l
 field, last week, was an unusually brilliant one though the' result has been a good deal muddled by the mismanagemento of the regatta committee and the stupidity of the referee. Contrary to all expecta- tion Yale won the three races. The single scull race was only contested by Cornell, and MT. Swift, the Yale man, won easily. The Freshman race came off at D. m. of Thursday and was contested by Yale, Harvard and Amherst Yale won in IT min. 5 sec. Amherst came in second in 1894; while Harvard made only 1908
 The University race was greatly delayed by mistake of the regatta committee in assigning the Yale and Harvard boats in- sufficient room. Finally, at little after six, the eleven boats started, and after 8 most exciting pull, Yale came in ahead, 1 Weslyan next, and Harvard third. There is SC. much doubt about the other crews that their positions cannot even now be as- signed with any sort of accuracy Much confusion has arisen from the fact that I the starting and closing lines were drawn parallel to each other, while a bend in the river made the latter cross it diagonally. Hence the Harvard boat was apparently in advance of Yale at the finish, though it crossed the line behind both Yale and Weslyan and perhaps behind Amherst
 The triumph of Yale has been greater shock to newspaper men than even to the
 partisans of opposing colleges. For some years it has been considered perfectly
 safe thing to slash Yale, and predict her defeat. Nearly all the correspondents of the great dailies followed the usual rule and ventured prophecies that have proved anything but correct. The Tribune, how ever, found out that patriotic Yalensian had spent several months in Oxford, for the purpose of learning the English stroke, and since his return had been trying to teach it to his crew. It ventured, there fore, rather cautiously, to take some stock Tn Yale and has made lucky hit. The l Times, which threw ''its whole heft" in the opposite direction, is correspondingly ! disgusted. - --..as....f ...',.s -..E..s-,. Really the contest was so close that Yale will have to w1n more victories be- fore the superior excellence of it's new style of rowing will be conceded.

The Litchfeld Enquirer, although it has been an urgent advocate of Consti- tutional Convention, 'sdoes not greatly regret" the defeat of the Harrison bill. It holds that minority representation is the bait which will coax the country towns to the support of a Convention, and that. until representation is pledged to the 1ainorities of those towns, the move ments will not succeed. Inasmuch as the Harrison bill was defeated by the majori- ties in the country towns and as the mi norities did not, and will not under the present system, have any voice ill such matters, we fail to see how such pledges as the Enquirer suggests could possibly affect the decision Of the question. The hands of the rural minorittes aye as effect ual1y tied by the present unequal system of legislative representation as are those of the urban mai ajorities.-Fasnaer.
 The Farmer sserlooks the fact that mi- norities can cast effectuai votes for State officers and Senators, and that they send half the delegates to the political conven- tions. Let a large popular majority, electing State ticket and Senate, and con- trolling political conventions, demand pop ular representation in the House, and the members of that body as at present con stituted will not dare deny it. T-.
 The difficulty with the Harrison plan is that it offers little to urban majorities and norities. Hence it fails to interest the majority cf our whole population in its support, and it aroases ? strong opposi- tion in the small Senatorial Distsicts as we'll as in the small towns. .-.-
