THEIR SIDE OF THE CASE.
The U. of r. Does Not Like the Idea OF
Yale Representing All Athletics.

The U. of p. Does Not Like the Idea Of
Yale Representing All Athletics.
H. L. Geylin. president Of the University
of Pennsylvania athletic committee. in
speaking of the reply of oxford and Cam
bridge to his letter Of June %. in reference
to international games, says:
Briefly summed up the situation would
seem to be this: The Intercollegiate Asso-
citation sent a challenge early in March in
viting Oxford and Cambridge to organize
a team Of representative athletes OF Great
Britain to meet them in games N England
this summer. To that reply 1t was said
that owing to OxforTs obligation to meet
Yale, If insisted on by Them they Oxford
and Cambridge cannot accept the Inter-
collegiate Associations invitation. Yale.
though a member of the association. insists
on her privilege and Oxford and Cambridge
challenge Yale and Harvard to games to
be held In this country. Harvard, however.
declines to be party in accepting the
challenge. Oxford and Cambridge decline
Yales acceptance to meet them together
and Cambridge accepts to meet Yale under
certain conditions. in this country.
THE universities Of this country must
again submit to have the question of the
relative strength Of American and English
universities in track and field sports deter
mined by contest in which Yale shall
represent them"

. CAN CARRY GREAT SAIL.
New England Yachtsmen Enthusias
tic Over Defender.

New England Yachtsmen Enthusias-
tic Over Defender.
Defender was taken out yesterday from
Bristol and given her first trial under full
racing Sails Defender showed up in mag
nifcent form, and fully met the great ex-
pectations raised by her first spins on Sat-
urday and Sunday. IN which she carried
only her mainsail and lower head sails.
Great disappointment was caused by
Vigifaht's failure to accompany and race
with her, but E. A. Willard, who manages
Vigtlant for the Goulds, was unexpectedly
detained in New York, and Captain Barr
refused to race in his absence. Mr.. Will
lard has wired that he will be on hand to-
day to give Defender as hard a race as she
will ever be called upon to sail. Defender
was timed repeatedly at fifteen seconds in
stays from full to full. spinning around on
her heels like top. She has an enormous
advantage over Vigilant in this important
particular. She stood up like a church
under her great cloud of canvas. Her rail
was never within a foot of the water. She
can undoubtedly carry a still greater
spread of sail to advantage, and Oliver
Iselin stated last night that she would al
most certainly be fitted with a larger suit.
There has never before been such enthu-
siasm among New England yachtsmen as
Defenders phenomenal showing has
aroused.

Place of the @. e. Convention Two
Years Hence.
The trustees Of the United Societies
of Christian Endeavor at Boston have de-
cided upon San Francisco as the place for
holding the convention in 1897
The meeting in Tent Willistone last night
was perhaps the greatest Of the three.
The address Of Rev. Russell H. Conwell
drew a great crowd; an address by. Rev.
Teunis Hamlin. DID,, Of this city. whose
subject was washington, '98." was a
very strong effort, while Mr.. W. H. Pen
neil of this city spoke in Tent Endeavor
on the same subject.
Addresses by Dwight F. Moody at the
Mechanics building and by John G. Wool
ley, the Chicago temperance lecturer, who
spoke In Tent Endeavor on the Christian
Endeavor vs.. the Saloon" were also great
attractions. The choruses. too, at all three
meetings surpassed all that has yet been
attampted in music since the meeting be-
gan. Eight hundred singers We're in
cluded in that at Mechanics Hall. and
each Of the tents had quota of not less
General Secretary John Willis Baer of
Boston presided at Mechanics Hall, Gen.
eral Trea surer William Shaw Of Boston
led the meeting in Tent Willistone. and
Trustee Rev. ]. z. Tyler, DID,, of Cleve-
land directed affairs in Tent Endeavor.
The UNCONVENTIONAL rallies held in the
afternoon in twenty-seven churches, halls
and tents were attended by thousands OF
delegates belonging to the twenty-seven
denominations represented at the conven-
ticn. More than one hundred clergymen
and laymen spoke at these meetings on
almost as many subjects.
According to the secretary there has
been a gain of 1850 societies in the year,
the largest increase for any consecutive
twelve months during the fourteen years
of the body's existence. The total number
Of societies is Al. 229, including 2,645 In the

MUST THE QUICK STROKE GO,
NOn-Experts Say 1t Must Give Way to
the LOl ger and Slower One.

NOR-Experts Say 1t Must Give Way to
the LOl ger and Slower One.
'The short, quick stroke will not do" is
the verdict of many careless observers
bearing in mind Cornelrs defeat at Henley
One solemn ignoramus says that years Of
study by the best masters have reached the
conclusion that the longer, slower stroke
used by Yale and the English covers more
ground than the quicker, shorter and jerk
Ter movement, which the writer character
ICES as the Cornell stroke. Cornelrs defeat
is regarded as proof of the insufficiency of
the short stroke. How then explain the
speed attained by Cornell in her practice
rows over the Henley course? The best
time made by the English crews during
the recent regatta was I'm. 15s, made by
Trinity Hall in the race with Cornell. Cor
nell rowed over the course last Saturday in
I'm. IS, and according to the Geographic
reports repeatedly covered the course in I'm.
15s. Cornell with her short stroke beat in
practice best time made at Henley this
year. How can the result of the race then
condemn the short stroke?
A mistaken notion exists In America that
the English confine themselves to a long,
slow stroke. Mr.. B. P. Sears, an old OK
ford man, and a member of winning
Grand Challenge cup crew, said before the
regatta:
During the Grand Challenge race I am
quite certain that none of the English
crews will fall below forty strokes to the
minute and they are likely to reach forty
two or more. I remember in one race in
which I took part for the challenge cup
we made an astonshingly quick start. Our
trainer, who times us, said we rowed
ninety-six strokes the first two minutes,
and we lost the race after all by about two
feet"
Mr.. Fortmyer. secretary of the National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen, remarks:
II am a great believer in the Cornell stroke
of the distance rowed today and I think
that If all the men had been in proper fix
the Trinity Hall boys would have found an
extremely difficult job on their hands,"
1t might be added that Cornell holds the
worlds three-mile record for Fights.

Fire at Rock Enon.
.espondence Of The Evening Star.

Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCK ENON, Va, July IL, 1895.
At about o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the boiler house Of the Rock Enon
Hotel, at the famous springs, which are so
much frequented by Washington people. The
entire supply of hot water for the baths Is
derived from this boiler house. The guests
were much alarmed. and for time is was
feared that the main hotel building would
be involved in the conf1agration. Some of
the ladies tainted, and Mrs. Pratt, the
wife of the proprietor, was Frustrated by
the shock. Prompt work with the fire
hose kept in readiness at the hotel quickly
subdued the fire in the boiler house and
warded off all danger. Had the wind been
stronger 1t is likely disastrous fire would
have occurred. The damage done amounts
to $780, and 1t is believed that it will be
necessary to get a new boiler. For some
time there was great danger of the boiler
exploding,

Frank Foreman of the Cincinnati Reds.
Arson put his new pitcher. Thornton, in

knocked out of the box. The Orioles had
their batting clothes on and he could not
stop the hitting.
Jesse Burkett Of Cleveland and Keller Of
Baltimore, with an average Of .4O5 each,
lead the National League in batting. They
are the only players of the league who are
above the 400 mark.
The prettiest game of ball ever played in
Louisville was yesterdays game between
the Colonies and the Beaneaters. It was
q battle royal for sixteen innings. and had
to be called on account Of darkness, the
score standing to 2.
It is now believed that Bug Holiday

They Climbed the steeule.

A large crowd gathered about the Met
ropolitan NJ. E. Church late yesterday at
ternoon witnessed a thrilling sight. Two
expert steeple climbers assembled to the
very top of the lofty steeple for the pur-
pose Of making an examination of its con-
dition. They made the ascent from a little
platform built out beneath the highest
window, nimbly climbing a rope rigging
that looked like mere cobweb from be-
low. For some time there has been an
impression that the steeple was in rather a
shaky condition. and some people have
gone so far as to express the opinion that
1t might fall If there were q heavy wind
storm. In order to allay any such appre-
hension the authorities of the church call
ed in the services of an architect, who has
had the examination made, and IL any
repairs are found necessary they will be
attended to, so as to place the steeple in
a thoroughly satisfactory condition.
