OARsMEN LEAVE FOR ENGLAND.
Canadians to Compete at Henley

New YORK, April IS, 1S94.-John ]. Ryan

Club, of Toronto, Canada, started for Eng
land today on the steamer Germanic, to
compete at the Henley regatta on July 8,
and 5 for the diamond SOULS and silver
goblets.
A big delegation of Canadian oarsmen
saw the distinguished pair off. Among these
were H. j. Kelly, John Clark and John Nc
Kinley. Ryan took a new single shell with
him. O present from Ned Hanlon. Wright

crack oarsmen left Toronto on Monday
night. When seen by a reporter on the
steamer they were busy lashing q boat to the
davits on the port side. Ryan is faster
man than Wright in the singles, and while
not at all over sanguine about his chances
at Henley, he said that in his opinion the
pair would com very near winning some

YACHTSMEN ALERT.
Important Changes Suggest
ed in the Clubs Sailing
Rules.
AFTER THE DIAMONDSCULLS
Bowlers in the Celery District
Engaged in a Hot
Contest.
THE D~IAMONDSCULLS

The yachting season may fairly be said to
be opened, and Jersey City yachtsmen are
getting their boats into shape for the open
ing day of their respective clubs, which
usually takes place on Decoration Day,
May 30. Down at the Communipaw Bay
houses there is abundant evidence of the
very active season for the yachts.
The Pavonias, Jersey City Y.C., Daunt-
ess, Greenville, New Jersey and other in
situations will enter the year with an en-
larged feet and membership. Notwith
standing the dissension among the clubs
forming the New York Yacht Racing Asso-
citation as to the proposed regatta rules, the
Jersey City clubs associated with the com
bine" mean to hold regattas of their own
and run them in their own way.
NEW SUGGESTED.
AS to these changes a prominent yachts
men says a committee from all the clubs
should be appointed to examine the sailing
rules and endeavor to improve them. AS
they now exist many of our large and
prosperous clubs, who have long approved
of the objects of the association, are pre-
vented from joining by the rules in force,
while if some changes were made they
would be made acceptable to these clubs, as
well as those now belonging to the assocla-
ton. At present the rule for time allowance
is the antique rule of water line plus one
half of the over hang. This may be
a fair rule for a certain class OF
boats, but is very unfair to another
class, and the rules should be harmonized to
fit all classes. I suggest that the committee
consider if it is not possible to make two
rules of measurement, one to be called the
hull rule and another the sail area rule.
This seems to my mind to be feasible without
being a~ntagonistic to the objects of the asso-
citation, and with such a change the objec-
tions raised by the clubs I have mentioned
would be removed and they would be glad to

THE NURSE KEPT EVERYTHING.

Recorder McDonough yesterday was Wis
tied by a middle aged woman attired in
widows weeds, who introduced herself as
Mrs. Heinrich of Bloomfield street, Hobo
ken. She was accompanied by her son, and
between them they told the Recorder that a
nurse named Mrs. Swain, who used to live
at No. 1,029 Washington street, .Hoboken,
has coniscated all the effects of a dead son
of the widows and will not give them up.
The nurse was engaged in Hoboken to go to
California, where the dying son, Henry M.
Heinrich, was. She was given money for
carfare, and upon her arrival found the man
dead. She telegraphed for $500 and got all
but S25 of it from the Heinrich's in Hobo
ken. The body was brought to Hoboken,
Mrs. Swain following. She had secured the
power of attorney and had got ahold of all
the dead mans money and valuables. The
Recorder advised that Mr.. Heinrichs con-
suit legal advice.

WESTERN VIEW OF NEW YORK.

New York is a city without homes.
Among old residents and new, native and
foreign, among the poor, the well-to-do and
rich, the question is almost universal, "Where
do you live nowg' How many in the whole
great city have lived ten yeGAs in one house?
How many have lived five years where they
live nows New Workers are as nomadic as
Bedouins; but the Bedouins have a much
freer range, and this is an advantage. To
be confined to one little island and yet to
have no home is to acquire the vices n to
suffer the limitations both of the tramp and
the serf. There may be disadvantages about
neighhors and friends, but after all it is
civillzing to have them. New Workers nave
no reighbors and few real friends. The
housing of New York is not good. The peo-
pie are packed away like sardines in a box,
or dishes in a cupboard; some cupt cards
have four and some sixteen shelves: only a
few families enjoy an entire cupboard to
great proximity; they are often-and per-
haps commonly-too close for moral or
physical decency. Light is a rare and
precious commodity. Sewer gas first-hand
is not good to breathe, but breathed several
times in succession by different persons it
becomes noxious.-ApriL Forum.

WHY GRANT WROTE Els MEMOIRS

At the of sixty-two General Grant found
it necessary to begin the battle Of life over
again. He determined then to write his me-,
moirs. His attention had been turned in
this direction for some time, through
the suggestions of his friends, and
especially through the example of General
Sherman. Following the failure of Grant &
Ward he received offers from different pub
fishers OF such a character as to indicate to
him chat he might with his pen still be able
to build up a competency for his family. His
first contribution to literature had been pub
lished in December, 1882, in the North
american ReuieW. This article was entitled
San Undeserved Stigma and was a defence
of General Fitz John Porter. AS a means of
raising immediate money, be first turned his
mind to the preparation Of four articles for
the Century Observation-Disclosures For

GreenvflIe Tournament Very Inter

The women team tournament which is
being rolled at Edinger's alleys, in Green
vile, is proving to be the most interesting
contest ever held in the celery district.
When the entries were filed John O'Halieron
and Jack Perry were looked upon as "dead
easy shad," but last night these bowlers
opened the eyes of the more experienced
bowlers. They rolled two series of games,
and. in addition to winning the laurels in
each, they put up the highest score of the
tournament, BAT pins. The first series was
won handily by e. Bishop and F. Smith. In
the second and third series an extra game
had to be rolled to decide them. In the
former Perry and O'Halleron put up the
best games and won. In the final the bowl
ing was above par. In the first game
of this series the victors won by
two pins. On the last ball
O'Halleron had to make a difficult
spare to win. The second game was a walk
over for E. Bishop and F. Smith, and in the
wind-up it was nip and tuck until the last
ball was rolled. AS in the first game.
O;Halleron had to make a spare to win and
he did it. Although defeated in this series,
Bishop and Weisert had the highest aver
ages. The feature of the evening was the
final bowling of O'Halleron, who secured an
average of 160 1-6 pins for six games. The

The unconditional surrender of the
Democratic House of Representatives
to ex-Speaker Reed Is at once one of
the greatest personal triumphs of par
liamentary history and the vindication
of a thoroughly sensible principle of
legislative procedure. The great
rally cry of the democracy in 1890. and
again in 1892, Down with the Gear, ,
and his intolerabIe tyranny" Even
"McKinleyism" did not excite the
animosity that "Reedism" did. With
a majority OF about one hundred, the
democrats thought they were abund-
antly, with such a parliamentary
leader as Speaker Crisp in the Chair, to
get on without the Reed rule, and
though the heavens should fall, they
would never resort to that rule. They
held to this defiant position to the
very last. Even as late as Thursday
of last week, they ran up no flag of
truce, proposing. rather, to impose a
fine for being present and not voting,
a position without the slightest
authority In precedent or reason. But,
