At 6 o'clock Friday as the sun was
sinking In the west a distinguished
company silently watched as tne body
of Grover Cleveland was lowered In
to the grave at Frlncetjn, N. J.
Then the simple burial service of the
Presbyterian church was read and be
fore the last of the carriages In the
corteges had driven up to the path
leading to the burial place the bene
diction had been pronounced and those
who had gathered about the grave be
gan to leave the cemetery.
Many of the personal friends of the
dead statesman lingered about the
spot which was to mark his last rest
ing place and each In turn was per
mitted to cast a shovelful of earth Into
the grave.
Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs.
Cleveland the services both nt the
house and at the cemetery were of the
simplest character. An Invocation,
scriptual reading, a brief prayer and
the reading of William Wordsworth's
poem "Character of the Happy War
rior" constituted the services at the
house. The reading of the burial ser
vice at the grave was brief and Im
pressive. Although the funeral was of a
strictly. private nature those In attend
ance numbered many distinguished
citizens, including President Roose
velt, Governor Fort of New Jersey,
Governor Hughes of New York, Gov
ernor Hoke Smith of Georgia, former
member of President Cleveland's cabi
net; officials of the Equitable Life As
surance society, members of the
Princeton faculty, friends and neigh
bors. The pnll bearers, six on either side
of the hearse, marched with the pro
cession as it wended Its way slowly
down Bayard lane to Nassau street
and on along the main thoroughfare
of the town. Business had suspend
ed during the afternoon and curtains
were drawn In many of the houses. The
silent crowd stood with bared heads
as the procession passed along Into
Vandeventer avenue and the bell In
the tower of Old Nassau hall tolled
mournfully.
The route led over WIggans street
to the cemetery, which was reached a
few minutes before 6 o'clock. The
members of the family alighted from
their carriages and with the four cler
gymen in the lead walked slowly down
the graveled path leading to the open
grave and the rose strewn grave of
Ruth, both almost hidden In the pro
fusion of green boughs and flowers.
Mrs. Cleveland stood with Esther
and Richard and Dr. Bryant as the
coffin was slowly lowered Into the
grave. Rev. William R. Richards of
the Brick Presbyterian church of
New York had started to read the
conimltnl service even before Presi
dent Roosevelt and others had reach
ed the scene. The president stood
Just back of Mrs. Cleveland as the Im
pressive words were spoken. The ser
vices lasted less than five minutes.
As early. as 2 o'clock distinguished
vlsltnr began to arrive. Among the
.first were Secretary Cortelyou and
ex-United fcates Senator James Smith.
General James G. Wilson and Hilary
Herbert followed Boon after. The
guests were received on the veranda
of the house by Professor John O. Wil
son and Cleveland F. Bacon, nephew
of Mr Cleveland.
Governor Hughes was the first state
executive to arrive. As he stepped
from his carriage all the other assem
bled officials rose to greet him. The
public men greeted each other on the
verandah and presently the red up
holstered benches which bordered the
verandah were filled and the veran
dah became crowded. The guests
were received into the house at 4
o'clock, Jesse Lynch Williams, Henry
J. Van Dyke and Wlllard Bradford
nsherlng the visitors to seats In vari
ous part 8 of the house. In the recep
tion room with the casket were Mrs.
Cleveland and children, relatives of
the family. President Roosevelt and
the officiating clergymen. As each
clergyman delivered his part In the
service, he stood at the door of the
reception room bo that he could be
heard by all.
Harvard Won University Race.
With, a deafening din of steam
whistles and horns and the fren
zied shouts of collegians at New Lon
don, Conn., the Harvard 'varsity eight
shot their boat over the finish line,
winning from the crippled and dis
tanced Yale crew that classic of Amer
ican college aquatics, the Harvard
Yale university boat race. But In
stead of a boat race Harvard finished
the lr t mile and a half of the race
alone, while far behind Yale limped
along with but seven men at the oars,
with Griswold, the stroke the man
who had been relied upon to set the
winning nace bent forward, limp and
collapsed from the terrlfli Btrain of the
opening two miles.
Uii to this unexpected climax It had
been a stirring struggle, worthy of the
best traditions of the old antagonists
and with a fitting setting of a mag
nlflcent marina spectacle such as has
seldom been equalled along a regatta
course for brilliancy and Imposing
magnitude. '
CLEVELAND
For the first time, too, the president
of the United States was taking keen
and active interest as a champion of
the Crimson colors, and although
compelled by circumstances to absent
himself the spirit of his enthusiasm
was voiced by the Roosevelt family,
who witnessed the contest from the
deck of the presidential yacht.
Old Ell was more fortunate In hav
ing her distinguished champion, Sec
retary Taft, present In reality, the cen
tral figure of a group of 'collegians
aboard one of the observation trains,
who shouted encouragement to the
Yale crew as they sped over the early
reaches of the course, and then lapsed
Into glum dismay as Griswold was
seen to fall over helpless In the Yale
boat
Syracuse Won on the Hudson.
Everything great In the history of
boat racing on the Hudson was swept
6r.sk to be merely mediocre by the
wonderfu race of tho 'varsity eights
Saturday afternoon.
Syracuse won, leading Columbia by
less than one-third of a length, and
Cornell by a bare length.
Syracuse's time was 19:34 15. 1 he
record, made by Cornell on July 2,
1901, Is 18:55 1-5.
The contest was one of the fiercest
and most Interesting In the deven-
year history of collegiate racing on
the Hudson. For three good miles of
the four never a slice of water Bhow-
ed between the first crew and the
fifth of the 'varsity shells.
Syracuse also won for the pecond
successive time the race for the uni
versity four-oared Bhells for the Ken
nedy challenge trophy, leading the
Pennsylvania crew by nearly two
lengths and covering the two miles In
10:52 4-5. Columbia was third, three
lengths behind Pennsylvania, which
had fouled the Columbia crew In the
last half mile of the contest. The
judges disqualified Pennsylvania and
awarded Columbia place honors.
Cornell watermanship won for the
Ithaca crew the freshman eight-oared
race, after a two-mile contest. In which
Wisconsin, Columbia and Pennsyl
vania held the lead at different per
iods of the race. After the mile and
three-quarters, the contest was never
In doubt, Cornell's smooth and power
ful stroke placing her full four
lengths In the lead when the finish
line was crossed.
Successful Flight of Airship.
Several hundr?d spectators Thurs
day witnessed the most successful
flight yet made on the testing grounds
of the Aerial Experiment association
at Hammondsport, N. Y. The suc
cessful performer was G. N. Curtlss
In his Junebug aerodrome No. 3. Un
der his guidance the Junebug flew
1,140 yards in sixty seconds. All that
stopped the flight was the limited area
of the practice ground, bounded by
trees and a fence which would have
Interfered with the progress of tlo
machine, traveling, as it was, nt a
height of from three to twenty-flue
feet above the ground.
The performance of the Junebug
and her designer Is considered the
most remarkable of Its kind on record.
It was only the seventh flight of the
machine and the eighth attempt of the
aviator. The controls worked per
fectly In every respect, the machine
having to travel on the arc of a cir
cle In order to make the distance It
did In a field the size and shape of the
association's grounds.
Restrained From Increasing Rates.
A temporary injunction was grant
ed at Rochester, N. Y., by Judge G.
A. Benton restraining the supreme
court of the Independent Order of For
esters from Increasing Its Insurance
rates pending the action brought on
that point by Henry J. Simmeiink of
that city. The matter of increasing
the rates of insurance in this fraternal
order was taken up at a convention In
Canada this year. Under the present
order It will be Impossible for the or
der to put the Increase Into effect.
Vermont Democrats Not Instructed.
The Democratic state convention
at Burlington, Vt., adjourned after

A resolution instructing the delegates
to vote for William J. Bryan for nom
ination for president, was laid on the
table by a vote of 193 to 37 after a
lively debate lasting about an hour.
Mobilization of British Fleets.
The mobilization this week of the

PROHIBITION
PLANKS
Will Involve Democratic Con
vention In Discussion.
Boom of Lieutenant Governor Chanler
For Vice President Seems to Have
Vanished Five Candidates From
New York Seating Capacity ol
Auditorium Increased to 12,500.
Denver, Colo., June 30. The fight
over the anti-injunction plank in the
Democratic platform Is not the only
Btruggle in which the committee on
resolutions, and possibly the conven
tion Itself, may be Involved. It has
developed that the prohibition ques
tion Is to be brought to the front and
that a desperate effort will be made to
have a plank declaring In Its favor
placed In the platform.
The prohibition movement will be
headed by General James B. Weaver
of Iowa, who demanded of the recent
Democratic convention In that Btate
that It declare in favor of prohibition.
General Weaver and his followers
were not successful In their efforts In
their own state, but not daunted by
their failure, have made arrangements
to bring the matter up before the Dem
ocratic national convention.
They claim, moreover, to have
strong backing from a number of dele
gations from the Southern states
which have recently passed prohibi
tion laws.
The Anti-Injunction Plank.
The anti-Injunction plank continues
to provoke discussion among party
leaders who have already arrived for
the convention. Such members of
the national committee who have dis
cussed the matter are a unit In say
ing that the wording of the anti-injunction
plank shall leave no possible
doubt In the mind of any reader as to
where tho party stands on this ques
tion. It is now generally believed that
the anti-Injunction resolution will not
provide for trials by jury In cases of
contempt of court, or favor In any way
measures which might be construed
as Interfering with the prerogatives of
the federal courts.
The friends of Mr. Bryan Bay that
those of his critics who are express-
lng themselves In fear ot a radical
anti-Injunction plank are fighting the
air. The plank has not yet been writ
ten but Is under consideration. It Is said
to be the desire of Mr. Bryan to con
suit as many of the prominent mem
bers of the party as possible before
any decisive action In formulating
this resolution Is taken.
The vice presidential question re-
mains, to nil appearances, just where
It was, although the boom of Lleuten-
ant Governor Chanler of New York
seems to have vanished and his name
Is not mentioned as prominently as it
was two days ago. This Is largely
due to the announcement made by
Norman E. Mack, national committee'
man of New York, that he has no au
thority to speak for Mr. Chanler and
that his Interest In the matter was
dictated by friendship and by a sincere
belief that the New York man is well
qualified to take second place on the
ticket.
Only one new name w.is mentioned
as a vice presidential possibility. This
was Governor George E. Chamberlain
of Oregon. He Is in much favor with
some of the party leaders and It Is be
lieved he will be personally acceptable
to Mr. Bryan, If the latter Is nom
inated. The sponsors of the vice presiden
tial booms located outside of New
York state, claim to be generally en
couraged by the fact that already Ave
men have been mentioned as aspir
ants to the vice presidential nomina
tion. They believe, with the New
York delegation divided among that
number of candidates, an outsider has
a far better chance of securing the
prize than would be the case If the
delegation from tho Empire State
were standing solidly for a single man.
Chairman Taggart of the national
committee announced the chaplains
for the last three days of the conven
tion, and complete list is now as fol
lows: Tuesday, July 7, Right Rev. James
J. Kean of Wyoming; Wednesday,
Rev. C. F. Beisner of Grace M. E.
church, Denver; Thursday, Rabbi
Manuel March of Seattle, Wash.; Fri
day. Rev. P. T. Ramsey of St. Paul's
M. E. church. South Denver.
Secretary Urey Woodson of the na
tional committee did not announce the
names of the assistant secretaries,
reading clerks and tally clerks of the
convention, a press of routine work
avlng rendered him unable to fill out
the list from the large number of ap
plications. The number is limited to
fifteen.
Notices of 45 Contests For Seats.
Notice of contests have been filed
with the national committee Involving
45 Beats, but of this number tho con
tests actually filed relate to 13 seats.
Six of these are from the District of
Columbia, and seven from the First,
Second, Fourth, Firth and Sixth Penn
sylvania congressional districts. The
First and Second districts, however,
have only one seat each in dispute.
Notices of contests yet to be filed
came from Chicago and Brooklyn. In
the Chicago cases the First to the
Tenth congressional districts Inclus
ive are Involved, the contesting dele
gations being led by Robert E. Burke
of Chicago. Contesting delegations
from Brooklyn will come from the Sec
ond to the Seventh New York congres
sional districts, Inclusive, and relate
to the McCarren-Muruhv fight. Two
elegatlons at large were elected In
Idaho, but no notice of contest against
the seating of the delegation headed
by former Senator Dubois has been re
ceived.
The committee on convention ar
rangements paid a visit to the Audi
torium which was pregnant In results
as far as Increasing the seating ca
pacity of the hall is concerned, but
brought woe to Architect Wilson.
That gentleman, with a keen profes
sional eye to the beauty and finished
character of his work, had arranged
the seating capacity in such a way
as to produce the most pleasing effect
on the eye of the spectator. In so
doing, however, he had left a consider
able amount of vacant floor space,
much of which was In extra width giv
en to the aisles.
When the members of the commit
tee visited the hall their eyes at once
fastened upon this extent of empty
floor, and Roger S. Sullivan of Illinois
at once asked if more chairs could not
be placed. "It would Injure the
Bcenlc effect," replied Mr. Architect
Wilson.
Mr. Sullivan in a single energetic
sentence gave vent to the opinion that
what the committee desired was seats,
seats, and then more seats, and that
scenic effect could take Its chances or
be taken Itself to any place It chose
to go.
The other members of the commit
tee, whose lives are made a burden for
the unceasing demand for tickets, cor
dially supported the criticisms and
contentions of Mr. Sullivan with the
result that the seating capacity of the
hall was at once Increased from the
original number of 11,538 to more than
12,500.
The members of the committee are
now poring over blueprints In an
effort to see if they cannot still further
Increase the possible number of ad
missions. The alterations suggested
also resulted In allowing seventy-five
additional seats for members of the
press.
The local committee on convention
arrangements headed by Mayor E. W.
Speer and C. W. Franklin and C. M.
Day, members of the Denver conven
tion league, held a conference with the
national committee relative to the
number of seats to be allowed to the
people of Denver. They were given
the assurance that the city would be
amply provided for.
The national committee, which for
several days has been In cramped
quarters on one of the upper floors of
the Brown Palace hotel, Monday mov
ed Into the more commodious qunrters
on the parlor floor, which it will oc
cupy until after the convention has ad
journed. SAVES FIVE FROM LAKE.

Loraine. O., June 30. Alone In a
rowboat Le Roy Le Barron, 12 years
of age, rescued three men and two wo
men whose lives were in danger by

Money Spent to Oppose Racing Bills.
Albany, June 30. Two of the sev
eral racing associations In this state,
the Coney Island Jockey club and the
Saratoga association, filed statements
with the secretary of Btate showing
the money they expended in opposing
before the legislature the Agnew-Hart
anti-racetrack gambling bills, the total
aggregating over $1.1.000. The state
ments are certified to by Secretary C.
Fellowes for the Coney Island Jockey
club, and President F. R. Hitchcoc'
for the Saratoga association. The
statements declare thnt the expendit
ures were for "retainers of counsel,
fees and disbursements." According
to the statement former Governor

mittees In opposition to the bills, re
ceived over $2,400, and Davles, Stone

LONG ISLAND WOODS AFIRE.
Many Game Birds and Rabbits De
stroyed In Four Day Blaze Near
Manorville.
Eastport, L. I., June SO. Great loss,
from a sportsman's point of view, has
been occasioned in the last few days
by a woods fire which Is raging to the
northwest of .Manorville. As yet the
fire has not reached any hamlet or
even outljing farms, but It has burned
over several square miles of wood-
laud, and hundreds of quail, rabbits
and partridges have perished. Many
of the young especially could not fly
from the flames and perished.
Several efforts to check the fire
have been made, but because the dan
ger is not imminent the farmers are
not turning out. The fire has burned
since Thursday. Its advance has been
somewhat slow owing to the absence
of wind. The woods are very dry and
if there isn't some rain soon the
flames will endanger farms and build
ings. ON FULL TIME ON JULY 1.

begin in earnest on July 1, will require
the tlmo of several thousand men for
weeks. Already the Pennsylvania Is
