 The Harvard Races-SsveraI ofthe Stu- dents Injared.
 BosToN, Got 21-What might have been terrible calamity occurred at the Harvard boat house yesterday. Just as the eights were ready to start for the scratch races the balcony of the boat house gave way, preoipi- tating over thirty men into the mud and wa- ter below. Eight men were injured more or less seriously. The balcony was on level with the second floor of the building, about fifteen feet above the piazza extension of the first floor, and extended the whole length of the boat house. From the piazza three long bridges extend to the large float in the river. The tide was about half flood at the time of the accident, and the distance from the piaz- za to the water at the river bank was .aboat tsn feet. Very few students were on the lower piazza of the boat house. The major ity of the spectators were on the balcony above. There were about seventy five stu dents there and some twenty-five others had climbed to the roof to get better view of the course. All was expectancy and good cheer. The upper class men were expected to make an exciting race, and the freshmen, of whom five eights were to row later, were looked to for untold amounts of sport. The eyes of all the spectators were turned eager ly to the place of starting. Suddenly the middle post supporting the balcony gave way. The plank flooring broke in the mid. dle, and thirty men or more were dropped into the mud and water of the Charles.
 An indescribable scene of confusion follow ed Those who were left on the ends of the balcony and those who had climbed to the roof piled down on the piazza and the bridges into the mud to rescue their friends The word to start now, but literally pulled for life up te the floats.
