Both crews have been training hard, and each. as usual, is confident of victory. The betting today favors Cambridge. The indications favor fine weather. The outpouring of spectators is ex- pected to be unprecedented, owing to the fact, that the race will not take place till 4o'clock in the afternoon, thus affording the tens thousands who are subject to the benefits of the Saturday early closing system, an opportunity to line the banks of the Thames

A HOME IN ASHES.
One Of the tIIandsomest Residences O
 sixth Avenue Burned.

The handsome residence of Mir. k. H. McFadden, on West Sixthavenue, was destroyed by fire at o'clock this morning.
 The house was q two.story one. Mir. McFadden occupied the second floor and Mr. l. r. Williams lived on the first floor The cause of the fire, as we learn, is about as follows:
 Mir. I. P. Williams went into d closet to look for a book Theeloset was dark and he struck u match. The matchset some clothing hanging against the wall on fire Mr. Will jams ran ito secure something with which to smother the flames. Before he got back the flames had reached Il bottle of gasoline that sat on q shelf, and it exploded and the entire closet was soon a mass of flames, which it was impossible to extingHish. An alarm was at once given but before the fire department arrived the fire had gained such q headway that it was beyond control
 Both families lost all of their furni- ture and personal effects Mir. Me Fadden was insured for S2 100. His loss is estimated about $5,000 Mr. Williams only had $500 insurance on his furniture and personal effects, and had if not been for Mr. Jake k atzenstein, he would not have that. The two gentlemen were discussing insurance the other day when Mr Williams stated that he cid not carry insurance. Mr. Katzenstein told him that he was acting very foolishly and urged him to go at onceand take out some, which he did. Today ht feels as if Mr. katzenstein had made him present of $300.
 Both Mr. MeFadden and MT. Will jams have many friends in Pine Bluff who severely regret their misfortune

A Marvellous Tale.

A gentleman of unimpeachable veracity this morning told the GRAPHIC reporter the following mar vicious story, which we think worthy of mention:
 He said that tramp yesterday at noon walked up to his back door, trapped, and that his wife went to the door in response, when the tramp who was white man, pulled off his hat and in Q polite manner, said: Madam, will you please give me piece of soap? wish to take a bath.
 The lady went into the room, got cake of soap and carried it to him, when he said. Madam, I heartily thank you. 1 have asked for soap at twenty-one houses in this city and you are the first person that has given it to me; the others all said that they had none. Now, if I can cut you any wood, or bring in any wood in payment for this soap I will gladly do so. ,
 The gentleman said that on this reply his wife was so surprised that she came near fainting, and be- fore she could recover herself, sufli-  ciently to speak the tramp had gone. Surely, truth is stranger than fic- tion.
