THE VISITING ATHLETES.

The most cordial hospitality Is due to the Brit
ish athletes who are now visiting this country
for the purpose Of contests in field sports. There
IS no doubt that 1t will be given by their actual
councillors. Yale may be trusted to care for
Cambridge. and the NewYork Athletic Club for
its London guests and antagonists But an
equal need Of graciousness should be shown by
the general press and public so that the visitors
NAV feel that they are in a kindred land and
among those who believe in fair play and who
appreciate and respect manly craftsmanship,
whatever name or coors it may bear.
II IS undenable that there has been some
little loss Of interest in these coming games, be-
cause OF the composition Of the London team.
Several Of the men originally chosen were. for
one reason or another unable to come They
were among the best Of all. especially in running
Excellent men have taken their places. but there
IS no discouricsy to these latter in saying that
the changes have somewhat weakened the team
and lcsscned It's chances Of success. Never'he-
less, the men now here are all fine athletes ana
true sportsmen. we'll worthy OF our warmest
hospitality and Of the best efforts OF those VINO
are to meet them on track and field.
The criticism has now and then been made
that Americans are not good losers. 1t Is scarce
" well founded. True, there were some mani
fcstations of bad temper shown. only few
weeks ago. at the defeat Of the Cornell crew at
Henley But they were shown by very few
Americans on this side of the water and were
not countcnanced by the general public The
bearing of the beaten men themselves and OF
their friends at Henley. was altogether manly
So was that Of the Yale men who were beaten
last year So was that Of the great mass OF the
American people on both those occasions. In the
coming games we have no doubt that both the
American contestants and the general public
would bear defeat with good spirit, should defeat
come OF that however, there Is little fear
The outlook Is for victory for both New-iork and
Yale And as vic.Ors we shall certainly know
how TO be gracious and magnanimous to the
gallant men whom we have defeated.

THE THIRD-TERN PROJECT.

performance scarcely ever surpassed In au-
dacty Is the declaration OF Senator Gray in
favor of the reelection OF President Cleveland.
As the most submissive OF all the Cuckoo tribe,
Mr.. Gray was obviously the most fit personals
perhaps he was the only Democrat Of prominence
who would conscnt-to affront American opin-
ions by declaring that Mr.. Cleveands services
were so lustrious that he ought to have the
honor which had not beer given TO Washington
or TO Grant Washington refused a third cleo
ton for patriotic and most honorable reasons,
which, In spite Of Senator Gray's sophistry, hold
good still Grant was stoutly supported by
body Of friends but it does not appear that he
personally sought or consented to accept the
questionable honor. For most questionable
honor 1t would always be, if President, having
his party by the throat through his official mer-
cenarles, should cxtOrt from 1t a nomination In
violation Of all American presidents and in
stincts.
Now that this thing has been formally pro-
posed, and by a man known to echo the Presi-
dents wishes, as II devoid Of mind Of his own,
II might be the best thing for the country on
every account TO have the experiment tried TO
the end Let us have President nominated
for third term, and see where he will come
out Senator Gray sets up this pitifully frivolous
claim. that American tradition forbids only three
consecutive terms for the same man. and he
claims that the Cleveland who was President
first became a private citizen and was washed
clean, so 10 speak, OF all restrictions as TO re-
election when he was defeated in 1883. He has
again been elected for the first time like any
other citizen and is entitled to reelection II his
services merit that confidence. as any other Pres
ident might be elected for second continuous
term Mr. Gray had some reputation as law
YER. but will certainly lose most OF his repua
ton for commOn-sense by advancing an argu-
mcnt so shallow and pcttifogglng in character.
He is false TO history In saying that the prn-
cipal objection IN Washington's case sprang
from the doubt whether the new Republic would
STAY Republic. On the contrary. President
Washington himself set forth In the clearest
terms the other and permanent objection that

The other question relates to the quantity OF

future Of It, We believe that question may ne
answered readily and satisfactorily. The pres
ent flow from the Cr0ton and adjacent valleys
is ample for all legitimate uses. 1t amounts to
something like 2JO,O00,0O gallons day. That
compares, proportionaely to the population. very
favorably with the supply Of any other city.
Even now there Is practically no danger OF
scarcity. But five or six years hence, when the
great works now in progress shall have been
completed, there will be sufficient water in

WATER SUPPLY AND PRESSURE.

Two important questions were raised In the
discussion Of the city's water service before the
Sinking Fund Commissioners. One was the ex-
tent TO which the pressure In the mains should
be increased The demand was made that it
should be raised within the next two years to
400 feet, or considerably more than three times
its present height. Then 1t would reach TO the
tops Of the highest buildings now existing or
likely TO be erected The principle was advanced
that the city ought to provide n water supply
that would rise, without pumping, TO the tops
OF the loftlest skyscrapers any ambitious build
or might put up. and the people ought cheerfuy
TO bear the cost OF H.
To that he Mayor demurred-and, as we think,
with good reason. Such a water pressure would
be a good thing. II would. however. be Of no
benefit 10 the vast maJorlty Of New-lorkers and
1t does not seem right that the many should thus
be taxed for the benefit Of the few. One speaker
said, with epigrammatic force. that the city had
twenty story buildings and fonr-story Fire De
partment. That Is quite true. But II Is not,
after all. twenty-story city, nor Is II likely To
be. The twenty-story buildings are few, and
will always be few in comparison with the whole
mass The water supply is for the whole, not
for the few. and until II Is entirely satisfactory
TO the vast majority In buildings OF moderate
height the claims Of the few may well be held
In allegiance The thousand four.story buildings
should not be asked to pay for special service

the meeting must take rank as the most success
