Germany Ableto Live In State of Assured
Peace.

Germany ADleto Live IN otaIe OF HSSuTeo
Peace.
Brunsbuttel, Prussia, June 18.-Em-
peror William distributed the prizes at
Elbe regatta today, and afterwards
dined on board the Fuerst Bismarck
with the owners of the competing
yachts.
In replying to a toast to his health.
his majesty referred to the advantages
of yachting, pointing out that it was a
sport Germans could cultivate because
Germany was liable to live in state
of assured peace"
I'VE can only do that" he said, "be-
cause we now stand on the basis won
for us by grandfather and father. We
know that the firm cooperation of
united Germany represents in the world
an invincible power, which has to be
reckoned with. The German people are
like a thoroughbred horse, which suf-
fers no one to bride him, but will main
tain the foremost place. May We with
all our strength continue, as hereto
fore, to march in the van. To that l
raise my glass"
Ruring the races the Meteor, which
was under the emperor's personal com
mand, went aground and had to be
towed off His majesty subsequently
sailed other yachts.
The Senta secured the emperor's and
the senate's prizes.

DAY OF RELAXATION.
Yale and Harvard Lay Upon Their Oars at
Gales Ferry,

0dt6S ToIIV
Gales Ferry, Conn, June 1S.-Today
has been one of Sunday relaxation for
both Harvard and Yale crews, with no
work whatever done by any of the
crews. The men were away from quar-
tiers a great part of the day and en-
joyed a delightful sail on the sound.
The change of scene, the complete rest
and the eXhilarating weather had |
most beneficial effect.
The Harvard crew and substitutes,
with Coach Storrow and few guests at
the quarters, went aboard the launch
Frank Thompson at 11.30 a. m. and
sailed to the Pequoit house, New Lon
don, where dinner was enjoyed. Mr..
Meikleham, who is to referee the race,
and Dr. Percy Balton of Yale, were
guests at dinner.
An hour or more was spent about the
Pequoit at the conclusion of the din
ner after which trip was made in
the launch to Fishers Island and then
back to quarters. The evening was
spent in light diversions. G. 8. Mum
ford, 'S7, is expected early in the week
to assist Coach Storrow.
Several members of the Yale varsity
crew went down to New London this
morning and some went to church,
While others continued to the Pequoit.
This afternoon they were all taken
aboard Mr.. McKee's steam yacht and
treated to a sail on the sound as far as
Montauk Point.
Afternoon tea was served aboard the
yacht and the men returned shortly be-
fore o'clock in excellent condition to
sit down to dinner. The railroad COM
pany has arranged. commencing Mon
day. that the trains leaving New Lon
don at $50 a. m. and $50 p. M, will
stop with passengers for the Harvard
quarters and returning at 9.27 a. m. and
9.57 p. m. will stop for passengers when
the train is tagged.

HARVARD SENIORS.
Rev. Samuel NJ Crothers
Preached the Annual
Baccalaureate.

Cambridge, June 1S.-Rev. Samuel M.
Crothers of the First Parish church.,
Cambridge, delivered the baccalaureate
sermon before the senior class of Har-
ward university this afternoon in APP
pleton chapel, using Isaiah iii:2, as his
text. Mr., Crothers said in part:
AS you reach the end Of your COL
lege course, the question comes, what
does it all amount to? The question has
come before, but in the little world Of
the college 1t has been possible to evade
it. What are you worth? Has your edu-
cation fitted or untitled you for the
work which you must do? For we must
frankly admit that education does
sometimes unfit a man for common
life without raising him to the plane
of the uncommon.
In all sorts of social service the unit
is the man power, as the horse power
in mechanics. Certain human powers
can be substituted for by machinery
and books, but there are others that
are exclusively human. Further, the
kind of human power that is necessary
to any worthy achievement, is moral
power, which guides and rules the
world.
There are no substitutes for common
sense, patience, integrity, courage. But
it is the function of education to trans
form narrow and intolerant virtue
into one that is broad and intelligent.
Conscience must always rule.
We have a right to demand of the
educated man that he shall bring TO
the discussion Of the complex questions
of modern civiligzation, a mind so dis
ciplined as to bring order out of chaos.
Modern life makes larger demands
upon the individual and requires a more
strenuous training; but this training is
merely the bringing to the fullest per-
lection the manly qualities of truthful
ness, courage, steadfastness and 10y
altV.

THE ATHLETES NAMED.
Captain Fisher Gives Out List for Training
for Oxford Events.

New Haven, June 1S.-In preparation
for the international college athletic
meet between Harvard and Yale ath-
letes and representatives of oxford and
Cambridge universities, Capt Fisher
has given notice to the following-named
Yale athletes that they have been
chosen to make up the training table
which will begin on Tuesday. They
are:
F. A. Bount, 1900; Dixon Boardman,
1902; r. Fisher, '99, s.; w. D. Bren-
nan, 1900, S. sprinters and short dis
lance runners; ]. P. Adams, 1900; c.
B. Splitter, SO, and H. P. Smith, 1900,
long-distance runners; e. c. Waller,
'99, s., high jump; w. NJ. Fincke, 1901,
S., and c. K. Palmer, '99, s., hurdles;
Charles Dupee. 1901, in the 1Oo-yard
dash.
While not conclusive evidence that
these men will form the Yale contin-
gent in the American team, It seems
that they are regarded as the most
promising and the coterie Of talent from
which the successful ones will be ia
ken.

IN A SMALL BOAT.
Howard Blackburn Starts on An Adventu-
rous Trip Across the Atlantic.

Gloucester, Mass, June 1s.-Under
escort Of the Gloucester Yacht Club
and a fleet of nearly 100 yachts, How
ard Blackburn of this city, set sail
alone this afternoon, in his little
sloop-rigged, four-ton boat, the Great
Western, on his adventurous trip
across the Atlantic.
Blackburn followed a seafaring life
on Gloucester fishing vessels for many
years, and in January, 1888, was cast
away in his dory on Grand Banks,
with one companion for five days,
without food or water. His compan-
ion died but Blackburn was rescued,
although he lost his fingers and toes
and was otherwise crippled as the re-
suit of his terrible experiences.
Two years ago he organized an expe-
dition to the Klondike. His present trip
is taken purely for adventure. The
Great Western is stocked with provis
ions for ninety days, and Gloucester,
England, is the point at which he ex-
poets to land first

FIRST DAILY WAS WRITTEN.
LondOn's Earliest Newspaper Was In
the Manuscript of It's Cor

1t has been discovered that what NAV
be called tie first daily newspaper was
manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded to them
every 81 .:OuI'> from London to the prov
inces. That vas in the days of the early
Stuarts..
During the commonwealth these Lon
don letters were printed in type and
circulated in large numbers. Even so
long ago as 1850 the law of libel was
such as to be characterized by Judge
Scroggs as making any newspaper pub
LEGATION illegal and tending to provoke
breach of the peace.
Defoe, the author of Robinson
Crusoe," was one of the early Journal
lists, his paper being called the Review.
Then there was Tutchin, whose weekly
publication, the Observer, cost, accord
ing to evidence he gave in a court of
justice, half a guinea to print, though
the typesetter evidently raised his price
to 20 shillings. The Observer had a GER
tilted circulation of 266 copies.
Afterward there came the Grants,
Steele, Addison and Johnson, who
might have lived in the vicinity of
Grubb street, but were court favorites
for all that.
The Times employed the first foreign
correspondent in the person of Henry
Crabb Robinson, and succeeded in
'scooping" the government itself in the
news. of the battle of Waterloo.
