vard) George A. Adee (Yale). The crews
quickly took their positions, and were
ready for the final ordeal The excitement
was then intense. The crowd Of specta.
tors stood in breathless silence watching
the crews. E7
Slowly and deliberately the referee
cautioned the men. Then there was a few
seconds wait. The seconds seemed like an
age. "Gon suddenly sounded from the

A Busy Day on Sunday at the Mills For
the Police.

A Busy Day on Sunday at the Mills For
the Police.
Captain Farrier and sixteen tired police
men returned at nine O'Clock today from
Kearney. The Captain said they only
came back for clean clothing and bath.
They returned at two o'clock this after
noon. The men all said the Clark COM
pany was taking gooo care of them; that
they had plenty Of food Of an excellent
quality and all they wanted to smoke
aud drink. The police are quartered in
the hose house attached TO the mill.
Trouble is anticipated tonight when
the factory hands in Newark quit work.
Sunday was a particularly busy day, al
though no riot took place. One drunken
fellow insisted on annoying Policeman
Luyster and he insisted just long enough
to get Luyster's night stick on his head.
Then he stopped, and when able he went
away. Half an hour later gang Of a
dozen men and the fellow that Luyster
had clubbed came up TO the policeman.
They first abused him roundly and
then threatened him. Luyster let his
nightstick come into action again with
good effect. Sergeant McGinness noticed
the fight. and with eight men he rushed
to the assistance Of Luyster They drove
the rioters away with sore heads.
The most turbulent of the rioters have
for several days made a liquor saloon
near the mill headquarters. Yesterday
Captain Farrier told the proprietor if he
allowed these men in it he would close
the place. It had good effect and kept
many from getting drunk.
Yesterday afternoon Governor Albeit
and President teeney, of the Police Board,
held a conference at Police Headquarters
in this city. This resulted in Inspector
Smith, Captain Kell. and eighteen police
men going to Kearney i3 re-enforce the

strip Of land owned BY H. X. Thurber

price the Freeholders agreed 70 pay. Mr..
Schinzel was not present at the examina-
tion. but he will be later, for Ex-Judge
McGrath insisted on cross-examin-
ing him regarding the affidavit.
Mr. McGrath declared he would
prove by several witness that until a very
brief time before the contract TO purchase
the land was entered into by the county,
the ex-director Of the Board Of Freehold
ers was in favor Of the acquisition Of the
land.
The first witness called was Frank Il.
Earle, civil engineer. he was confronted
by large number Of maps and asked his
opinion as an expert as to the land. its
value, height, the quality Of the stone on
II, and many other similar
questions. Mr.. Earle declined to 60
on record by guess work and
asked for time 70 make an examination
OF either the property or the maps.
This time was allowed the witness, who
will continue his testimony at another
hearing. At one O'Clock the hearing ad-
iourned until three o'clock

PRINCETON, Feb. 16. 1s91.-The collec-
tion of pottery and porcelain presented 10
Princeton College. for the reception Of
which the new art building was erected.
is now being unpacked and placed on the
shelves and it is expected that the build
ing will be ready for visitors in the near
future. The gift was presented to the
college by Professor w. c. Prime, of New
York, as a memorial Of his wife, Mrs
Mary Trumbun Prime.
The collection was made not with a
view of gathering handsome things, but
to illustrate the history of art in its
growth and development from the early
ages, and as such is for the college a very
valuable acquisition. Among the classes
of art 1t is intended to show are Egyptian
potteries and enamels, which illustrate
the oldest known uses of enamel on pot
terry and stone.
The oldest piece in the collection to
which any date can be assigned is a very
small cylinder Of steatite obtained at
Thebes. 1t is covered with a greenish
enamel, which bears the cartouch Of
Amumn He Ill, who was Pharoah Of
the twenty-hrst dynasty, about 200 b.
c. This is the Moeris of ancient litera-
ture. The Ph@nician and Archaic Greek
period of art is represented by several
carved Doric and Corinthian vases.
The collection contains Saracenic pot
teries representing the continuation OF
art in Asia during the Middle Ages and
down to the sixteenth century. Il also
contains specimens of the Italian sculD-
tor Luca Della Robbia, vino introduced
the art of enamelling into Italy, and also
specimens of early Nuremburg enamels,
showing how art came into Europe by the
way Of North Germany. The history OF
art as it spread through the different Eu-
ropeon countries is well illustrated bY
different specimens.
1t contains large collection of the
Delft potteries of Holland. and coarse,
rude pots, strictly stone wares, which
were the first productions OF the English
people. Porcelain manufacture is repre-
sented by Chinese productions, and also
many pieces Of Bottcher's work. from red
clay crucible pots up to pure white Dres.
den china. illustrating the most interest
ing episode in porcelain manufacture in
Europe.
The collection contains a large number
of Sevres specimens. In addition to those
mentioned there are many other col
lectlons, among which are specimens
from Naples, Venice, Marseilles. also
from Worcester and Chelsea in England
and from North African and Pernoiar
potteries. The entire collection COM
prises between twenty and thirty thou
sand specimens.
