New York, May An enthusiastic
gathering of lovers of thoroughbreds to-
day saw A. H. and d. H. Morris's Bowl

of eight rivals for the first rich handicap
of the season. This was the popular Me
tropolitan, which opened the Spring meet
ing of the Westchester Racing Associa-
ton with appropriate eclat The big
event was run over the Withers Mile
and for the second successive time since
the route was reduced to a mile, the
struggle for the coveted prize was reduced
toward the end to a duel between three
year-olds. Bowling Brook won in gallant
style by clear length from George Keen.
August Belmonts's four-year-old Octa-
gon was in third place, a length away
The track was sloppy from the effect of
recent rains, which eXtinguished all hopes
of a fast performance.
Starter Fitzgerald took the field in hand

order after fifteen minutes fencing at
the barrier. Imperator was quickest in
his stride and showed the way to Octa-

The HaInine BOat.

New York, May THE Halpine torpedo
boat lies in the shed at the long dock at
Willets Point all ready for her trial trip
before the engineer officers who are TO
pass judgment upon her. She has been
overhauled and put in order during the
last two weeks. Her storage batteries
were placed on board today and she
stands ready for service
She is built of copper, "a feet long and
feet IN diameter. The body of the boat
is cylindrical in form. Her bow has the
shape of semi-ellipsoidaI, while her
stern has the shape of a cone. The su-
perior merits claimed for her by her in
ventor, Lieutenant Halpine, formerly of
the United States Navy, is that she has
the power to shoot her charge can under
warshiD that has a torpedo net out :
that she carries her propellng power
aboard of her in storage batteries and does
not need dynamo on land, and that she
is marvel of simplicity
She can be handled from any point
ana, II necessary, she can tow a small
boat after her, in which the operator can
sit at distance of l-2 miles, and direct
her movements. She can run l2 miles
ana be started, stopped and backed bv
only pressing a small button. There are
TWO wire cables, each 1-2 miles in length
ABOARD which uncoil and connect her with
the operator. One of the cables controls
the boat while the other steers her.
She carries two lights, which reflect
thelr lights backward. so they are seen
by the operator only and not the hos
tile ship, keeping the operator informed
as To the actions of the boat If one is
above the other she is going ahead II
sideways. she is making for the stern or
bow of a warship. No light the boat
has stopped. She runs with but three
inches showing above water, but can be
submerged to fifteen feet
Extending from her bow is a long spar.
with two arms extended. Extended again
from these is a steel harpoon. with two
arms lying fat. The harpoon is forced
through the net, the arms. unloosened.
spring up on the inside OF the net and
keep it fastened there. The open arms
OF the spar strike the net on the out
side and drive the spar back into the
boat, which strikes the tripper The can
falls and is swung under the vessel to
be destroyed by the action of the chain
Al the same time the leather can is
torn off the tube of the charge can. This
action lets ont the potassium, which. on
meeting with the water. ignites the rock
ct, eXpelling the gas in the can and ex-
ploding the charge can.
Meanwhile the boat Itself has been
backed out of danger. and returns TO the
operator only minus a harpoon chain and
can. The speed of the Halpine IS nine
teen knots an hour.

AN INTERESTING DEBATE.
Georgetown University Students De-
eide Momentous Question.

The last of the series of public debates by the
members Of the debating society OF the law de-
partmont of the Georgetown University was held
last evening. The subject discussed was one in
which everyone is deeply interested, and the
arguments on either side were instructive The
debaters, however, lost no opportunity 10 in
tercept references to Admiral Dewey and the
glory of the Stars and Stripes into speeches
whenever American patriotism and the freedom
Of the people could be brought to bear on the
question under consideration. These references
were all loudly applauded and responded to with
cries of What's the matter with Dewey
The subject for debate was: Resolved, That
the railroads OF the United States should be
owned and controlled by the Federal government
and the debaters were: Affirmative W. Gil
mer Dunn OF Virginia. David b. Perry of North
Carolina. Negative, Aubrey Lanston, District of
Columbia; ]. Merrick Frere, of Maryland.
The gentlemen who presented the arguments
for the affirmative maintained that great rail-
road systems of the country are so interviewer as
to require governmental control; and, in sup
port of this quoted Mr. Justice Brown, OF the
United States Supreme Court, and VIM. Jennings
Bryan, the reference to the latter being greeted
with tremendous applause. 1t was also claimed
that in other countries wAAre governmental
ownership was in vogue the roads operated
with profit TO the Government, convenience aud
cheapness TO the people and best of all Strikes
were never heard Of
Mr.. Perry, who concluded the argument said
that it was crying shame that railroad mag
nate, Chauncey Depew, should be paid larger
salary than the Chief Executive of the greatest
country on the face of the earth, whose flag
had never trailed in the dust. Notwithstanding
this, however. he said that within twenty -four
hours possibly American patriotism would place
1t over MORO Castle and that Cuba will be free
The gentlemen for the negative contended that
the governmental ownership of railroads would
plunge the United States into debt and would
naturally have to be extended to street railways,
express companies and even to the steel and iron
industries of the country. Aside from this they
denounced it as a populistic scheme
The judges, II. W. Cassie Robert E. Lee, and
Myles Fuller, after consultation, rendered the de
cision in favor OF the affirmative.
