The Races On the Thames.

Time Changed For the Harvard-C oIum- bia Race-Talk About the Yale-Har- yard Race-YaIe Beaten On the Dia- mond by Princeton.
 On Saturday afternoon Captain Goodwin, | representing Columbia, and Colonel Ban
 croft, representing Harvard, met at the quar- ters of the last named crew in New London
 and decided, after a brief and informal con- ference, that the Harvard Columbia race, ] which was to have been rowed Saturday af- ternoon, shall be rowed on the morning of July 3, three days after the Yale-Harvard
 race. The coxswain of the Columbia fresh
 man crew will take the place of the lamented
 Benjamin in the Columbia boat.
 This week on Friday the great race be-
 tween the Yale and Harvard crews will take place. Among the New Londoners there is 8 prevalent belief that the "blues" will carry off the laurels. But there are others who
 claim to know little something about boat ing, who asking themselves if the quick
 and apparently exhaustive stroke of Yale will not weary them to the point of ''hunking"
 before the race is more than three quarters rowed; and If the slower and less fatiguing stroke of the Harvards will not send that shell to the fore at l the finish line. Friends of the HarVards say that they will row waiting race;" that l they will keep their force in reserve until they see Yale tiring under it's forty -four-to- 1 the minute stroke, and will then make 6 series of spurts-something they can easily do, for they propose to make thirty-e eight to \ the minute their average stroke-and gain | lead that Yale cannot recover. But such prophecies do not disturb Yale's equsnimity at all The blues are confident that they fY he nf | the race
 The race set for Friday next will be the seventh iu the series of eight pared contests | between Yale and Harvard. Each crew has l won three races, and the coming one is the ''rubber'' The first race in the series was 1 rowed at Springfield, Mass, in 1876. Yale won in g minutes and seconds; Harvard | finishing in 22:3l. In 1877 the race was also | rowed at Springfield, Harvard winning in | 24:36 against Yale's 24:43. All subsequent l races were rowed at New London, Harvard l winning the next two in 2O:44 and 22:15 | against 21:29 and 23:48 by Yale In 1880 | Yale came in winner and again in the follow | ing year, the time being 24:27 and 22:13 against 25:9 and 22:19 made by Harvard. Yale's launch has broken her rudder and | is laid up for repairs.
 | A boat race bulletin will be issued, as fn former years, on the day of the race. The teamer Cygnet has been engaged for press | boat. Lyman H. Bagg, Yale '63, will look ! after the bulletin and press men. He has ] satisfac orily attended to that duty during | the last four years. An observation train" | will keep alongside the crews during the race The Yale launch attracts much attention. It 1 is marvel of speed.
 On Saturday local betting on the result of the race was even.
 The hottest day of the season proved to be 1 somewhat chilly one for Yale in New York. The crowd of 5000 that gathered to witness | the game was thoroughly permeated by col | lege and their fair friends, and they l cheered and clapped as Justify as if it were l the bleak winds of November that swept | across the field instead of the scorching cur rents from the equator Princeton won the I game by one run. Yale played very strong game, Badger, Jones. Hubbard and S. Hop kins doing especially fine work in their respect l i've positions. By lucky process known as ''bupching the hits'' the men of New Jersey | scored so many runs that the steady and effective work of Yale could not avail ! The Princeton pitcher, Ernst pitched swift in and drop curve, just the kind of
 curve that Yale likes, and the result was | that Yale batted so well that Moffat the Princeton left fielder, was substituted, and | the long slow out curve which he had pre-
 vented the champion batters from scoring | but one hit after ward. While it must be ad- mitted that the Princeton nine plays steady,
 careful game, and shows good training, Yale
 has no reason to be discouraged, and Yale l men have no reason to find fault with their
 nine. Princeton won by a mere scratch,
 when she was in the best possible condition
 and had strong partisan crowd to cheer Yale's errors. Yale can win the next game
 by the most careful vigilance in every par
 ticular. Princeton wants to play Tuesday at l New Haven, as she, being barred out of playing with professionals, cannot get any practice games, while Yale has several
 ranged for this week, and her desire will probably be acceded to. Following is the
 score by innings:
