AFTER THE RACE.
SARATOGA, July Is, 1874.

After four O'Clock the cheering and parading in
Saratoga ceased and the smaller emulations took
on importance. deeper feeling between Harvard
and Yale than has yet been known Is engendered,
and 1t is carried irrespective OF the victory OF
! Columbia, from the iact that the Wesleyans came
/ in second. The Wesleyans are scarcely noted at
all In the conflict between the two fast University
! crews nor Is Columbia envied by any for her
beautiful victory to-day. The Yale and the
Harvard crew have apparently had semi personal
feeling ever since Robert J. Cook has managed the
boating interests or Yale. Cook is Pennsylva
inian, OF a positive temperament and some vtgOr Of
feeling and speech. He has paid 50 much attention
things athletic That he has twice been set back
in his class. He has studied boating by per-
:sonal visits to Europe among the university
crews there, and has the full confidence
and admiration OF his eollegians, who believe in
his entire loyalty to Yale and 70 fair play. His
strong nature, indispostion to mince matters
and incapabiity of adopting the diplomatic style
OF Harvard have worked to his disadvantage with
the partisans OF tnat powerful school, while at the
same time he is accused of permitting his feelings
80 get the better OF his scholasticsm and the
OF to-day in large part turned upon himself.
harvard determined to beat Cook, not Yale, ex.
cept as Cook represents it to-day.
YALE's TROUBLE.
According to the testimony Of some careful
servers Ine SurOke OF ale was SIekuy anu equal
and rapidly gaining upon all competitors, working
at 50 to the minute, when there was good ma
tured cry of Cook across his shoulder, saying
"Dana, you can't win this race; you don't possess
the stuffn The Harvard boat was then turned
across Yale's course and an oar was viciously
showed out, which damaged the Shell
and made lales bow dip deep and break
ef When they got ashore Cook denounced Dana
as a Jockey and not an honest captain. This led
to deep personal feeling between Cook and Dana
and their partisans, extending like a political
quarrel to family affairs Cook told Dana he could
whip him then and there. Dana possessed
enough influence with his crew to have
Yale's challenge for an immediate race
over the same course rejected. Cook intends
to stay in college and row again. The Yale
men say That Dana is as tricky as his father, who
took the notes of William Lawrence Beach on
Wheaton's International Law without credit. They
all believe Yale was wiliuly fouled and allege that
Harvard's way OF rowing is Invariably jockeyish
and jesultical. Nevertheless, the judges, OF whom
there are always too many, decided against Yale
tonight by the following document
