University Crews Did Not Row Decause
 Pennsys Shell Was Smashed.
 PoUGHKEEPs1E, x. Y. June 22.-The big boat race between the university cights of Columbia, Cornell and Pennsyl- vania was not rowed owing to an acci- dent, and thousands of people were disap- pointed.
 Just before the time agreed for the start the shell of the University of Prn:.sylva- nia crew, which was in the wa,rr await ing the coming of the men. WAS thrown against the hull of the Pennsylvania launch on the crest of wave a'l badly smashed. The mishap was C;iuS q hy the swell from passing revenue cLttrr The boat was at once taken out of ti.H w0'rr and examined. It was stove in in four places and could not possibly l,r used.
 The only other eight Oartd sl. II brought here by the Pennsylvanian> Was wrecked so badly in practice a few d2vS ago as tu be practically useless. The Cornell men at once offered the use of Onr of their shells, but as it was riggyd on tl, opposite side to those used by the Pynn-! l>ania crew the offer was declined, and Prnnsyl- vania asked for a p0Stponsmrn,.
 While the matter was being debated the Cornell and Columbia crews padded over to the starting line, and the thousands of
  waiting over an hour in the rain, set up a cheer. They expected the Philadelphians to come to the line, but were disappointed. Finally the decision was reached on the referees boat, which lay an eighth of Q mile below the start, to postpone the race until Monday afternoon. Pennsylvania g captain refused a shell which Columbia offered and insisted on the postponement. Steam craft must and will ply the river before the race, and the racing craft in the hands of their crews must obvious l ly be at their own risk until the start. The wash that crushed Pennsylvania s shell is said to have come from the large tug in which Governor Morton came down the river from his Rhinebcck home to view the race. The tug, however, be 1t the governors or not, was on the far side l of the river from Pennsylvania boat l house, and her crew was at least unfortu- nate in not having secured their shell 1 from the on coming roller.

RAILROAD INSPECTIONS.

Commissioners Send Their Report to
 the Companies.
 The reports of the railroad commission CTS on the inspection trips have been made and forwarded to the companies.
 As to the condition of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, the commissioners say that prompt repairs have placed the surface of the tracks in good condition after the severity of the winter, so that the ordinary renewal of ties and the usual amount of surfacing and facing and ballasting will put the main line in fair condition. The condition of the bridges is satisfactory. the number of wooden ones on all branches of the road being gradually reduced.
 The New York X New England railroad, the commissioners find, is to be repaired by 3OO, ,OO0 new ties and 8, ,000 tons of steel rail during the summer. and say that this renewal is needed, as it is now difficult to maintain a good surface with the heavy traffic passing over it; forty miles of the track are also to be ballasted, all of which the commissioners approve. A general abandonment of wooden bridges is recommended.

ACTIVITY AT NIANTIC.

Men of the Quartermaster's Depart.
 ment Begin Work on the State Camp
 Ground.
 The men of the quarterm aster's depart ment have begun work at the state camp ground at Mantle, making preparations for the arrival of the state troops next month. Nothing was done at the camp grounds uGtil it was fully decided ty the governor that the troops would be there. The men to-day removed the hay from the camp ground and stored it in the stables for use of the horses next month.
 There is quite a contest going on for the position of janitor of the grounds, now held by Lincoln Smith. Smith was ap- pointed by Qusrtermaster-Genera Harbi- son, succeeding R c. Beckwith, who was jAnitor of the state grounds for over eight years.
 Beckwith is looking for the appoint. ment this year. Another candidate is Turner c. Haynes. It is thought probable that Smith will remain as janitor in conse, uuence of the contest.
