Common Council. owing to the determined oppo-
sition of Thomas J. Blake. now First Sc
lectman He has been In charge OF the affairs con-
nected with the administration Of public charity for
three years. and while he is thoroughly familiar
with the work he has brought upon himself much
opposition The new law under which the commits
sion is organized provides for the election OF a
Superintendent Of Charities. and the Board that has
been appointed is presumably set up to elect Mr.
Blake to that position. If this Is TO occur Mr. Blake
will not be confirmed On the other hand. 1t has
been laid out to provide by ordinance that no mem
Der Of the Commission shall be appointed 10 po-
sition of profit under its administration, and II that
ordinance is passed Mr. Blake will be confirmed In
order to keep him the Commission and out OF the
position of Superintendent. The situation Is pecu-
lar one but not more than are a half-dozen
others brought about by the bungling act which
consolidated the town and city government.

ATHLETICS AT HARVARD.
THE CLASS BOAT RACES TO COME OFF TO-MOR-

Cambridge. May 2 (SpeciaD-The chief occasion
of interest in athletics next week is the class boat
races which are take place Monday, May 4.
Ever since Christmas the class crews have been
training for this. Here is the strongest relic of
class feeling. and these races are therefore the
most exciting contests of the year. The S class
crew has the races two years in succession,
and is likely to repeat the performance. The fresh
man crew will be, as usual. not very dangerous.
while the sophomores and juniors Will fight II out
for second place The senior has fewer
than five men who at time another were
either regular varsity oarsmen or substitutes on
tho varsity.
Immediately after the eight will be
chosen from the three uper Class crews and be put
into strict training under the varsity coachers
This college will train for about two weeks
when II will have a race with the varsity for two
miles. This will end the training. Three or four
men will be chosen to be substitutes on the varsity
and the rest OF the oarsmen Will be dropped from
The baseball team and Mott Haven team went
to training table this week. Both teams were
smaller than usual. owing to lack OF funds Those
who went for the nine were Rand, Burgess. Seam

pitcher now training for the Harvard team who
would be effective against team that pretends to
bat at all. The fielding has steadily improved. and
is good, rule. desirable change in the
makeup was made when Crawford was taken from
shortstop and Clarkson put in his place The only
seriously weak place Is third base. X. II.
Stevenson s safe enough II he once gets his hands
to a ba l. but he is slow and covers little ground.
