INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES.
of Bowdoin Wins Heat In
22O Yard Run.

New York, May 25.-The Inter -collegi-
ate amateur athletic championship games
were begun today on Columbia field
(Which was formerly known as Manhat-
tan field) before a meagre crowd Of spec
tators Tand under weather conditions
which were anything but promising for
good afternoon sport. The cinder track
was soggy and fully two-ffths of sec
ond slow, and the in-field was practically
a quagmire. Taking everything into con-
sideration, the results of the afternoons S
trials were more satisfactory than could
have been expected and the finals tomor-
row should bring about some of the most
exciting finishes ever seen in the history
of amateur athletics.
Pennsylvania gathered in enough po-
sitions to warrant prediction of victory
for the Red and Blue striped athletes to-
morrow. Their supremacy can be attrib-
uted TO the prowess of A. G.. kraenzlein
who qualified in four events and has a
big possibility of scoring first honors in
the finals OF three out of four of these
events. He was running nicely In the one
hundred yard dash and in the broad jump
he was to the fore, his closest competitor
being Prinstein OF Syracuse, and it is
unnecessary to add that he romped home
In his trials over the high and low hur-
dies.
In the one hundred yard dash Jarvis of
Princeton, seems TO be the only stumb
ling block In the way OF kraenzlein scor-
ing four winning brackets in the finals
tomorrow afternoon.
Prinstein of Syracuse will have hot
argument with the Pennsylvania for
broad jumping honor, but Judging from
the exhibition made by both men today,
the odds are in favor of the Quaker rep
resentative winning out. Two inter-col-
legiate records We're broken in the trials
and IL Is just possible that with good
weather and dry track, other records
may go by the board tomorrow.
The records that were smashed today
were made by the heavy weight division,
and one Of them for short time was dis
puted. In the shot put, f. Beck Of
Yale, created a new intercollegiate rec
ord OF forty four feet three inches, the best
previous one being held by j. @. Nc
Cracken of Pennsylvania, whose throw
was forty-three feet, eight and one-half
inches, which he made last year. In the
hammer throwing contests, A. Plaw of
California, took the honors by throwing
the missile 154 feet, 1-2 inches, which
beat the previous record held by j. G.
McCracken of Pennsylvania by several
feet and the collegiate record. also held
ly McCracken, by nine and one-half
inches.
OF the Bowdoin men III. j. Hunt of
Bowdoip was third in the 100 yard hurdles
and II. Fl. Cloudman won the sixth heat
In the go yard run.

STEYN AT VELDE.
AMERICAN UNITARIANS.
President Hyde One OF Speakers at
Final Meeting Last Evening.

Boston, May 25.--The anniversary week
of American Unitarianism, which brough
together in this city ministerial and lay
delegates from parishes in all parts of
the country, closed tonight with an Inn
pressiye service in fremont Temple, and
the enthusiasm which imbued the great
audience told of the inspiration drunk
in during the many sessions throughout
the last seven days. Most Of the dele
gates will tarry yet a day and see little
of the social side of New England life
and its many picturesque places, and on
Sunday the more distinguished among
the clergymen will occupy the chief Uni
tartan pulpits in the East.
At' the closing meeting this evening,
President Eliot Introduced President W.
ID. Hyde of Bowdoin college, whose topic
was The lntegration Of Christian
Faith"
Evolution" f" he said, proceeds by sue
cessive stages of differentiation and in
tegration. The close of the 18th century
marks the climax of religious differen-
tiation. This differentiation has brought
both loss and gain. When the church of
England came out from Catholicism
it lost something. When the Congrega-
tionalsts came out Of the church of En- e
HtilAis Niitl tbot liuNlt- W Ath NAlC
ans came out from the Congregationalists
they of course lost more. Yet in uni
versatility the Church Of England gained
nationality. In losing nationality the
Congregationalists gained Individuality
In losing the orthodoxy of their way,
Unitarians gained the priceless pearl Of
perfect intellectual liberty. Your gain
OF liberty has been blessing to us all;
especially to the Congregationalist from
whom you went forth. For Oh fact
that we Congregationalists have today
sufficient not only to do our own think
ing unmolested, but to shelter refugees
from Presbyterian and other folds, is
chiefly due TO the influence and ex-
amples Of the brave Unitarians in the
early part of the century, who broke
their fetters with which even the sons Of the
Puritaps were oonsenting to be bound
and in fev6tence and sincerity and sacri
flee founded the association whose 10th
anniversary we celebrate today.
Liberty. however, is the condition,
not the conclusion Of your spiritual mis-
SION. You haye cut out the trees, pulled
up the stph9pk, hauled OF the rocks that
allied the 19rtile fields of New England
theology At the beginning of the century
and TO have cleared the ground 80 well
OF these distractions in % years work
Of which you may well be proud. The

terraces Of the cemetery, while in a small
space about the fiagpole seats were place
for tho President and other invited
guests. General Butterfleld occupied a
bench next TO the President and opposite
them were ranged the members Of the Ma
sonic lodge under whose auspices the
stone was to be laid. BY happy coinci-
dence this was fredericksburg lodge No.
4, Of which George Washington was n
member. Behind the Masons was grouped
the full marine band. The ceremonies
were opened by the band with Nearer
My God to Thee In which all the audi
ence joined. The stone was annointed in
due Masonic order and lowered into place
after which Col. Hill in a brief speech
committed the monument to the care ~of
the national government.
Secretary Root In replying said:
ION behalf Of the government of the
United States, 1 accept this memorial,
/ receive 1t into the tender and rev
erent care which the people OF the United
States have decreed by their laws to be
forever maintained over the sacred re-
mains Of the men who died that our ma
tiop might forever live undivided.
He continued with touching reference
OF the heroIsm an d sacrifice Of both the
Fetlerals and Confederates who contested
the field of fredericksburg and conclud-
HMay God grant that in the ever wild
ening and beneficent mission OF our
country, each coming year through the
efforts OF your successors, may lay fresh
crown Of laurels upon the graves of the
men of that great struggle In which was
builded the firm and everlasting fabric Of
American character and American pa
triotism.
At the close Of the ceremonies the Pres
idential party returned TO Washington
but the reunion exercises of the Society Of
the Potomac continued at night in the
opera house where addresses were mad, by
a number of veterans, including General
Joe Wheeler. Other speakers at the
night exercises were Generals McMahon,
Miles, Brooke, Sickles Tremaine, Rug
giles, Ex-Governor O'Farrel IL. X. Doug
lass, Theodore Garnett, Corporal Tanner
and General Lomax.

London, May 25.-Serious trouble Ii
threatening between the British and
French residents of St. Heliers island
of Jersey, owing TO the pro Boer attitude
of the latter. There have been several
collisions and this morning the troops
were forced to charge with fixed bayo-

task has been done 10 thoroughly that
little remains to be done in that direc-
tion.
Your task for the next quarter Of n
century must be constructive seed-sOw-
ing; If at the end Of your first century
you are to reap the harvest we all expect
from you the harvest Of a reasoned body
Of spiritual truth in which every fact Of
science, every result Of criticism, every
insight Of philosophy, every imperative
experience of life which bears on mans
spiritual problem shall be set forth IN
clear, rational relations, and made so
plain that every devout and earnest soul
can see its transparent reasonableness
and feel its moral authority, and own its
heavenly sway"

British Moving Swiftly
Forward.
Next Despatch May De Dated on
TransVaal Frontier.
Roberts May Cross To-
day or Sunday.
Movements of Beers EnvelOped
in Mystery.

London, May $3.50 a. m.-The lat
est intelligence from Lord Roberts 5
headquarters at vredefort station, filed
Thursday, 54 p. m, was that the Brit
ish were rapidly advancing. Gen. Hamil-
ton had effected junction with Lord
Roberts. The country in front Of them
was clear of Beers to Vilioen's drift.
The Beers were evacuating all their po-
sitions south Of the Vaal river, and 5000
had already crossed to the north bank.
Probably Gen. Frenchs cavalry Is al
ready reconnoitering the fords Of the
Vaal.
War Office observers expect that the
next despatch from the field marshal will
be dated In sight of the Transyaal from
tier.
Mr.. Bennett Burleigh, wiring to the
Daily Teleg raph, from Vredefort, Thurs
day evening, says Lord Roberts would
doubtless cross the Vaal Saturday or sun
day. The British outposts were then at
Erste Geluk, nine miles north of Vrede
fort, and 20 miles south of the Vaal river.
The railway Is much damaged
While the British in overwhelming
force are thus rapidly approaching the
Transvaal, the movements of the Beers
are enveloped in mystery. The last Pre-
toria newspaper to reach LourenZo Mar
ques was week old.
Everyone seeking to cross the Por tu-
guese border from the Transyaal is
searched for newspapers and letters. De
spatches and mail letters containing even
harmless references to the war are sup
pressed and the only news that has
emerged from the Transvaal during the
last ten days has come by word Of mouth.
ANOTHER ADVANCE.
London, May [25.--Another advance
along thr railroad towards Pretoria has
brought Lord Roberts troops 20 Nred-
fort road, few miles north of Prospect,
where they arrived at noon on Thursday.
In the meanwhile General Methuen is
progressing along the southern bank of
the Naal river, with the object, possibly,
of making q dash at klerksdorp when he
arrives opposite that railroad.
General Hutton 5 column is apparently
in the neighborhood of Vredfort, teen
miles west of the railroad, whence 1t
threatens the federals' right flank.
