dialect of the cowmen, and such commands

ball will furnish amusement enough for one
night, and their majesties will seek repose
with a very vivid reminder OF Uta gal
lantry buzzing through their royal ears.
Next morning the cowboys will have
another innings. when they will give an
exhibition of lasso practice on Tabernacle
square, on Washington avenue. Each
cowboy will ride his broncho as ne pleases
and show how he can fling and twirl his
leather, and perform all sorts of impossible
evolutions on horseback. The event of the
second day, however, will be the tourna-
ment. Knights in armor will compete, in
the ancient style, for the honor
of naming a queen OF the tourney.
The grounds are situated near
the Weber and will accommodate
many.thousandso Of spectators, besides afford
ing ample room for the riders. For weeks
past many horsemen have been practicing
at the different feats to be attempted, and it
IS fairly probable that Knights Blackmen,
! Urahatn, Manlon, carver, WestoVer, Pal-
mer, Obrey and Richardson will ride off
with the honors of the day. They are all
under the command of Sir Knight Robert
Armstrong. For the tiltlng there are three
arches, under which the knights
ride successfully, catching on their
lances the rings suspended from the
arches as they pass. These rings are about
ten feet from the ground, and it needs an
expert to take all three ct gallJp. Some
of the knights will be in full chain armor,
which they will depoit at the feet of the
fair danes when the contest is over. The
maiden who is chosen as queen of the
tournament will be crowned at the tourna-
ment ball, which takes place in the evening
at the palace, and at which all are to be in
full dress

Ever since the defeat of the Atalantas last
March by the Yales, the stock of the blues
had been booming everywhere, except
among the staunch friends of Harvard, who
claimed that victory was within the reach
of the crimson this year. The Harvard
Varsity crew was composed of fine, muscular
men, and they had been rowing in mag
nificent form as a practice crew. They
had followed the example set by Yale, and
instead of pulling the stroke to which
they have been used, were experimenting
with one that resembles in many points the
famous sweep that Bob Cook taught the
Yale men when he became their captain
The Harvard practice was very severe. and
this year it had not been relaxed. The
crew, with their substitutes, had spent
several hours daily on the machines in
their gymnasium, alternating with work at
light chest-weights and runs out-of-doors.
They had gone over the two-mile course
on the Charles river hundreds of times in
the course of their training.
Harvard's crew were as follows:
