and continued so until half past IL
o'clock, but still no start was msde. At
I'LL the start was effected At II 40
the Yale eight pulled out into the
stream and at 11:41 drew up to the
buoy which was nearest the west or
right bank, amid the shouts of the Yale
men on the moving stand, and there
waited fully 10 minutes for the Har-
ward which did not get afoat before
noon, to draw into line at12:40 o'clock,
when the word go was given. The
Yales caught the water first, but before
six strokes had been pulled the Har-
wards, who were rowing magnifcently,
went to the front, pulling 36 strokes
a minute and the Yales 33, but with
less force, their chang" at the COM
mencement of a stroke being to their
admirers painfully apparent. Before
three-quarters of mile had been
passed, Harvard was from three to
four lengths anead, pulling uniform
stroke, while Yale was making 30, and
very ragged. Just before the navy yard.
half the distance was reached, Yale
was three lengths behind, both crews
pulling even at thirty-four strokes.

was now hopelessly behind from five to
six lengths, and still pulling thirty-four
strokes. On the last part of the last
mile the Harvard crew, which evident

squirt and easily increased their lead
passing the line from ten to twelve
lengths ahead. Yale pluckiIy pulled
through the race until across the line.
The official time is: Harvard, 20:44&:
