PRACTICE ON TIE THAMES.
Opposing Crews Get Their First Good
Look at Each Other.

Yale Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn,
June 16.-The Yale and Harvard crews
got their first good look at each other
this morning when both launches with
coaches and members of the crews
aboard We're on the river a large part
of the morning following the crews of
the opposing universities in their prac-
tice. While the Yale men were enabled
to get close enough to form some esti-
mate of the Harvard eight, the coaches
and others on the Harvard launch We're
even more fortunate as the coaches on
the Yale launch afforded every opportun-
ity to the Harvard men to follow the
Yale eight in their work. This mornings
varsity work was confined to mile
pull against time followed by a number
of short stretches devoted to individual
coaching This evenings practice was
likewise somewhat brief. The crew
left the float at 6:45 O'Clock and pad
died down to the start Of the four mile
course. The water was in excellent
condition with the wind and tide favor
able and the men were sent a mile
stretch against time and although the
exact figures are not given out it is
known that the distance was covered in
less than $40. After short additional
pull further down the river the crew
turned around and came back to the
float In thre or four stretches. The
men are all well and are holding their
weight and the scales show the follow
ing; Williams stroke, 1872 pounds;
Niedicken, Z, III; Allen. 6, 1870; Brown
5, 100; Flint. 4, 1863; Griswold, 3, IT'S:
Wickes, 2, 16S; Greenleaf, bow, 170. The
average weight is 1721a pounds, and it
is the heaviest crew since '95. These
weights however will probably be re-
duced before the race

Edward Morrisey, farmer who lives
on the line of the New York road about
two miles from Orange Center, acciden-

the New Haven hospital, where it was
thought last night that his recovery was
extremely doubtful. Mr. Morrisey has
some cherry trees not far from his
house, and the crows have been picking
the cherries. Yesterday he decided to-
try shot at the birds which were taxi
ing his cherries, and placing his shot,
gun in wagon, in which were also
some bags Of feed which he wished to-.
take to neighboring farmer, he drove
by the cherry trees. Seeing some crows
in the trees he stopped his team and
reached for the shotgun. Grasping III
by the barrel he pulled the gun towards
him. AS he did so the trigger of the
gun caught in one of the bags and ex-
ploded the charge in the gun. The
charge of shot struck Mr.. Morrisey I'M
the upper right side Of the abdomen and
came out about the center of the front
of the abdomen. He called for help
and was heard by his brother, who hap
pened to be near by. The brother car
ried him to the house and came at once
to this city for the New Haven hospital
ambulance.

East streets, sent in the alarm.
A strong northeasterly wind was
blowing and carrying tongues of flames
and burning brands across the street
endangering the mill of the New Haven
Steam Saw Mill company, which is di-
recty across the street from the Stowe
property. When Chief Fancher arriv-

the saw mill he ordered the second
alarm sent in. In all five engines re-

cal No. /. A line Of hose was turned
upon the saw mill and it was this alone
which saved the saw mill from catching
fire and avoided a most disastrous fire.
