THE UNIVERSITY RACE.
Harvard v. Yale-Vale tbe Winner.
Worcester, Mass., July 22. At 5f the Uni
versity crews were summoned to appear and
meet again in the annual contest for the cham
pionship. Again delay, tedious and unpleasant,
but relieved at length by the appearance of the
superb-looking Harvard crew. Cheers greeted
them, loud and long. For, be It known, Wor
cester crowds on regatta day are all well red,
and their sympathies and wishes are never for
a moment doubtful or kept quiet.
Then appeared the Yale crew, and certainly
a finer-looking or better crew, so far as out
eiders could judge, has seldom come upon
waters like Qulnsigamoud I mean as regards
their style and appearance, not as regards their
strength. The Yale men were all bare as to
their frames, while the Jlaryards clothed their
nakedness with white shirts. The start was
first-rate, both crews dropping their oars at the
same moment. Yale, with her usual luck, hav
ing won the outside position, ttaej started off,
pulling about the same number of strokes
forty-four and keeping close together.
As they passed Regatta Point they were
greeted with all the noise that brass and drum,
powerfully reinforced by thousands of pairs of
lungs, could make; while the ladies waved
handkerchiefs and shouted to themselves for
very joy. On sped the boats, the same steady,
sturdy, determined rowing, and neither a pistol
shot from the other. When the boats had
reached the mile stake it was seen that their
course was taking them right into the shore.
Harvard perceived her mistake early and bet
tered her condition; but Yale kept steadily on,
so that when her course was changed she lost
fully ten seconds. Harvard thus took, the lead,
and turned the stake first.
The boats then passed well nigh out of sight
from the judge's boat. That Yale was doing
nobly all felt; and Yale stock began to rise
above par. And its rise rivalled that of gold in
war times, when, on the reappearance of the
boats, Yale was seen in the van, Harvard close
in to the west shore ; still the same steady
stroke, about thirty-eight to the minute. Then
came lond cheers, filling the air with enthusias
tic shouts for "Yale! Yale!" and amid cries of
"Spurt her, rhclps," "Bully for you, boys,"
Yale shot across the line, and for the first time
in five years the Blue came in ahead of the
Magenta.
The Harvard crew followed in twenty minutes
and thirty seconds, but, as was seen, minus the
important instrument known as a rudder. Not
to be behind the precedents of the afternoon,
she at once put in a claim of foul. Yale had
crossed her bows and run into her. So the Yale
crew were called up and allowed to state plainly
their side of the question. This was that the
Harvard crew, in turning the stake, carried
away the flag and broke their rudder on the
take. They (Yale) also ran ou to the
take, and the crash of their boat striking
the stake and Harvard's breaking her
rudder, was so simultaneous that Harvard was
deceived in belief that Yale had run into them.
80 another question was referred to the judges
and the referee, whose decision has not yet
been made. It was curious to notice how little
enthusiasm was manifested at Yale's success;
while if the Red but crosses the line first,
poems and songs of thanksgiving rend the air.
However, the decision may be given to the Yale
crew with but few words of encouragement to
urge them on. Thev have done their work
nobly, and Yale men to-night are a happy and
jolly set of fellows.
THE yATIOXAL CAMP MEETING.
Impressive Closing Hcenes and Services.
The correspondent of the Baltimore American,
writing from Oakington Grove, Md., last even
ing, says:
After my last letter lelt, our camp was visited
by a sudden and very heavy storm. It com
menced with a gust of wind, followed by thun
der and vivid lightning, and then the rain poured
down, causing a suspension of religious services
in the Tabernacle and tents. This morning the
eun rose in splendor. The first hour after day
light was appropriated to calling at the rooms
01 "the committee" and settling up the accounts;
then arranging domestic matters preparatory to
hasty removal in the morning. At 8 o'clock all
were summoned to the Tabernacle for Love
Feast exercises.
In experience meeting form was adopted,
during which several hundred persons, some
from Maryland and Virginia, declared their ex
periences at that hour. This was a meeting of
great power. One of the preachers rose under
the enthusiasm, and declared his belief that the
Church was now under marching orders in the
grand campaign of Christian holiness, and he
rejoiced to see that the princes of Methodism
in Maryland, Virginia, and other places are fall
ing inte line. This was loudly responded to.
At one o'clock the members were all re
quested to spend a season of private prayer In
their tents, and the 12th chapter of the Hebrews
was selected for their meditation.
The afternoon sermon was preached by the
Rev. Dr. Gray, of Philadelphia. At the close,
on invitation all the preachers again descended
and sought holiness of heart at the altar.
At 6 P. M. the Love Feast services were re
sumed. All the persons who have been con
verted or sanctified at this meeting had the first
privilege of speaking, and many indeed re
sponded in glowing, affecting religious experi
ences. The closing scenes were of the most
impressive character. The Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper was administered, attended by
Divine power, and the vast assemblage present,
including quite a number of the members of the
African Church, praised God in the fullness of
their hearts. When the last graud march of
redeemed souls around this never-to-be-forgotten
"Oakington Camp Ground" took place, fare
well hymns, long adieus, and personal cove
nants to meet in Heaven were witnessed la
every direction, and about the hour of midnight
the solemn benediction was pronounced.
PUOTOORAPIIY UNDER DIFFICUL
TIES. Confidence Men HefuHe to Hit for Their Pic
ture. Special Ofllcer Sherman, of the Twenty-sixth
precinct, noticed two suspicious-looking charac
ters on the pier of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany, at the foot of Canal street. After watch
ing them for some time be accosted them, and
as they could not give any satisfactory account
of themselves, the officer arrested them and
took them to the City Hall, and from there to
Police Headquarters (by order of Captain
Thome), where they were at once
recognized by Superintendent Jourdan and
Captain Kelso as notorious confidence opera
tors. The names are George English, alias
Carroll and John Reslgne, alias Pickle Johnny.
On their way to headquarters English said that
"he'd be If he would allow his photograph
to be taken for any purpose." In the presence
of Superintendent Jourdan, Reslgne said that
they "had not enough detectives on the force to
compel him to sit for his picture." The Super
intendent told Kelso to take them to No. 223
Bowery and get their picture, and to take as
many detectives as necessary to hold them.
Captain Kelso sent Detectives Woolrich, Clapp,
Tieman, Tully, Irving, Dusenbum, and Eus
tace with them. On arriving at the above-
named gallery, they found

detectives then took them up stairs to the gal

camera and kicked it over, breaking it In pieces.
Tieman jumped at English and caught him by
the throat, and would have strangled him had
not some of the other oflieers separated them;

THE COAL TRADE.
The Xlht-har Fallere Preepeete ef a Re
nmptlen Important Artlsn bv the Miners
Yesterday Qaatatloaa Etc.
The eight-hour moreracnt.lintended by the leaders
of the W . B. A. to ant as a mind under which their
unreasonable demands might be obtained, has
turned out to be a complete failure. As predicted,
the workmen of the upper regions now working
were not so foolish as to suspend work at profitable
rates In order by the complete stoppage on the
nominal plea of eight hours to cause the Schuylkill
operators to comply with the demands of the men.
The few men of the Wyoming region who by some
misunderstanding were supposed to have suspended
on the eight-hour question, are now all working at
ten hours.
By this failure, the Schuylkill men have been
brought to see some glimmerings of reason. A
meetiwr of the delegates of the W. 11. A. was held In
rottsviTie on Thursoa? Mid JtTiaaj 91 this Weeii.
On the latter day yesterday, a resolution was passed
which proposes to resume work upon the basis of
1869, the f 3 basis, and in addition allow for an ad
vance and reduction of 8.V per cent, for every 2ft
cents advance or reduction on the $3 price. It is
also provided that rates shall not be less than 12.
This, though seemingly an adherence to the former
demands for the basis of 186U which was that cer
tain wages were to be paid when coal sella for 13 at
Tort Carbon with a proportionate advance cf wages
with an advance in price yet In reality the proposi
tion is a total withdrawal of all the domain) j in
which the strike originated.
By the t3 basis of '69 no allowance was m i to for a
reduction below the 13, butonly for an alviinjeoe
yond it. Consequently when prices fell Oolow that
figure the miners demanded full 3 rates, which the
operators were Justly unwilling to pay. The opera
tors to overcome this ditllculty and to allow them to
work at all proposed the ti fM basis, with propor
tionate rates for advances, which was rejected by
the miners, and the Btrlke ensued. Now after a
loDg season of ldlenvssthe men proposed In other
words, the same thing which was originally pro
posed by the operators. It would be too much of a
Btroke to their pride to say squarely that they agree
to the 12-60 basis ; so they propose the 13 basis with
provision for a decline, which, as regards the wagos,
amounts to very nearly the same thing as the 12-60
basis with provision for an advance. At the present
low price of coal It will allow Philadelphiamerchants
to oninete with New York, which they could not do
if they were obliged to pay 13 rates when coal was at
12-60.
But It remains to be seen whether these terms, as
now proposed by the men, will be accepted. A meet,
lng of the trade has been called for Monday, to take
action In the matter. While the arrangement is emi
nently satisfactory to some operators, It is by no
means certain that it will be accepted by the majo
rity. If for no other reason, the patience of the
trade here has been sorely tried by the late troubles,
and an immediate compliance with any proposal of
the miners, though it were the most reasonable, can
hardly be expected. The Heading Railroad Com
pany has let it be generally understood that a re
sumption of tolls on that road will take place on
Monday, in the event of a satisfactory termination
of the difficulties; but these, however, will be again
promptly withdrawn if the strike continues.
The terms proposed for resumption contain a
clause stating that if at the proposed prices any
miner working at contract woik makes over J UK)
per month, his employer shall deduct 10 per cent.
Horn the amount due him ; if he makes over f 125, 20
per cent. ; if over 15, 30 per cent. ; and if over
200. 40 per cent, to be deducted. This is intendad
as a substitute to the ridiculous motion which wis
passed at a former meeting, to which no sane man
in the pursuit of wealth and happiness would sub
scribe. Here it Is:
Resolved, That each member working on contract
work produce his docket to the branch or district in
which he pays his dues, and any peison making
anything over the average figures shall pay the
same ever to the District Treasurer.
The shipments last week at Mauch Chunk over
both railroads and canal were 122,219 06 tons, against
79,668 11 tons the week previous, an Increase of
42,660-11 tons. The shipments for the corresponding
week last year were 119,622 02 tons.

A New and Improved Method op Distil
ling Whisky. A new and superior method of
rectifying whisky so as to make it chemically
pure has lately been invented, and the process
used is Known as tne uuver ana Harris patent.
The process consists of distilling the liquor in a
vacnum-pan under reduced atmospheric pres
sure, thereby requiring a lower degree of tem
perature for the operation. Liquors distilled in
tne orainary way contain a very large
percentage of impurities, from the fact that
the degree 01 neat necessary is so
great as to vaporize all the deleterious ele
ments and gases which when condensed form
the fueel oil, so very deleterious to life and health.
The ordinary temperature for distillation is 213
degrees, but by the new method this is reduced
to 110 degrees. The usual methods relied upon
for the destruction of the fusel oil are age, ab
sorption by the cask, and chemical purificants
mixed with the liquor, none of which are per
fectly eltectlve. By the new method the liquor
is vaporized and driven off at a temperature
which will not affect the impurities, which con
sequently remain at the bottom of the pan and
can De drawn oit Dy means 01 a stop-cocK.
Various certificates from eminent chemical
and medicinal authorities in the hands of the
owners of the patent testify to the pnrity of the
substance. The possession of a pure article is a
great boon to the medical profession and to But
tering Humanity, ine process ages tne nquor
two years at least, ana thus a pure article is
obtained at a cheaper rate than au impure one
which has been kept for years to get rid of its
imperfections.
Mr. P. Ilevner. of this city, has lust opened
an establishment at No. 246 South Front street
and No. 117 Dock street for the rectifying of
whiskies by this new method. Fine machinery
has been fitted up at great expense for the pur
pose, and it is now in active operation and
working finely. The machinery consists of a
large reservoir, vacuum-pan ana appliances.

will do well to call at the establishment, where
the process and apparatus can be inspected and

MILITARY ETIQUETTE.
Captain Jahu A. K Tun The Nalnte,
We this morning received the following communi
cation, to which, as Is all similar cases, we cheer
fully give place:
Philadelphia, July 83, 1870. Editor Evening
TELEORArn : In your edition yesterday, In speaktnir
of the review to his Honor the Mayor, you observed
that I did not salute that gentleman. You attribute
my conduct to a want of respect to our chief magis
trate, which insinuation I regard as -unjust and cal
culated to do me great Injury.
Regulations require no salute to be tendered to a
person reviewing troops inferior in rank to the otllcer
in command of the troops being reviewed ; bat,
should it be necessary to make the ceremony com
plete in this respect, the commanding officer, or
some officer of equal rauk, shall place himself beside
the individual In whose honor the troopa are
paraded, so that the salute shall be given him. I
am not aware that his Honor has aDV recoenlzed
military rank attached to his position as Mayor of
the clt;, Dor did I see any military officer by his side 1
entitled to receive such comp'lment from officers
passing In column; hence, I feel justified in passing
witnout saluting, cnu cannot, iiiuis me omission an
lnHtilt, either implied or intended.
Bv swing tne aoove a piace m your columns vou
will very much oblige,
yours, respecuuuy, john w. rvan,
Capt. Co. A, 4th Rcgt., N. G. P.
When we wrote the article which appeared in our
columns yesterday we were perfectly aware that
there was no clause In Upton's tactics requiring
Captain Ryan or any other otllcer to salute a civi
lian. Rut military etiquette docs provide tor such
cases. It has ever been the custom amongst the
military, and especially amongst State milltl. when
reviewed by a civilian, no matter of what rank or
title, to pay him the compliment of a salute, and no
man in the 1st Division was better aware of this fact
than Captain Ryan. On several occasions lately
he has seen It carried out, and more
latterly in the case of the review of the New York
7th Regiment, at which Colonel Clark did not fail to
salute his Honor Mayor Fex. And he had still suf
ficient example in tmr conduct of Major-General
Prevost, wno, although a strict discipli
narian and a stickler fur all military rules, did
not forget the courtesy due towards one
who by his presence in his official
capacity honored the militia of Philadelphia. This
excuse of Captain Ryan is rather tame, and did we
wish to clve the fun facts or the case, we could, we
think, show that feeling and not military law was
his principal motive.
GENERAL WILLIAM A. LEECH.

A Boat that does not Want Stopping. A num
ber of gentlemen were taken by surprise yesterday
morning by the prompt action of the captain of
the John A. Warner In starting his boat from the
landine at Beverlv when they were within but a few
feet of the lioat. The Philadelphia papers are re
ceived at Beverly station, some half mile from the
boat landing, at 20 miautes past 7 o'clock, giving the
carriers ten minutes to convey them across the
town. This would be quite sumcient if the person
having thtm In charge was not continually stopped
when near the landing by an eager multitude to
get hold of the papers lu advance of others, thus
delaying the boat, whose time or departure is 7)tf
o'clock. Captain Cone, who is a business man, and
prompt In all his movements, has frequently pro
tested against this practice in bis usual mild and
gentlemanly manner, but all to no eirect. His pa
tience having become exhausted at last, he has de
termined to try another expedient, and not suffer a
large majority of his passengers to be delayed In
ecu In a to their nlaces of business bv the few Incon
siderate ones at Beverly. It is pleasant to know that
one of the gentlemen who were left standing upon
the landing as the Warner steamed off took the
matter In irood part, and quietly sat down under the
shade of the trees to enjoy the perusal of their
papers, resolved not to be caught in that trap again.
Octraoeocs. About 10 o'clock last evening Po
llcemen Townsend and Cody, of the Third district,
found a man lying ou the pavement In Leaf street
in an insensible condition. The officers at once pro
cured a stretcher and conveyed the man to the
Pennsylvania Hospital. At the gate they were met
by a young physician, wno gave tnem to unaerstanu
that he had charge for the night, that the case was
merely one of drunkenness, and that it could not be
aamitted. Tne omcers pieaa tne circumstances,
and asserted, from their own knowledge, that the
sufferer was not Intoxicated; but to no effect. The
will of this young Esculaplus was law, and conse-
auentiv the omcers were obliged to carry tne man
to the Third district station-house, where Dr. Allen
was called In and at once pronounced It a severe
case of sunstroke, recommending that the
victim should be taken to the hospital at once.
Again the officers proceeded to the hospital, where
they met Dr. Longstreth, to whom they related the
circumstances, 'me Doctor immediately oraerea
the man to be conveyed to a ward, where he now

deserving of Immediate attention, and it seems to us

Novel Child Caae.
Court of Cornnvon Pleas Judge Allison
In the case of Sarah E. Booth vs. Mary A. Van
Allen, which was a motion for the revocation of a
decree of adoption, Judge Allison this morning de
livered an opinion granting the motion.
The child in question, which was Ullgttlmate, was
placed with Mrs. Van Allen, for nurture, by the
father,Mrs. Van Alien s brother, who hat agretd
with the mother to adopt It Into his family so soon
as he could make the necessary arrangements with
his wife. He resided In Iowa, and the mother In
Indiana. Without notice to either of these Mrs. Vam
Allen, living here, petitioned the court for a decree
permitting her to adopt the child, stating that It had
been abandoned in Chicago by the mother, who was
totally nnable to support it.
This being discovered by the parents, proceedings
were at once instituted to have the decree revoked
on the ground that It was obtained by fraud. The
matter wsb referred to a master, who reported In
favor of the petition. Exceptions were taken to the
report, upon which the case was argued at length by
Walter h. Mitchell, Esq., for the mother, and Jdw..
II. Well. Esq., for Airs Van Allen.
In his opinion Judge Allison said the Court was
fully convinced of the correctness of the master's
report, for Mrs. Van Allen had not only made repre
sentations to the Court which were not accurately
true, but had concealed facts well known to her,,
and highly proper to be stated to the Court
In support of such a petition as she
E resented. She had led the Court to
elleve that the child was a poor, neglected, suffer
ing infant, deserted by Its parents, and therefore
nobody else than Mra Van Allen was interested In it;
whereas, In truth, both parents were highly respect
able, in good clrcumstauces, able to rear the child
in tbe best possible manner, and having the tender
est airectlon for it.
Khe had not Intimated that the father of the child
was ber brother, which was a very Important fact
bearing onon the question of notice. She had
otherwise imposed upon the court, else the decree
or adoption never would have been granted.
Abundance of evidence was produced to show how
the rights of the parents had been disregarded by
her, aud she bad not been able to meet it.
The decree of adoption was reversed. .
