THE ROCK CREEK PARK.
The ConstitutIonaIity Of the Act of Congress
Questioned.

Questioned.
Yesterday was the return day in the case Of
the Rock Greek Park for the parties interested

appointed for the condemnation of the ground
required. the owners Of which had not agreed
with the commission to the price. There
were a large plumber of interested parties in
the Court in General Term. Messrs. Jere Viii
son. T. A Lambert. W. Stone Albert and others
representing the respondents. and District At
torney Cole and Assistant District Attorney
Taggart for the commission. The latter pre-
sented the petition for the appointment of ap-
praisers-
PETITIONS To DISMISS THE MOTION.
Petitions to dismiss the motion were filed on
behalf Of the following: A F. Matthews. Ann
Hayes. Henrietta Copethwaite. ". F. Eaton.
Eliza b. Barton, F. d. Shoemaker, s VI. Jones,
John Saul, Vim. Watson. L. b. Shoemaker ex-
ecutOrs of l.. p. Shoemaker. D. L. Forest. A.
BurgdOrf, Mary Van Rlswick ct al, W. X. Riley.
Catharlne Freas ct al, and about forty others
The petitioners (respOndents) claim that the
act Of September %, 1880. Is unconstitutional.
First. Because Chief Engineer Casey and Dis
trict Commissioner Robert presume to act on
the commission by authority OF Congress and
not by appointment OF the President OF the
United States or any court or executive officer
gress has IN the act devolved judicial fune-
ton upon the President IN the adjudication of
awards. Third Because the law depriyes the
owners of the land of their right to have jury
determine its value. Fourth. Because in the
act Congress has assumed to control the action
of the commissioners designated to appraise
the value of the property TO be condemned. and
to restrict the rights of the respondents by
limiting the amount which shall be al
lowed in the aggregate for the pay
ment of property embraced within the
limits designated as public park.
Fifth. Because Congress has undertaken to
acquire the property within the prescribed
limits of the proposed Rock Greek Park with
out the consent of the owners and upon com
PensatlOn limited to fixed sum tai 200 .OOOl,
regardless altogether of the adequacy of this
sum to be Just compensation therefor. Sixth.
Because Congress attempts to exercise the right
of eminent domain within the District of Co
luInbla for purpose foreign, manifestly to the
needs and requirements of Its exclusive lcglsla-
ton therein. and in violation of the solemn
compact and agreement made upon the creation
Of said District between the United States and
the state OF Maryland and the citizens of the
coded territory, which Is set forth In the act of

in which it stated that the owners of 500
acres had filed petitions and that it was desired
to have as full a bench as possible.

Pa. Fights at New London.

Pa. Fights at New London.
The annual gathering of the college clans on
the Thames takes place this week. Many dele
gates are already at New London.
A Lew London special to the Philadelphia
Press says: The two Columbia crews. headed
by their coach. Applegate of sc. took up their
quarters at Gales Ferry in Capt. Christopher
Browns big square white mansion, which stands
on the lofty left bank of the charming river, on
May %. Ever since Columbia has sent a crew
to the Thames the blue and white colors have
futtered from the same flagstaff. Capt. and
Mrs. Brown affeetionately call them sour boys ~
1t isn't much of transition from Columbia's
quarters to those of Yale in the lot adjoining
The crews of the latter university occupy the
same kind of a big, white house, owned and run
by an old sea-dog of the same name. Capt
Latham Brown couldn't be prouder of the dark
blue flag If he had been brought up under it
himself As soon as the crews arrive each year
the old captain squints his eye and looks the
Varsity men over, saying, if he is pleased
Il reckon you'll weather the gale if you crowd
on plenty of SAIL The Varsity crew arrived
last Friday, nearly week earlier than they had
expected.
The Harvard VARSITY crew. with their cook
ing utensils and retlnue of servants, got here
nearly a week ago. They went to Red Top"

an out-of-the-way nook, a mile below where
Yale stays 1t is far the prettiest place on the
river. thick strip of heavy wooded land sep
arates it from the dusty highway and saves
the men much annoyance from visitors. The
freshmen crew don't come with their seniors
owing to their impecunious condition. They
got to Capt. Malthorp's farm house, with its
big green lawn spreading from river to road,
on Friday.
Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania
are the only other two colleges that send crews
to the Thames. Cornell quarters its crews at
the Croker House. For this reason they don't
seem so much like crews as the other ones do.
1t takes the charm off the impression one has
of training to crew eating in a hotel din
ing room like any other human being.
The Pennsylyanians are taken care of at
Montville, which is directly across the river
from Gales Ferry. They have to themselves
the whole of one of those immense inns for
which New England was SO famous in the days
of turnpikes and stages a half century ago.
Twice a day the river presents a very ami
mated appearance. All the crews are out in
the morning between 10 and IL. and again in
the afternoon between 6 and 8.

will be followed later on by the Marion with any
subsequent instructions that may be framed.

THE SUBURBAN.
Eighth Running of the Greatest Handicap
for All Ages.

Eighth Running of the Greatest Handicap
for All Ages.
Today the spring meeting of the Coney Island
Jockey Club begins, and from present indica-
tons it promises to surpass all of its predeces-
sors- With the opening day comes the eighth
running of the suburban handicap, a race
which has for some time past been the main
topic among horsemen. Those who are an
nOunced possible starters appear to be 80
evenly matched that the result is no easy mat
ter to foretell.
A conspicuous feature Of the great race to-
day will be the absence of Salvador, who last
year beat everything before him. This also
should add much uncertainty to the race, for.
while his victories last year, especially in the
suburban. were gained by close margins they
were decisive enough. Saturday and Sunday
work of these horses shows these times: Tenny

in race with kingston Tournament. 2.13; Major
Domo, 2.l3; Rey del Rey. public trial. 1885, for
nine furlongs in Saturdays race; English Lady,
all.
Tenney's defeat in the Metropolitan handi-
cap at Morris Park by Tristan has lost the
swayback some few friends, but yet his num-
Der is almost legion, which means that today he
will be red-hot favorite. Tea Tray. Riley,
