NEW LONDON, Conn, June 81
As usual, great thrOngs Of people
congregated today to see the annual
four-mile, stralghtaway, eight-Oared
shell race between the Yale and
Harvard crews. Yale won by three
and n half lengths in 2l:29; Har-
ward 2l:40. This is Yale's fifth sue
cessive victory, and the record now
stands, in four-mile races: Yale, 9;
Harvard, q.
For three miles the race was one
Of the finest struggles ever seen on
the Thames course. At no time in
that distance WIS either crew able
10 get a decisive lead, and during
that time Harvard had a slight lead
twice. Yale, however, by grand
squirting aud staying qualities,
quickly recovered her first position
10y a small margin.
After passing the third mile flag
harvard's stroke seemed 20 lose some
of its effectiveness, which, with n
perceptible roll to the shell and three
or four swerves by the cockswain,
caused the Harvard boat 10 drop
slowly but surely astern. Yale fin
ished strong. keeping up their long,
steady swing with almost faultless
precision, crossing the line and rest
ing ON their oars without the slight
est sign Of distress, while in the Har-
ward boat at least three men clearly
showed the effects of their determin-
ed efforts.
The Columbia-Harvard freshmen
race was rowed in the dark and
proved IA rather unsatisfactory affair.
The race was two miles and the ref
cree gave it to Columbia by half n
length, their time being 1O:5i. In
the last half mile, 1t Is stated, a
steamer ran across the bow Of the
Harvard boat 50 near as to interfere
with their work.

CLASSICAL QUOTATIONS.
NOWADAYS THEY ABE USED
NEITHER IN SPEECH NOR
IN PRIVATE.

"CIassical quotation" said DR..
johnson, sis the parole OF literary
men all over the world" Loru
Chesterfield told his son to cultivate
the classics that he might shine IN
elegant society. But johnson Is
only n study now and Chesterfield
Is a synonym for snob. They and
the classics are practically played
out.
Who ever hears n classical quo
tation IN polite conversation now?
The man who would attempt IL
would be guyed in n quiet way, or
else his remark would cause vacant
smile. a classical quotation seldom
appears In a newspaper, and almost
as seldom in magazine. lit does
occur in the latter its sense is likely
10 be given in a foot note. These
quotations have likewise disappear
ed at the beginning Of chapters in
novels, and they are almost totally
banished from the main text. They
are rarely heard in speeches in
Congress, whereas fifty or even
twenty-five years ago they were
frequent enough.
Time was when speeches in the
English Commons bristled with the
gems Of the ancient WORTHLESS, and
even there, that stronghold Of con-
servatism, they have fallen into
disuse. The reason for the decline
Of the fine art Of classical quotation
is probably to be found in the
strengthening Of English and the
development Of the language to the
point Of expressing almost every
thing that is expressible.-N. Louis

A Curious Plant Fifty Named.

The Sioux Indians tell a strange
story about an historic locality.
They say that on the hillOck where
Custer fell now grows n plant never
seen there befOre-a curious plant
with tall, slender leaves, curved In
the exact form Of n saber, with edges
- sharp as to inflict keen wounds
upOn unwary hands, and those who
pluck it once soon drop il, so strange
ly cold and clammy are its leaves.
IL bears a golden hued, heart-shaped
blossom, and in the center is one
small spor OF brilliant red, like n drop
of blood. The Indians regard il
with superstitious awe. They call
il SCuster's heart" and cannot be
induced TO touch it, claiming that
the blossom crushed in the hand
leaves n blood red stain impossible
to remove.-EI.

DoND1N. I11~ 9T.-The interna-
uonal glove nsnI between George
Dixon (colored). bantam-weight
champion Of America, and Y. Wal
lace, bantam champion Of England,
took place at the Pelican Club this
evening. The match was for the ban
tam-weight championship Of the
world and q purse of $500. Wal
lace retired after the nineteenth
round and Dixon was declared win
ner.
Wallace LED Off in the first round,
appearing to have considerable adj
vantage. Intense interest was mani
Tested and he was loudly cheered
by his friends and received many
signs Of encouragement. In the
second he adopted the bucking tao
ties, but the claims Of foul were not
allowed.
In the third round Wallace APP
peared tagged and Dixon came 10
the front 20 great advantage. In the
succeeding rounds the American
forced the fighting, and from this
up TO the tenth there was no display
Of pugilistic skill, but in the tenth
Wallace received a Touchdown blow
and blood flowed from him pretty
freely. He came to time, however,
promptly at the call, though his
weakness was plainly apparent.
In each succeeding round up 10
the eighteenth Dixon fought the
Englishman all around the ring.
At the next call Wallace reached
his corner, but had been 30 badly
used up that he was obliged 10 give
up the fight.

Judge Henry 4. Childs, who has

National Election Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 81 The
Northern Democratic members OF
the House have prepared formal
protest against the National Flee
ton bill, which is termed IAN ex-
traOrdinary, dangerous and revOlu-
tiOnary measure now proposed 10y

The protest says: IL the power

this consolidation Of government,
destruction OF popular rights and
the very foundation Of American

The issue is: Shall a political party

WASHINGTON, June -. - Con-
sideration Of the Election bill was
resumed.
Smyser (Ohiol said the cry Of the
South was that it wanted to be left
alone to work out its own destiny.
That had been tried for fifteen years,
and ne protested against its seeking
to work out the salvation Of the
North on the same line. What the
South wanted WIS to be let alone to
appropriate the negrO's rights, and
to do with the black man AZ it
blessed. He protested against that.
Vaux (Pa. said the bill virtually
overturned the constitution and
destroyed our form Of government.
This bill made slaves Of men to
federal Office holders. Our fore
fathers brought on a revolutionary
war aud separated from Great
Britain because they did not believe
in taxation without representation.
He warned Congress that the time
might come when legislation de-
priving the people If representation
would drive them to another revolt
for the same principles. Loud DEM
ocratic applause.)
Kennedy (OhiOl said it was idle
10 say the majority had ruled in
this country, and the fact was "A
splendid illustration Of the patience
and fOrbearance of the people, when
it was considered that the ballot box
had been trampled under foot for
the purpose Of defeating the major
ity Of the people in the exercise Of
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
All pretense that Grover Cleveland
was elected by the majority was
subject to the farther statement that
nj the election a large number Of
qualified voters who would cast
their votes against him were not
permitted to do so. The Constitu-
ton was mandatory in requiring a
reduction in the representation Of
States which permitted the rights
of citizens to vote 10 be unlawfully
abridged. When the appOrtiOn-
ment was made under the new
census, 1t was the duty Of Congress
to make this reduction in the case
of these Southern States if they
persisted in depriving their citizens
Of the right Of suffrage. If the
ignorant black man were unworthy
TO exercise the right Of suffrage, let
him be stricken from the list enti-
tied to representation, and with him
let the ignorant white man he
stricken from the list also. Ii ignO-
rance was the rock OF danger, let

cation.
