FIGHT PROSPECTS.
The Bogus Bid from the Knick-
erbockers.

The bid Of $40, 900 for q limited cor
test between Maher and Sharkev in
San Francisco and the acceptance of
the principles caused a good deal oP
excitement and not Il little ~disappoirt-
meut in this city yesterday. When
one comes to size UP the ~situatlon the
bogus character Of the BID becomes at
once apparent. No club can afford to
o1ler such a purse for such an at
traction. Sharkey is in bad odor in
San francisco since the Wyatt Earn
Jobbery in the Sharkey- FitzsimmoDs
fight, and there are hundreds Of
sports In San Francisco who will not

Everything Ready for the Great Naval Review

PORTSMOUTH, Eng, June 25.-Ev-
erything is in readiness for the great
naval spectacle. Portsmouth, Southsea
and their environments are getting
London's jubilee fever. Decorations
are universal, profuse and distinctly
naval, notably at the gateway of the
gun wharf, where brass cannon are
mounted in two turrets and in charge
Of pikemen in full armor. Matchlocks
protrude from the portfolios. On the
outside buttresses are figures of pike
men, while over the gateway is a
knight in the full armor of the Queen
Anne period. In addition to these are
all sorts of jubilee devices formed of
Brown Bess pistols, sword blades,
matchlocks, cuirasses and dirks Arm
ed knights in the panoply of the six
teenth and seventeenth century guard
the gateways. The town hall is richly
decorated, among the decorations be-
ing group of American flags with the
name Brooklyn" in the center.
The festivities began this afternoon
with garden party given by Sir New
ell Salmon. who will be in supreme
command of the review tomorrow, on
the beautiful lawns of the admiralty
house. Tonight banquet was given
at the town hall, at which Rt Hon.
George j. Goshen, first lord of the ad-
miralty presided, and the officers of

which was just leaving Fort Gibson
when the trouble occurred, joined with
Indian Inspector Mclaughlin, who Is
supervising the payment, in wiring the
following to Secretary Bliss:
Considerable excitement exists among the
negroes account of arrests made by the
United States marshals. Negroes are armed
and are threatening to attack the marshals.
The troops here are able to cope with the
situation and preserve peace. If the COM
mander has not authority to patrol the town
and to exercise control over the excited
negroes, serious trouble may occur. The
presence and action Of the military this even
ing alone prevented boodshed.
The following telegram, dated at Fort
Gibson late last night, also was re-
ceived from Inspector EMcLaughlin:
Agent Wisdom disbursed $14211 Of the

shots were fired by some persons in the
crowd, thought to have been directed at
deputy marshals. No person was injured eX-

siderable excitement prevailed for time
but soon subsided, and no further trouble
is apprehended. Mclaughlin, Inspector.

stroke to thirty-four, and shot past
the judges boat every man as fresh ap-
parently, as when he started, and, as
if not satisfied with their wonderful
exhibition, rowed for a quarter Of a
mile down the river, first giving three
rousing cheers to the man who had
coached them to victory, Charles e.

Ten seconds after Cornell, Yale cross

when Boardman, stroke, fell back off
his seat. Wrightington, at No. 8, and
j. F. Perkins, at No. 5, also lost their
cars and their companions commenced
to splash water over them. In the
meantime, Goodrich, captain, was try
ing to raise Boardman, but was too
weak, and the coXSWain was throwing
water over the two. After a long wait
for their launch, which could not get
through the crowd of various craft that
seemed to come from everywhere at
once, the men were reached and taken
to their quarters.
After the race, the Cornell men were
taken on board their launch, which
steamed proudly across to the boat
house, where a crowd Of 1000 men.

were waving flags, handkerchiefs and
pieces of bunting. The oarsmen had to
fairly fight their way through the mob

were surrounded by undergraduates,
and the enthusiasm knew no bounds
Courtney and his men were overwhelm-
ed by telegi ans of congratulations from
all parts of the country this evening
There could be no relaxation in the
training Of the crew, as their superb
condition must be maintained for the
race with Pennsylvania and Columbia,
so the men sat down to the training
table at $50 p. M, as though they had

Cornell employed her trained-down
muscle, without beef, in a leisurely, con-
fident manner that pulled her at every
stroke toward victory.
WEIGHT DID NOT TELL.
It was a singular coincidence that
the English-train crew, Harvard,
pursued exactly the same method as to
the number of strokes per minute as
did the winning crew, and, although
they weighed on an average ten pounds
heavier than CornelPs men, that eX-
ira weight told for nothing, and, either
from too much "fineness'' in training or
lack of ability to pull the stroke set
for them, they were practically dead
after the second mile.
1t is also curious to note that Cornell
pulled exactly the same kind of stroke
and the same number of strokes to the
minute, that she pulled last year, when
she won in record breaking time, and
that Harvard, while advertising that
she had entirely new methods, was de-
feated in exactly the same manner that
defeat met her last year. Briefly, the
result Of today's race Is that Cornell
asserts her superiority in rowing,
method of training and capability over
the two larger universities, and she
still holds the record for intercollegiate
eights Of nineteen minutes twenty nine
seconds, which she made last year.
The race was one of the most brilliant
in the history Of aquatics in this coun-
try. The crews started with a stroke
of thirty-two for Cornell, and thirty
six for Harvard and Yale Harvard
| gained a slight advantage over the
| others at the start and the usual note
| of jubilation went up from the Harvard
adherents. 1t was apparent within the
| first quarter-mile, that the Cornell crew
was using the same methods that took
| them on to victory last year-that OF
| q slow and telling stroke that would
wear out their opponents. The boats
travelled swiftly, although it was easily
| noticeable that the tide was at a slack
| and that the conditions did not favor
record-breakfng.

Much.i In Evidence.

ITHACA, N. Y, June 25.-This was
jubilee day in Ithaca. The Cornell
crews have had many victories, but
none so popular as today's triumph
over Yale and Harvard. When the
news came that Cornell had signally
defeated both Yale and Harvard, the
scene in the streets was almost beyond
description. Students embraced each
other, and professors forgot their dig
nifty as they cheered and flung their
hats in the air. In an Incredibly short
time the business houses on the pril-
cipal streets Of the city were decorated
with the red and white of Cornell, and
as the ringing of bells spread the news
all over the city. Private residences
were hastily decorated with American
flags and the Cornell coiors. The stu
dents and Ithaca citizens secured a
band tonight and paraaed the streets
of the city Soon after the result of
the race was known, cannon began
to boom in various parts of the city,

rear until after the first quarter of a
mile, while Harvard and Cornell fought
1t out. Cornell forged to the front be-
fore the end of the first mile was reach
ed. Harvard struggled valiantly, but
before the end of the mile and a half
was in the rear of Yale. Cornell went
on with that easy swinging stroke lit
tie -Colson in the coXswains box eau
tioning theun not to run away with it.
Harvard acting under the instructions
OF their training master, used at many
points the same stroke as to numbers,
but it seemed to have little effect, the
boat of Cornell running away from
Harvard.
At the two-mile point the Yale crew
were going away from Harvard, and
the latter seemed unable to prevent it,
although they were rowing away at
the long thirty-tWo stroke that had
been predicted a winning one. After
Yale got away from Harvard She
turned her attention to Cornell, and
just beyond the second mile made a
desperate squirt to catch the slim
youngsters. Never for a moment did
the young whites -shirted lads from Cor
nell get ratified. Backward and for
ward went the sweeps with a rythmical
motion and powerful swing that was
surprising to watch. The weighty
youngsters from Yale used every
pound of leverage on the end of the
oar, but they could not bring their
boat alongside of the swiftly moving
craft of the Cornell boys
The Harvard men were rowing in Il
very weak fashion during this next
mile, and it was evident that they
were thoroughly used up. At the
bridge, the coXswain Of the Harvard
crew had to give the Harvard stroke
a little water in his face, and for a
moment, under the reviving influence,
the boat swung along at a goodly paca
they passed under the big bridge the
stroke began to give way. Cornell
was rowing at thirty-two and Yale
was working away at thirty-three and
thirty-four and evidently tired.
Before they reached the third mile
post, Yale had begun to squirt and the
eight powerful representatives of Old
Ellis muscle and stamina bent to their
work with a wonderful exhibitio Of
sheer will power, for their strength
was gone. For a period of perhaps
three minutes the dying struggle OF
the giants lasted and they gained a
little on the flying leaders, and poor
old Harvard, with nearly every man
exhausted, clung with the tenacity OF
bulldogs in the wake of her old-tinle
rivals.
HOPELESS STRUGGLE.
But it was a hopeless struggle and
surely and steadily the flying repre-
sentatives of the red and white never
changing their steady stroke Of thirty
two to the minute, drew away as II
they were enjoying an afternoon spin
instead of participating in contest
that will go down in history as the
greatest race ever witnessed in Ameri-
can waters.
al,.o1 o;ct,
was seen that the Harvard eight were
nearly to a man, in difficulties, while
several of the Yale men were flying
signals of distress. Then the Cornell
crew, as if in mockery at the discoCn-
future of their rivals, increased theil
