IAN AMERICAN HENLEY"
Mr. Lehman COrrects Impression Re-
EnrdinG EES IiSh Instifutinn

MI Lehman. the English oarsman. who
Is coaching the Harvard University crews
mas made the following statement regard
ihS the characteristics of the Royal Hen
ley regatta. and the subject of the estab-
ilshment of an American Henley:
Inose who speak of an American Hen
ley 90 not appear TO me TO understand
quite what our English Henley is. The re-
gatta in England is not held in connection
with any collegiate association or any sne-
cial body of affiliated clubs Subiect to the
amateur definition, the big events for
eShts, tours, pairs and singles are open
TO the whole world. The colleges (but not
the university boat clubs) of Oxford and
Cambridge compete at Henley So does the
Leander Club, which is formed almost en-
tirely OF oxford and Cambridge men,
Amongst other competitors may be men
toned the London Rowing Club the
Thames Rowing Club. the Kingston Row
ing Club. the Mosley Boat Club, the Roval
chester Rowing Club and the school boy
Clubs OF Elton and Radley. The course is
one mile and five hundred and tifty wards
In length, ard the water is non-tidaI The
level OF the water is therefore, during the
regatta, unvarying. and the direction Of the
stream Is always the same.
The race between Oxford and Cambridge
over the tidal course from Putney to Mort
lake -four and a quarter miles, is held Just
before Easter. The college races at oxford
al to"dfu the elu OIL May,
Cambridge in the lightning of June Hen
ley regatta usually begins about July o.
There is, therefore, plenty of time for col
leges which have been successful in their
local races to reform their crews and send
them to Henley. Those university men who
may not be rowing in college crew en-
tered at Henley can be, and often are,
drafted into the crews of the Leander, Lon
don, Thames or Kingston clubs
Though it would undoubtedly be posi-
bic to establish in this country a series of
college races which should result in bring
ing together the two best college crews of
the year over a four-mile course these
contests would not in any way resemble
Henley regatta. The nearest analogy to
our Henley would be brought about If, for
instance, the rowing colleges of America
were to enter crews at the annual regatta
Of the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen of America.
Il do not express. nor have I expressed,
any opinion as to the desira bilty of estab-
fishing an American Henley or a general
intercollegiate regatta. There are obvious
difficulties in the way, and not the least of
these Is the lack of any general desire
amongst American university men for the
establishment of such regatta"
Regarding the reports that the subject
was to be discussed at dinner of Harvard
men In this city, he said:
1.-The dinner at Washington on December
Is is a private dinner, and no intimation
has been given to me that the question of
ton of public interest in connection with
athletics will be brought forward for dis
cussion. Nor do 1 believe that any such
discussion will take place'

WHY CORNELL HOLDS OUT.
Wants to BE Assured of Other Race
Mt New Haven.

Wants to BE Assured of Other Races
mt New Haven.
The ale-Harvard-C Cornell boating situa-
ton is unchanged as a result of the meet
ing in Albany Wednesday of Captains
Whitney. Goodrich and Colson, and the
crews of the three universities are no
nearer to farther from race than
before. 1t looks very much as though the
final outcome will be that Cornell will
row at New London. The principal cry at
Cornell University at present is that no
matter what happens Cornell should give
a race to Pennsylvania. and it is the unani-
nous sentiment of the council also, so
that there is no question about there being
Cornell-Pennsylvania race the coming
season. Coach Courtney expressed himself
In emphatic terms on the subject of a race
with Pennsylvania, being heartily in favor
of it. even if Cornell has to row ten other
races.
Courtney. CornelTs coach. denied that he
is unalterably opposed to the New London
course. On the contrary. he likes it just
well as any other course that has a
rent. He contends that any course that has
current is an unfair course, but New Lon
don is as fair course for three miles as
can be found anywhere. What 1t is for
four miles he says is not known. He says:
AS l understand it, the objections of
Cornell to New London is the disadvan-
tage that Cornell will labor under as COM
pared with the advantages that Yale and
Harvard will have. The latter crews will
have their commodious quarters which
they have had for years, with everything
at their command. besides knowing every
thing relative to the tides and whims of
the river. If Cornell goes to New London
we lose for a week the most important part
OF our training season the use of our coach
ing launch. Then the men will be taken to
makeshift quarters on the river which
will have none of the accommodations pos
sessed by Yale and Harvard.
1T Is right here. it seems to me, that
the business of CornelI's request for an
agreement for other races comes in. If
Yale and Harvard would agree to admit
cornell to the race for the next four years
then Cornell would put up with the disad-
Eantages this year which, though small
perhaps might lead to her defeat, with the
outlook that she could retrieve herself in
the next races. If Cornell was assured of
race at New London for the next four
years she could start Immediately to per
rect permanent headquarters there thus
obViatinS the disadvantages spoken of. 1t
would not be reasonable to assume that
cornell would go to the expense of prepar-
ing permanent quarters just for one race
GU VIII See in these facts are good
reasons why Cornell is so anxious to ar
range Tor future races before agreeing 10
row al New London, and that it is not
prejudice against the course or the people
of that town, ti

Union Pacific Payment Turned Into
the Treasury.

The treasury receipts have been increased
by the 1881 401 SO paid several days ago on
the Union Pacific road. This payment re-
dUces the deficit to less than $50, 10000. Two
other payments of the same amount are to
be mace before the end of the month. to-
tai of s1I00O,00c. The 1st of January is ex-
pected to see the treasury deficit down to
a few million. but beginning with the new
year the government payments will be en-
Ormous. In January nearly s7,OO000O has
to be paid on quarterly interest, and all 9TH
or payments will be heavy.
1t will thus be seen that the estimated
deficit of $40 900 to $4,000 900 at the end
of June next. figured on by Secretary Gage

in six months, as there will be practically

COTTON CARGO ABLAZE.
Freight Steamer Pathnn Suffers a
Loss of $4,000 by Fire.

NEW YORK, December 1O.-Flames were
discovered today in the central hold of
the freight steamship Pathan of the Mo-
gul line. which was being loaded in North
river with cotton and railroad iron for
China. The fire was kept confined to the
GENITAL hold. There We're about 300 bales
of cotton in the hold. which were nearly
ruined by fire and water.
The damage is estimated at s15,9o0 The
crew, which consisted of about thirty Five

tional Park their work on the road GER
tainly took on yellow hue. and for this
reason alone the Senators can easily make
room for Jack Doyle.
AS to being a congenial lieutenant for
Captain Brown, fact that should not be
lost sight of is that Doyle wrote an earn
est letter to Mr. Wagner month or so
back, assuring the club owner that he
would like to play in Washington above all
other places. and that there would be no
trouble about Brown and himself working
in harmony.
Tom Brown is one of the shrewdest base
ball leaders in the country. and with a man
like Doyle to carry out his orders on the
field, there can be no question as to the
strength of the combination.

The solicitor of the treasury has rendered
an opinion that Cinnamon who failed to
register under the act of November g. 1893,
are not lawfully in this country, although
they may have registered under the act of
May 5. 1892. In an opinion rendered by At
torney General McKenna 1t is held that
Cinnamon who have been excluded from
the United States by collectors of customs
may be summarily excluded without process
of law in case of second attempted entry.

wren MI Wagner notified President Young
that he had accepted Mr.. HanIon's terms.
The exchange would no doubt have been
brought to happy conclusion Wednesday
nigh: but for the fact that a telegram rom
Mr.. Wagner to Mr.. Hanlon was delivered
at the latter's home in Baltimore while ne

In that message Mr.. Wagner said that he

There can be no question that the two

they have regulations for shrewdness sec
ond to none in the big league and a fear
that one will get the better of the other
is what is blocking negotiations On paper
the exchange looks to be all in favor of
the Washington club. but Mr. Wagner is
not relying on looks. He knows that De
Montreville and McJames are considered
stars in the base ball world and when he
gives them up he wants to be positive that
he receives their equivalent. The Wash
ington club has about eight pitchers under
reserve. but quantity does not count in
base ball, quality being the prime factor
Nopps has better reputation than Amole,
and Tom Brown is shrewd one when it
comes to placing a players ability and
should he conclude to take Amole 1t is
almost q circh bet that there is little be-
tween the two south paws, either way, as
TO ABILITY. The Washington club needs
good left-handed pitcher. and, from this
distance, it looks as il either man would
fill the bill acceptably.
