[bt telegraph to the herald.]
Sprinopirld, Mass., June 20. 1877.
Columbia has boon defeated, unit the mugouta this
evening Uies above the blue und white. That the
Coiumbias palled a plucky race must everywhere be
fc!milled. Kvery man or tier oight threw his wholo
loul Into tho contost, nnd although her Ills trails in
the dusi It must bo aitrlbutea, not to lack of honest,
Conscientious eOort, bul ratnor to tho overwhelm
Inn superiority ot the' Harvard*. In a lour-mtlo
itraighl away raco muscle and endurance, triming
lud long praetico in pulling together must loll, la
these essentials Columbia was lamentably deficient.
Her opponents have bad all tho benotils accruing from
extended training and practice ia rowing us
in eight, whlio the Colutublai wcro com
paratively fresh Ju this respect, having
never rowed togetner ns a crew until Thursday last.
Bosldes this they failed to recolve their boat until Frl
lay, and nail not boen over tho courso on "time" un
til within twenty-tour hours of tho raco. Independent
ot questions of mere physical superiority these things
aro of telling ofleel upon a crew pitied against prac
tised rivals. Columbia's captatu is ono of
the best araatour oarsmen in America, as
' Well as ono of ttio best couches, but
Dolther bis porsonal skill with tho oar nor his experi
ence in handling men could lalrly bo expected to ac
complish moch in the limited time before him.
For these reasons, which I have hui briefly recited,
the friends of Columbiu must extend their charity.
Tho boys of the Kmpin Slate did their best to uphold
Its honor They pulled a gallant race to itie very last
Btroke aud lest it by a scarce three lengths?pretty
close, sharp work tor a four-mile race, won hut by
thirteen seconds. Tho friends ot the iiarvards assort
that their favorite pulled Insido of themselves and
could nave lowered iho tiinn materially. This Is prob
ably true, for It was notlceablo that toward tho closo
tho Harvard stroke dropped to thirty-three, having
couiuienced at thirty-live, aud held at thirty-lour over
tho greater part of the cou.sre.
UXPLKASANT WKATIIKU
Tho day was dark and ctioerloss, with loweriDg skies
and muggy, disagreeable atmosphcro, dispiriting iu
tho extreme. Whatever slight enthusiasm may'have
licen manifested early in the lore noon lll^P'le'^e^?
tho Uav advanced, aud tho occasional dashes ot ralu
that loll toward noon bad a discouraging effect that
was everywhere apparent In the hotel lobbies and
pool rooms small knots gathered and discussed the
piobnbiltties ol tho rare aud tbo turther probabilities
ot It being rowed iu a pelting rain storm.

surrounding country to tho effect that a post
ponement had been ordered may havo had
something to do with checking tho at-oudance,
and the appearance ol tho skies certainly must havo
given an iir ol truth to the rumors. Apprehensions
ota still breezo wore, lortucately, not realized. The
wind blew steadily Irom tho southward during the
early part ol the day, and it was feared that It it in
creased in velocity the result would be a roughness n
tho vicinity ol I'ecowsic, at least, that would seriously
allect the time.

Jlarvards indulged in no practice other than ? *hort

and ueing evenly mulched in Height, they looked Itko

tho western side ol the river. A long delay then, ensued
from tlio fact thai Baucroli imagined that. his
niakeboat was too lar up stream. Iho mistake
occurred Irom thoro being a gentle curve in tno river
at this point, and us tho harvard boat was not poiut

s'crns ol the boats were unevenly plated. Ihty weio
not however and by the time the matter was settled a
SulVter o" an hour had elapsed. At precisely ob -Am.

water together and without an y sp I ash 11 igs tarled away
down tho course. Harvard began With 38. stro? ?

commenced u splendid struggle ' ^ ' |ou?
Harvard men pulled vigorously, but wItn
mow ntroke Tho Columbias, on tho other hand, rowed
quickly and nervously, slashing
water Willi a wicked, vicious cut, which soon I i wet

The Harvard*, ou tbo other baud, were *till

though in a practice pull. Prom this point it
became evident that tbu race was all in tbelr lunds.
Columbia might struggle alnuf asgrittlly as It pleased,
but uo elloru tbat they could make could do unytliing
against tbe weight, musclo and endurance iu tbo other
bout. On the third mile tbe gap was widened to four
lengths, Harvard rowing 34 and Columbia 87. Then
Harvard suddenly eased up, and Columbia began
to spurt. This closed Uio ?u|> by about a
length, and this interval lasted till the tlmeli. i'rotn
tbo beglnumg to tbe end Columbia rowed pluckily.
They were outmatched, however, at overy point, in
selection of men, in style and In practice. For a short
ball mile she made u very brilliant race, struggling
splendidly tor the lead, and then from that on she hud
not a ciiunce. To her credit, be It said, tbat
vhen she crossed the line every one ol her
men were utterly worn out by the tremendous work
tliey bad undergone. No man spared hitn^ell, and If
pure pluck emild have wou tbe raco tbe blue and
while would have been victorious. Harvard finished
easily and without effort. She slackened ber stroke
to thirty-three ou tbe lust bull ol the fourth mile uud
crossed the line rowing well within themselves. Tbo
time was 21m 37s.; Columbia's was 21ai. 60)?s. This
tiuiu will probably be beaton on Friday In the great
rune. The proof afforded this alternuou that Harvard
hus a suporb crew will ouuse tbe ruce with Vale to bo
looked torward to with more interest than ever.
By the way, at the start, the word "Uo" was given
before tho steumcr River Bell, which curried the press,
had come (*own to tho line. Tbe hour was

PREVENTION OF CRIME.
OBOAN1Z iTION AND PBOOBZM OF TH.: NEW HO
CItTY-WUAT IT AIliH TO ACCOMPUHH ASP
Will UK IT WILL EKOIN.
Tbo formation ol a Society for the Prevention of
Oime, which gives indications of formidable purpose
and serious practical effort, must naturally prove of
Interest to nil rlgbt winded citizons o( Now York.
Anything of that sort, unprejudiced by fanatical or po
litical motive*, and directed by men of good standing
In ttie community, will receive respect and support.
The now society, o( which tbe Jtov. Or. Howard Croaby
la president, seems to be regarded in tbia
light. In us communications with tbe Po
lice and Kxclse boards an amount of energy
and perspicuity has been displayed sufficient to com
mend it to tho good wUbes of all reformers. Tbo
1'rosident, who is absent in Kuropo for tho summer
months, has written u lotter in which he recommend*
tbe society to bis friends and the pabllo, and asks their
financial support, guaranteeing that the money wtll be
used in onloromg the laws. Contributions may be
soul to Mr. Benjamin Latham, treasurer, of No. 8S
llockmau streut; or 10 Mr. William K. Mott, chairman
ol the Kxooutive Cominiu.ce, of No. 83 Irving place.
what is INTKNUKO.
Tho last mentioned geutienian was visited by a rep
resentative ol the Hkkalu, to whom he gave a general
account ol tbo sooicty's progress thus far. He said
that the idea ol such an organization hiul bean commu
nicated to Dr. Crosby a tew weeks ago, and lostcred
by him and his ussociates until the society now num
bers llliy.two mem here. None but rep
roi-eutative nu-n who would t-ivo the society
uctivo support hud boeu addrcssod upon the
subject, und notie others were desired. They desired
the support ol all good citizens, and expected to gel
it; iiiiu ttiose who could Ouvuie souio ol their time to
ttio labors ol tho society would bo welcome to mem
bership As yot, Mr. Molt said, no formal appeal hud
been made to the public, because people do not under*
stand it thoroughly, uud the organisation was stii!
uiiliuishud. The Kxocutlve Committee hul appointed
three sub-committees ou law, tluunco und information.
These will soon make their reports, and thou luoro ol
the plaus may he unfolded. The society has no agouti
at present, and does not propose to begin Its campaign
until completely equipped. Mr. Mott said the visit ol
l>r. Crosoy to Kuropo was uol at ull in connection with
this Hubji-ct, but that Ins ubsuuco might in a small de
groe hinder the advancement of the association. Slnco
tno inception ol this other aim kindred societies
had been started In lirookiyu and Jersey
Ciiy, while others yot were spoken of;
all of which, Mr. Molt believed, would co
operate more or less in future. They were nntlcl
Iiatuig, lie sa d, some commniiicatloii from tbe Board
ol Kxciso Commissioners which might assist in do
lining tho character o' s'jine of their future action*.
The now society was not a tcinporance leauuo, though
it bau in View the promotion of temperance by regula
tion of tho liquor trulllc. It did not mean to go to ex.
trem"S in any reform, hut to be guided by iho advice
and support ol liboral minded, well uieuning business
men. '1'ne reason lor tho society's slow progress was
uu over diligence to secure the assistance ol only that
class ol uten to the oxclusiou of "stiCKs" und fanatical
relorinera. Thoy would be glad ol any assistance Iroin
temprrance societies, for their ends were to u certain
extent the same. Tho socioty hud already been as
sured ol the co-oporation of uutne of theiu.
TilK KlttST I'OIXT Olf ATTACK.
Mr. Molt said tho socioty ot course attributed th?
greatest share ot ovii to drink, and looked upon the
indiscriminate sale ol liquors as the most irultlut
source oI crime. They deplored iho condition of that
trntllc hi this city, and believed unions regulated it
weald lead to very sorlous demoralization. statistics
trout tho I-land prisons show, bo suid, that seventeen
tweuliulhs ot the poverty und misery there witnossed
Came fioin liquor. The aoolety bad no Cotter iu Its
service. Inn it had asked the Hoard of Kxc.lso Commis
i inn i s lor lists ol licensed liquor dealers, and proposed
to begin tho luhl on the weakest point of tho liue?
vi/.. ugtio*t those who were selling without any
licenw whatever. TIk^o are hundreds ol ausb placet
in .Seer Vurk, he said. Rid tbo society would tuko up
thuir cares Ural bucauro thoy were entirely
duietioelese. It was in such places that the very
wortt sort of liquor wan sold, and sold at ratos porbups
a tittle lower than tho liceusod trade. Mr. Molt said
Uiat the society wished to eniorco u strict reading of
tli-i I vci.o laws, aud believed this uccoinplisbiuonf
would lead to grout bonehcial results. Thore was I
sintiie.ul laxity lu tlieso regulations at present, la
which the society intended to dovoto Its llrsi attention.
A1 to uther and tuiuro movements lor the prevention
ol t rime iu ibH city the policy of tbo society would be
shaped as It progrossod. He thougtit thai before July
li ilte matter uould lie In sucli a lorm as to render ex
pe ii nt a meeiiug of tue public, to ?? ho in tho roal
ch tricwr an i object* of tho new association might bo
iuadc known.
