Harvard , Columbia , Pennsylvania and Cor
nell have finally agreed to have a qilad-
rat.gtilar freshman lace. It will be held
( wo days before the race between the 'var
sity crews of these four colleges , or the
nfttrnoon \Vcdtitslay , Juno 21. Penn-
Bjlvatila has agreed to allow only Its flrit
year students In the regular college course
to compete for seats In the frcshnnn t > hcll
Tlio trlanguhr race between the ficihman
crown of Harvard , Yale and Columnia , wliich
has hold the attention ot the public for a
number of years , will not be io\\sd tils
Beaton. The original agreement for this
triangular freshman race was between llai-
vaid and Columbia , Yale being admitted
from jear to year only by consent of ilieso
two colleges. As both Harvard nnd Col nu
bia have gone with Cornell anl Pennsyl
vania and formed a quadrangular freshman
race , It looks as though the Yale freshmen
oarsmen could sympathlre with Ilia lonely
position of their ciders In the 'varsity r'ull '
It Is announceJ from New Haven that a
sensation will soon bo sprung icganllng
Yale's freshman race. It Is said that a
race for the youngest Kills has been ar
ranged , but with whom Is not announced.
It Is declared , ho .v ever that vh'ii Hie ai-
rangeinonts are maJu kntfwn they will have
the effect of startling the entire college
world. Whether this Is merely a clcvei
EChemo to keep the Yale freshmen nt worker
or whether some wonderful race for them
actually has been ananged Is a mati of
conjecture.
Active training among the numerous candi
dates for the various crows has been begun.
On account of the unusual Interest that Is
already being manifested In Intercollegiate
aquatics for the coming season , real hare
work on the part of the men eager for seats
In the shally of their respective colleges Is
now the order of the day. It Is safe to say
that no such general interest has been taken
In the prellmlnary training of the college
crews lor many jears as ID now being mani
fested. At Harvard there are a number of
foot ball men In training for the ciew , but
come of the ol'l oarsmen will net be able to
row on account of other Interests. It ID
rumored thit Ned Fenncssy , who for thre
years has been Harvard's best oarsman , hn >
decided not to row this 3car. His < loss will
bt > kesnly felt. In fact It will be almost Irre
parable If , as has been said , he was the best
oarsman who ro'vel In either boat In the
Jlrrvard-Yalo race last June. Fennesyy wa >
kept In training all along , however , and may
yet be Induced to Join the squad. Wright-
ington , the captain-elect of the foot ball
team , will bo too busy with fcot ball matter-
next spring to attend to the crew. Damon ,
alio , has quit rowing for good. To make up
for these possible losses there Is some good
no\v material. These are Captain Ames ,
Goodrich and Hurley , of Isst year'y pluck- )
freshman crew , besides Jennings , who was
a 'verslty mm. J. H. Perkins , brother ol
Harvartl'H old oarsman and coach. Nelson
Perkins , will make a goo I man. Ill-health
prevented him frnm rowing last year , or he
would certainly have made a scat In tlie
C'evv. He has much ot the easx > and snap of
Fenneusy and plenty of cndurarce.
Captain Arthur Brewer , Donald and Haye- ,
of the foot ball team , will make good ad
ditions to the rowing squad. Sprague rowed
last year for a time and bids fair to make the
crew this year.
A first crew of experienced men has been
practicing the full stroke with sliding scats.
The men on this crow have rowed In the fol
lowing order ; Stlllman , stroke ; Jennings ,
7 ; Sprague , G ; Perkins , 6 ; Holllpter , 4 ; Steven
son , 3 ; Ames , 2 ; Goodrich , bow , The work
on the machines has been supplemented will !
Jong out-door luns antl by chest-weight work
In the gymnasium.
The new eight-oared , shell In which the
Harvard crew will row races the coming
season Is to bo a Worcester boat. The new-
boat will be built on lines somjwhJt different
from the ordinary eight-oared shell. It will
ba what Is known among racing men as a
round-full boat , carrying Its keel In a straight
line from stem to stern. It will be built
If of Spanish ce-Jar , will 1 sixty-three feet long ,
Ifm thirteen and three-fourths Inches deep and
m twenty-two Indies beam.
All ths braces and out riggers will be of
cold-drawn steel tubing , Insuring the greatest
strength with the least weight. The contract
calls for a boat of not more than 235 pounds
weight , but Mr. Webb expects to furnish
a boat that will carry a crew of 1,350 pounds ,
nnd. not weight more than 2CO pounds. Hart-
well , the South Boston boat-builder , is mal.-
Ing an clght-oared rticll of a different pattern.
The Worcester boat will be known aa the
Freshmen t'nell , but the 'varsity crew will
have ttt choice of the two.
At Columbia there Is a lively Interest also.
Walter Pfet , who has had charge of Colum-
blii'tj crews for several years past , In fact
over slnco ho himself pulled an oar for
Columbia , Is supervising the training of the
men. Guy Richards , another one of Colum
bia's rowing uutliorltlc-s , also Ultra a hand
In the coaching. Of last year's champion crew ,
wf.ilcli defeated Coinell and Pcnnsjlvanla , at
Poughkwpsle , there are In col legs : Pressplch ,
168 ; Prentice178 : Longacre178 ; Hodby , 173 ;
MncGrcgor , 185 ; Carter , 191 ; Plerrcpont. 157 ;
and substitutes Putnam , 191 ; and Fitzgerald ,
152 , J , H. Prentlcs l again captain , and It
would not be surprising If Plerrcpont should
again act as stroke. This Is a heavy set of
men , but It was demonstrated last year that
they had power , form and speed. Columbia
lias a great advantage In having so many old
oarsmen to start In with , and If any Im
provement at all le made over the work of
last y ar , the New Yorkers will go to the
scene of the race prepared to back their
favorites In a worthy manner.
At Cornell Coach Courtney has cut down the
list of candidates to
twenty-ivven name ? .
This number Includes four of the oarsmen
who went to Henley last summer , nine of the
I'oughltcopslQ crew , and six of last year'r
fro&imian crew. It was expected that rnoro
old oarsmen would respond to Captain Freo-
torn's call for candidates. Tbe men who
have been retained '
aa 'varsity candidates are
the following ; Captain Freeborn , Uentley ,
Urlgg.i , Conard , Cornell , Crawford , Crum ,
Chrluwell , Fuller , Iiiblee , Johnston , Jeffers ,

Ar irMBi.itJ Ktlci from a Vale graduate ap
peared duiliiR the week In the Yale News ,
the diliy rain tnoro , and sticfeeiled In creat
ing coiiiMcuililo talk. It dealt > vlth Mr. Cook
and the navy ninniRcment In a pretty harsh
manner for declijlng to tend the crew
nl > rC'i < l. It ilated that It was a sorry day
far Vnlo utMctlc * , when the Judgment of one
or two if.cn cuoulil be allowed to dlctato mat-
Icis rf poll'-j ' to which nltncst the entire
"t'lrtcnt lioJy .v.is opposed. It even suggested
that a ia.ifn.fclliiK of ( lie students bo
calle'il to iVi.oonco tlie action of the- navy
inanagi-nRnt and take step ? toward rescind
ing It.
Notllng fi-rllicr Ins been done In the mat
ter , and It lu Improbable that anything to
Interrtint the trip will take place. Hut the
circumstances plainly show that the scntl-
mot.t iif a conMtlerable portion of Yale men
Is decidedly against be ng overridden by ono
man , even though ho may he the man wl.o
has done BO much for Yale's hoat'ng Interests.
A letter recently appeared In the Yale News
from the pen of Prof. W. G. Simmer on this
subject. Ho bltttrlv condemns the Inter
ference of alumni with undergraduate nth-
lotlcs and dsclaios that they have harinej
Yale athletics more than they have benefited
thorn.
This little outbreak against graduate Inter
ference Is not Mirprls ng to those who have
watclied tlie course of aquatics at Yale for
the last several jears While Hob Cook Is
all but leveled as a most successful coach ,
It 'E thought that he Is too anxious to see
the p Hey of Hob Cook rule upon all occa
sion" . It Is Known that the undergraduate
sentiment at Ynlc during the last few years
has been favorable to accepting the many
challenges tot a i.tce thnt have been received
form Cornell. Hut Hob Cook has never
wanted Yale to low with Cornell , anil the
opinion of the undergraduates to the con
trary undo but 1 ( tie difference. That Hob
Ccnk does most certainly rule Is shown by
the suddenness with which the announce
ment of Yale's entrance In the Henley regatta
was nmle rltcr the ccach arrived In New
Haven ten dajs ago. The students had de
clared In favor of asking for admission to
the American Intercollegiate race , and had
expiofsed themselves as decidedly opposej tea
a trip to Henley. Deb Cook arrived In town ,
coneultcd the navy officials and dec ded that
the crew must go abroad.
Deb Cook , ex-Captain Ives , Josh Hart-
welt and other old oarsmen have all been
at New Hoven during the past week , drillIng -
Ing the candidates In the new stroke neces
sary for so short a race aa that will be at
Henley. Yale has for a number of yeirs
rowed a four-mile race. The course at
Henley Is about a mile and five-eighths In
length. The race Is practically a spurt
from start to finish , and this requires that
the Yale men adopt the short , quick stroke.
Yale candidates nro an unusually good lot
of men this year , and there Is no reason
why the dark blue should not accomplish
what every American will hope and pray
that they may bring back the coveted
Grand Challenge cup of the haughty Britons.
The men on whom Yale will depend for
a cre.v to go to Henley , and their veights
are as follows : Chadwlck , 1SS pounds ;
Tweedy , 17C ; McLatighlln , ICO ; A. D. Smith ,
1CS ; E. G. Smith , ICO ; Hltcliccck , 172 ; Georga
Langford , 174 ; Monks , 173 ; Patterson , 171 ;
Longacre , 182 ; Campbell , 173 ; McGraw , 159 ;
Ualley , 178 ; Sutphin , 180 ; Whltny , 174 ;
Coonley , 178 ; Judd , 170 ; Cadwaladsr , 175 ;
Rodgers , 183 ; Miller , 160 : Simpson , ICO ;
Wheelwright , ICO ; WIIcox , 154 ; Marsh , 1C8 ;
and Treadway , captain , 172 pounds
Of thesi ? , only three Captain Treadway ,
Langford and Longaqre are old men. It
Is said that W. R. Cross and W. M. Beard
will not row again this year.
Rowing affairs at the University of Penn-
sjlvnnla are In a decidedly muddled condi
tion. In fact , the candidates for the frcsh-
rmn crow are the only ones who are In ac
tive and regular training. They were called
out during the week and are said to bo a
goodly set of youngsters. They are being
coached by Captain Bull. Otto F. Wagonhurst
and Horace Beck , all 'vars'ty oarsmen.
Wagonhurst bed charge of the Pennsylvania
freshmen last year and considering the fact
that It was the first freshman crew the
Quakers have turned out for many years It
did not do so badly. The Cornell freshmen
who defeated them were an unusually speedy
lot of rowers for freshmen. The question of
coach has not been definitely settled. It was
thought tlut Captain Bull would act as
coach , with George Woodruff , the ex-coach ,
to assist him , and Daniel Galanaugh , a pro
fessional oarsman of Philadelphia , to rig the
boat and take care ot the men when out of
the shell. The arrangement of a quadrangular
race 1ms demonstrated to the rowing corrlmlt-
tee the need for moro thorough coaching
than Is provided for by arrangement. At
Wednesday's meeting the committee decided
that this plan would not go.
It was decided to engage Gills Ward , or
his superior Ward formerly coached the
Pennsylvania crews and with good success.
For the last ten years ho has been In New
York but Is quite willing to return to Penn
sylvania. The trouble which grew out of
what the Quakers th'ought was desertion on
his part has all been smoothed over , and
Ward would undoubtedly' receive a cordial
welcome. There lo Just one man tnat. j-enn-
fylvanla would rather secure , and ho Is no
other than Coach Charles Courtney of Cor
nell , Courtney has turned out crews at
Ithaca that have rubbed It Into the Quakers
for the last decade , and no one apprsclates
Courtney's abilities better than they do.
Cornell does not pay Courtney a fabulous
sum for his sir-vices , and Pennsylvania
hopes to secure the veteran by offering
greater Inducement- * . Whether they will
succeed Is a doubtful question. Harvard
tried the game thing three years ago , and
failed. Courtney was Invited to Cambridge ,
and was treated like a lion. Ho was offered
several times as much money an ho wao
paid at Cornell , but he declined the offer with
thanks. Since his failure with the Cor-
nelllans at Henley last year ho has been
subjected to many harsh criticisms. Ills
authority over rowing matters at Cornell
has also been slightly curtailed. Hence the
Quakers feel that It IB a very opportune
time to make a bid for the man they want.
Until a regular coach Is secured the 'vars
ity oarsmen at Pennsylvania will not get
down to systematic training. Several of last
year's crew are In college , but whether they
row or not Is unknown. The question will
soon be sailed , and this week Is likely to
see. the Quakers hard at work developing a
crew that plyill play n prominent part In the
grand quadrangular Intercollegiate contest.

DALTIMOIIE , Peb. 9. The racing board of
the League of American Wheelmen met today
and considered a number of cases In which

tions of league rules were made. The most
Important of tlu > M was that of C. M.
Murphy , who , with Titus and Cabanno , was
charged" with having arranged to throw a
race In St. Louis lat > t summer. The board
has previously decided against all of the men ,
but Murphy tried this afternoon to have hlu
case reopened and a rehearing granted. He
was represented by counsel , and the board
heard his plea behind closed doors , deciding
finally that no rehearing should be granteJ.
Murphy will appsal to the national conven
tion during Its present session. Titus ant !
Cabanno made no effort to uavo any further
action taken In their casss.
The meeting of the board was an executive
one , and at Its clo > u Chairman Gideon an
nounced that no Information would be glvct

today , until ths board reported to the con
vention.
The delegates are arriving In great num

Martin Julian received the following cable

LONDON , Feb 9. Should the contest not
take place and there Is no chance to pull
It off , the National Sporting club of London
will post 5,000 for a twenty-round fight.
Wire acceptance or declination to A Lum-
ley. New York HEUTBR.
When Julian opened this message he
crumpled It up and said Ind'gnantly ' : "We'l
what do you think of that ? Here we arc
lighting to a finish for a cheap purse and
taking chances nggninst soldiers when we
might pull the light off In the best sport
ing club In the world and get a lot of
money out of It. "
Julian seemed very much out of sorts , and
In view of the message from London h °
will evidently not be broken hearted If
the contest Is prevented and the big fight
driven from this hemisphere. It Is under
stood late tonight that Maher Is to be here
'ate tomorrow. It Is under'-'ood tonight
that this clrcum tince helps the persistent
rumor that the big fight will take place
before Friday.
"Bob Fltzslmmons nnd Peter Mnher will

City Jockey club hart made n formal
denial of a statement , pent out from here
to the effect that n committee of horse
owners had presented Jo the management
of the club a petition risking for the re
moval ot Starter Chris Fitzgerald , and
that the management hnd replied to this
petition by refusing to remove the otnrtcr ,
telling the petitioners nt the same time that
they could take their horde * * off the grounds
If they wished. As n matter of fact , no
such petition was prepared , much less
presented.
The raclnu ; trovcrnors promulgated a rul
ing yesterday su pendlng Jockey n.
a. Hennessy , Jockey Not Hill ,
Trainer Charles Tlchener , nnd the
western racing firm of I2ngllsli &
Larlssey. Tlchener , It Is said , owned nn
electric saddle , which he sought to have
Hcnntssy , who Is a light weight Jockey of
little merit , use upon his mount * . Ne
gotiations were conducted through Nat
Hill , and the saddle , which Is far ahead
of anything In UH line seen on southern
courses , was delivered to Honncssy. It
not tired , however , nnd Tlchener de
manded Iti rettiin. IIenne 8y fulled to pro
duce It , claiming thnt It had been mtHlnlil
by hli valet , and TIcbciier cnu ed his nr-
lest on the charge of Brand larceny. The
proceedings In tlie police court ventilated
the whole matter , nnd the Cre ccnt Cltv
Jcckcy club replevlned the saddle nnd had
the ease continued to enable Its olllcer- !
to Investigate the matter thoroughly at
the track. Track followers say that the
raddlo was used twice on Francis llen-
uessy , who , with D. Hennessy up , won
easily at six furlongs In l:2l'/4 : on Jannarv

up won handllv at six furlonus In 1:1 : $ on
February 1. Francis Hcnness. * Is owned
by D. S Henne'sy , the father of the jockey ,
and Salvador by Laird Uros. , who , how

The saddle Is one of solid battery , and
one of the finest pieces of mechanism ever

TAMMANY HAMlUITrS ITS U.V-CIIini \
Illolinril Crokor I'roMi'iiti'tl with n
IoIIIK Cup.
NEW YORK , Feb. 9. nichartl Croker , the
ex-chief of Tammany hall , was given a din
ner at the Hotel Savoy last night In a man
ner testifying to the successful termination
of a political career of ten jears of unre
mitting political labor In this event. The
event was an unique one In the history of
Tammany hall politics , for never heretofore
has tlie organization seen the voluntary re
tirement of Itu leader , and never before. It
la safe to say , have so many Tammany
braves contributed to a dinner , the cost of
which was $40 a plate.
The foiturc ot the dinner was the pres'nta-
tlon of a loving cup to Mr. Croker , by hlr
niccesKr , John C. Sbcelian , on behalf of the
Tamnuny leaders. This Jovlng cup stands
thirteen and one-half jlncb.es high , will hold
two gallons and weighs 210 ounces. It Is
comrossd of solid silver. John C. Slieehan ,
the now- chief of Tammany , presided. On
his right were United States Senator ndwarJ
Murphy , Senator T. F. Grady. Mayer Hugh
J. Grant , Justice Frederick Smyths , Senator
Jacob A. Canter , Nathan Straus and Janic i
Martin. On his left was the guest of the
evening , Mr. Croker , and ex-Governor
Flower , Hon. John II. Fellows , ex-Mayor
Gilroy , Congressman Amos J. Cummingp ,
County Clerk Henry D. Purroy and August
\V. Peters Among th other ino guests were
Congrcrjmen Miner , McLean , Su zer , ex-Lieu
tenant Governor Sheehan and John D. Crlm-
mlns. ' ,
Speeches were may by lon. Thomis F.
Grady , and Hon. JohnffC. Sheehan. " "
In accepting the cup. Mr. Croker spoke at
length on the loyalty of Tammany to Its lead
ers. A sensation was cieated before Mr.
CroKer had concluded. In the latter portion
of his address , he urged the minority of
the Tammany followers to oubtnlt to the
majority , and asked the organisation to ac
cept the leadership of John C. Sheehan.
Mr. Croker was interrupted by ex-Register
John Rellly , who wanted to know vvht > war
icsponolble for Sheehan , and who declared
that the organization did not want Sheehan.
There were murmurs of approval and disap
proval , which continued for some time.

NHW YORK , Tcb. 9. Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street
as follows :
AV lulo the coniummallon of the ? 1 < K ) ( KXJ.ftX )

able succor nnd In the highest drsrcc en-
ccurnpiiiK to tbo llnanclal oufook. jet It

In such capes , the effect hnd been pnrtlnllj

when the success of the loan hnd become

more than the PelllnR of the trmlors referred

It would be n prent ml"approben' < lon to
construe this absence of demonstration over
the succeos of the loan as meaning that
llltlo nccount Is taken of Its uencral flmu-
clal slKnlllcance. On the conti.nv VI11
street Is deeplv Impicssed with Its value
as a new uplifting c'oment In the peuein
sltuntlon , nnd the feeling I * Kcnernl that
Its real effects have v et to come. At one
stroke. It puts the whole Investment Inter-
p t of the counlrv upon a higher status ,
it cxniuils n vnsi uuompioveu numu puuiut
of lnve tinent that hud not been ui'poseil '
to exist. H reveals us In n position of
iepourco vvb'ch ' we had not credited our-
solvcs with InvliiB attained iinmc'lv , thai
of n people with vast accumulations of
capital ready to Iw loaned for long periods
at 'ovv i.itcs of Interest. What liuropc
has been to us , as ? n source for procuring
the means for Internal devplopmetit , we
now llnd we hive become our ehe ? . This
uplifting of the veil i events to in the United
States emancipated frpm dependence upon
future forclRii lending , nnd capable of fiam-
Ing Its destinies from Its own capitalistic
povv er
erSTILL. . TRUSTS THE PHOPI.C.
This phenomenon of $000000,000 offered for
Investment Is full of hopeful suggestions
It s-hons that In plte of the silver lieic'v ,
the bad condition of the cuirency , the dif
ficulty of maintaining the go'd icserve nnd
the depravity of congres loml politics the
men of brains and of material success have
unshaken confidence In the je-.outces of the
nation and In our ability to utilize them
for the development of the country's wealth.
It Is evidence that the embarrassments of
the moment are not expected to extend
their effects permanently Into the future.
Men of experience and sagacity Icnow what
to expect from our people. They know
with what tenacitv they cling to miscon
ceptions and sometimes to plainly dangerous ,
eirors but they also have .earned to put
ci.lldence In their last conclusions ; though
occasionally it may take a long time to
reach that final verdict. Toi that reason ,
thev do not regard the present condition
of the treasury ic cive as making the pre -
cnt state of the public creJIt really d.inger-
ous ; they but view the present clumsy and
costly method of supporting It ns but
piecedeut to the ll'iauces ' Uc'ng pliced upon
a uro foundation. It N therefore not --ur-
prslngtrnfour men of means Rri fo-tlicorn-
ing wlfh JCOO.OOOW.V1 foi the service of the
government nt a time when so many con
ditions look throTtetilng. This is about thn
matter of fact vv.iy In which the men of
Wo'l street look nt the results of the loan
and the present financial situation. The
leaders of tbo ( Imuelal inar'/cts are not
now- halting so much on nccount of any
really seilous dlstrutt about the futuie. a
because of the effect of present condltlonc
upan the cencral public , which up lo the
present time has been paralyzed by apure-
Conoinn AS tn thnt very Important clacs ,
fhe present Idea Is th.it the great success
[ f the loan will have the effect of Insp'rliiff
them with new hq.e and with fresh con
fidence : and upon that expectation A\nl
street is cncouiaped to hope for a rpvlyal
of Investment and a return to speculative
OITherenhas been no Idea that any such
amount of capital was bine around unem-
tiloyed as the b'ds for the loan has revealed
It Is argued tint , when coulldcnce Is meas-
UMbly re'torpd ( a It should be under the
welve months' Protection of the - e
now securfdl. n portion of this $ GOO 030 0 0
of funds will be found avillab e for the
fostering of new corpoiate enterprises ; and
the reasoning appears to bo well founded.
WDLI- , ESTABLISHED IN EUnOPC.
It Is understood that nn Important sum
of the loan goes to the German Helchsbank.
and that other sums have been uvv anleil to
representatives of continental Investors
These engagements place BO much to our
credit In Euiope ami will have an easing
effect upon the foreign exchanges ; which ,
accoidlng to current symptoms , do not
eems likely to give us much ; Inconvenience
for the neit few month" . Thus the con
ditions affecting Wall street Interests and
the general business of the country have
entered on a new and entirely more hop ° ful
phase , and the current vear should show
more prosperous results than were realized
nThc"lmmcnse demonstration of the Ameri
can poop o In bidding for the United States
bond lohn was largely Inspired by the re
cent majority action of the senate , in ob-
-truetW a ncceiry legislation slmplv
for the purpose of carrying through their
repudtatory silver scheme. The majoilty of
the people who subscribed for the bondn
did It to pustnln the government ciedlt. ns
: the uttnck of a factious Fenute
The result of the bond succebs will be to
lay out the silver senators and eventually
-end them to their political graves. The
pasia.roTot Iho silver bill through the sen-
nto lust on the cvo of the bond sale wn--
fhe' most audacious and vicious leglH atlye
net over put on record. It was simply
monstrouc The effect of so brilliant a suc
cess or the loan win ue HIUHUCLK ; , " " , "
at home nnd abroad , It insures the credit
of the government on the basis of the
world' ? best money. It will give ponfldence
to everybody in trade elrcles. It will be
the Pitrnal for n new vigorous departure
with everybody connected with commercial
enterprise , and a return of confidence In
every channel of business. It will change
the competition In the stock maiket to the
buying Fide In place nf , as heretofore , the
Hellnff side. This wilt especially apnly to
European dealings In our securities. We are
In for a steady bull movement of Important
dlmeiulons and for a prolonged period ,
Washington legislators have novy done their
woiFt and will not be feared hereafter.
It therefore , will be of little cons-eriucnee
what measures may be passed by the Ben-
ate hurtful to business Interests , as full
confidence Is felt In the loyally and vvls-
ilom of thi ) house to checkmate their
clolnga. PO that "buncombe and dress
parade" actions of the senate will pass for
naught in the future.
