conducive. toward sustaining the good
humor of the larGe crowds that f1ocked
by rail and carriage to the scene Of con-
test. On the Connecticut, five miles
south of the city, the water was as
smooth as could be desired, and there
was nothing that the most fas-
tidious oarsman could object to in
any respect. The freshman race, timed
to begin at o'clock, but did not come
off until ALI, when successful start
was made, Harvard taking the lead, but
she was soon left in the luFch by Yale
and Amherst, and Yale finally passed
the stake boat ahead, gaining the race
in IL minutes So seconds, Amherst COM
ing in second in Is minutes 344 seconds,
and Harvard bringing up the rear ia
% minutes 81 seconds. The start in the
University race was made at 8 O'Clock.

first appeared that Harvard had
won, and by mistake the coiors
were adiudged to her. The error soon
became evident, however, and the Yale
was finally pronounced the winner.
