1906. The resolution relates to the pow
ers Of the proprietors of public land in
New Haven. 1t Is claimed that these
proprietors have full control of the land
on the Green and that If depot Is to

their permission. The resolution gives
them power to perpetuate themselves
by filling any vacancy in their number
caused by resignation or death and also
says that acting under the advice of the
selectmen they may convey and alien
ate property under their control. Moth
ing is said in the resolution about the
Green, but it is claimed by those who
are defending the Green against en-
croachment that the proprietore have
charge of the Green. The copy OF the
old resolution was furnished by the
secretary of state to assist Corpora

Henley, July 6.-The Yale crew went
out on the river at 6:25 .. m. for tho

in the Diamond Sculls contest. II he
leads to the Fawley Court house. half
the course, he thinks he will win. al
large number of Yale men arrived here
this afternoon to witness the Grand
Challenge race. The Yale crew are in
the best possible condition.
Tonight the Yale crew mainly prac-
ticed starts in which they showed
weakness. They went down to Temple
Island and made seven short stretches
on the way back. Their starts were
ragged and uneven and they splashed
badly. Their rowing on the stretches
was good.
Bob Cook tonight said that il the
Yale crew won the first heat they would
win the cup. He expected, however.
that they would be beaten at the start
as starting was the Leander's strong
point. He had confidence in the stay
ing power Of the men, but intimated
that he would not be surprised il the
Leanders won.
He said the American crew would not
row above forty strokes per minute.
while he believed that the Leandera
would pull up to forty three strokes.
The Field owing to chagrin that It's asi- Il
vice to exclude foreigners from the re-
gatta was not followed has printed
leaflets which it has distributed at Hem
ley containing an article published By
certain New York journal on 5unes
IL, which attributes to the Yale msS
ideas which they never entertained.
The regatta stewards estimate the ar
ticle at its true worth and Lay no at
tention to It,
Mr.. Cook, speaking of this matter,
said:
THE idea that we expect foul play
is false, The English have shown us
every courtesy. We appreciate the
most friendly relations that exist be-
tween ourselves and our rivals"
The Yale crew, in body, called on
the Leander crew this evening.

Minneapolis, July 6.-Eor two hours

during female bicycle race. The man.

The crowd refused to allow the race

ey back. The treasurer had, however,
disappeared. When this fact was as
certained the riders were pulled from
their wheels, the track was covered
with tacks and broken glass, and the
office was broken into by 1000 enraged
people. The crowd tore up the track,
after that, razed the grand stand, rip
ped fences down and smashed several
small buildings Fifty policemen were
sent to the spot. During the clearing
of the grounds several people were in
jured, including two policemen.

A Competent Motorman.

The completeapower which a thor
oughly practical and long experienced
motorman has over his trolley car was
clearly demonstrated by one of the en-
ployees of the Hestonville line in Phila-
delphia the other day. 1t was dinner
time, and several of the cars were at
one end of the route Included in the
lunch OF one of the motormen was n
hard boiled egg. In a joking way he
said to his neighbor, II will bet "a that
l can crack the she'll of this egg without
breaking the egg with the front dasher
of my car. A pool was made and the
motorman reversed the current and
backed his car distance of several
yards. One of his companions stood
on the rear platform Of the Car in front
and held the egg between his fingers,
with one end against the rear dasher of
the car. The maker of the bet started
his car forward at a good rate of speed
and then applied the brake, bringing the
car to dead standstill only when it had
to come SO close to the car ahead as to
hold the egg supported by both cars.
Then he again reversed the current and
the shell was found to be neatly cracked,
but the meat Of the egg unbroken. n.-Ex-

Smugglers' Tricks.

Some amusing anecdotes are related
in connection with the recent discoveries
of smugglers' tricks. A few years ago
an individual in an ecclesiastical cos
tune used to cross the frontier from
Switzerland into France every morning
with large breyiary in his hand He
was man of dignified aspect and re-
ceived every mark of Difference from the
customs officers, who sometimes accom-
panied him part of the way of his daily
stroll. At last letter put the authori-
ties on the alert, and the presumed priest
was found to be professional smuggler,
who had contrived to introduce into
France at least 1000 watches in his
breviary, which on examination proved
to be tin box.
Very curious also was the experience
of former inspector general of customs
here. During visit to Geneva he bought
q clock and instructed the vender to for
ward it only when he had informed him
of his return to Paris, adding that he
must be careful to pay the duty. One Of
the first things that he noticed on his
arrival at his home was this identical
timepiece in his drawing room, and in
reply to his questions his coachman ex-
planned that the tradesman had himself
slowed the clock away in his carriage.
It is calculated that only one out of ten
professional smugglers is ever caught.

has made one or two trips abroad and
has made some study of European poll

into politics, there are very
few, SO far, who have given much per-
sonal attention to the subject, outside
of the professional agitators for the
enlargement of "woman's sphere" m
Kentucky, however, there is one nota-
Bile exception to this rule in the person
of Miss Corinne Blackburn, the young
est daughter of Senator j. &. S. Black

her father through some hard cam
paigns, notably the recent one in the

word and despises that particular cult,
but she is a tirst-class politician and
has been of much assistance to the
Senator.
Wherever he has gone she has gone

the men she has been doing some valu-
able work in persuading the wives and
sweethearts and sisters and mothers
of voters that they should influence the
male members of their families to cast
