SOULS champion race to-day were postponed
I from halt-past three o'clock to between five
and six o'clock. Long before the time fixed
the places assigned to the spectators were all
filled, and there We're in the villages hundreds
anxious TO secure conveyances to the Lake.

was the first to take place. The Yale took
the lead, Brown next, and Princeton in the
rear These positions We're nearly two miles
out, when Brown, which was nearest to Yale
and hang ling with great tenacity on her STERN
made squirt Yale made Il tremendous
effort, and in about a dozen pulls shot ahead
three or four lengths.
The last of the three miles Were then reached
and Princeton. who was holding its position
on the west side OF the lake few lengths in
the rear of Brown, went into Il gallop and
shot ahead with great speed. In half a dozen
strokes Princeton overhauled Yale and in IL
few minutes Tapped on her
| Yale now having shaken off Brown. in ap-
parent dismay saw Princeton coming up on Il
home stretch, like race-horse, a d tried to
| equal the pace of the new Ontestant but her
strokes We're nothing like so powerful as when
challenged by Brown, besides Yale was off
of the line of course, was further off than it
was on the west side, up which Princeton was
dashing on bee line.
The Yale turned her head to meet a forward
view, apparently to shorten the rum when,
with her weakened stroke, she suffered dis
advantage instead Of advantage. On came
the Princeton, gaining at every stroke, and,
crossing the line, the race was given to the
Princeton, and the Princeton color was hoisted
on the flagstaff, above that Of the Yale, but
the decision was disputed and it was said a
reconsideration would be granted.
The single scull race was commenced at
o'clock, and the boats of the Cornell Yale
and Harvard started. Yale took the lead
Harvard closely pressing upon her, end Cor
nell falling Oft every stroke. Yale was in the
middle, but on Il straight line for the signal
boat. Harvard was on the west, but Rugged
close to her apparently. On reaching the
second mile and home stretch, it was evident
that Wilcox, of Yale, had the range. He
came in handsomely 4 boats length ahead.
The winner was greeted with cheer upon
cheer for his victory. His time for two miles
was 4:l2t
LATER The judges have decided that
the Princtons won the race in 1O:12, But
before the decision Yale had resolved to 81
up the flag, if the race had been given to them,
because they would not receive it on mere
technically. The dispute originated in the
fact that Princeton came in outside of the
stake-boat 1t was found she had to do this
or be cut in two by Yale.
