INGLESIDE, Mass July 21-The second day Oh
the here has been Of the charming OF the
season. and the state OF the atmosphere and the river
has been all that the most fastdious boatman could
desire; even the careful Harvards could find cause
for delay. The beautiful valley with its EMPOWERED
farm-houses and broad grain-felds, appeared more
lovely than ever, and the crowds OF gaily-
dressed ladies the slopes of Ingeside and
along the banks OF the river added "a charm
which the duh hour of the first did not
know The day had scarcely dawned before the crews
were out upon the banks, and all the available water
crafts of Springfield and vicinity were to DO seen srug
Cling up toward the racecourse and long be-

long bridge which the Connecticut at the lower
stake connecting West Springfield with ChcOpee, was
crowded the houseops along the shore were select

The races had peculiar interest to-day, they were
the first under the new regime OF the recognized Col
| ege Association, and the competition between these
| institutions brought out visitors and bets which q
| simple boat sace could not have secured. The alb
sence of Yale, however, was q much more serious
| loss than many supposed, and the non-appearance
of the Blue and its champions was everywhere
commented upon with feelings OF regret
The Magenta made its appearance everywhere
this morning, and the coats, neck-ties, and bon
nets which cherry Tuesday, appeared TO have
changed their color in universal concert All the other

Bass and some Of the other Harvard oarsmen seemed
to regret that they had not had the proper training
by which their predecessors have been often yctor
