N*w London, Conn., June 2fi. —The two mile race between the Yale and University Df Pennsylvania freshmen crews on the Thames river oourse was won by Pennsylvania by about three-quarters of a length. The official time was: Pennsylvania, 10:G8Xi Yale, 10:1 IX. The race was very close throughout, but excited no enthusiasm. The Yale men got more credit for good work than their opponents. They looked sure to win at one and a half miles, but near the finish their No. 8 caught a crab and unshipped bis seat. His recovery was quick but he did not aid much for the remaining half mile, and Penusylvania, by a tremendous spurt, got the bow of their boat just ahead of Yale by the time the line was reached. Pennsylvania took the water first at the signal, and by rapidly running up a 39 stroke secured a length lead within the first 150 y ardsL Yale started off at85 strokes, pulling scientifically, closed the gap at the quarter mile, and was soon in the lead. At the half mile post Yale had a lead of two seconds, pulling 80 strokes to their opponents' 83. Pennsylvania was pulling a short, snappy stroke, while Yale was long and sweeping. After passing the half mil® point Pennsylvania gained a trifle, and both crews passed the mile flag in 4 mins., 45 sees. From the mile to the mile and a half flag both crews were pretty well together, Yale doing by far the litter rowing, but Pennsylvania pushed the bow of her boat slightly to the front, passing the mile and a half flag in 7:14 to 7:15 for Yale. The Pennsylvania apjeared quite fresh at the finish. It was their first victory on this river, and the first full race Yale has lost since 1885.

Honoring Head Heroes. OLD GARMENTS APPEAR NEW Tellurink, Colo., June 26.—About 10 o'clock Monday morning, while the bookkeeper of the San Miguel Valley bank was alone in the bank, three men entered, and, presenting pistols at his head, demanded the funds of the institution. After securing the bank funds they joined a fourth robber, who was holding their horses just outside the bank. They left town on the run, firing shots In the air to frighten citizen. It is not yet known just what amount they secured— probably only a "few thousands. They are heading for the Arizona line, with several sheriff's parties in close pursuit, and unless they have a change of horses it is more than probable that they will be captured before twenty-four hours are over.

Adm'nlu'ratrlx Itotlce. Hopdler MpQuade's Trial. Vineyard Haven, Mass., June 20.—It is generally conceded by old seafaring men hereabout that part of the wreckage which has been coming ashore is from the British steamer Victoria, now due at Baltimore from Pernam uco, but the wreckage supposed to be from the Huytieu Republic remains a mystery. Home think the Huytien Republic may have become disabled alter being reported at Pernambuco, may have returned tor repairs, and may have collided with the Victoria. Another possibility is that the report of the Hayt.eu Republic's arrival at Pernambuco was an error, and that she was wrecked off this coast. A cat was recovered from the ruins at Johnstown Saturday. It was a veritable skeleton, its neck being no thicker than a man's finger. The feline was carried to Red Cross hospital, where it was cared for and christened "Red Cross Flood."
