-Four Miles Covered In 1881
Minor HOnors Divided.

New London, Conn, June 2S.--Yale's
varsity crew won the great university
rowing event of the year in the last
half mile Of the four-mile course yes
terday by a scant two lengths.
The magnificent contest was wit
messed by thousands from observation
trains, yachts and points of vantage
along the banks.
To Yale also fell the honor of a vic
tory in the freshmen race, while Har-
ward tonight takes consolation in the
fact that her varsity four walked away
from the Yale quartet handsomely.
The two minor races, with honors
divided, served only to whet the ap,
petites of the spectators. These con
tests had resulted exactly as the ex.
perts had predicted and some 10000
people were impatient for the supreme
event of the regatta.

TWO LITTLE TRAVELLERS.

They Were Stray Lions and They
Wanted to Eat, Drink and Play.
Two hapess little lion cubs strayed
into Pittsburg last Saturday morning.
| with no food and no apparent owner.
| They were checked as baggage from
| Baltimore to Pittsburg. AS the owner
| failed to appear and claim them the
| youngsters were in about as bad a pre-
| dicament as the baggagemen about the
| Union station. Happily telegram was
received last night saying that the lions
| had been sent to Pittsburg by mistake
and that they should be returned to
Baltimore on the first train, which was
done half an hour later.
All day Saturday the cubs were with
out food or drink. The owner was ex-
pected every hour to come and take
them away Besides, no one knew what
to feed them, or how; and then, too,
the average baggageman Is not inclin-
ed to cultivate too close acquaintance
with strange lions that happen his way.
The lions were in wooden box that
had a small opening at one end. When
ever a bageageman peered in through
lIlP opening one VI IlOT1 lllllI paws Will
long sharp claws was thrust out at him.
The lions wanted to play, but the bag
eaeemen thought otherwise. OF course,
the lions We're not large enough to be
man killers but the baggagemen all
looked upon them with suspicion
But when Sunday morning came, and
with it no owner, the hearts of the bag
sagemen began to melt. The lions must
have something to eat and drink. Meat
was dropped into the box, little at q
time, which the cubs eagerly devoured
Water could not be given them so han
Oily. The box must be opened. Sew
eral of the stout-hearted Engagement
finally consented to do this. The box
was opened with the greatest care, but
not one of the lions showed any DISPOSE
lions to spring out at the throat Of a
baggageman. On the contrary. the cubs
appeared to be jolly and in a mood to
play. Friendship between them and the
baggagemen then grew fast.
IT was no time at all before the lions
We're sitting out on the floor of the bag
gage room eating meat and drinking
water from a pan. Soon the cubs were
playing like kittens on the floor near the
red-hot stove. The baggagemen had
thought of sending the lions to the
Highland Park Zoo to-day, if the owner
failed to appear; but they changed
their minds and concluded to keep them
about the place just for company
Moreover, as mascots for the new Union F.,
station, two lions could not be beat.
So it was with considerable disap-
pointment that the baggagemen receiv- |
ed their instructions last night to send
the cubs to Baltimore. And the little |
lions seemed just as loath to leave the |
warm stove and go back into their box !
