The Yale-H Harvard Boat Race.

NEW LONDON, June 26.-Not in the his
tory of the Yale-Harvard aqustics has the
interest manifested previous to the race
been brought to such q high state of ex-
element as it was before to-day's contest.
Early last night all the hotels were over
crowded, and lodgings were not to be had
at any price. The night trains from Bog
ton and New York and the New York
boats largely increased the number OF
visitors, and morning trains from all d.
r~ections came in crowded. New Haven
sent in an excursion train of fifteen cars in
addition to the regular trains. The bet.
ting, after the Columbia's race, changed
from odds on Yale to even money, and
then to odds on Harvard, and now about
even. An unusually large amount of
money has been put up on the result Of
the race. The final betting was about
even, although some enthusiastic Harvard
men gave odds rather than not place their
money. At 8 O'Clock the water was in ex-
cellent condition, there being but o slight
| ripple and very slight southwest wind.
Before the race betting was 100 to 80 on
| Harvard. The decline in Yale stock was
due to Captain Flanders illness. Al
though Flanders was i'll il was decided that
it would be better for him to row than to
make q change in stroke. At about 9:45
the breeze freshened considerable and
blew almost square across the course. This
was considered an advantage for Yale. The
water had grown quite rough ct 1915
o'clock. The Harvard boat came out at
