The University obtained an unexpected victory to-day In a game with 
the Atlantic*, professional*, of Brooklyn. The Princeton* mado a run 
In the first inning, uiul were "chicngoed” every other Inning nntll the 
eighth when they scored two mote run*. The Atlantic* scored two rnns 
In the fourth Inning, bnt failed to add another run to their score during 
tho rest of the game. Both nines made but fow error*, and the game 
was well contested. Walker's fine hit brought Langhlln in, who scored 
the flrvt run made by Princeton. Though Denny's Ono batting was quite 
praiseworthy, tt would have failed to increase the score had not tho At- 
lantic catcher allowed two balls to pass him. The lino ball caught by 
Woods of I lie University, and Campbell'S cxeollont play on first, wero 
some of the most brilliant features of tho game. With a good fielding 
nine and with strong bailors we do not four tho trial which awaits the 
University In the game to be played by It this week at Yale and Hnrvard.

Editor Forest and Stream:— 
The University nine left horc lost Thursday on its tonr to Harvard and 
Yale. On account of the defeat at tho hands of Yule on Wednesday, 
the 2fith, on o'. r grounds, we were rather doubtful as to the success of 
the nine. The first game was played on Friday, 23th, with Harvard, at 
Cainbridgo. Harvard won tho game by tho score of 10 to 3. On Satur- 
day the second gaino was played with Yale. This was tho flnost inter- 
collegiate game ever played. Princeton made eight base hits; Yale made 
none. Up to the eighth inning the score was 1 to 0 in favor of Prince- 
ton. During this inning, however, she scored two runs inoro. Both 
nines were retired without a run in the last inning. The score of tho 
game was 3 to 0 in favor of Princeton. This result was quito gratifying 
after the severe defeat received from Yalo on Wednesday, when the 
score was 14 to 4 in her favor. Tho third game will probably be played 
some time In June. The game for the championship of the colleges 
have resulted thus far as follows: Harvard has beaten Princeton twice, 
while Yale and Princeton have each won a game from the other.

Editor Forest and Stream:— 
For a start iu base ball our nine have been playing with the Boston, 
Hartford, Live Oaks, Princeton, and Kbodo Island clubs, with a senes 
of scores not to bo considered bad. The games with tho professional 
clnbs liavo b'-cn very good, indeed, while with the others the play has been 
unexceptionable. Our foot bull tcim still keep at work notwithstanding 
tho seiious losses It has beon subject to In the cases of Mr. A. Whiting 
of ’77 with strained knee, and Mr. Wentherbee of ’78 with broken collar- 
bone. Mr. Whiting is one of the best “half tends" In the college, whilo 
Mr. Weutherbeo is undeniably the best “rush" we have; both plnyed nt 
Montreal Inst Fall, and Mr. Wentherbee won two ont of the three “touch 
downs.” The club has played several games with the graduates with 
successful results. Tho Tufts’ Foot Ball club are to play us a mulch 
game on Jarvis' field on the 2d of June, nud ns that will probably bo tho 
ouly game wo shall play with members of other colleges this Spring, the 
interest will probably be quite strongly aroused. Boating mailers are 
still progressing. The crew were threatened with the loss of Mr. Taylor, 
but fortunately for all concerned in Harvard tho scaro wns worse than 
the harm, since no harm has been done. 
The Athletic Association held their field meeting on Jarvis' field to- 
day Tho programme was very good, but owing to accidents happening 
to some of our best athletes the interest was greatly deadened. Tho 
jumping was not as good as has been recorded outside, and tho running 
not as good, as some of tho host runners in college wero laid up, and tho 
winners had nothing to spur then on. The rosults were as foUows : 
Running High Jump — Won by Hubbard, '78. Height. 4 feet 10 inches. 
Running Long Jump— Linzer, '77. Distance, 18 feet 4 inches. 
Our Hundred Yards Race— Herrick, '77. 
Two Mils Race— Raymer, '78. 
0ns Mi/e Walk— Taylor, ’77. 
Throwing H ate Halt— Tyng, ’7(t. Distance thrown, 872 feet 5 Inches. 
Hurtle Race- Hinckley, '71. 
One Mile Running Race— Lowell, '77. Prize, silver cup, presented by 
Mr. Merriam, '71. 
Three-leaned Race— Sawyer and Stiles both of '77. 
Quarter Mile Race— Bird, ’77. In little less than one minute. 
Three Mile Walk— Taylor, '77. 
The last was not completed, ns all the competitors retired st the end of 
the second mile, leaving Mr. Taylor all alone. The first milo was com- 
pleted by Mr. Taylor In 8 minutes and 25 seconds Tho prizes were 
mostly presented by the association— all but the first, second, and eighth 
— consisting of cups, stands, card receiver, and ball. Tho day was very 
oppressive, and it is believed that the Fall mooting will improve on this 
to a considerable extent. M. 
Cambridge, May 30th, 1875, 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
The boating men of Harvard nrc entitled to bo congratulated on the 
successful working of the club system, modeled after that of the Eng- 
lish universities, nud flrsL introduced by them lust Autumn as a factor m 
the intercollegiate strife for aquatic honors. Upward of 230 studente 
have availed themselves of the privileges accruing from membership in 
one or other of the Holworthy, Holyoke, Matthews, or Weld chibs. The 
four clubs take their names from certain of the college halls; draw their 
members from certain well defined sections of the college domain, and 
occupy premises adjoining thoso of tho Harvard University Boat Club 
and Blakey's extensive establishment, where most of tho shells pulled 
at Springfield and Saratoga have been built. On the rests of the differ- 
ent clubs are to bo found more than thirty boats, comprising six and 
four oared barges, single and double sculls, and pair oars. Yesterday 
the floats, balcony, and roof of the Union Boat Club and tho sea wall 
which skirts tho Charles Itiver back of Beacon street, wero thronged 
with collegians and their fair admired and admiring friends, gathered to 
witness the Harvard Spring races over tho Charles Biver courso. Tho 
sky was smiliug, the air cool and bracing, and tho water smooth. In the 
first event, a two-milo turning race, set for four o'clock P. M., and not 
delayed more tliau half an hour, each club was represented by a four- 
oared crew wearing the club colors, Holworthy’s being dark blue and 
white, those of Holyoke's light blue and white, Weld's orange and 
black, and those of Matthews crimson and black. The crews drew posi- 
tions In the order named, Holworthy being inside, nearest tho wall. Weld 
at the start gained a slight lead. Holworthy enmo close behind, and 
once in tho first quarter headed Weld. Holyoke and Matthews well to- 
gether at tho first, counted three and four respectively. The Weld* 
pulled a clean, strong stroke, well together and in excellent time. The 
men in the Holworthy boat were larger and stronger looking, bnt tho 
Welds' fine form and regular action enabled them to keep tho lead and 
turn tho stake first, and to maintain the lead to tho finish lino, despite 
Holworthy’s despuruto spurting to close the gap. Holyoke and Matthews 
turned the outer stake in the order named, but tho latter was soon left 
far astern and out of tlio race. The Uolyokcs Dulled bard to close tho 
gap between them and the Holworthy boat, but to no purpose. Wold, 
the winner, and Holworthy second, seemed well blown and 
devoid of all power to spurt at tho finish. The time 
made was as follows: Weld, 15 min. 69 sec. Holworthy, 16 
mlu. 8} sec.; Holyoke, :6 min, 291 sec.; Matthews, 17 min. 21 sec. The 
crews were made up ns follows: Weld, Brown, ’77, stroke; Daaforth, 
‘57, 2; Liltanor, '78, 8; Green, ’76, 4; G. B. Ogden, '77. coxswain; Hol- 
worthy, Macmillan, ’74, stroke; Brown, ’76.2; Upborn, ’77, 3; Llngee, 
'77, 4; Butler, ’75, coxswain; Holyoke, Harrison. ’76, stroke; Isham, 
'78,2; Raymer, '78,3; Page, '78, 4; Morris, coxswain; Matthews, Rob- 
erts, stroke; Flint, '75, 2; Curren, '77, 3; Brett, '77, 4; Jeuuison, '77, 
coxswain. A set of silver goblets was awarded tho winners. In the 
three-mile race for the Beacon cup and a set of silver goblets, four slx- 
onred crews contested. The Holworthy six took the iuside position, 
Weld was uekt; then Holyoke; toen Matthews. Much interest was felt 
in this race, because the crews had been some weeks In (raining, and 
were considered to bo quits evenly matched. Tbo Matthews men were 
tho heaviest, and pullari a long, strong stroke. Weld's »troke, set by 
LorlnR. the stroke oar in tho Freshman six. was clean and oven, ndy- 
okc pulled gracefully, while the Holworthy men handled their oar* in a 
vigorous, hearty fashion, which inspired confidence, thongh their stroke 
set them a bad example in uot pa 111 ug straight backward and forward. 
Iu spite of bad form, however, they jumped away at tho slurt, aud soon 
gained a lead of at least two lengths. Weld, Holyoke, and Matthews 
went off toward the right In a bunch, w hore Matthews soon went to tho 
front, and led Holworthy almost to the tarn. Holworthy spurted, and 
tho two turned their respective stakes together. Holworthy again got 
away with the lead, Matthews pulling hurd after Inside of Weld, which 
turned next, and the Holyoke boat, which unostentatiously brought up 
tho rear. The crews maintained their rclattvo positions to tho finish. 
Holworthy, however. Increased Its distance from Matthews, which stead- 
ily drew away from Weld and nolyoko. Holworthy crossed the lino In 
19 min. IU see , followed by Matthews in 19 min. 18 sec,, Wold In 19 
min. 31 sec., and Holyoke in 19 min. 43» *cc. Holworthy's time Is note- 
worthy, ns being better than the fastest time mado in any race between 
Yale and Harvard In lnpstrcok sixes iu the days of Intercolleginlo riv- 
alry on Lake Qninsigamond. On July 24th, I860, the Harvard Freshmen, 
in the Thetis, a craft originally built for the Pari* crew, pulled three 
miles in 19 min. 40J see. In the Citizens’ Regatta on Lake Qiunalga- 
mond, July 27, 1859, the crow of the Yalo, a slx-oared shell, carrying a 
coxswain, mado tho three miles In 19 min. 14 sec. The author of “Four 
Years at Yale" claims that "the time was the fastest ever mado iu Amer- 
ica to that date, and bas never been equaled by a six-oared American 
crew carrying an adult coxswain,” with which statement the recorded 
time of Yale’s six-onred crew, with coxswain, in I860, hardly harmon- 
izes, the time being 19 min. 10 sec. on that occasion. G. F. Roberts 
acted as llme-kecpor, and started iu both races lost Saturday, and Wen- 
dell Goodwin, '74. ns referee. S. G. Ward, Jr„ and S. Sherwood wore 
judges at tlio upper stake. Tho sixes comprised tho following gentle- 
men: Holworthy, Appleton, 73, stroke; Hall. *70, 2; Irving, L S. S , 3; 
Bolan, '70, 4; Guild, '76, 5; Denton, L. S. S., 6; Butler, '75, coxswuin;

Editor Forest and Stream: — 
Tho University cannot, like namlct, “bo bound In n nutshell and 
count itself a king of infinite space.” Its educational field, both mental 
and physical, is rapidly becoming more extended. Under tho Interest 
that Dr. Stlllo has aroused and the ceaseless efforts of Morris and Philler 
of 75, the College Barge Club has erected tho handsomest house od tho 
Schujlkill, the facilities of which river for rowing are too woll known to 
comment upon. On Saturday, May 29th, the Spring contest for tho 
athletic prizes came off, as announced, on the Y. A. C. grounds, at 
Wayne Station, G. It. R. There were numerous entries for short dash 
onc-raile race, throwing boll, hop, step and jump, running jump, throw- 
ing hammer, nud hurdle race. Titc successful contestants for tho fore- 
going were as follows: Short dash, 100 yards— Kerr, of 75, with honor- 
able mention of Geyelin, who came in a qnarter second behind; time, 
111 seconds. Milo race— Tlie entries “went to see a mail," mid did not

Editor Forest and Stream:— 
Since my last letter the competition for the Woodford gold medal, for 
tho most successful oration, considered both as to merit and delivery, 
has taken place. There were six contestants— ono a representative of 
tho co-educatiou branch of tho university— and tho contest, taken as a 
whole, was considered the best of tho kind since the founding of tlio 
university. Miss Bradford, of Boston, tho young lady contestant, did 
exceedingly well, and many (bought that she fully earned the medal, or 
if not that, certainly honorable mention. But the committee of award 
adjudged the medal to Mr. G. H. Fitch, the successful intercollegiate es- 
sayist, and honorabiifincntion to Mr. I). J. Tompkins. Tho competition 
for the above named medal is confined to members of tho graduating 
class. Saturday, the 22d of May, the annual Spring regatta of tho Coi- 
nell Navy took place, and proved a grent success in all respects. The 
day was pleasant yet not very warm, ntid the lake as quiet as a mirror. 
The long train of cars was erowdud with students and citizens, with a 
goodly number of ladies in the passenger conch provided for thoir use, 
and evety ono was pleased and satisfied with tho morning's sport. 
Tho first race was for the Sprague aud Tom Hughes cups, for six-oared 
shells. Two entries for the Urst cup and ono for tho second, benco tho 
three crews rowed together. The crows had bad but little practice be- 
fore (lie race, yet they rowed a flno raco. Tho '77 crew won tlio Spraguo 
cup agniuat 76, iu 12m. los., 76 making 12m. 20s. The 77 Tom Hughe* 
crow won their cup, a row over, in 12m 434s. The second raco was for 
single sculls, tho winner to go to Saratoga. Entries, Francis, 76, Reed, 
'78. Francis won by abont half mile In 16m. 56Js., never being poshed 
during the race. Tho third race was between the University six, Sara- 
toga crew, a crew from Union Springs, In which was Courtney, tho fa- 
mous amateur siDgle sculler, and the University Freshmen six, Saratogu 
crew. The raco was a splendid effort throughout, aud It was only ou the 
last half mile that the Uulversity six succeeded in leavlug the Courtney 
crew in tho rear. Time— University, 11m. lls.; Union Springs, 11m. 
27s.; Freshmen, lira. 494*. Tlio distance for each raco was two miles, 
and each race was won by a paper boat. Three more laurels for the 
paper. The University crew is now arranging a three-mile ruce with tho 
Union Springs crew, to come off in a weok or two. Bayard Tuylor is 
here at present delivering a course of lectures on “German Authors of 
the Fast Century ." He Is giving grent satisfaction. Our base ball nine

where it is biuck. Numbers have been caught weighing a pound, and 
some nearly two. Tho bait used Is broad dongh, though I have seen 
them caught with files. Thoy were at first called chub; then white fish, 
silver trout, and grass bass. Con you settle the question of name, or 
shall I send you a specimen? Ans. It is Impossible to form an opinion 
on such slight data, which are really no datu ut ail. Our correspondent 
docs not even specify whether the fish inhabits fresh or suit water. Tho 
names he mentions could not be applied to auy ono Halt except by very 
superficial observers. Semi a rough drawing or description, or belter

G- B. D., Rochester— Permit me to como to you for advice in regard to 
my young pointer, ono and a half yeors old. He I* from good native 
hunting stock; mother said to be from imported stock some generations 
back. When about six months old the pup was poisoned, but I saved lit* 
life; poison affected one front leg; was very lame for months; tried vu- 
rious liniments, etc ; tn time recovered almost entirely, bnt when run- 
ning goes a trifle stiff; Is thin, aud a delicate feeder; passed n good many 
worms when young, caused by unboiled milk, I suspect. He Is very ten- 
der; can't bear exposure daring Winter, or punishment. Is extremely 
Intelligent, but I four has beon spoiled by being petted by tbo fennnlno 
part of the household, ilavo had him out lu thu field a few times; ho 
ranges well, and quartora the ground obedient to signal, but points from 
sight more than scent. Ho "stiffens" whenever a bird or fowl comes 
near the yard, and will creep ou them, sometimes being five or ten min- 
utes moving forty or fifty feet; stops at the word "toho," etc.; Is well 
“jnrd broken.” Have gained many good hints from Forest and 
Stream, and would like your advice us to what Is best to do with tho 
parp. He Is double nored, sort of u loose, disjointed concern, and won't 
lay on fat Gels plenty of exercise, a warm bed, and a variety of grub, 
but be don't tone down into an “old reliable" business sort of a dug, 
such os I want. Aus. From tho effects of the polson.and the petting 
your dog has undergone, and from his timidity, we doubt very much If 
be will ever amount to much In the field. Wo would not consider him 
worth brooking; yet sometimes such dogs do pretty well after they get 
to be two or three year* old.
