HARVARD'S ' CONFIDENCE MISPLACED Ir.ilnrr Wntnon'ii Itollrf In 11 in Men Itudcly hhakon by Itriiilln Columbia Crippled hjr n C'rnli Kurly I" tlio Jluco. NEW LONDON , Conn. , Juno 27. Harvard's freshman eight-oared crew , confident of victory , was defeated today by Yale , while Columbia was third In the annual triangular race over two miles of Thames water. Coach Watson of Harvard Is said recently to have stated that It his freshmen could not win this year there was little hope for his 'varsity eight which rows Yale tomorrow. Be that ns It may , Mr. Watson after the race today , was a severely disappointed man. Bob Cook , who couched Yale and who has grown used to feeling well after New London boating events , was serenely comfortable , though possibly somewhat surprised after the event of today. Mr. Peel , the rubicund coach of Columbia , saw his white and blue lads beaten with greater equanimity than though he had not beneath him the prestige of Monday's victory on the Hudson. The weather nnd water favored n good race. A fair southeast breeze was. blowing up the course over an Incoming tide , heavy clouds shaded the water , the attending steamers were well under control and all things entering Into good racing nnd com fortable observation. Just above the railway bridge , whence the crews were to row two miles up the river with the tide , was anchored a huge IloaL Yale's launch , with the freshmen aboard and towing tneir shell , was the llrst to steam down from their quarters and anchor alongside the float. The shell was brought to the other sldo nnd the men deposited themselves In the light craft nnd pulled down below the bridge. Harvard's little launch , with Coach Watson nnd the Harvard crew aboard , next drew to the float and entered their shell , pulling down below the starting line , so that Col umbia might range up to the float and board their shell , which they did about 10:25. : All three crews paddled about below the line until the referee's whistle summoned them to the stake boats , which lay with their sterns on the starting line , Just above the bridge. ALL nOWED RAGGEDLY. Ileferee Guy Richards lined up the crews , while Veteran Adee stood beside him to do official timing. At 10:35 : o'clock the word was given. Hnrvard first caught the water , Columbia's oars flashed next , while Yale. In the middle course , was sagging back. Harvard on the Groton side and Columbia on the New London ' side pulled each a half length ahead wlth'ln six strokes. This order was brief , however. Harvard after her short starting strokes squared away in an effort for the lead , rowing with forty strokes to the minute. This told In feet and Inches of difference between the Crimson and the Blue , Harvard gaining on Yale and Yale over hauling and leading Columbia by an equal distance at the quarter. As yet there was no clear water between the shells. Columbia grew ragged ns she ncared the first half mile flag and It became thus early evident that they were outclassed. At the first half the time tells the story. Harvard went over the line In 2:18 : , Yale half a length behind , swinging steadily at 38 strokes to the minute In 2:20 : , while there was then clear water between Yale und Columbia , who rowed gamely , though ragged ly nearly two lengths behind Harvard In 2:25. : Entering the second half of the first mile Columbia's bowsman. caught a crab and broke the fastening bar of his rowlock. Thence onward the bow was a load In the boat. He was scarcely able to pull his weight. There was , distress , too , 'n Yale's boat. No. 2 was losing first wind and No. 4 In Harvard's shell \ias bucking nls oar. The Crimson crew wa saw-teething from sldo to sldo In ragged form. Yale , though distressed , was pulling along gamely at 34 strokes , as the shells passed the first mile flags. She was ? then lapping Harvard by one-third of a length and her time at the- mile was 4:58. : One-quarter of a second later came the Crim son , while Columbia trailed over three clear boat lengths In the rear In 6:15. : Thence the race wai | Yale's , though by an exceedingly slpnder margin. No. 2 In Yale's boat had gained his second wind and was again bemllng the back on the oar with Bomo power. Harvard's men had drppped their stroke to a weary swing of thirty-two nnJ thirty-four strokes. Colunib'a was losing momentarily. Her bowman frequently un shipped his car and his comrades were obliged to carry his dead weight until he was able to resume the blade. The closing of the race was viewed broadly , so that distress In neither of the leading shells was evident and was close and spirited. The nearness of Harvard to Yale kept alive the Crimson hope of a winning spurt. It wac not In the boat , however , and Yale went over the finish In 10 minutes and 28 sooondj from the start. Harvard crossed In 10:33 : , a length behind , while poor Columbia , with a disabled outrigger , finished In 11:18 : < 4 from the start , about sixteen lengths behind Yale and fifteen behind Harvard. The official time was : , . , First half. Mile. Two miles. } nle 2:20 : 4:53 : 10:28 : Harvard 2:18 : 5:00 : 103 : : !

The con test between the Harvard and Ynlo 'varsity crows , which comes off on the Thames late tomorrow afternoon , Is the one topic of con versation tonight. The Harvard men arc considered to have been v'.ctlms of hard luck. For a month previous to the arrival of the crow at New London rowing matters at Har vard had been completely given up , owing to the epidemic of tonsillitis prevalent among the oarsmen on the Charles river. The crew , however , recovered quickly , and by hard work has regained all It had lost. U has ulnco Improved every day. Its stroke Is long , with nlenty of power In It. und the oarsmen have been pulling from 31 to 28. It U not nt ossentlnlly different Etroko from tlmt used by Vnle , both being a inodlllcntlon of the Kngllsli stroke. The Hurvnrd crew sits Htrnlghter nnd swings well forward from the hips before sliding on the recover , while their leg drive is not ns snuppy , und If Btnrtcd with the body .lust n bit beyond the perpendicular. Harvard Mulshes with bodies erect and with bunds drawn In to the rhost while the Ynle men llnlsh with bodies HllRhly forward nnd hnmls several Inches out from the body/ The Yule stroke Is bet ter developed In some ways. The Hnrvnn oars do not take the water us clennly n ; inles nnd the blades nre not brought oul on the recovery very evenly. HARVARD'S YOUNGSTERS.

This fuel wns the cnuse of much tnlk Insl yenr , which ceased of course after the rnce wns won by the heavy- v eights. It wns snld they wore apt to Inck the celerity of a lighter crew , nnd even "Bob Cook seemed to bo troubled over this point.

Nevertheless , the crew did not pull the four miles In phenomenal time , nnd a compurl- son shows the weight of the crew this year exceeds that of last year.

The course on the Thames over which the ruco is to be rowed Is not nn Ideal one , nnd is selected only because of Its convenience for both Hnrvnrd und Ynle. The only fair rnce Is rowed down stream und nlwnys with the tide nnd within two hours of Its flood. The starting- ling Is on the Montvlllo side ot the river , half a mile below the Ynla quarters nnd almost opposite Red Top. In order to got a straightaway course the- start Is made close to the bank and out of Hie river channel , so that the first mile of the race Is rowed over Hats. The two-mile flag , or the middle of the course , will be Just oft the end of the long navy yard dock , nnd the rnce In usunlly doclded nt this point. The llnlsh line Is nt the upper end of the long drawbridge pier nnd the bout on the west course goes very near the embankment. Flats covered with fntnl eel grus.s border must of the cour.se , so that much depends on the coxswain's knowledge of the river nnd his skill tn bundling the boat. The fact that the rnce Is nlwnys rowed with the tide nnd ngnlnst the wind accounts to a grent extent for the difference In time mndc by suc cessive crews. Since the Inauguration of the Yale-Harvard bent races In 187C , Ynlo has won twelve nnd Hnrvnrd seven con tests. The best time ever inude over the Thames course was by the victorious Ynle crow In 1SSS , the time being twenty minutes nnd ten seconds. COKNKMVS CItKVV KNCUUUAUKD. Pull Over the Henley Conrun In I l > l.r Oulck Tlmn. LONDON , June 27. The Cornell crew , which Is to contest at the Henley regatta , rowed the full course against the current today In 7 minutes , 7 seconds. The record Is G minutes , 51 seconds. Charles E. Court ney , the Cornell coach , Is much pleased with this performance , as the men did not pull their hardest. As a result ot the Improve ment made In the form of the Cornell crew their stock Is rapidly rising. The Canadian crew has created the best empresslon among the expert oarsmen , and the sporting newspapers admit It Is far ahead of any four now at Henley. Mr , Courtney Is having trouble In the training of the Cornell crew , as the climate does not suit many of the men from Ithaca. In consequence of the unfavorable climatic conditions there are many cases of sore throat among tha Cornell men , as well as among the Canadians , and the latter have been obliged to move Into quarters situated upon higher ground. The Cornell crew Is somewhat piqued at the fact that it has not received any letters or papers from the United States since ar riving hero. _ s JMATIN : : IN DOUDLKS llovey nntt lloli.irtVlii from 1'lni and Mn- t honor In Mrxlghlg.

( Special Tele gram. ) When Ed Gtcrs appeared on the track with Robert J to warm him up for a trial at the world's record he was cheered [ > y a very enthusiastic crowd , which num bered more than the crowds of the previous days , but the weather was cloudy and It began to sprinkle and blow , and his trial was postponed until later ir. tha day. Then the 2:35 : was called and ten horses responded , and the first heat was started tn a slight shower , but It was a very pretty heat be tween Red Nutting and Fannie Holman , the latter winning by a small majority. While scoring for the second heat a heavy rain came up , and It was a mud slinging event , with Red Nutting winning and the rest of the field strung out clear to the head ot the stretch. The crowd had quite a laugh on Starter McCarty and the judges when he went to announce this heat , and found they had made a mistake and placed the pacers Instead. The 2:20 : pace was sandwiched with the trot. The first heat was the hot test one of the meeting , five horses being bunched for the entire heat and finished heads apart , Harry Holton winning , with Whlrley second. A rain storm came up and made the track so soft the program was postponed until tomorrow at 1 o'clock , when today's program will be finished , along with the- great free-for-all trot with all the cele brated trotters and the regular program of Friday.

HAVE STARTED THEIK South Shin ( lliost Djncorn Open 11 Cnm- pilii | of Kiliicnttnn. The ghost dancers of the First and Second wards , who two or three weeks ago organized themselves Into a body , admitting a few of the unsophisticated , and dubbed It the South Side Republican club , held a pow wow last night In the National hall at Thirteenth and Williams streets. The chief who di rected the ceremonies was Henry Knodel , member of the Board of Education , and sur rounding him were a number of the faithful , Ikey Hascall , Israel Frank , Morris Morrison , ex-Policeman DuBols , John Butler , E. E. Slmmerman and F. W. Bamlhauer , most of whom got up and orated a while , to the ad miration of the others. The majority of them were candidates for some office. It did not matter which ono , and they all told what good republicans they were. Besides these there were a few others present to look on. McConnell , Slmmerman , Frank nnd J. A. Hall started the ball rolling by opposing the citizens' movement , and then Ikev Hascall got up to tell what he didn't know about several things. Including the silver question , of which he had made a "study , " and who 'agreed ' with all the other great men when ever they spoke of the free coinage of sil ver. " Unlike the others , Ikey got out Into the middle of the ring , In order that all might sec , and then "let 'er go. " He made a multitudinous number of stabs at the gold bugs and the-citizens' , movement , but the audience did not tumble until he stated each time that "thal.Is . , the point I am making , that's the point : I'm making , " and then ho was applauded ! When he got through John Butler arose and made n few remarks , which covered a halkjjour , and then Hascall had to answer him. > DuBols started- commotion by moving that the club meet ionly one Thursday in the month , the other three to bo occupied by separate meetings of the First nnd Second Ward Republican clubs. Israel Frank was In favor of this. There was a vigorous pro test on the part of others , who evidently thought that the two were trying to break the club up , and expressed themselves to that effect. DuBols and Frank tried to explain that they dldc't mean anything and then subsided. It was ifinally decided that the club meet again lu-two weeks. HIS VISIT WAS A COSTLY ON Wyoming Ktockinnii l-'ull Into ICvIl ( lands on l.invrr Capitol Avcnur. Another verdant from the great wilds of the state of Wyoming was taken In In the burnt district yesterday morning , a buxom wench of considerable notoriety and goodly proportions , Alice Smith , nllas Alice Jack son , being the chief high cockalorum In the tiaiwactlon. The victim was a stockman with a long hlrsulte aprenJage , streaked with gray , and bearing the name of John Strouil. Ho halls from Casper and Is In the neighborhood of CO years of age. Stroud wandered down among the wicked some time before noon , and while he was passing the house of Ella Mitchell on Capitol tel avenue ho was Invited within. Ho en tered with his beard and a wallet containing $100 In money andra check for JG50. The olJ , old story waD repeatcJ. When John came out he had his board , but his wallet woj gone. Then he followed In the- steps of his many predecessors and hunted up a couple of policemen and related his tale of woe. The hopeless search for the thief and money was undertaken by the coppers , nnd Stroud whlled away the time In a neighboring sa loon. loon.Allco Allco was not In the house and neither was the money , but when the officers came out John accosted them with hope In his voice. During the recital of the discouraging story the officers hail to give one of them noticed a pocketbook sticking out of one of John's sldo coat pockets and asked him what It was. "Jewhlz , that's the pocketbook , " said Stroud , and he opened It with expectant hands. Within the folds was flowed the check , but not a cent of money. Some one had sneaked UD behind him while he was In the saloon and slipped the depleted pocket- hook Into his pocket , for Slrou-l was sure ho did not put it there. Ho said he always carried It In his Insldo vest pocket. He went on another search for his lost money with a detective , but will never , novcr see it agiln. The spoils were divided and the bird had flown. RECEPTION TO MAJOR HALFORD Oinulut VrleniU Illil Him lrnrotveU nt tlio V. M. C. A. Koonn.

Today's proceedings wcro of a most harmonious nature until about -1:50 : this afternoon , where the warmest fight of the convention developed In the race for secre tary of state. In this contest there were named as candidates Hon. J. Stoddard John son of Louisville , State Treasurer Henry S. Hale , Judge Charles W. Metcalfe and John W. Headley of Louisville , present secretary of state. After a hot fight and two ballots the contest centered between the forces of Hale and Metcalfe , and the latter , seeing that his defeat was certain , moved that Major Hale's nomination bo made unanimous. At 0:55 : llerry rapped the convention to order. There were no prayers offered and In order to facilitate business the motion was carried that speeches be limited to five minutes each. Nominations for state treas urer were first taken up and four candidates named , n. C. Ford of Clay county was nom inated on the second ballot. Then followed the nomination by acclamation of the present state auditor , Luke C. Norman , to that posi tion again. For register of the land office Green D. Swango , the present register , was rcnomlnated. Attorney General William K. Hemlrlck was renomlnated by acclamation. For secretary of state Henry S. Hale , John W. Headley. Charles W. Metcalfe and Stod dard Johnson were placed In nomination. There wa"s much excitement over the first ballot , which resulted In no choice. It was then decided that the candidate receiving the smallest vote on the next and each succeed ing ballot be dropped. Johnson and Headley withdrew , leaving Metcalfe and Hale. Then there was much confusion and a recapitula tion of the vote was decided on. During the wrangle following Mr. Ilasln of Louisville put In nomination the name of Walter Lin coln. coln.About About this time Virgil Taylor of Mason created some considerable excitement. He crowded dlrectlyi In front of Chairman Berry and cried loudly : "Fraud , fraud , and you , the chairman of the democratic convention of Kentucky " "Sit clown , or I'll have you attended to , " retorted Berry. "D n you , we will have Justice , " returned Taylor , and then he burst Into a string of oaths , which he directed at the chairman. He was finally removed. Metcalfe with drew and urged that the nomination of Major Hale be made unanimous , which was done. Ed Porter Thompson of Frankfort was .nominated for superintendent of public In struction on the first ballot , and I. I ) , Hall for commissioner of agriculture by acclama tion. tion.G. G. B. Swango was nominated for register of the land olllc3 on the second ballot , receiv ing 466 votes. VOOKIIKK * THINKS IT IS A ItlCAW Ill-suit of tlin I.'jnlivlllo Convention Not to Ilii VVoinlrrril At. TERRE HAUTE , Ind. , June 27. Senator Voorhees was this afternoon asked his opinion of the result of the democratic con vention In Kentucky. He said : "The re sult of this convention reminds mo of an ex pression we had when I was a boy In de scribing a wrestling match. When neither party got much of any advantage over the other , It was called a 'dog fall. ' At Louis ville ono party nominated the ticket and the other made the platform and they came out about even with bimetallism In the ab stract on top. The ticket Is a splendid one with the gifted and eloquent General Hardln up for governor , a friend of silver money , while the platform Is simply a reassertlon of the Chicago platform of 1892 , which Is full of silver and gold both , and was en dorsed by the American people three years ago in an overwhelming manner. This plat form did not mean gold monometallism In 1892 and does not mean it now. "The endorsement of Mr. Cleveland and his administration , " said the senator , "was a most natural thing in a democratic con vention , and the endorsement of John G. Carlisle anywhere In Kentucky was a fore gone conclusion.whether all his views were concurred In or not. There Is nothing In the work of the Louisville convention which calls for or Justifies a spirit of boasting or of triumph amongst Its members over each other. "I have neither fear or discouragement for the fate of silver 'money In the United States. The American people In their own way , and with many a sobsr second thought , will take full and proper care of that great question. There are over $500,000.000 of sil ver now in circulation In this country , as much honored as gold , and there will never be less. Democrats have no need to quar rel with one another on this or any other question. Freedom of opinion In our ranks does not necessarily mean a free fight. " J'JilliU.\A L I'.l Il.KlIl.ll'IIS. O. M.

The "Whlto Wing" democracy has declJcd to hold a state convention In September. In answer to the- call of the chairman , the democratic state central committee of the straight untcrrlflcd brand , met In the Paxton block last evening. Thirty-two out of a possible thirty-eight commltteemcn responded to the roll call. The minutes of the pre vious meeting , as read by Secretary tJheean , were adopted. Euclid Martin , presiding officer , arose and complimented his colleagues at the "mag nificent response to the call , notwithstanding the Inclement weather and the frowns of an Irresponsible opposition. " Mr. Martin ten dered his resignation ns chairman last even * Ing , owing to a prospective absence of nearly two months from the state , and the posslblo displeasure of some people who objected to his devotion to civil service rules. anJ political duty combined. Dan Cook protested against the acceptance of the resignation. So did half a dozen others , who pleaded with Mr. Martin to re consider. Party pride was appealed to. Mr. Schilling argued that It the leader of thi only straight democratic contingent In Ne braska would throw away his sword at this time It would demoralize the rank and file. George West pathetically pictured the ro- suits of the resignation , and It was unani mously decided not to accept Mr. Martin's declination to serve out his term.

Then every body applauded , some with their hands and feet combined. "Gentlemen and fcllgw democrats , " said the postmaster , with visible emotion , "I do- slrcd to resign for several reasons , but tn view of this magnificent nnd unanimous call to continue as your chairman for a few months longer , I reluctantly consent to do so. There will bo considerable barking over this by critics who run newspapers and who will seek to create talk and fill their papers with stuff about civil service and so-called rumps , but I will stick It out and continue In the future , as I have In the past , to en courage the maintenance of a democratic party In Nebraska. I will bo absent from the city most ot the tlmo for the next two months and would much rather have you select some ono who will bo hero and can give the office moro attention.
