rowers. Busy preparation goes on all about the
shore. The grand stand has been erected on q
basis Of earth underlaid with thick trees, and Is

THE coLLEGIANs GATHERING.
It Is as busting and full OF hurry burly here to
night as l remember it ever being on the eve o
the great race and not two nights before a.
Worcester or Springfield. Yale is here in grea
force, and Harvard, Notwithstanding the broker
bridge on the Albany road, Is almost If not quite
as universally represented. The President looks
fat and comfortable and would make tough worh

very few minutes. Wall street and BrOadw az
faces are almost as plentiful as at home. Old
oarsmen are here-Lyman, OF the Harvard inter
national four; Wilbur Bacon. Of Yale and many
lesser lights. The interest in the foot races Ii
beyond all expectation, and they are freely ant
kindly spoken Of on all sides.
