guilty by advice of his counsel, the idea
being Co afford an opportunity for the in

POughkeepsie the Place. i

Captain Phil Bailey of the Yale crew
yesterday admitted what has been
rumored for several days, that il is settled
that tho Yale Harvard Cornell varsity
crew race will be rowed at Poughkccpso
He said that under the circumstances that
was really the only practicable place.
Manager Wheelwright of the lalo crew
went TO Poughkeepsie Wednesday 10 ar
range for quarters for the crew while in
training there, Ho has not yet returned
Captain Bailey said that Yale has writ
ten to the University of Wisconsin de-
clining the proposition to row the Western
college mt New London, and stating that
Yale can row Wisconsin only on Wedncs
day, May 20, or Saturday, May 20. Captain
Bailey said that the rough water of the
past week had prevented the Yale oars
men from taking single long spin.
Yale's original suggestion was that the
race should be rowed ON Lake Salstonstall,
and she asked the favor that the freshman
crew be allowed Co compete. Wisconsin
wanted TO row at New London and OBJ
jected to letting the freshmen in. Wis
consin may still row Yale and then meet
Columbia.
Francis ;. Bangs, who Is chairman of
the joint regatta committee of the col
leges whose crews are to row over the
poughkeepsie course, said that the com
mittee Is waiting Co be informed 10y the
Poughkeepse committee of the cost of
quarters for each crew. When this has
been satisfactorily settled the regatta
committeec will complete final arrange
ments for the races.

Sullivan May Box Mace.

There is a proposition on foot 20 ar
range six round boxing match between
ex- Champion John L.. sullivan and ex-
Champion Jem Mace, To take place before
the kaleidoscope. In no sense will IL be
"A fight, but IL is believed that "a fast.
clever "go" between these two most
famous boxers Of America and England
would make IA picture that people would
go Co see.
Mace and Frank V. Dunn, manager Of
John l.. sullivan, had meeting last
night, and arrived at preliminary
understanding. Mace had arranged TO
leave for England on Saturday with Dan
Creedon, but will probably remain over
for this business enterprise.
1t is not unlikely that Mace will be
selected as the sparring partner OF Sulli-
van in his prospective European boxing
trip next summer, and that no VIII pre-
pare him for match with titzSimlnons,
i'm case sullivan succeeds in getting on
match with the present champion.
What chance would Sullivan have
with FitZsimmonsy" was asked by a
Herald man of Mace last night.
Il think that, properly trained, he
could whip him. Why notg He Is not an
old man. He has the body, the muscles
and the strength. sullivan has something
to train ON, which Corbett did not have.
As for his being too old TO fight, that Is
all nonsense. | fought one of my greatest
battles with Tom Allen when i was his
age and so did Joe Goss.
why, sullivan is only i'm his prime.
The long rest that he has had has done
him good He Is just in condition 10

and fit him to fight Fitzsimmons in the
years time that is specified.
II think that | can train him as no one
else can Certainly | know all the tricks
of the trade. and ann sure that sullivan
will pay attention 10 me when no might
not TO any ono else As for Sullivan be-
ing too old TO fight, that's all nonsense.
I'm 66 years Of age, and can fight IA bit,
II necessary.
Mace's words as 60 his condition WAS
vouched for by his appearance. He
seemed hale and hearty ms u man of half
his years He left for New York at mid
night
Mr.. Dunn was very much impressed
with Mace's statement that he could put
sullivan in condition, and il is very
likely that arrangements Will he made
tending toward that end. Mr.. Dunn is in
dead earnest about Sullivan fighting
Fitzsimmons, and he had the satisfaction
of calling two different parties down
with $1,000 bill who started to give him
the laugh. At the sight Of the money
they shut up.

Snapped--Shot in the Side.

Stamford, Conn, April 23 Samuel
Scoville, well known athlete at Yale
was wounded early this morning by a
burglar whom he detected at work. Mr.
Scoyille, who is grandson Of the late
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, lives with his
father, Rev Samuel Scoville, on South
street. The young man awoke shortly
before o'clock and saw man with his
back turned toward him, at work near u
dressing case. 1t is the custom OF Mr..
Scoville to take long walks before retir-
ing at night and ne carries with him a
revolver on such occasions. 1t happened
that the weapon had been left on table
near his bed. Accordingly upon dis
covering the burglar Mr.. Scoyille reached
for the revolver The intruder heard
him and turned The latter also was
armed. Mr.. Scoville snapped his revolver,
but it failed To go off, and the burglar,
leaning over the foot of the led, dis
charged his weapon. ana 33-callDcr
bullet entered tho body of MIR. Scoviile
under the arm, inflicting flesh wound.
Ihe fact that the missile had TO pene-
trato the bed clothes, probably saved tho
young mans life. Tho burglar then
started to escape, crying out as he ran,

untouched. A physician was immediately
