
championship over Princeton
1t is currently reported that there is good feeling
between the two elevens. Harvard and Princeton
sincerely hope that this report is true. The
future Of the game depends much on how this game is
played This is of vastly Importance than which
college wins. The alumni here say that 1t is pity
that miserable squabble between two non-repre-
sentative baseball mines should involve both colleges
Eugene Richards Yale, 95, is TO be the umpire, and
as he is an excellent man for the place, sluggnS'
will quickly II any breaks out in the rush line.
The game will be called at Q 80 p m. The alumni
here urge the players be prompt Walter C. Camp,
Yale 80 be the referee, and II is not likely that
his decisions will be disputed. The special train
leaves Cortlandt-st ferry at 10 80 p H., returning
from Princeton at 80 p M, instead Of 80, as was
stated. No arrangements have been made to serve
luncheon at Princeton The time will be too short
for luncheon for those who go the special train.

Sir The Tribune and other leading Republican

Of its most popular officers, Captains Coleman and
Cox, aided by Private 2. J. Howe.
These gentlemen for two months prior to the cleo
ton abandoned their business and devoted their whole
time to the task OF educating the masses; and this
too. without any thought of reward, as the remark
OF Captain Cox would indicate when he said to the
writer: captain Coleman, I know, would accept
no office, and as for myself and Mr. Howe, the busy
hum Of machinery in respective factories and the
increased orders for goods amply reward US for our
