262 L Jan. 24; ed: 4/3,4 - The American College Rowing association held a meeting at Hartford, Conn., chiefly to appoint the location of the rowing course for next summer's regatta. Twelve colleges were represented. Public interest in the annual college races is growing every year and promises soon to reach the semi-insanity which prevails in London on the annual Cambridge-Oxford race day.

(9)

263 L Jan. 27; ed: 4/1 The College Boating association is made up of boys. After all, if they can't have things as they want them they throw down the oars and "won't play." Harvard, Dartmouth, and Bowdoin colleges threaten not to row at all. If a three-fourths majority cannot rule the College Boating association, how or by what principle is it to be governed? If the annual regatta cannot be rowed outside of New England waters, the northeast colleges ought to withdraw and give up the name of a "national association," and form a side show of their own. Harvard and Dartmouth always did show a disposition to break up what they did not control.

264 L Feb. 2; ed: 4/1 The row among the colleges over the regatta gets no nearer to a judgment. The New England morals are not proof enough against Saratoga influences; this seems to be the difficulty.

It is hoped that these young athletes may not be placed in a way to temptation, but if they won't go to Saratoga to row, it is very easy for Mr. Morrissey and his cohorts to go to Springfield to bet.

265 L Feb. 9; ed: 4/1 The agricultural college crew of Dartmouth explains the reason why it will not row in the Saratoga regatta next summer. The faculty is opposed to boating and has arranged commencement exercises for the day before the races, so that no college student can take part without losing his place in his class. As the Dartmouth crew has been roughly criticized, this explanation is due it and its friends.

266 L May 15:7/3 The young men of Cleveland labor under one disadvantage from which the Detroit and Toledo young men are free. They cannot form a boat club and take part in the grand rowing and sailing matches which of late have made the other two cities famous. There is plenty of water here but it is not in the proper shape.

BOATS & BOATING (Cont'd)

267 L July 18; ed: 4/3,4 - Because of the strong wind yesterday the Lake Saratoga races have again been postponed. The visiting crowd, having nothing else to do, poured itself upon the hapless President Grant.

"It will naturally be expected that after two such failures the race of today will be appointed for the morning hour, for another day's failure will leave Saratoga on the verge of famine."

(10)

268 L July 22; ed: 4/2,3 - There is nothing so successful as success. Before the college regatta, Columbia college was practically unknown. Since the Columbia crew came home with the university ribbon, Columbia is in every mouth. The victory has served as a first class advertisement of Columbia college.

Trustees, who last winter appropriated $1,000 for encouragement of rowing among the students, are doubtless congratulating themselves on having made a very judicious investment.

(6)

269 L Sept. 5; ed: 4/1 - "The more carefully the matter is looked into, the more apparent does it become that the American College boys are getting up on the science of first class rowing. A few years hence and they will be ready to throw down the glove to the English universities for an international race for the undergraduate championship."

272 L Feb. 18; ed: 4/1 The attempt to create a flutter in the New York stock exchange was the worst piece of rascality ever witnessed. Two telegrams, one from President Orton of the Western Union Telegraph co., and the other from P. D. Cox of the Toledo, Wabash and Western, stated they wanted to increase their capital stock. It was later ascertained that both telegrams were forgeries. Detectives are seeking the perpetrators.

278 L Jan. 28; ed: 4/3 A directory for the 43rd Congress prepared by a Mr. Poore is out. It contains a biography of each member of the Senate and House. The curious part of these "little histories" is the fact that in "doing" the Confederate part of these lives, in several instances, no mention is made of their services in aid of the "Lost Cause." It appears that the book is for general use and circulation in the North only, for not one of the names furnished was elected on any other issue than his services in the Rebellion.

279 L Mar. 5; ed:4/1 A general outbreak of the Dickens question is threatened. The last volume of Forster's biography reveals the great novelist's difficulties which set gossips wild. "With fragrant memories of the Byron business in mind, there is no newspaper reader but will cry 'Good Lord, deliver us.

280 - L Mar. 13:4/3,4 - Two superb volumes containing the survey of Ohio up to 1873 have been written. One volume contains the geology of Ohio, the other is devoted to paleontology; both books were by Prof. T. S. Hunt of Boston.

The task was begun nearly seven years ago. When the volumes are completed, they will become a valuable text book to miners and all others who seek information concerning the practical value of Ohio minerals.

281 L Mar. 18:4/1 - The New York HERALD of Mar. 16 contains lengthy reviews of the two rival biographies of Chief Justice Chase written by Messrs. Warden and Schuckers. The critic is very severe on Warden's book. We have no doubt that Schucker's work will be accepted as the standard biography of Chase.

283 L May 20; ed: 4/4,5 - The boys and girls of our day are currently supposed to be exceptionally blest in respect to the amount and variety of entertaining reading prepared for their enjoyment. To many of these wild haired and irresponsible writers there are no outlaws, male or female, too bad to be made to figure as heroes and heroines. Why will not parents take the pains to enlighten themselves as to what is proper mental food for their children?

A child resents being lectured as though his badness were a foregone conclusion. Much instruction and moral teaching may be, and should be, conveyed in the pages of a magazine, according to Mr. Dodge, the editor of ST. NICHOLAS.
