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. "

could
hardly have been Imagined
limn thofle which prevailed today for the
n , iJ"0 ! ' the < w' ? n lh ( % oatl1 under the
Newport Yacht llaclng ns-
soelntlon. 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. The couro was triangular frmn
"s'n ' o boat oft Point Judith , thpnce to a
2nLk ? ° n.Wct . , Island nnd back to the
Miming Island at Brenton's Reef lightship
tolal dlrtance being about
I 1 i In..ncLlnIf : hour's sailing before the nccl-
lcnt to the Defender occurred It was dem-
1 om lrntcd that the result would bo a line
victory for "the Columbia and nil question
as to the ability of the new champion of
American laurels iln a stiff breeze bo practi
cally nettled ,
. 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.
CHIEF TElinOll OF THE DESERT.
Hovr Trnvelcrs Across the Siihnrn.
Drcnil thc Awful Slmooii.
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 ,

soulllko cry. In It they voice their all , the
pent-up spirit of the blttei yellow beasts ,
burdened and tortured for life. 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.
An inquisitive Britisher , a noble duke ,
wanting to know exactly how to pronounce
the gifted orator's name , went for him after
the manner ot LI Hung Chang. ( By the
way , Li's Inquisitorial methods are being
adopted by not a few ot the swells. ) "Do
they call you De-poo , Dep-oo , Depue , Dep-u&
or Dcep-or ? " asked his grace. "I never was
called In my life , your grace , because I
never played , " was the American's reply.
"Ha ! ha ! ono of your poker Jokes , " laughed
the duko. "But I am serious. " Then the
senator , also serious , answered : "There are

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. "

Sore Eyes
A good many cases of sore eyes arc
caused by strain of the nerves and mus
cles. Constant Irritation produces In-
Humiliation. The Inflammation spreads
to the lids , the lashes or whatever part
Is naturally weakest I have seen a
great many cases In which the lashes
come out too freely entirely cured by
glasses. Styes are nearly always
caused by eye strain , If the lids stick
together In tbo morning , If tlic eyes burner
or water , you may depend nine times
out of ten that the eyes are out of focus.
There Is no necessity for cyo water or
eye salve. If the strain Is once re
moved nature will do the rest. Nothing
hut. glasses will remove tbo strain ,
Glasses nro my specialty.
