Pionship Badge Fails to Yale.
.t-a SPRINGFIRLD, Mass. July 10. 1879
We have rather dead wood on Old Solomon, tor
the race was to the swift this afternoon At single
scus tor the College Championship, and he Of that
name from Yale did everlastingy wallop his burly
rival from Cornell for this latter was no
other than the famous button, Of the crew which

tainly looked 1T to row Cat and mouse race with
him all the way. Not that the former was not in
good condition for fellow Of his make, but there
seemed no comparison between MIN and hts rival
in strength. .o
HUNTING FOR THB CONTESTANTS.
At I'VE O'Clock, the time set for the race, there
were but few scattered about the head OF the
track, and things did not look very much like
an Intercollegiate race. found Mr.
Swift hanging about among few fellows
on shore stripped, while friend was padding his
shell about near the starting point add two
solitary men-Coulter the trainer, ana Dutton-lay
idly on the Columbia noat, . quarter Of . mile
above. In response to the questions, AREN'T you
going to rowr' "what's the matter ?" each said
he couldn't get referee.
THE START.
Old Hank Ward was soon prevailed upon,
and at Oh. Pm. 20s he got them on. Swift
settled down at once to 30 min
ute, and rowed very cleanly, while he sat
bis boat admirably. Dutton went away on 20,
but he rocked his boat often, seemed Ill at ease,
and swi was leaving him hand over nst &C every
stroke. At the haif-mile swift was still living up
to his really remarkable 49, while hts antagoh 81
could do but &c. and 80 II went on Swift doing hii
work cleanly and coolly, while the other man tired
fell badly behind and grew unsteady until he
crossed the line, swift having gone over minute
ahead OF Dutton, in what Is reported to have beer
lam. ASS but there is much doubt on this point, as
no Official time was taken. WILLIAM BLAKE.
