THE RACE TO-DAY.

The Blue and the Cr1mson-AGairs ON
tho Banks of the Thames.
New LONDON, June 2S.-Blue and Crimson
waves on the banks Of the Thames, and Har-
ward carries her colors as proudly as Yale.
The high spirits of both colleges are afoot
and walk with confidence through the city IS
streets. The hotel lobbies are filed with
men who hold their crisp bank bills in their
fists and will not rest in peace until they
have piled them in the balance against the
ready dusats of their rivals. Upon the thor
oughfares the happy college boys walk with
locked arms and the coming trains bring
loads of heshy old alumni, flushed with the
memory of younger days and hot with the
wine of commencement. Throngs Of pretty
school girls fresh from the bread and butter
of boarding school and filed with the classic
lore which all 80 gladly forget for little bit
of every day common sense help to swell the
many holiday makers and add an innocent
touch of life to the scene.
The question of the course, which hes trou-
bled the crews for about week, was settled
at q conference yesterday afternoon, Messrs.
Cook and Adee of Yale and Watson and Pea
body of Harvard being present. It was agreed
to adhere to the old course with only the
condition of Winthrop's Point, virtually a
victory of negotiation for Harvard, as the
course recommended by Mr.. Cook is aban-
doned. Two hundred and fifty feet will be
added to the other end of the course and the
same amount will be taken off the finish end
a change which will be to the advantage of
the spectators on the observation train, as
they win thereby gain a better view of the
crews both at the start aud finish.
Harvard seems to have great favor with
the old salts about Gales Ferry. The brooks
running into the Thames are swollen and the
current runs rapidly. This will cause quick
time to be made tomorrow. Everybody is
ready and waiting for the great contest, which
will be rowed down stream at o'clock in
the afternoon. For viewing the race there
will be an observation train, the steamers City
of Worcester and Block Island, and the
steamer Margaret, official boat that viii
follow the crews from start to finish. Be-
sides these are great numbers of boats from
places along the shore and elsewhere that
will bear excursionists. The Yale crew went
over two mile course yesterday in 10 min-
utes, seconds, Wind and tide were in their
favor. Harvard makes short pulls and CAM
not be seen long enough to time. The race
promises to be q sharp one b,

to the Man of DesEiny.
| COLUMBUS, June 2S.-The Democratic ma
tional notification committee appointed at the
| ST. Louis convention to officially notify Hon.
Allen g. Thurman of his nomination for the
vice presidency arrived here at 9 o'clock this
morning by special train. There were forty
one in the party, including several members
Of the National committee. At O'Clock the
committee, escorted by reception commit
tee, were driven to the judges residence and
performed their official duty. The committee
was received in the parlors of the Thurman
residence. Chairman Collins briefly stated
the object of the call when Charles D. Ja-
cobs, mayor of Louisville, KY, read the for
NAL letter of notification. 1t was signed by
all the members of the committee. Address
ing Judge Thurman he said:
You embrace the highest type Of American citi-
zenship and matter what the crisis might be the
government would be safe in your hands
In reply Judge Thurman thanked the COM
mission for their courtesy. He was profound
4 ~ grateful for the nomination because it was
unsought and undesired; not that he under
estimated the distinction, but he had ceased
to be ambitious for public honers The
country is honestly governed and the inter-
ests of the country require Cleveland's re-
election, and the hope that he might contrib
ute to this result had its influence in induc-
ing him TO accept. Judge Thurman express
ed himself as being in favor of reducing taxa
ton SO that surplus would not accumulate
in the treasury, which he believed to be a
great danger to the institutions of the coun-
try. Judge Thurman was frequently ap-
plauded. An informal reception followed
in which Mrs. Thurman participated. The
committee left for Washington at o'clock

Of prima facie evidence that the Republicans
were in favor of free rum.
Mr.. Owen, of Indiana, suggested that the
beer was intended for visiting Democrats,
but Mr.. SpinoIa denied that Democrats went
to such places.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, thought that the gen.
tleman from Texas did not mean to believe
when he said that the Republican party was
for free whisky because the gentleman knew
there would not be enough Democrats left
to make up an electoral ticket in half of
the States if they had confidence in his
statement. The gentleman if he had read
the Chicago platform knew that his statement
was one of those assertions which were
worthy the dignity of the stump and not of
the chairman of the committee on ways and
means of the House of Representatives.
After some further discussion Mr.. Bakers
motion was defeated and the committee
rose 7z
On motion Of Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylva-
mia, joint resolution was passed extending
for thirty days from June 80 the provisions
of existing appropriation laws in case the
pending appropriation bills are not passed
before the end of the fiscal year.
Recurring again to the text of the tariff
bill, Mr.. Mills presented committee amend
ments placing on the free list German look
ing glass; plates blown and silvered, and
striking out plums and prunes, which were
adopted.
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, moved to
strike out chicory root, acorns and dandelion
root, calling them frauds inearnate. He
said they were used to adulterate coffee and
their importation should not be encouraged
as proposed by the bill. The motion was de-
feated, as was one made by Mr.. Vandever, of
California, to strike out cocoa, and another
presented by Mr.. McKenna, of California, to
strike out figs.
Mr.. Bynum, of Indiana, moved to strike
out pulp for paper makers use.
Mr. Reed ironically asked, "What has
changed your mind on thatW but received no
answer, and the amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Farquhar, of New York, offered an
amendment striking out books and PAM
ph1ets printed in other language than Eng
lish.
Mr.. Mills objected on the ground that the
item had been passed and there was a little
spat between himself and Mr.. Reed, who held
that the gentleman from New York had at
tempted to present his amendment in time.
The chairman recognized Mr.. Farquhar,
who protested in the name of the American
printer and publisher against the admission
of these books and pamphlets. He said that
the international copyright bill was on the
calendar and submitted that the House was
acting too hastily.
After brief discussion Mr.. Farquhar's
amendment was lost.
Various amendments were agreed to strik-
Ing from the free list hatters' furs not on thes
skin and linseed or fax seed, marble of all'
kinds in block, rough and squared and plas'
ter Of paris, ground or calcined.
The committee then rose. The conference
report On the consular and diplomatic bill
was taken up and the House adjourned.
