ing yachts.

—In the race between the picked arews of the Schuylkill 
and Patapsco navies at Baltimore on Tuesday, the Schuyl- 
kill crew won with ease in 13 min. 53} sec. Distance, two 
miles. The race between tue home crews for the cham- 
pionship uufortunately resulted in a foul. 
Regatta on tite Schuylkill.— 1 The annual regatta or 
the Vesper Boat Club, which took place Saturday upon 
the Schuylkill, proved a decided success. It was rmved 
over the national course, from the Falls Bridge to Rock- 
land, and the banks on either side of the river were lined 
with spectators, in carriages, ahorse and afoot. 
The first race was for single sculls, prize, a club cup 
Competitors, Vim, Will. J. Kerr ; Vision, Will. W. Maris- 
Vox, Will. T. McNeely. Distance, one mile aud a half 
The shells got away well together shortly after 5 P. ]\I ; 
but Kerr and Maris soon fouled, and consequently Mc- 
Neely obtained a fair lead he never relinquished. He won 
the race in twelve minutes and thirty-four seconds Kerr 
being second. 
The second race wa3 for double scull gigs ; prize, a club 
cup The contestant were : Vivandiere, Howard Mur- 
phy, stroke; J. DeF. Junkin, bow; coxswain, C. Mc- 
Cord ; Vamos, Alonzo Parsons, stroke ; Elias Hanson 
bow; coxswain, Thomas Hudson. Off Peters’ Island the 
Vamos were fully nine lengths ahead, and they main- 
tained this position to the goal. Time— Vamos, 13 min- 
utes, 15 seconds ; Vivandiere, 13 minutes 44 seconds. 
The third race was the finest and certainly the most 
exciting. It was for the champion fours of the club and 
was contested by the crews of the Viper ami the Vandal 
rhe first mentioned crew comprised Tlieo. Vom-l stroke 
F. Godshal, A. E. Abbott J. B. Mingus, bow The 
latter, II. W. Peacock, stroke ; W. T. Corson T B 
Evans, Harry McMillan, and W. J. Kerr, coxswain The 
how of the Viper steered that shell. A capital start was 
effected, the \ ipers gliding quickly in advance of their 
oes but steering so frightfully wild that they lost several 
lengths, aud eamc very near fouling several times It was 
not until half the course was covered, however that the 
Vandals managed toget on even terms with their opponents 
but wiieu they did, they held their posiiion sturdily and’ 
it was a lmw aud-b.nv race down the home stretch ' ’ The 
Yandals bow finally pointed her nose home victress b-

Editor Forest and Stream:— 
We have learned since onr last that the reason the University was not 
represented at the last Saratoga convention was not duo solely to the 
delegate's tardiness. As has been announced, tho Schuylkill Navy hold 
their uninml regalia Juno filth and I7ili. The college boat club will en- 
ter a crew for the fonr-oared shell race to be selected from tlu< following 
gentlemen:— \V. It. Addicks, M; Samuel T. Kerr, '76; Calhoun Mr- 
giirgco, '75; W. R, Phlller, ’15; Hugh L. Willoughby, '77; Sterling Mor- 
rison, '75; W. W. Porter, ‘75; Eugene Townsend, medical department.

or Kerr, 3; Townsend, bow. The bont to be used will be one now being 
built by Fearron, of Yonkers. But to quit the physical and turn to the 
mental, from brawn to brain, from the closo of oxumlnntlona for de 
grecs (May 81st) up to Commencement day (Juno 'Mill.) '75 has had 
leisure to recline in their Alum Mater’s lap, and deck her with the 
choicest Mowers of their fancy, and this they have done by celebrating 
the time-honored events of class and ivy days Upon the first occasion 
all that they bad acted was set forth by Mr E B Morris In the History ; 
nil that tboy Imd learned by Mr. Smyth In tlm Oration, anrl nil that they 
hoped to be by Mr Elliot in the Prophecy; besides, nil their poetic ge- 
nius was centred in Mr Castle's "AaClvpindlc Minor" verse. Upon the 
second, after an oration by W. W. Porter, the ivy was planted- the Ivy, 
symbolical of the ever-growing affection for their Alum Motor, which 
ago or the devastation of time can only serve to nourish.

Unfortunately, instead of the moon wo wore compelled to content our- 
selves with the bright eyes of maidens, “burning yet tender,” not to 
speak of the “sbiulng lights" of the class; aud In place of the aforesaid 
dews a thunderstorm necessitated a hasty retreat to thg Latin Hall, wiinro 
dancing was continued till long after the hour at which cur fine becomes

Harvard University, June 27il», 1875. 
Editor Forest and Stream :— 
The football match between Harvard and Tufts came 
off yesterday afternoon. Both elevens played very well; 
and Harvard was declared defeated. The rules were some- 
what like t lie McGill rules, but with sufficient difference 
to render the practice Harvard had had under these rules 
of little account. To an outsider. Harvard seemed to have 
not the slightest chance of winning, as her men were all 
of light weight, from one hundred and twenty to one bun 
dred nnd fifty-five pounds; while Tufts brought out men 
most of whom would weigh one hundred and fifty nl 
least and one hundred nnd eighty at most. She had but 
one man who was very light, and two who were considered 
as about first-class runners— one made the 100 yds. dash 
in 10J seconds, and all were in good training. When 1 he 
play commenced the superior" manner in which Tufts 
backed her own with her own was noticeable, while Har- 
vard was much the quicker. The umpires were Prof 
Pitman, for Tufts, and Mr. Whiling, tor Harvard. Prof. 
Pitman learned the game while in a foreign university 
aud has trained liis men in nil the fine points. He seemed 
bound to have Tufts win, and, as Mr. Whiting seemed to 
be overawed by his colleague, gave all Hie douniful points 
to Tufts.

Thomas, and Lombard for Harvard. The best plavs were 
made by Harrington and Dwinnel, wiili Prof. I'.i'imm i<> 
back them on the Tails team ; while Thomas made some 
pretty good spurts for Harvard, and Lombard threw several 
men in a very pretty manner. 
1 be races at the Union Boat House on Monday afternoon 
were quite good. For the single scull race Mr. Wiley '77 
took his own time, and came back in 15 minutes 58 sec- 
onds. Mr Mudge was to have contested in this race but 
at the last moment found that* the stretcher in the boat be 
was to use was too short. The four-oared race was be- 
tween the Union Boat Club, with Williams, stroke; Morse 
Jj Dtc vens, 3; Eaton, bow; a crew consisting of Lorin< r 
78, stroke; Bacon, '70, 2; Taylor, '77, 3; Morgan '78 
bow; and a crew from tbc Kcientilic School, with Otis' 
stroke; James, 2; Thayer, 3; Yznagu, how. Loring’s crew 
easily came 111 ahead in 14 minutes 15 seconds The prizes 
were handsome silver cups. * 
The Freshmen of Yale and Harvard played the first 
match of their series here to-day, with a score of G to 3 in

sides, and the double plays of Richards, (centre field,) .....1
