Princeton, N, j., June 25.-The
funeral of Grover Cleveland to-mor-

plclty. Although twice elected pres

or splendor will have a place In the
ceremonies. There Will be no bands
to play mournful dirges on the way
to the old Princeton cemetery, no mil
ltary escort no eulogy by the officiat-
Ing clergymen. The half mile of
thoroughfare through which the cor
tege will pass from "Westland, the
Cleveland home on Bayard lane, to
the cemetery, will be policed by
mounted troops and blue coated SOL
ders, but they will be there for police
duty and as a measure of precaution
in protecting the living president,
rather than as an element of display
in paying tribute to a departed chief
executive.
It has been Mrs. Cleveland's wish
TO avoid anything of military nature
at the funeral and It was only when
the necessity of guarding President
Roosevelt, who Is to be In attendance
was borne upon her that she consent
ed TO the presence of troops,
The final arrangements for the cere-
mony and tho names of those selected
to officiate were announced this after
noon, when acceptances from all had
been received Four clergymen will Of

Before Judge.

Nine autoists returning from the boat
races at New London met sad fate
while coming through the staid old VII
lage Of Madison last night Many OF
the autoists were in n hurry to get
somewhere. and those VINO got into
trouble were mainly parties on the way

These particular nine were captured by
the special constables OF the town OF
Madison on charges of excessive speed
ing, and they will each have to pay
some twenty-five odd dollars for their
experience. The autoists, according TO
the town constables, were making

SYSTEM
Director Foley Favors One for
Permanently Paved
Streets.
NAY BE IN ESTIMATES
Street Department May Have Reg
ular System Here
Soon.

The success which has attended the
experiment which Director of Public
Works Francis Foley and the members
OF the street department have made In
the matter Of the flushing of the
streets as a method OF .obviating the
trouble which has been experienced in
the keeping Of the streets free from
dust has been such that there is seri-
ous consideration on the part of the d.
rector Of permanently installing the
system as soon as possible. Mr.. Foley
is decidedly Of the opinion that ordin-
ary sprinkling Is far too ineffective a
method Of taking care Of the paved
streets of the city and he is casting
about for some means OF carrying on
the flushing thoroughly and econom-
ically. Since the experiment on State
street the other fully paved streets OF
the city have been given a dose OF the
same medicine and with like success
and the members of the department
feel that this'is the proper method Of
keeping the dust in subsection.
The dust nuisance has been one OF
the great complaints OF the citizens OF
the city Of New Haven for a great
many years. Watering carts and car
sprinklers have been sent carefully over
the streets and still the cry has come
that the streets were dusty, that every
passing car or vehicle raised a danger
Gus cloud Of dust and that the sprink-
ling was poor. so that the department
got the full blame for not keeping the
streets In respectable condition. The
flushing, however, seems to obviate the
objection and II persevered In will
probably form the solution of the
problem.
It is possible that Director Foley
may include. In his estimate for next
year request that the department be
allowed SUFFICIENT money for the pur-
chase OF several carts for the purpose
OF flushing the streets regularly and
systematically. While his plans are
not entirely definite he is strongly In
favor Of the flushing system and will in
all probability introduce 1t as one OF
the improvements OF his regime

YALE CREW BACK
Praise for the Plucky Finish the
Only Comment by the Un-
dergraduates.
OUTLOOK FOR NEXT YEAR
Election OF Henry A. Howe to Cap
taincy Was Expected-Has Been
In Boat Two Years.

With nothing but words Of sympathy.
and words of praise for the plucky way
In which the race was finished after
the collapse OF the stroke, the men,
bers of the Yale crew returned to this
city at 10 o'clock last evening on
special train. Grisvold, the stroke
had nearly recovered and the other
members OF the eight were In good
condition. There was no hostile crit-
lcism and there was no need for ex-
cuses. e.
As a member OF the class OF rs said
at the house last evening, Yale crew
which went on to the end OF the course
though hopelessly defeated and with
nothing to gain by shortening the dis
tance, needs no sponsor. He said that
the same spirit is always visible on
the gridiron or on the diamond. and
that the time has not vet come when
Yale men will decline to cheer a team
which shows pluck, even though the
team Is defeated
The election Of Howe to the captain
cy for the coming year was u foregone
conclusion. Howe has rowed on the
varsity two years, this year at 8, and
Is one of the best oarsmen on the
crew. When there was talk Of picking
a crew to go to England for The Oiym-
pic games. Howe vas unanimously
picked as one OF the members Howe
is an academic member of iStn and
member Of Skull and Bones
The sudden going to pieces Of the
Yale crew was las. night TIE subject
OF much comment. According to all
reports when Griswold collapsed, Cap
tain Ide did the work Of the stroke,
and Mt the end was himself pretty well
exhausted. Rice who rowed at 3, was
seen to droop at the end OF the four
miles. and had the course been longer,
he undoubtedly would have tainted
or the members OF the present eight,
beside the coxswain. Cass, Yale will
have three men back next year. These
are Captain-elect Howe, Rice and Hunt
who rowed at 4. From the result yes
terday morning little can be expected
from the freshman crew, but there were
members of the varsity squad this
year before the Anal cut who will At

Blue Stroke Suffers Nervous
Collapse and is Removed
From Shell at Three
Mile Flag.
SEVEN MEN PULL TO FINISH.
Terrific Pace Of First Two Miles
Promised. Historic Struggle ,
Accident in Blue Boat
at Start Calls Crews
Back.
SEVEN MEN PULL TO FINISH.

New London, June 25.-The Har-
ward varsity eight this evening adj
ministered crushing defeat to the
Yale crew In the annual race between
the two universities on the Thames.
Almost from the very start 1t was
apparent that the Crimson had the
race won, barring accidents. The
great aquatic event had been In pro-
gress but few minutes when 1t was
plain to everyone who knew anything
about rowing that once more tho,
Crimson had a crew superior to the
Blue in physical prowess and in all
that is perfect In the art of rowing.
The defeat probably Is unprecedented
for Yale. Her crew has never suffer-
ed so crushing and so bitter a defeat.
The physical form OF the Yale men
was decidedly poor, Griswold, the
stroke, collapsed completely nearly.
falling out of the boat from which he
finally had to be removed near tho
three mile flag, and Peyton showed
serious signs Of exhaustion at various
stages. Besides this Hunt, near the
start Of the race, caught a crab and
fell back In the boat. II was un-
questionably the worst showing made
by a Yale crew In years. The wise
knew that some one had blundered.
For the pluck Of the Blue oarsmen,
man for man, nothing but praise can,
be said. They rowed their best; they
rowed with every bit of energy I'm
them: they rowed almost until, from
absolute exhaustion, they could hard
ly see. II was game exhibition on
the part OF Captain Ide and the men
who finished the race with him.
Harvard crossed the finish line In
24:10, and Yale's time at the finish
was not taken.
The Race in Detail.
From a technical point OF view
Harvard's victory was due to no acci.
dent Yale's defeat might be attrib-
uted TO physical defect But had
not this physical defect existed In the
Yale boat, there is no telling how the
race might have resulted. Conse-
quently there is nothing whatever to
be said In Yale's favor which In any
way detracts from the glory OF the
Crimson. The selection of men who
are physically able to row four mile
race is responsibility that rests
solely upon the coach In charge of
tho crew.
From technical point Of view Har-
wards victory was due to no accident.
Tale's defeat might be attributed to q
physical defect. But had not this phys
ical defect existed In Yale's. boat, there
is no telling how the race might have
resulted. Consequently there is noth-
Ing whatever to be said in Yale's fav.
