Rumor That Undergraduates and Alumni
DIsaEree on This Point.

Runor That Undergraduates and Alumni
Disagree on This Point.
There was a rumor among college men yester-
day 10 the effect that the Undergraduates at
Yale are seriously contemplating the plan of
sending another crew to Henley next year. In
feet. 1t can be stated on reliable information
that several undergraduates interested in Yale
rowing matters visited certain prominent alum
nj In this City recently with the idea of raising
more subscriptions for another trip OF the crew
TO England. and met with polite but firm refu-
sails. lt Is stated by a weil-known Yale gradu-
ate. who was instrumental in raising q large
snm toward defraying the expenses OF the crew
last July. that the opinion of the most inhuen-
ttal Yale alumni is very much against another
trip to Henley:
"While the Yale crew was treated royalty in
England last ummer." ne said. another trip
might not be regarded with as much favor by
Englishmen. They perhaps would look upon It
rs merely an expedition to capture a cup, and
not as n trip for pure sport and good fellowship.
Yale graduates believe that the crew should
now remain at home for q time and meet some
OF the crack American crews. If the under
graduates decide to send n crew abroad again,
they will do 70 at their own expense, as the
alumni Will positively refuse to subscribe for
such u trip In "iew OF the circumstances"

CHICAGO. Oct 23.-The Orange Judd
Farmer tomorrow will say: "A smaller
acreage and a decreased rate of yield are
resulting in a decidedly smaller and more
manageable crop of potatoes. The amount
available for market is by no means as bur-
densome as was the crushing crop of 1885
The crop now being harvested is placed by
this authority at 245, 900 bushels a de-
crease of more than 50,000,000 bushels or
1715 per cent compared with year ago.
The total area harvested approximates
2,S65, 600 acres, which in turn is l01e per cent
short of last year Growers almost uni
formIy devoted less land to this staple this
being particularly true in some of the
Northwestern States. which in 1885 showed
an abnormally increased area. Unequally
distributed rainfall Is given as a chief
cause for the smaller rate of Yield. The
average yield per acre for the whole coun-
try is placed at So per cent per acre,
against SO last year. This report makes the
Canadian crop 55.300.090 bushels, a decrease
of nearly 13 0e0. 600 bushels compared with

This egotistic statement, like most Mr..

a canvass in one of these States that he is

General Wallace has no occasion to as

has yet to prove his by evidence other than
