 ters, the Harvard launch struck on 8 sunke1 pile and broke off her wheel and about two
 feet of her shaft Tuesday afternoon. Int
 accident interferes with coaching. The Yale
 launch being found to be unsatisfactory
 they have made arrangements for the ust
 of the Columbia's from now till the ract 1 comes off.

Yesterdays Pos says: "A rumor is in circulation among certain few today that the Harvard crew l without Yale's knowledge or that of outsid CTS, has been over the course very recent, within twenty minutes, in fact number O seconds inside of that time. As yet few wis
 itors have arrived, but the indications pein
 to a large assemblage to witness the contest The Columbia crew left for New York b, boat. Captain EIdridge continues to improve | though still quite weak and lame. The Yal launch will have to be sent back to tn
 builder to be widened and otherwise altered before she will be adapted to the purpose fo } which she was designed Harvard's launcl
 has been disabled, and they will be withou , one for day or two"
