LIFE BOATS TO THE RESCUE.
The Big City of Chicago Stranded on a
Rocky Coast.

LONDON, July 1.-The steamer City of
Chicago went ashore in a dense fog
about half mile inside of the west head
of Kinsale today. Tugs were despatched
to the scene. The steamer ran stem into
the cliff. Life boats were at once
launched and other life saving appara-
tus brought into play. The sea was
smooth at the time and the wind mod
crate and light. The City of Chicago
carried from New York 129 cabin passen-
gers and a cargo of general merchandise.
She struck the cliff within half an hour
of high water. The passengers and mail
from the stranded steamer are being
landed by lifeboats.
The fore compartment of the steamer
is full of water, evidently the result of
her bottom coming in contact with
Jagged rocks.

Message of the President Concerning We'll
land Canal Tolls.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The President
today sent the following message to the
Senate:
''For the information Of the Senate and
in further response to the resolution of
the Senate of February Gath last, 1 trans
nit herewith communication of the
oath inst, from Mr.. Herbert, acting rep
resentative of the British government
at this capital, addressed to Mr.. Whar-
ton. acting Secretary of State, upon the
subject of Canadian canal tolls, and also
the recommendation prepared and sub
mitted to me by Mr. Adee, Second As
sistant Secretary of State, reviewing the
communication of Mr.. Herbert and the
letters of the 29th inst. from John w.
Foster, who, as previously stated, with
Mr.. Blaine, represented this govern
ment in the conferences with the Cana
dian commissioners. The position taken
by this government, as expressed in my
previous communication to the Senate,
that the canal tolls and regulations of
which complaint has been made, are in
violation of our treaty with Great Bri-
tain, is not shaken, but rather confirmed.
There can be no doubt that various dis
ordinations against our citizens and our
commerce exist, and quite as little
doubt that their discrimination is not an
incident but a purpose of the Canadian
regulations. 1t has not seemed to me
that this was a case in which we could
yield to the suggestion of further con-
cessions on the part of the United States
with a view to securing treaty rights for
which consideration has already been
given,o

| After music, flowers and fine dinner
had been enjoyed, the guests adjourned
to the parlors, as more cosy and suitable
| for the literary exercises of the evening,
| which were opened by Messrs. Lewis
and Adams, the out going and incoming
presidents. Mr.. Edgar A. P. Yates, of
the Boston Daily Globe, gave an interest
ing and witty account of ''Some News

was then read by Mrs. Marcia Bradbury
Jordan. Lack of space prevents the
publication of Mrs. Jordan's entertain
ing poem.
From the class history, by DR.. Charles
E. Banks, the following facts are gath
cred: The class entered the High
School September 7th, 1868, numbering
155 members-62 boys and 90 girls,-and
graduated 1872 boys and 3S girls,-of
whom 81 persons are now living. OF
this number, 20 boys and 20 girls are
married. The graduates are scattered
over Al states from Nova Scotia to Neva-
ola. Sixty.eight young seventy y-twosters
are now growing up to years of discre-
lion to occupy, but not fill, their fathers
and mothers places.

arrangements were made by the execu-

MADE A GREAT BRACE.
The Home Team Plays Good Ball for
Canadian Visitors.

The home team made a great brace
yesterday over the playing of the day be-
fore, probably being inspired by the
presence of the canadian Bagmen,' %
and also by the inspiring notes of the
band.
Portland began the run getting in the
first, Kirmes got first on muff by
Cudworth, stole second, and scored on
an error by McGuane and second one by
Cudworth. They earned one in the sec
ond on double by Tobin and single
by Platt; one in the third, O'Brien get
ting a hit, stealing second, and takiug
third as the Count threw wild to
catch him, and home on an attempt to
catch Clymer at second, he having gone
to first on balls. Two runs were made
In the fifth. After one man was out,
Rogers made double, and took third on
wild throw by the Count to catch him
mapping. Clymer made hit, sending in
Rogers. He then stole second.
The brilliant game that the Count had
been playing seemed to dazzle him, and
to affect his eyesight as he again scaled
the ball into centre field. Clymer went
to third, and as Wheeler threw from CEN
tire to catch him, came home. The home
team kept up the good work, securing
one in the sixth, three in the seventh,
and two in the eighth, and most of them
by fine batting and base running.
The visitors made their first run in the
second, Cudworth getting first on muff
by Annis, second on sacrifice by the
Count, third on dead bali, the ball hit
ting the umpire, and stole home, while
Carey was holding the ball. The visitors
only stole one base after this, as Carey
gave them no chance. They made their
last run in the third, Wheeler leading off
with hit, going to second on sacrifice
by Burke, and home on hit by Garry.
Farrell and Clymer again covered
themselves with glory by the brilliant
way in which they played at second,
while Carey played the game for all it
was worth, pitching wonderfully well,
and fielding the position as only he can.
In sliding to second in the first,
Kirmes injured his hand so that he
had to retire from the game. AS he
he went onto the base, his right hand
struck the spike on one of Farrell's shoes
splitting the hand between the third and
little fingers quite badly, and he will
probably be unable to play for some
time. The score:

Yale Pnlled Like One Man.

At the two and one-half mile post Yale
had placed fully eight lengths of clear
water between her stern and the Harvard
bow. Along by the three mile flag
Lyman and Captain Kelto n, Harvard S
eight and seven, swung badly out of
shape. In desperation to urge the boat
along at winning pace, each seta differ
ent stroke for the men behind. The shell
quivered under the opposing forces tug
ging away on each side, but high rate
of speed was out of the question. 1t was
a procession after the third mile post
was passed. The Yale oars dropped ex-
act and true. The first half of the lastmile
was the most inferior exhibition of oars
manship given by both crews during the
whole race. The realization of certain
victory was beginning to unnerve the
Yale men and the Harvard crew were be-
ginning to feel overwhelmed by a sense
of sure defeat and pulled loosely togeth-
er.
A short distance before the last half
mile post was reached, the eights passed
between long lines of yachts which en-
closed the finish. A rousing salute was
given both crews as they passed each
yacht and the effect was magical The
stroke was quickened, the keels kept
more even and the Craftsmanship of both
crews was decidedly more trim and clean
ly cut. AT 5:37 AS, the Yale boat shot by
the finish with Harvard Is or IS lengths
to the rear. The time was: Yale. 20
minutes, Al seconds; Harvard, 21 min
utes, ,424 seconds. Every member of Yale S
crew finished fresh, and only one or two
of the Harvard crew were really exhaust
ed. Every whistle in New London was

TWAS A VERY BLUE day.
The Crimson Twice Defeated at New
London Yesterday.
HOW THE YALE CREW WON THE
GREAT VARSITY RACE,

After the Harvard Freshmen Had Al
ready Suffered Defeat-The Varsity
Was Rowed by Yale with the Precision
of Clock Work While Harvard Made a
Poor Showing and Finished Many
Lengths Astern.
New LONDON, July 1.-This has be en-
a Yale week with Y ale finish. Tuesdays
base ball game was victory over Har-
ward. This morning Yale won the tri-
angular two miles straight away Fresh
man race by lengths, Columbia second,
Harvard third; time, Yale, 12.033; Col
umbla, 1920; Harvard, 1928. And to
put gloss of finish on the whole sea-
sons aggregation of Yale's athletic
achievements the Yale varsity eight
turned the tables on the Harvard crew
this afternoon leaving them even further
behind than Yale was left last year. Had
the crews been favored with the strong
tide and following winds which aided
Capt. Stevenson's 'SS record crew there
is little room for doubt that the present
record would have suffered another frac-
ture this afternoon. The Yale eight,
hard pressed at no time after the first
half mile, came within 30 seconds of the
time of Stevenson's men. The water was
smooth with a strong breeze blowing
from the north, at the backs of the
crews as they rowed down stream with
the tide. These circumstances were
highly favorable to the lighter and live
1ipr Of Va1o and odu 10
wards beefier and stronger oarsmen. 1t
was Yale's year to choose between an
east and west course and she selected
the former.
The observation train made it's ap-
pearance as the referees word was given
and the 16 oars dug into the water at
BIT. Harvard's spry stroke secured a
hold first and
The Crimson Took the Lead.
For the first hundred yards Harvard kept
it, pulling 80 strokes to Yale's about 49,
Yale splashed badly and the boat rolled
little, while Harvard got off compare
lively smoothly. At $50 yards from the
start the Yale PROV shot past Harvard's
Harvard quickened the stroke little
and made a desperate fight before relin-
DIR opped into bad form, causing the boat
to roll and progress by perceptible jerks.
For fifty yards Harvard gave an extreme
ly poor exhibition. At the first half
mile Yale was rowing half a length in
the lead and both crews were exhibiting
the finest burst of speed witnessed dur
ing the entire race, except possibly at
the finish.
Yale continued this effective squirt dur
ing the second half mile, while Harvard
fell back little by little. When the Yale
shell passed the first mile boat it was
three lengths ahead. Yale took matters
a trife more easy from the mile to the
mile and a half post and the gap between
the shells remained little changed.
Yale was four lengths ahead at
the two mile post, which marked
the conclusion of half of the
race. Yale was then pulling more Wig
orously. At this point the Harvard body
work commenced to be uncertain. The
octette of backs no longer rose with au-
tomaton precision, but came up with a
promiscuous movement suggestive of
bobbing.
