— The following is the new rule of measurement for 

 yachts proposed by the Royal Thames Yacht Club, of Lon- 

 don, England: — "The length shall be the distance from the 

 fore part of the main stem to the after part of the stern 

 post, measured in a straight line along the deck. The 

 breadth shall be the distance between the outsides of the 

 outside planks or wales, measured in a direction perpen- 

 dicular to the length, an() where that distance is longest. 

 The depth shall be* the distance between the top of the cov- 

 ering board and the bottom of the keel at the middle point 

 of the length, and in a vertical direction when the yacht is 

 fairly floating. The product of the length, the breadth, 

 and the depth, divided by 200, shall be taken to be the ton- 

 nage of the yacht, any fraction of a ton being taken as a 



lull." 



— On Sunday week, the yacht Cygnet, of Port Rowan, 

 Canada, made the trip from the. Port to the "Cottages," 

 Long Point (nine miles), in thirty-eight minutes; the return 

 trip against a high head wind, and in a dense haze, being 

 made in one hour and ten minutes. 



— A special from Ottawa to the St. John Telegraph re- 

 ports that the Dominion Government are about to provide 

 five life boat canoes for the St. Lawrence. They will be 

 conveyed by the steamer Druid when that vessel goes down 

 to place the buoys, and will be placed in charge of respon- 

 sible parlies at proper points, so that crews can soon be 

 collected at any time, and valuable assistance rendered to 

 parties whose lives may be in danger from accidents or 

 wrecks. The following'points have been selected: LTslct, 

 Point Jolly, St. Roches, St. Anne, and Kamourasku. 



— Capt. Barkelew, the old commander of the famous 

 yacht Maria, who went, to France several weeks ago to 

 bring back the long lost vessel from Marseilles, lias re- 

 turned from Europe after a fruitless search for her. Be- 

 fore his arrival the craft had been let quietly slip out of 

 port with bogus clearing papers. The Captain believes 

 that she is furnishing arms and provisions to the Carlists 

 in Spain. He therefore traveled along the Spanish coast, 

 but nowhere could be find the least tidings of the Maria! 

 Her owners lay heavy blame on the American Consul at 

 "Marseilles for not exerting sufficient vigilance to prevent 

 her escape after having received timely warning from this 

 side of the Atlantic. 



—The Rev. Dr. Henry M. Scudder, of Brooklyn, has 

 purchased a line sloop vacht, named the Hora, from Mr. 

 Salem R. Davis, of Gr'oonport, <m private term* Dr.

 van; Treasurer, John B. Harding; Collector, John Flynn; 

 Directors, ffm. McGrane, M. J. Donovan, Philip McDon-

— Absalom and Nehemiah Long, Alex. Brayley and John 

 Lyons, of St. John, are waiting for an answer to their 

 challenge to the Ross-Foley crew. On Monday Mr. Nehe- 

 miah Logan, Straight Shore, Portland, will start for Halifax 

 with the*new lapstreak boat built by him for the Kennedy 

 crew, of the latter place. The craft, is the finest of the 

 class ever built in the Dominion, and it is thought that she 

 can cover four miles a minute faster than the boat Crown 

 Prince, in which the Logan crew was defeated by the Ross- 

 Foley's. Her weight is only 135 pounds. — St. John A'ews.

E Coli.kuh, Nkw Haves-, Nov. 33, Ism. 



The past week has been one of unusual activity with the Yale boys. 

 Two foot bull matches have been played, one with Stevens' histttntc, the 

 other wiih Columbia. The former was played on Wednesday last, the 

 latter on Saturday, and both were won In Yale, the former by a score of 

 7-0, the latter score was r> 1. Willi smh refills we ret I. very naturally, 

 much gratified, nnd our contests with Princeton College, the' champions 

 looked forward to with much eagerness, as they are sure to 

 be closely contested and very exciting. In all probability 'the first con- 

 test between Princeton and Yale w ill be played in Hew Y"ork on Saturday 

 nexr, when a game will be played which should attract attention and 

 which should draw a large attendance. 



The Stevens' twenty comprised:— Pointer, P. G., Fezaudie and Gray- 

 don, of 75: Durke, Duaue, Kingsland, Uiesenberger. Wall, Wiics, and 

 Tiininermnn, of 'TH: Roberta and I'ehling, of •77: Delworih. Kirschotl, 

 Kourler. Bosenbaiun, W. Smith, Yaii, and Weeks, of '78: with Benton. 

 T.-.. a-- Captain. 



Yale was represented by Deming and Bristol, P, C; Peters, Theo- 

 logical, A ven. Cochran. Fulton. Grinuell. Maxwell, and McCleutock, of 

 •7>: Hail. 7.-.. S. S. s.. Ann, Id. Ely, Phelps, Trumbull, Yuille. Wakemun, 

 Mid Wright, of '7S: Baker, Of '7 : W. Waits, of 7S: with Ml tiirucy. of 



It was generally anticipated that Yale would have an easy task of it. as 

 our opponents seemed younger and of lighter build than onr men. How- 

 ever, the two first goals proved to be closely contested while the remain- 

 ing four were won with consummate ease by Yale, as well as the last goal, 

 which was played merely for fun. The time of each goal was:— First, 

 •Jim :,;.s ; Second, 60m. 30s : Third, 4m. 558.; Fourth, 4in. :,|s.; Fifth, 

 5m.. 80s.; Sixth. ■Jul.; Seventh, am. C5s. This is a very good record. 

 The best playing was done by Kingsland, Binke, Rissenbauiu, Denton, 

 and Poinier, while by Y"ale. Peters, Grinncll, Avery, liall and Baker dis- 

 tinguished themselves 



The referee was E. .f. JIcKnieht. Yale. '70; the judges were Mr. Sorge, 

 '75, of Stevens, aud Mr. Pelts. 75, of Yale. These ofl'.cors performed 



manner m which they pci formed their very thankless fflskC The day was 

 all lhat could have been desired, and in this respect the day of the second 

 game, that between Columbia and Yale, a strong and unfavorable contrast 

 was noticeable. Friday had been very disagreeable. It had rained and 

 snowed, and it was thought highly probable that no game would occur on 

 the following day. However, Saturday was clear, but towards noon the 

 sky became overcast, and it remained cloudy and comparatively windy all 

 day. coupled with these little unpleasantnesses, we must add a very 

 great degree of cold, and one can readily imagine what the spectators 

 endured to behold the game. In spite of all these counteracting in- 

 fluences, the crowd which assembled at. the park far outnumbered that of 

 Wednesday, although the admission fee was twice as large, as a close 

 and more exciting contest was anlicipated, and also because the fact be- 

 came known that the Yale twenty were to appear in their new suits, blue 

 shirts and white caps, trimmed with blue. The game began at 2.J5 P.M., 

 when the following contestants appeared for Columbia:— Simonds Law, 

 75, Captain. School of Mines; Cornwall, Morewood, Rhodes and Timp- 

 BOQ,of 'i'j; Lindley. Radford and Hounds, of 77; Law School, McMahou, 

 Mo„ro, Sprague and Webb, of 75; Cornell and Yandevanter, of 76; 

 College, Bach, George, Hurry, Price, Root, and Weeks, of 77i. 



The Yule twenty was materially the same, except that Boshnell and 

 Tillinghast, the former a theological student, the latter a 75 man, placed 

 in the places of Ely nnd Yaille. The Colombia men presented a very 



II uppe. 



, blu< 



stockings, white shirts and blue 1. mdkercbjefi . and many 

 .,, „, , i s V i e bestowed upon them . Yale also looked finely in her new rig. 

 Columbia won the toss and cant, and the ball was set rolling by More- 

 wood, who bestowed upon it an excellent kick. The two twenties at first 

 seemed to be very evenly matched, and this goal was hotly contested, 

 Yale winning, owing to a good hit by Cochran, in 15m. 3,)s." After this 

 the ball was almost all of the time kept on the Columbia side, and her 

 men were generally outplayed at every point. Owing to numerous fouls 

 this goal was unnecessarily prolonged, lasting fijm. 51s. The third eoal 

 losicrt only tils, aud was rushed through splendidly by Yale, Wo donot 

 think that a goal has ever been kicked before in a regular game in so 

 short a time, and would like to know if we are correct. Ya'.o won the

Princeton College, November 21, 1871. 

 EniTon FoitEBT and Stueam:— 



The expected mutch between the Rutgers and Princeton College twen- 

 ties in foot bail, look place this afternoon. The game began at half-past 

 one o'clock and lasted until about half-past three. The first inning oc- 

 cupied over half an hour, and was won lie Princeton, who was impelled 

 to face a strong wind, in addition to her formidable antagonists. The 

 remaining five innings varied Trom five to twenty minutes in duration. 

 The whole six were secured by Princeton, though not. without great exer- 

 tion on hci part. (It is a remarkable fact that neither YiilcOolumhia, nor 

 Rutgers have yet been able to win a single goal from Princeton in font 

 ball i Both twenties succeeded in distinguishing themselves in the 

 came to day. Hendiiesoii and Cess, Rutgers men, did some very effee- 

 live playing, while Piddle, Ten F.yek. nnd Lienberger especially excelled 

 on the Princeton side. Foot ball is the only out door sporl indulged in 

 here now. The cold weather has put it stop to base bull, ana our oars- 

 men have been compelled by the same cause i,o retire from their labors 

 on the placid bosom of the cunsl to the congenial shelter of the gymna-

 was a billiard tournament for the college championship, open to all un-

 Tnesday evening. The fisst and second prizes were won by the mem- 

 bers of the senior class, and the third was obtained by a junior. Nino 

 entries were made, all but, the lowest class being represented.
