CALM BEFORE THE BATTLE Contestants In Great Oollegiato International Athlotio Event Are Ready , AMERICANS EXPECT TO WIN A VICTORY Yale nnil 'llnrvnril llo > In tlic 1'ltilc of CnniUtlun r > rent IntcrcKt lit London Tlic Ofllclnl Program , LONDON , July 21. The calm preceding a battle marked the eve ot the International varsity struggle , both the London anil Urlghton teams resting today and saving their strength for tomorro-w'o contests. No compotltors appeared at the Queen's club , where a score of 'workmen were engaged In fitting up the track boxes for tomorrow. The demand for scats has long elnco ex hausted the supply and the exorbitant prices asked by speculator * ! caused the man- ngement to rcfuso all applications , so that' tonight 5 and 10 arc vainly offered by late comers. The value of a victory tin HngllBh soil Is fully appreciated by the American contest ants and visitors , llololn have been In vaded by American Arrivals from the conti nent to witness the sports and by a largo contingent of Cornell , Pennsylvania and Co lumbia students , who are swarming the American theaters nn'd rendezvous tonight and college yells and colors are everywhere prevalent. Ill IMnk ot Condition. Unless something untoward occurs be tween tonight and tomorrow uftcrnoou the Yale and Harvard athletes will appear upon the track tomorrow In the very pink of condition. Every man Is In the best possi ble form and the team la even la better con dition than when Its members sailed from Now York. Not on accident of any kind has occurred and the change of climate If It has had any effect at all has only put the young athletes In bettor spirits. Not a man missed a meal aboard ship or Blnco they have been In England. Their training has been very light during the week , .Mr. Wendell's Idea being merely to hccp the -pen , In larva , after they had ar rived at their best. No work was done at Brighton today and often a bath In the sea this morning , the men boarded a train for London. They will not don their athletic garb until the event ful hour when the sports begin. The ath letes have made the best Impression at Brighton among the few Englishmen with whom they have come In contact. They scarcely feft their hotel , except for a swim In the morning and for their training at Preston Park In the afternoon , spending the rest of the day lounging about the corridors of the Mctropolo or the portico facing the oca , taking snap shots of typical scenes and Incidents of England's famous Catering places. Every member has at least one kodak. Tholr gentlemanly demeanor , good looks and high spirits have been the sub ject of admiring comment. They have never boon noisy or indulged In horse play. Jlr. Wendell preserves admirable discipline with out making It Irksome and ho Is very popu lar among his young charges. Content 1V111 He CIoic. The men have scarcely been out ot the eight of their trainers since their arrival , but the very best of feeling exists. There baa foeon only one exception to this , and that was made in the case of a member who -was allowed to make ft trip to London In order to try on some clothing. The prospect Is that tomorrow's contest will bo close and won or lost probably by one.event.The , t , Americans are confident of winning three events , three are consid ered doubtful and three are virtually con ceded to the Englishmen. Adams or Burke is pretty euro of win ning the half-mile race , while Roche * and lllco outclass Adalr and Paget-Tomllnson Jn the high jump , and Boal and Urown will find little difficulty in Seating Greenshleld and Bulno In throwing the sixteen-pound hammer. On the other hand. Vassal and DOV.III are almost certain to secure the long jump from Roche and Dalynullo Hun ter and JYomantle have proved themselves better men at a mlle than are Spltzcr and Bmlth , and Wllberforco and Smith hold a slightly better record for three miles than do their competitors. English and Ameri cans are pretty evenly matched In the 100 yards and In the hurdle races and also In the 440 yards dash , although Boardman and riBhor aru confident of winning this match. Mr. Wendell said ( his evening ; "Tho men will go to tiio Queen's club to morrow with very good prospects of winning on their merits , although wo realize that our adversaries are thoroughly worthy of our steel. If wo do not win wo shall have been beaten by better men and shall accept defeat an gracefully as we expect to claim Tictory. " Ofllulnl rroKrrnm.

But unfortunately In thirty mn- ! liU i Aftcr thc Uo bl& sloops had crossed the # lno nt Drenton's Heef lightship the Defender mot with an ncticent which made H mainsail unmanageable for racing pur poses and It wns compelled to abandon the I ifirt " " ' "Idi would have cloddened the lienrt of nny ynohtsman. A fine riftcen-knot racing breeze was mowing as the Defender nnfl Columbia left | J..1 ? harbor for the contest. They got away promptly.

At the start Captain narr on the Co lumbia had -the bettor of the Jockeying , for , ultmiugh the Defender wa apparently fifty yards ahead of Its rival when the starting signal \va.i blown , thenow. . boat slipped across tw. nly-slx seconds Ahead and to windward. It went over the line onlv four seconds after the eohous of 'fho ' Sultana's whistle hnd died awuy. Uoth boats took a long tack out to sea , the Columbia slowly eating HH way to weather , and when they cnm about to "port " lack It had gained about fifteen seconds and had left the De fender over an eighth of u mile astern. Then came the accident that ended the day H sjHirt with the boats tearing through the water at over ten miles an hour. The Defender set Its working topsail and prob ably this Increase erf canvas wns too much for lla gear , as the u > ; l link to which the blocks of Hie main shci-t were fastened gave way , thus rendering the mainsail un manageable and causing thi main sheet block to give way also. The yacht 1m- IIHM ! lately abandoned the race.- Under foresails the Defender soon after stood In for its moorings , while the Colum bia contluusil to the mark oft Point Judith , ' and rounded It at 12:15:01 : , covering * the seven miles of windward work , Jn , ono hour ! and forty-seven seconds. | In view < jf the accident Mr. Ise-lln pro- I ceedod no further In the race nnd followed I t'ho ' Defender "p the bay. Mr. Duncan of I the Defender was really ready to take the Defender out for n. brush wlUi the Colum- I bla whenever nn opportunity would bo of fered , and after communicating Vlth the Herreschoffs and learning thai a now steel ! link could bo forged for the itacklo im- i mediately nnd would probably bo reads' In . .the morning , ho said it the link reached ; Newport early enough tomorrow ho would bo ready to go out again at once. It Is understood th.it this arrangement id satis factory to Mr. Isolln and that If the Defender - fender Is In shape the boats will go down the bay and try conclusions wer the course they started on today. The race will not be under the management of the Newport Yacht Racing association , as it gave no tice positively that further contests for its prizes are deferred until Saturday , July'29.

The coolness In notion of qreat command ers llko MnrlboTOUgh , Wellington , John Nicholson and Stonewall Jackson has been worth whole battalions In the fighting line , says the Cornhlll Macazlne. Basil Jackson , utio had frequent opportunities of seeing the "iron duke" during the hours ot the terrible Sunday , has recorded the Interesting and characteristic fact that the only sign of t nervousness that ho remarked In him was that In a dangerous crisis ho observed him moving in and out tlio folds of the powerful field glass which he carried and of which ho made such admirable use In this and his other campaigns. By the way , English telescopes of the tlmo were far better than the Frencft , nnd It was looked upon as a prize when ono of them fell Into their hands. In ono of Wellington's battles' against Soult ho was able to read the very able general's ' Intentions by his gestures to an aldo-do-camp , and accordingly took prompt measures to counteract his plans , and years afterward , when they wcio both old men , ho astonished rno marttial by telling him. how ho had de feated him. Captain Shaw , later on Sir James Shaw Kennedy , gives another example of the duke's astonishing coolness. Near the close of the day , about 7 p. m. , ho galloped up to the duke , then directing the defense being made by Maltland's guards , with the momentous I . news that his line , 'the right center , was open for the whole space between Halkett's and Kemp's brigades. All that the duke replied was : "I shall "order the Brunswick ' troops to the spot and other troops besides ; N go you and get all the German troops of the 4 division on the epot that you can and all . the. guns you can flud. " And so he did. The duke himself led five 'battalions of the Brunswlckers Into the' gap , and with the charmed life which tie bore on that great day , when these young-and untried troops staggered under fho'lle'rco ' fire tnen encoun tered and the vigorous'onset of the French , ho throw himself amonj ; them , and by voice and gestures rallied them in to the fighting line. And then , hie dangerous duty done to his right center , ho galloped " back farther to his right to preoaro for "the storm just about to break Napoleon's final effort with hie guard , which he only employed In his battles In Eomo great crisis of the struggle.

So this yellow , sunburned life drags Its yellow weight acrosis the endless plains , rays a writer In the Atlantic Monthly. A fatelike , awful march ; no hope , no halt for a man or beast , but on , on over the spreadIng - Ing billows of biting eands , of glowing , shift ing , sinking sands , with overhead the hot sky , blue and hard and blazing in its midst the scorching eye that burns and blisters with Its sight. In agony the camels stumble on , beat at the dense hot wall. Desperately the coolies hide their faces In the ihot , swayIng - Ing munches before them , but through Hbelr stupor there beats a wave of consciousness. A s > hudder brings them to a knowledge of a something awful. Through the sun-steeped , sun-bleached minds there cuts a keener stab. They are awake to what ? Into the coai-ae camel hair they dig their flEts ; tighter they press to the living things beneath them ; they look not to ono an other ; words they have not. In the pres ence of this 'heat ' they dare not breathe. Convulsively they cling to the stumbling beasts and In low , dry sobs the anguish of body breaks forth. Between the two. the brute and man , there strikes a flash of mutual pain and torment. An Instant , and down the camel line there breaks the brutes' thrill , > ' * * Sunday Comes * But Once a Week 41 : 80 Don't Miss the * * * The Handsomest Newspaper published west or east.

In It comes a question for the shrinking -wretches lying on their humps. The bitter sounds fall on the parched , tense air and die away. Far and away comes a gasp a hot , vicious pant. Again It cornea a breath of fire that Is touched and Is gone. The great line halts as ono. A blank , dead moment ; In it the bosom of the desert heaves and a breath rolls toward the waiting lino. With broken moans the creatures bend their knees and wait tno coming storm. Another scorching breath a timeless wait. Far to the east It starts , across the sands It whirls In circling hoops that form at lost a wall. On It curls swiftly , silently ; with a hot , fierce lurch it falls upon the crouching bacKs , stinging with fangs of fire , pelting , blinding the gasping , panting creatures ; with Its dry laeh whipping out the lives of men and beasts. Faster , thicker , hotter fall the sands , crushing and burying with a merciless weight an ocean of burning flre , pouring wrath and strength upon these wretches art It hurls its mad force across th desert. The billows toss and heave and break at last to sweep on on to other prey. Chnuncuy'H .Vew Joke.

" A "HOT" COLD Sonic Iimldo Hlntory of the Famoim "Hollar Dinner. " One of the waiters at a popular local res taurant , relates the New Orleans Times- Democrat , Is a bird of passage from the Bow ery and was a member of the emafi army that served the famous "Dollar Dinner" In Now York last April. A good many stories have been told of that memorable event , but none of them surpass his own In point of plcturesqueness nnd Inside detail. "It was the funniest push I was ever in In mo life , " he says , confidentially. ' 'Tho kitchen was so small they had to cook everything on the outside , and when It got there It was dead cold. Tbo second course was haddock , and each fish come served lu a linen bag , so we could put 'em In tubs of hot water and warm 'em up see ? Well , some of the boys got rattled and served 'em bags and all1 , with egg sauce over th' outside. Say , you'd of died laughing seeing them ffillnrs tryln' to carve their fish. 'This Is the toughest ould haddock I Ivor tackled In me life , ' says one Tammany man at the head table ; 'lt'0 got a akin like a rhlnocyrls , ' says he. In the kitchen there was a riot all night long. It was so small the waiters couldn't reach the dlshors-up and they got to scrapping for front places In the lino. Ono man was knocked stiff with a turkey , and when they picked him up I thought ho was dead. I did , on the Tevol. But It wasn't blood. It was only cranberry sauce. Another llunkey fell Into the salad and one of the cooks put a can of Ice cream In the oven , thinking It was brown gravy for the beef. That's on the square Just as I'm tellln' you ! But the worst of all was when wo came to wine. ' It was 'Merlcaa champagne In half pints , without Ice , and of all the kicking nnd hollering ! One fresh gent told mo It was the only thing ho had had that night that was good and warm , and ho had hardly said It when a waiter that was a little jcggcd accidentally poured about a quart of boIMn' coffee down the back of his , neck. Say , you ought of heard him cussl ) Between you and mo , a good many waiters got to hitting the wine , and they found ouo of 'em with fifteen empty 'bottles ' In his pants leg. That's honett. I saw It myself. It was tbo hottest banquet I was ever at. " TRUSSES- ELASTIC STOCKINGS- CRUTCIIES SUPPORTERS , etc , made to order by competent workman.
