Henly-'on-thc-Thames, 11.30 a. m.—Yale
was defeated, but not disgraced, today in
the 'third) trial heait for the Grand'Chal-
lenge cup. Leander won by 1 3-4 lengths
in 7 minutes and 14 seconds. The record)
is 6 minutes and 51 seconds.
Previous to the beginning of the racing,
Bob Cook said that, with conditions as
they were, there was noit the slightest ad-
vantage in either the Bucks or the Berks
station, and that it was a perfectly fair
.Course. He expressed 'the belief that Le-
ander would win by a length to a length
and ia half.
The 'Weather was cloudy and oppressive
and there was scarcely a breath of air at
noon.
All morning trains 'arrived heavily laden
with rowing enthusiasts, but the crowd
was not as great as was expected. Yale’s
colors were everywhere, on the grand
stand, in the enclosure, on boat houses,
launches and small boats.
James R. Roosevelt, secretary of the
United States embassy, was present, but
Ambassador Bayard was unable to at-
tend on account of the arrival in England
of -the ancient and honorable artillery
company of Massachusetts.
From the earliest hour the course was
lined with crowds of people, and there
were many American boats full of gay
parties, carrying the stars and stripes and
'the Yale flags, while the grand stand was
packed with Yale'enthusiasts, who waved
“Old Eli’s” colors, and did everything
possible to- show their confidence in the
oarsmen from New Haven.
The first event was trial heat No. 1
for the diamond sculls, in which R. K.
Beaumont of the Burton rowing club
beat Frank Beddington of the Medway
rowing club easily in 9.07.
In the second heat for the same trophy
Vivian ‘Nickalls of the London rowing
club beat IRev. (Sidney Swann of Cam-
bridge university boat club, by a quarter
of a length. Both men were exhausted
at the finish. Time 8.53.
The third trial heat between Leander
and Yale was started at 1.33 1-4. When
the word was given Leander and Yale
got away prettily together. Contrary to
general expectation Yale was quite as
quick as Leander in starting.
At the end of the island Leander had „
lead of one man. Yale, however, stead-
ily overhauled 'Leander and, rowing even-
ly, had a lead of two men at the rectory.
At the farm Leander had pulled up until
Yale only had a lead of one man.
Then Leander spurted, overtook Yale
and had the lead -by one man at half the
distance, which was made in 3.27.
J. O. Rogers, Yale’s No. 4, seemed
rowed out at this point. He was very
pale and pulled listlessly. In spite of
this the Americans rowed stubbornly,
powerfully and evenly, sticking to it in
the gamest manner possible.
Opposite the Whitehouse Leander
drew clear, and when the Yale boat
passed Clubland George Langford, Yale’s
stroke, seemed played out. He was pull-
ing listlessly and Leander went ahead al-
most as they liked. As the racing craft
appeared in sight of the crowds near the
finsh, the applause, shouting and flag
waving began and gradually increased
until it assumed the proportions of a per-
fect hurricane of demonstration when
the boats crossed the finish line.
When the Yale boat was taken from
the water, Rogers and Brown had to be
assisted into the boat house, ■where they
were laid on 'the floor, and several of the
Leander’s attendants immediately rushed
to their assistance, and began chaffing
•their arms and doing everything possible
to revive the sufferers. It was at first
feared that Brown had broken a blood
vessel, and Rogers Jay gasping for breath

GOLD MEN UNDECIDED.
Chicago, Ill., July 7—The gold men are
uncertain as ito what course to pursue in
the convention, in case the proceedings
of the silver majority are what they des-
ignate as “high handed.” They are di-
vided between three courses, all of which
have been disicuissed. These are;
First, to issue a manifesto.
Second, to keep their seats and refuse
■to take any part in the convention pro-
ceedings, and,
Third, bolt.
The latter course does not at this time
seem probable in any event, but it has
been discussed. Probably no definite de-
cision will be reached until the Michigan
contest is decided. The gold people feel,
if this goes against them, the proceedings
will be 'entirely undemocratic a nd revolu-
tionary, and they are determined to show
their resentment in some signal manner.
BIAND’S WIFE7S RELIGION.
Chicago', July 7.—A. W. Thurman, one
of Ohio’s “Big Four,” is indignant at the
attempt to' make it appear that he made
an attack upon Mr. Bland because of the
latter’s religious convictions. He says
he was misrepresented in the interview
as printed.
Bland, in reply to inquiries effecting the
matter, telegraphed as follows, from his
home at Lebanon, Mo., last night:
“Religion is not the issue. I am a
Methodist, have always been, and always
will be. If I was half as good a Catholic
as my wife, I would not worry about get-
ting into' heaven. This is the sentiment I
expressed in a previous emergency when
her religion was criticised. 1 stand by it
now.”

A new vexation for the long- suffering
Maine school ma’am! Miss Maud Davis,
who is teaching in Elliotsville, says she
has a very nice .school house to teach in
and some very bright pupils, but the
black flies are so thick that she is obliged
to build a smudge in the stove and fill
the room full of smoke. When it gets
too thick they all adjourn to the open air
and start a new smudge. She says she
has been in the smoke so long that s'he
has taken on a finer color, like that of
smoked ham.
PLATFORM HINTS.
Chicago, Ill., July 7—The platform will
recommend to congress putting aside
all other questions until the finan-
cial system can be changed. Proceeding
on 'this theory there will be a declaration
against any change in the present tariff
until the financial question can be dis-
posed of by legislation. There will be a.
declara tion against the issuance of money
by banks, and also against the issuing

A CRUISIH AT THE DOOR.
Senator Harris Knocked Down
Jones- Hurt.
Chicago, Ill., July 7.—(Long before the
time set for calling the national conven-
tion of the Democratic -party to order,
thousands of people besieged the doors of
the Coliseum for admittance. Through
some hitch in the arrrangement of ser-
geant at arms the doors were not opened
until 11.30, and then was almost a riot.
The crush was terrible and there were
many reports of minor accidents as
a result. Senator Harris of Ten-
nessee was handled roughly and it was
said knocked down by the surging mob.
Senator Berry of Arkansas, who has but
one leg and walks -with a crutch, was
jammed against the wall and his crutch
wrenched from his hand.
“It is about time,” said Senator Jones
of Arkansas, “that we had a permanent
official as sergeant at arms, who could
prevent such outrages.”
One of the first o.f the leaders- to enter
was -Senator Jones of Arlkansas. He
stood at the staff of his state, greeting all
who approached him cordially and good
naturedly, seemingly cool and unruffled
as he surveyed the field and confronted
the first clash of battle which was
soon to begin.

CLARENCE H. GUERINGER, Proprietor.
Special to The Tribune.
Chicago, Ill., July 7.—-The Texas dele-
gation held another caucus this morning,
and Daniels .was indorsed fox' temporary
chairman.
The question of abrogating the two-
thirds rule was deferred.
Heber Stone was chosen as the Texas
committeeman to notify the vice presi-
dential nominee.
There has-been no general caucus of the
silver men thus far, and it is improbable.
The Texas sound money men are hang-
ing around their headquarters pursuing
a waiting policy. 'Some are hustling for
visitors’ seats in the convention. Hardy
says they will do nothing at present, but
will wait and see which way the cat
jumps. Paddock says he thinks there
will be something turn up about Thurs-
day. 'Clark thinks it will be tomorrow.
Texas gold men believe there will be
split and two conventions.
Interest centering in the temporary
chairmanship this morning almost over-
shadows the presidential -contest. If Hill
pledges 'himself to rule to suit the silver
men he will be elected, but no such pledge
goes.
There -is a lot of hurrah for Bland and
Boies, -but little genuine enthusiasm,
while Teller stock has gone up. The im-
pression is growing that there will be a
bitter contest, with the result of a dark
horse getting -the plum.
Little is said about vice president.
Hogg’s- friends deny that his name will
-be presented, but it may be if the presi-
dential candidate is a northern man.
while the attendants quickly brought wa-
ter and -sponges, 'with which they bathed
'theii1 faices -and chests. Brown was scar'ce-
ly able to- speak.
I he other miembens of the crew were
in good shape,' although -C-apt. Treadway
was bathed in perspiration, a-s he sat on
the edge of the boat and xjepea'ted, “Nev-
er mind, we did the best we could.”
The crew bore their -defeat phuekily and.
manfully, and many Leander men who
came to the Yale bo'at house warmly con-
gratulated the Affic-ricans on the game
fight they had made.
As soon as Brown and' Rodgers suf-
ficient-ly revived, they were placed in a
carriage and driven to -the Yale headquar-
ters, -the Marshmill-house.
'Dr. McDowell,, of the Delaware boat
club -of Chicago-, won the fourth heat for
the dialuond sculls-, defeating F. A.
Guinoss.
In the third hea t of the diamoncrsculls,
Hon. Rupert Guiness-, holder of the
trophy, of the Leander club, beat H. T.
Blackstaff of the Vesta rowing club, by
two lengths. Time, 9.03.

It is the most generous kind of a
document, but means just what it
says. It is not prepared to make
good the mistakes of people who
will persist in using tools of every
description on our wheels, nor of
those who use these anti-leak mix-
tures on the tires. .There is no law
to prevent people from using these
mixtures, and we are glad to note
that they are advertised to be used
on Single Tube Tires, which are
forever leaking, as the Morgan &

them.

'ENTRY OF NOTABLES.
■Chicago, Ill., July 7.—Among the Popu-
list leaders who were present was Jerry
Simpson.
Enthusiastic Boies men ca rried a Boies
banner through the aisles in the dele-
gate’s pit, but there was not axi answer
to this suggestion for a demonstration in
favor of the Iowa candidate.
■Shortly after 12 o’clock Whitney and
Hill walked up the center aisle, followed
by most of the New York delegation, but
the great Empire state delegation, which
is usually received with cheers in Demo-
cratic onventions, took theii' places in si-
lence.
Gov. Russell and the Massachusetts
delegation followed, and like the Now
York contingent did not raise any cry.
O-wmgtothe proportions of the ball prob-
ably the leaders were not recognizc-ii.
iMiembers of the national committee
and distinguished guests took eposession
of. the platform early. The most con-
spicuous of the latter was Senatoi’ Stew-
art of Nevada.
ClLEVEL1 AiNID ',8 PICTU R E.
Chicago, Ill., July 7.—The feature of
decoration within the convention hall was
that of the Democratic presidents, due to
some question as to the exact proprieties
of using “living pictures,” it being urged
by some that statues and pictures of liv-
ing persons should not be put ixx a public-
place. A-s Cleveland is the only living
Democratic president, the question ap-
plied more particularly to the -heroic repre-
■ sentation -of him. It was finally decided
to put up the pictures of the living-and
dead, but the work -weis not completed
Uixtil a few hours before the convention
opened.
THE CONVENTION.
Chicago, HI., July 7.—The gavel
dropped at 12.50 in a hall that had rows
of empty seats at the edges furthest
from the platform.
Chairman Harrity as he stepped for-
ward to the desk, provoked a round of
applause from the eastern delegate^, re-
inforced by many southern and western
men.
When Harrity commanded the conven-
tion to be in order his voice was car-
ried over the tumult to the furthest
corner, attesting the acoustic qualities of
the hall with most satisfactory results.
‘(Gentlemen of the convention will rise
for prayer,” the chairman said, and there
was a clatter of chairs as the body ixx the
center hall came up to its feet with con-
siderable confusion.
The chaplain, Rev. Edward M. Stires,
stepped forward and prayed as follows:
While we plead for onrselve-s we are’
mindful of the sorrows of others. May
the day soon come when xxo power shall
be permitted to- inflict upon a brave peo-
ple indefensible slaughter and unspeak-
able shame; when no- -cloud of despotism
■shall overhang those who- sigh for liberty.
May we feel the -deepest sympathv for
■the distressed in the- great* brorherhood
of mian'kind, and yet he able to maintain
an honorable peace with all.
Upon tl'e gx-eat convention new as-
sembled in thy presence send thy gracious
blessing. yMay its members be inspired-
with the. most exalted patriotism, seek-
ing no private or sectional advantage, but
only the national good; so that our united
and prosperous land may 'continue to be,
in all that is truest and best, an inspira-
tion to the nations of the- earth. And to
thee, our God, -shall w-e ascribe all the
honor and glory, forever and ever, amen.
Almighty God, the hearts of thy peojile
are lifted, in gratitude -to- thee fox* the
manifold blessings thou hast vouchs-a-f-ed
to oux* 'country from the dawn of its inde-
pendence unto this day.- We thank thee
for the wisdom and courage which en-
abled our fathers to- build better -than
•they knew; for deliverance from all dan-
gers from within and'without -our borders;
and for our unparalleled progress ixx times
of prosperity and peace. O God of our
fathers, -continue to guide -and sustain
thy children. In our doubts and fears
-and distress we cry unto' thee- for help.
Grant u-s wisdom ai-.d knowledge to do it
with all the- perplexing qu-estions of the
hour; help us to consider the vital ques-
tions which must, be answered with thor-
oughness, patience and t-o-leran'ce. Give
us strength and courage to do what an
■enlightened conscience- sh ill declare -to be
oux- duty. Inspire, us with a patriotism
above expediency. Remind us that lion-
esty is not only the best, but the only poli-
cy worthy of the consideration of a great
people. May the hearts of all be filled
with profound x-espect -and sympathy for
oux* -toiling multitudes oppressed With
burdens too heavy for them - to bear,
heavier -than we should allow them to
bear. Teach us how to give them relief
without doing violence to- the rights of
any.
