that there hu been a remarkable alienee In regard to

of such of tho toasts and pmoeedlnts a-t wer fur

omitted or mtstatd; among which must havo bn the
statement made hjr Col. Hamilton. I regret as sin
cerely as "F. IV can do. that the omlastrn was made;
and. as I have no wish lo appropriate to myself the
property of another, I will take this oreaslon to re-
Efat, what I have ovrr and over avaln stated both In

alone, to Mr. Oeorge Steers. Yours respectfully.

The Duty of Jadare rjcrort Wboa Dtvoreo
flult Come Tar Trial.
To thi Kpitor ok The Srs Sir .-The news
papers recorded tho other day tho result of a
reconciliation effected In court by tho Judge be
fore whom n young couplo had gone In order to
bo relieved from tho misery brought on by their
marital relations. These to tho woman had
caffscd acute physical as well as mental Buffer
ing, for it m as scarcely denied that the man had
beaten her cruelly. Hut when the caso camo up
for trial tho Judgo tried his hand as peacemaker,
and a reconciliation was patched up between tho
two. Last week tho husband was arrested in
Chicago for having beaten his wife so brutally
that her life was In danger. It appeared, more
over, that conduct of the kind which had led
her to try to secure a release from him had be
gun immediately after tho Judge, whose busi
ness it was to carry out tho law, had succeeded
in "reconciling" them.
It Is such an cxamplo of judicial Interference
ns this that makes everybody admire the spirit of
tho woman who only a few weeks ago refused to
allow herself lo be bulldozed Into agreeing to
return to her husband and live with him after
his cruelty had driven her into court to seek pro
tection. If the Judge who interested himself
actively in trying to Induco her to go back to
tliis man bad succeeded In his purpose, ho
would doubtless havo considered this solution
of the case a wholly admirable one. Doubtless
n eluillar cases tho Judges all take the same
view of a result which drives tho woman back
to tho man for whom she cares so little that sho
has Invoked Ihe luw to get completely out of
his power.
A man and woman do not go Into a divorce
court without having come to a fair under
standing of the troubles between them. "Ituth
Ing into tho divorce court" is a mere phrase in
Now York which our legal condition deprive of
any real signlhVunce. If a woman Is treated by
a man with such habitual cruelty or brutality
that she tries to get a divorce, the preliminaries
to the lln.il step aro usually very thoroughly
thought out. Is It the duty of a Judgo under
the circumstances to attempt to Influence a
woman against the clfort he has undertaken 1
Is It fusible that he ehonld Ijo able to know
everything that has led her to tho step that
tlnally brought her Into count Is not the cus
tomnry three-cornered conversation which
takes place In the Judge's private room between
tho Judge, the husband, and the wife com
pletely antagonistic to tho iutcrc-nts of the wo
man! It is till) who will ulwnys yield first.
Tho woman's naturo makes that almost a cer
tain event. Ilotli tho Influence ot the Judgo and
her feelings for licr husband make her tho weak
est ot tho three. Inileud, It would Uko u wo
man of unuMial strength of rhuracter to resist
such an attack on her resolution.
Yet theso philanthropic Solons complacently
announce that they have brought about n "re
conciliation" between the litigants, and tho
reparation Is abandoned. Hut only for awhile.
Tho wife- goes home to be clubbed over tho head
again, thanks tn tho Judge's gracious interces
sion on he,- behalf, bliu has l"nrued enough
not to be for a hecond time cajoled into n recon
ciliation whidi plunges her into misery
again, even if gives tho learned Judge the pleas
ure of tmuoiincing that hu has succeeded in
pcrsuiidlng the husband nud wlfu to return to
each other.
Is there liny responsibility on a Judgo beyond
deciding nn the legal phnscs of tho case and
giving !ie woman her dltorco if tho ot Ide-nco
shows rh( deserves It or refusing to grunt It If
tl.o grounds are not shown to exist! C'cr
talnl there is no fair opiortunlty for the wom
an on whom ho decides l exercise Ids iiowers
as a I caceiu.i'srr to got the justice which she
has been compelled to si-en in lourt. If there
were more women as bravo ns that ono who
would not submit to tho Judge's nttompta to
bulldoze her Into returning to her husband
tho harm of this practice might bo diminished.
lint unliit-icilv tho vli tlius of these Judges aro
usually weaker women. Jl'Hfim.

A Wew lorU lleglinent Willi n Itecard to tin
I'roud orsiulned In the Usr.
To the Kditoh ok The Hun Sir: In nn ar
ticle In Till. Hu.v of Juno 'S7 concerning tho
first Minnesota Keglmcnt it was state 1 that
fifteen regiments lost 50 por cent, or more of
their men on the Held of Gettysburg. From the
list Is omitted tho Slxty-Urst Now York, which
went into tho light with ninety-three men and
camo out with thirty-throe, leaving on tho tlcld
sixty killed and wounded. Theso figures aro
from memory, hut aro approximately correct.
Now, I havo no desire to take from the First
Minnesota ono thing which honestly bolongs to
It. It was a great regiment. Gen. Walker,
In his "History of tho Sccoud Corps," page IS,
places it alongside of the Fifth New Hampshire,
tho Seventh Michigan, the Twentieth Massa
chusetts, the Fifty-third Pennsylvania, and tho
Sixty-first New York In naming the crack regi
ments of this renowned corps. It seems to mo,
net ertheless, that If the Colonel quoted in the
article Is a New Yorker und wants to exchange
his discharge for a private soldier's in a great
regiment, ho neeil not go nut of his own State.
It is said that Secretary Stanton, speaking of
tho Sixty-first New York, remarked that every
man in It should bo made a llrlgadirr-Oeneral.
It has somewhat surprised me tliat New York
ers know so little of tills, probably, the greatest
regiment that left her borders. I will briefly
give an account of four episodes In tbo regi
ment's carocr: , ,
Tho llrst occurred at Charles City cross roads,
June 311, 16112. The Sixty-first was sent by Ocn.
Sumner to assist Kearny in resisting the road
riisUof Ixmgstreet In his attomrt to brnak Mc
Clellau's array Into pieces. It came into action
after dark, and the llrst notice, the men had of
an enemy In their front nas from the Colonel of
the Sixth Ororla. who sang out; "What rogl-rot-nt
Is that I" Pome ot our boys replied, " Sixty
llrst New York, and were told to surrender or
MMMaaMaMtaaaaaMMiaaaMalUaaMaaMaMMal
the would bo "blown to hta. Oet Barlow
eava tbf ootnmand. "Ready, also. flrtT and
both regiments fired at his command. The close
ranee made the destruction of life awful, and
both regiments wero about annihilated. One
company of the Sixty-first (III was on picket
and did not get Into the fight, the darkness pre
venting our finding the regiment. Hr order of
Gen. Caldwell wo Joined tho right ot the Fifth
Now Hampshire I was with this company, and
distinctly remember hearing some one say,
"This way Slxty-flrstl" and Col. Harlow, carry
ing the regimental flag, with one Lieutenant
and about thirty men camo back to the reserve
line. Kvory other officer, savo the Captain who
had boon sent to bring In Company It and one
Captain who was lost ln the woods, was left on
that fatal Hold killed or wounded.
Again, at Antietam. the SIxty-flrar, nnder tho
leadership of tho Incomparable Harlow, nnd
assisted by the Sixty-fourth Now York, cap tu rod
two battlo flags and moro prisoners than thov
had man in tholr ranks, completely destroying a
brigade of Alabama troops.
Again, at Hnottsylvanla, the First Brigade, of
which the Sixty-first was a part, lexl the charge
which resulted in the capture of tho rebol Gen
erals. Johnston and Stuart; twenty pieces of
artillery, and a loss to Lee of nlno or ten thou
sand men.
At Ream's Station, whon tho 8ocond Corps suf
fered Its first dofoat, tho Sixty-first, under the
leadership of LleuU-Col. It. A. llrown and Major
T. W. Grolg. charged back lo tho works, which
had been nbandonod, nnd recaptured some of
tho guns which had been lost, taking by that
movement soino of tho sting out of tho dofoat.
Francis O. Harlow and Nolson A. Miles gradu
ated from the 8lxty-flrst. nnd tho 8ixfy-nrst
holped them fight tho last Infantry battle ot tho
Army of tho Potomac: and when the future his
torian writes the history of the sons ot New
York who fought for tho Union, In mv judgment
tho namo of Major-Gen. Francis C. Barlow will
bo plaoed by 'him in the topmost niche ot tho
templo of tamo. 1. N.

currod over forty years ago, when I becamo ono
of tho pallbearers at tho funoral of nn old Revo

who died in a dwolllng that then stood on tho
site of tho Now York entrance of tho bridge.
Ho wrote a book entitled "Tho Yell Removod,
or Put. lleforo tho Bar." In It ho claimed that
he was not the hero that somo historians havo
depleted. It adduced much Important testimony
from very prominent offlcors showing tho cow
ardly behavior nnd careless Indifference ot tho
General at tho battlo of Hunker Hill. According
to the statement of Gen. Dearborn, who was a
participant In tho fight, ho kept aloof from it, not
withstanding ho was repeatedly urgod by Gon,
Prcscott, to bring up his troops to tho front.
His plea was that he could not A.drlvo the devils
up." To which Prescott replied that ho might
then try to bring them Into action. Tho testi
mony was voluminous, and very damning to
Putnam's character and career as a soldier.
Washington could not havo been familiar with
it when he assigned him to the command ot this
city upon taking possession ot it in tho spring
of TO. and oven placing him at tho head of the
troops at the battle of Long Island, when, unfor
tunately, that skilful otllcor. Gen. Greene, who
was In chief command, was taken sick at that crit
ical juncture. Putnam blundered by leaving the

His last oxplolt. I believe, was Ins retreat, or
"dash," his eulogists call It, down the break
neck Btcns at Horso Neck (uow Greenwich,
Conn.), where he escaped the pistol ot a British
officer, which hung tiro owing to Its priming
being damp. This fact I loarnod a few
years slnco from a communication In a Green
wich newspaper, written by a Canadian, whoso
grandfather wns said British officer.
I noticed In TnE SfN ot Sunday last that tho
people of Greenwich still bellovo In "Old Put."
As ft Is the fnd nowadays for villages and towns
to be historical, wo can pardon our Connecticut

Paper Doals vs. Cedar Doats.
To ma Editor or Tint Srpi Sir: Cornell won ln a
paper boat against two cedar boats.
Cornell won last year la a paper boat sad estab
lished the record.
Cornell hu won upward of forty victories to paper
boats.
Cornell began rowing In 1R73, winning with two
paper boats In a field of seventeen slxoared shells, all
tbo others being cedar.
Yalo ha rowed a paper boat In all of her victories
over Harvard.
Yale's record at New London was won and made ln
a par boat.
Harvard has rowed a paper boat In each of ber vlo
toriea over Yale (with ono exoeptlon. easily explain
able). Every Intercollegiate rare between Yalo and Har
vard for the pa't twenty years, with ono exception,
has tieen won In paprr boat.
Columbia has never won an elght-oared race except
when rowing pajier lioats.
All of Columt Si's victories ln fours since '70 have
been won In papr bovts.
Every eight oared race of tbo national regattas has
been won ln tiapQr 1 oitt.
Eiery fouroarel rscj won at the national regattas
for tho past twrnty yiars has leeu won ln paper
boats
Ev. ry (ntrroatl'ma! r-oe won by American orewa
to tho past twertr ears has been won by paper
boats. In 'ludtog th- lli-aerwck slctory In '70 and
Columbia's victory at Henley.
Thi Wlnn'pi-i; crw. with a crdar boat, wero beaten
by u pntT tMiat In t5 at the national regalia
The vlnnl crow Ibi-u returned to tho same re
gatta In 'DO. and tilth the same crew on thft samo
wator anil acalnst th- snmo lomjietltors won In a
papr I oat Ijoth the national aed International re
gattas. The Winnipeg crew are now at Ilsaley with two
paper tioats and will Im resrd from.,
Cornell has. ililrlm; all of Hit so years, teated all
kinds and makes of tioats, and still rows paper. In
on they liniairted the beet make of English Niats, hut
found the rtfrgltor so toor that tho paper boat was
much the fatter. They hate tested the aluminum tioat,
but found that the freshman crew rowing the najier
boat co'ilil easily lat the 'tarslly In the aluminum.
This year they rebuilt the Ftigllsh boat as well as
the aluminum liiat. giving to eanh all the advantages
of rourtnet's superb rlcgfiirf. bet yet thej wore es:ly
liea'crc I" the patier lioat, hut this was not enough,
anil so a n-w cedar liont was lalllt by ore of the liest
biilhlers 'n the country, aul a list inude with this,
onl) to prove the pa-r lioat still the fastest, and ao
Cornell brought four paiier loats to poughkeejiale,
leaving all tho others at home,
Th-t'nlten-lty of Pennsylvania, too. got the ferer
for cedar boats, notwithstanding all of tholr vlo
torles lerelofore havo lieen In pate-r, and this year
with their cedar toat lost to AtinaiMills In paper
boats. Hlneo they havo been on Ihe Hudson they,
too, hare teen testtLg. with thn result that the new
cedar lioat has Ueu illscirded for old paper boats, la
which they will row their races
It Is rejiorted thut Ya! notwithstanding all her
vletorlos won In piij r h uis, baa niado a tost this
year of the Fiullsb-rlpeil j ap- r boat, and as a result
of the exp nnii-nt she l as found the boat, so rigged,
to 1m three lenxths s owur to the nille than the eidar
lioat. whleh. If so. 1 as proven a costly experiment,
and It's t( obad Yale so handleapied her olS friend
Oneof the niont expirt of Hart ard's old oarjmon,
Col W. A. Itaneroft, thus writes aftor tho race:
"It Is Interesting to note thst the winning crow to
day rowed In a paper I oat, while the defeated crewa
rowed in i-i dar boat. Nothing tt as better settled to
the satlsfai'tlon of Yale and Harvard men twenty
years ago. and for a number of years after that, than
the superiority of a paocr eight."
May we not, therefore, sum tho matter up by
asking!
If Yale and lbirvard had tho most power, pulled a
more rapid stroke, and v ero so much superior to Cor
nell as to l- la a " different class," may not the paper
toat consistently claim some credit In the vletoay?

Jewish Children.
To tjii r.nrroa orTiir Fun sir: Inyourto-dsy's
Issue I find, under the heading, "Traits of Young
Jews," soma extracts from Ihe report cf tho Rev. Dr.
A. P Hchauirtor to tho missionary society of which
bo Is Vice-President. How correct tho doctor's esti
mate of tho traits and character of tho Jewish ohll
dren of tho east side may bo la perhaps a matter of
opinion, but what particularly attracted my attention
was tho last paragraph quoted by you In wbleb tbo
question ta ralaol as to tho possibility of teaching
Jews and GontlUa In tho same buuday school and ds
ilded In th negative. The reasons given aro twot
Klrst. "Jewish children ,oo restless to sit still long
enough for tbo usual session, anl second, that they
are teased and auuoyed liccause of their nationality
by the so called Christian children."
The first reason Is hardly worth discussing. Chil
dren that can attend puhllo schools and sit out tha
sessions there attentively ran probably endurs the
shorter hours of tho Sunday school. Tha aooond rea
son gives occasion fur a suggestion. Would tt not,
perhaps, be money well spent lo df vote some portion
of tho funds of this missionary society toward a mis
sion to toach tolerance to the "so-called Christian
children?" What the reverend doctor means by
nationality" Is undoubtedly " religion " or"falth,'
These little onea are ret lied liccause they are Jews,
not because they are Americans or Itusslanaor Poles,
4c. I have no doubt I hat If the "New York City Mis
sion and Traet Society among the Hebrews," or Ur.
BchaurHer, will announce their Intention to Christian'
lie and educato some of the so-called "Christian
children" ln their duties tn other children that not
only wilt fney find ample scope for their laudablo
etfurti. hut also that amplo funds will be contributed
for so laudable and truly an American purpose by the
Jewa of this city. B. D. Wou-x, It. D.

Followers of racing; aro looking forward to a
week of splendid sport, These are the closing
days of the Coney Island Jockey Club's most
successful meeting, and two ot tho most valu
able prixes of the yenr aro to bo decided at
Bheopsheod Bay. To-day tho pick of the two-year-olds
meet for tho f20,000 Great Trial
Stakes over the Futurity course, and on Satur
day next tho best ot tho Kastorn three-year-olds,
barring Voter and On Deck, both of which were
not nominated, will try conclusions ln tho Reali
zation Stakes at ono mile and Ave furlongs.
For the Great Trial to-day a romarkably good
looking and well-bred lot of youngsters will go
to the post. Among them aro tbo stako winners
Firearm, from August Belmont's stable, with
an unbeaten record bohlnd him; PhUlp J. lawy
er's Handball, winner of somo of tho richest
prizes for two-year-olds decided bo far this year
and ono ot tho most consistent youngsters In
training; M. F, Dwycr's Previous, winner of tho
Great American Stakes; It, U Itoso's Archduko.
a winner nnd a halt brother to the mighty
sprinter Clifford; tho Morris pair, Bowling
Brook and Varus; John McCatTcrty's crack filly
Kltcfoot. John G. FoUansbco's smashing colt
Jlurlllo, K. L, Qraves's Commorce, Jno. K. Mnd
den's Hamburg, Charles Flolschmann & Son's
Georgo ICocne. Lewis Elmoro's Laudemann, L.
&& W. P. Thompson's The Huguenot, and Mar
cus Daly's Ally Briar Sweet, a sister to Br. Has
brouck. This Is tho best field of two-year-olds
that has gono to tho post this year East or Wost.
Firearm, by tho easo with which ho shouldered
120 pounds and won in a romp, Urmly estab
lished himself ln tho hearts ot the talent last
woek, and this spanking son of Rayon d'Or nnd
Fides will probably bo the favorite at post time
to-day. Ho has speed, size, and ability to
carry weight about all thtt ono looks for
In a high -class rnccborso and If ho
is beaten to-day thero will bo sorrow ln
tho camp of tho plungers. Handball hoa
been a singularly consistent colt, hut Klrcirm
beat him for tho Nursery, nnd other colls havo
boaton htm at times since. Mr. Dwycr is ot the
opinion that Handball sbould havo to-day an
unbeaten record, and thinks that tho son of
Hanover should bo waited with, instead ot
being rushod to tho front at tho start. Tho colt
Is under-sized, but It must bo admitted that
ho packs weight remarkably well. Previous
seems to bo held safo by Hamburg, tho last
named having beaten tho son of Med
dler qulto decisively on both occasions of
their mooting, Wilhite, howover, cannot do
justice to such a colt ns Hamburg, and un
less Mr. Maddon puts up a heavier jockey
to-day his colors will scarcely bo prominent.
Archduke has long been selected by some cry
closo observers as the ultimato champion of tho
roar, and those people all say. "Walt until tho
big fellow gets used to tho gamo and knows
what's wanted of him, and you will seo a rncc
borso. " It is well known that this colt has re
peatedly shown halves ln 48 seconds at the Bay,
and Trainer Rogors makes no secret ot tho fact
that ho expects a lot ot the son of Iroquois.
John McCatfcrty's smart Ally Kltcfoot appears
to Im qulto tho peer of her full sister
Winged Foot nnd tho daughter of Buchannn
and her wily Jockcy-owncr-tralncr must not no
overlooked to-day. Varus Is not as goo.luiolt
by n good deal as his stable companion, I tow Hug
Brook, although earlier In tho season he ,,s
classed ns ono ot tho boat of his age In training.
Ho ran Ills last race and won It In blinkers, but
dlsplacd even then a currish streak und evi
dently wanted to etoti when hard prcs-ed by
Groat Bend and Wild Warrior. Bon ling llrook
looks like a useful colt and Is one that ehould
Improvo from now on unloss ho gets loo much
of It. Murillo is highly thought of bv his hand
somo oung nttnor. and If Jack !olliinshcc's
colt should win, thousands would bo heartily
glad. Murillo Is nut unllko Morcllo. his dead
slro. nnd this colt cannot help developing Into n
very useful horse. The going to-dny should suit
him. as ho likes a fast track. Georgo Keeno Is n
frood colt, ono that the best of thorn cannot tako
Ibvrties with, and ho has beaten Hamllmll
and other good ones with a slight call in tho
weights. Comtnerco is a practically unknown
?unntity, third ln a maiden race a few ilnj n ago.
Ie Is from the stablo of Graves & Co.. tho
former ownors of Georgo Keeno. I-audemann
is ono ot tho improving kind, coming with
qulto a rattle at tho finish in his last
two races. Briat Hwcol showed a worldof spued
in tho early part of oneof her races at Graves
end. and Marcus Daly's money is snld to havo
I lieen responsible for ihe short price sho had In
the speculation that day. She will havo t run
from end to end to-d.ty. Tho Huguenot Is tho
very handsome brother to Henry of Navarre,
trained by James Itowc. His form in the two
races ln which he hns participated does not
nugurthnt ho will beatlmt-clnsshorse. Navarre
himself was not a track two-)cnr-old by any
menus. Domino, II) dcrubad, Ihjbblns, and Horn

tho balance of those engugod Tn tho Urand Cir

where tho word will be given which Is to start
tho grand campaign of 1HD7 just one week from
to-morrow. I'rcsldcnt llutlur's Knst View
Farm string, in charge of Dr. Mutt Hoi
Jenberk, was shipped to Hartford Friday
last, whero Cephas Is to start In tho -:)-class.
The best work ho had for his race was n
mllo In 'Jllll'j, but ho tlnlshed so strong uud
Irish that It would appear ah though ho will
Kite n good account of himself today. From
Hartford tha stablo goes direct tn Dctiolt.
"Knap" McCarthy is getting his big string
ready for shipment and will move, toward tho
ond of the woek. Ho ttlll also start with Detroit
and go down the line.
With the exception of William I'cnn, who Is
still going slow, tho string is ln good shupe and
ready to rate. John Daly will leave Tuesday,
taking only K, T, Hteinway's pacer Elf, hy Stein

three-year-old pacer l'atchon Hoy, 1 Wilkes

In 2:12V. 2:104, and 2:12i. Several other
clever ones are also entered. Kit mado her first
start at the I'oughkeepsle meeting, whero sho
won the 3:31 pace, taking a record of 2:lb4,
nnd last week sho worked a mile oyer the same
track In 2:lla. Daly la very tmitidcnt that ho
has the winner of the big pacing et cut, and the
black filly certainly bna Iho speed, tho only
question being whether oho Is up to the rasping
race which will certainly bo demaudodof tho
winner of that event. .,,

bod him in chargo, considered him a great pros

quickly to his (peed, having trotted a mile ouly
the day before his death ln 2:21. The cause of
death was tumor of the stomach.
