Too Late.
PRINCETON, May 15.-The FIRST gamo of tho
intercollegiate championship series was played
this afternoon on tho Princeton varsity field be-
tween Harvard and Princeton, and was won by
tho Princeton team by n score of Q to 8. Tho
weather was all that could DO desired for good
baseball, and the diamond was in perfect condi-
ton. A typical college crowd Of $500 persons
witnessed the contest. Ex-President and Mrs.
Cleveland, with Col. and Mrs. J. J. McCook of
New York, occupied a box in tho front Of the
grand stand.
The game was remarkable for the plucky up.
hill play of the Harvard nine in the last
inning. With the score six to nothing in Prince
toms favor, the visitors went to the bat, but only
for Smiths pretty stop of Deans line hit they
might have tied the score and even won the
game. Wilson pitched pretty ball throughout.
Up to the ninth inning not q Harvard batsman
reached third base, and only two hits were made
Off Wilson's delivery.
Princeton's infeld, at critical times. put up a
very ragged game. Butler at shortstop being es-
pecially e~rratic. Harvard men outplaycd tho
Tigers in the field. but their inability to hit cost
them the Ramo.
Princeton scored one In. tho first inning and
again In the fourth. In the fifth, inning Paine
weakened, slightly and the Tigers punched their
and two bases on balls. Melted Princeton four
runs. In the eighth inning. with Dean on first
and two out, Altman's wonderful catch of
Chambers long hit shut Harvard out Of two
runs. Paine, the first man UP for Harvard, in
one to Butler and It looked like q double play,
but Smith dropped tho throw and both men
were safe.
Right hero the Tigers went to pieces. Haugh-
ton hit safely, and with the bases full Wilson
struck out Beale. Scannell hit to Butler, and
time Butler. threw wild, and both Paine and
Rand crossed the plate. Stevenson forced Scan

and Haughton scored. Wilson hit Burgess,

Of the river were crowds of people gathered to
witness the racing.
1t was n perfect day for such an event. There

day was perfect for racing, though 1t was thought
in the morning rough weather and heavy swells
would cause q change In the programme.
Prof. Wheeler OF Cornell was judge for tho
varsity crew and Commander r.. I.
Jasper for tho cadets. Col. Charles Frances Of
Troy was referee. Many strangers saw the con-
test; Some remained over to enjoy the prom;

steam yachts were In the harbor and followed
the boats over the course. The family of Gov.
Lowndes Of Maryland went over the course in q
State boat.
The cadets, while pulling q good oar, were
completely outclassed by the visitors. Coach
Courtney stated in the morning that with still
water the Cornell crew would win. The result
shows he was correct, The strokes of both crews
were complimented on their work.

Unravorable Opening or RnGIand's Yachting
Season.

LONDON, May 15.-The yachting season. which
opened with the races of the Royal Thames
Yacht Club to-day. began under unfavorable
conditions, tho small number of participants
making the sport very dull. w. II. Walkers
Caress and the German Emperor's Meteor were
the only big boats out. and there were no entries
Of twenty-raters. The Prince of Wales's Britain
MIA and A. Barclay Walkers Ailsa are out OF

and the strike OF the employees In the South
boats which were Intended to be ready to start
to-day.
The only race was between the Meteor and
the Caress, which sailed over the course from
Southend to Harwick. The Meteor won.
