BATTLE FOR A BOAT HOUSE.
The I.osedale and Active Clubs, of Hobo
ken, at War.

The LsosedaIe and Active Clubs, of Hobo
ken, at War.
An old boat house has caused q jolly
row between the Rosedale and the Active
boat clubs, of Hoboken. and the Dempsey
Brothers, the original owners of the afore-
said boathouse. The Rosedales are
threatened with indictment for larceny in
Bergen county, and a suit for damages in
this county.
The boat house was at Glen Echo, on
the Hudson, just beyond our county line.
THE Dempseys had two houses they de-
sired to get rid of, and several clubs were
anxious to secure the best one, as it could
be bought at O low figure. and is an inn

tiers.
negotiations. There was some misunder-
standing. The former claim they had the
refusal of the best house Il paid the in
stallment and are prepared to pay the
balance when 1T falls due under the agree
ment. The Actives maintain that they
own this particular house, having closed
the bargain with the Dempseys.
The latter, too, have the impression that
the Actives are now the owners.
While the clubs were discussing who
was the legal owner the Rosedales,
believing that possession is nine points in
law. engaged a tug last Tuesday and went
to Glen Echo. There were two boats in
the boat house belonging to the Dempseys.
There was no place to leave the boats IN the
shore to be cared for properly and they
concluded to tow them down with the
house. The chains holding the house
were released at the shore end and the
house, boats and chains were moved to
Hoboken.
The first intimation that the Dempseys
had that the house had been moved was
on Thursday, when they received a letter
from Mr.. John H. Bruning, who, on be-
half Of the Rosedale Club, wrote that
tbey had taken the house and requested
the Dempsey Brothers to remove the
boats at their earliest convenience.
The Dempsey Brothers immediately re-
ferred the letter to their lawyer, Carlton
II Belts, of New York, who sent a reply
demanding the immediate return OF the
two boats and chain to his clients or the
case would be laid before the Bergen
Ssounty Grand Jury. As to the boat
house they would have to answer to the
Active Club, the owners.
10 add to the complications the Actiyes
have retained a lawyer who has notified
the Rosedales that the boat house must

How the Clubs Rank.
The records are as follows:-
Our Athletic Clubs.

The Scottish-American Athletic Club
has 200 members.
The Puritan A. G. had a cross country
run on Thursday night.
'Chappien Moran believes in outdoor
training. He is taking long and sharp
runs. He is kept at a hot pace by the
fleet goers of the Scots.
The n of the Lorillard d. and A.
A. indulge in a lively run every clear
night.
Bob billiard, the sprinter, and an ex-
member of the Scots, has returned after
a long stay at Washington, d. c.
Farrell, of the Lorillards, will be seen
in the first rank of jumpers ere long. He
clears the stick at five feet two inches,
and is not yet au fait in the jerk and turn,
as his hip, not his feet, strikes the bar.
When the Scots get their grounds they
will become as famous for producing
sprinters, long distance runners, walkers
and jumpers as they ara for developing
champion boxers.
1t is surprising that the Jersey City
Athletic Club does not take more interest
in field sports. Their club name seems to
be q misnomer. Come, turn out your
athletes. You have ample means and IN
abundance of talent.
The Sylvia A. q. expects TO enter some
good unners in the cross country compe-
titions.

Fast Overland Freightine.

The Orangevale Association has recently
made contract with the Huntingdon
Hopkins Company for making eight miles
of water-pipe to irrigate their colony. For
the first mile the pipe will be 26 inches in
diameter, then for mile and halt %
inches, then mile of eighteen-inch diam
eter. The cross services will be chiefly six
and eight inches in diameter. Such large
pipes will bring an immense body of water
to the colony, more than sufficient TO irri-
gate every foot of their lands. These pipes
will be nade of heavy iron, and double
riveted. then thoroughly coated with So
luton OF boiling tar and asphaltum, which
will make the pipes impervious to rust.
As it is desirable to have this pipe made
and laid in the ground in time to get the
benefit of this seasons irrigation. the con-
tractors telegraphed to Pittsburg for the
iron (over 200 tons), and the cars are row
being received in Sacramento ten to twelve
DAYS after they are started from Pittsburg.
This is possibly the quickest time made by
any freight coming to California.

LOYAL MILITIAMEN.
They Don't Believe in British Flags at a
Washington inaugural.

NEW YORK, April 29th.-A number of militia
men from Pittburg, who were sightseeing this
morning, were attracted as they were going
along Worth street by large British flag float
ing from shop-window above an American
flag of smaller dimensions.
Let's take it down or make them do il, ~
said one. They then commecced to call 10 the
people in the house.
Soon crowd was collected and they yelled
and hooted at the English flag and demanded it
be taken down.
sergeant in command of the soldiers re-
quested the proprietor to remove the flag, or at
least to place it below the Stars and Stripes.
This the proprietor seemed willing to do
when he saw the flag was obnoxious to his
neighbors, but his wife refused to allow them
to touch it.
The soldiers then drew their knives, and
soon had the obnoxious flag on the ground
without the slightest resistance being offered.
As the flag came down the crowd cheered.
Further down the street was another British
flag above an American flag, placed there by a
firm who were English people. AS soon as the
soldiers requested that the flag be taken down
they complied gracefully.
A member OF The firm stated that they had
flung the flag to the breeze simply as decora-
lion, and had no idea 1t would be offensive to
anyone. AS the soldiers passed on toward
Broadway and disappeared from SIGHT they were
rOundly cheereu.
