they hunted us, and took our water. Finally Har-
ward pulled away the east side of the course"
The WeSleyans claim second position in the race
being very close TO Yale. As Yale and Wesleyan
passed the grand staah. weseyans bow was lap
ping Yales stern about foot; at the finish the
Yales "spurted" up and widened the distance
slightly.
On visiting the Amhersts after the race, they were
found dressed and in their right minds, but ex-
ceedngly dubious to the order of boats; claiming
to be second or third, they believed that
Cornell and Harvard were next behind
them. According 10 Ward and Brown they
started at forty 20 the minute, and gained
lead of quarter of a length at once, but the
Freshman boat, in which they were obliged to row
because Of the wrccking of their own shell on
Tuesday, trimmed so poorly and lurched so badly
that Brown caught bad crab. Ward lessencd the
stroke to s. at which rate the average the rest of
the race was pulled. The boat troubled them, but
they rowed steadily possible under the circum
stances. Brown declared that two crews only were
ahead of him when he stopped rowing.
The Williams men were found at supper, feeling,
as Mr. Gtinster said, rather blue" at having come
in eleventh. Within an hour or so of the race
Saunders had a slight attack Of congestion of the
lungs Eaton had not fully recovered from
similar attack. Add the fact that the substitute
was put into the boat only day or two since in
place Of Barnnart and it is not surprising that this
fine crew was left behind from the start. Gtinster
never set them a racing stroke, but pulled slowly
and steadily. Williams men have met with
hard luck from the beginning Of the sea-
son, and deserve great credit for the plucky way
they have met the many and serious obstacles
with which they have had to contend.
A large number of Columbia men had gathered at
the quarters of their crew. and seemed well satisfied
with having beaten Bowdoin, Dartmouth, and the
"Agges," they claiming to have come in fourth or
fifth Rapallo was still sore and stiff from the effects
Of the collision Of the Amherst and Columbia crews
on Tuesday.
At the "Acgy" quarters Simpson was putting
cigar and describing 30 an interested circle what he
termed " the strangest race he ever pulled The
"Aggies' were all feeling WELL except Clay, whohad
been suffering slightly from pleurisy, They pleaded
guilty to having captured several szeable crabs"
The "Aggies" made find squirt at one point which
carried them within three of the head but suddenly
they lost Roadway and fell back.
They complained that Yale pulled across their
bow before being entitled to their water. Bow
doin's claim Of foul by Dartmouth and Of the sec
ond place. only added to the general confusion, which
Is worse COMPOUNDED by the emphatic statement of
Anderson, the bow oar of the Cornes, that beyond
peradyonture his crew came in fourth.
