INTERCOLLEGIATE ROWING.
The Annual Race Between Yale and
Harvard.

The coming Yale Harvard race is
increased in interest by Harvard's
magnificent exhibition of rowing on
Saturday. The record between Yale
and Harvard now stands to in
Yale's favor. II can be seen that
Harvard has much more 10 gain by vic
tory this year than Yale. The following
record gives the time and winning crew
since the race was established: 1876, Yale,
22202; Harvard, 22;3l; 1877, harvard, 9l;36;
Yale, NA3; 1878, Harvard, 2Q45; Yale,
2l39; 1870, Harvard, 22I5 Yale, 1858;
1880, Yale, 2dI7 Harvard 300; 1881,
Yale, 2213; Harvard, 2210; 1889, Harvard,
2047 Yale, 20.50; 1888, Harvard, 25:l0;
Yale, 27;o2i 1884, Yale, 2O;3li Harvard,
The Columbia College eight was badly
beaten by Harvard on Saturday afternoon
at New London. When Harvard crossed
the line, Columbia was half a mile in the
rear. Columbia rowcd pluckily, but Har-
wards men were too strong for her. IIar-
ward started with 36 stroke which gave
her the lead. She soon dropped TO 81
stroke. which was steadily kept up during
the race, increasing it slightly only when
Columbia made frantic spurts. Harvard's
time was 2im 27s., Columbia's, 26m. 22s.
Harvard's crew is superior to any that
ever represented Cambridge on the
Thames course, not excepting the wonder
full rs crew. The Columbia-H Harvard rec
ords on the Thames course are as follows:
1881, Harvard, 2lm. i5s.; Columbia, 2lm.
5Ss. 1882, Harvard refused to row; Co
lumbia went over the course and was
awarded the race. 1888, Harvard Dim.
49,; Columbia, 25m. as 1891, Harvard,
Dim. 3l2s.; Columbia, 2im. los. 1885, Har-
ward, 2im. 27s.; Columbia, 26m. DDS.
Cycling.
Thirteen members of the Capital Bicy-
Gle Club took the wheel yesterday and
went into Alexandria County. They
crossed the Aqueduct bridge and after
passing Arlington, went down the tow
path and Columbia road to the Alexandria
and Washington turnpike. From there
they went to Alexandria, making the trip
from Fort Runyon to the canal basin, five
miles, in twenty minutes. They returned
by the ferry boat.
From n reccntly published list of cycling
clubs it is to be noted that Philadelphia
has quite number of such organizations.
The largest are the Germantown and
Pennsylvania clubs, with sixty members
cach the Philadelphia Club, with forty
five members, and the Penn City and
Frankfort clubs, with thirty-ive mem
bers each. There are over half dozen
smaller organizations in Philadelphia.
The Fistic Art.
The scrap at the ComiQue Garden, which
city and John Il. Kline of the Quaker City
Saturday night, has provoked a great deal
of feeling among the sports of this city.
Kane's friends are outspoken in their
belief in the Washington lads ability to
do up the Quaker City Good one"
Kline has made a host of friends and that
he is plucky and scientific there can be no
doubt. Friends of both parties are trying
to arrange meeting between them for q
glove fight to finish instead of the two
best out Of three rounds. AS they fought
Saturday night everything indicates that
a match will be arranged. If such should
be the case, the time and place of meeting
between the Paragon" and the Good
one" Will be duly announced.

events, winning everything for which she
entered On Friday her four easily de-
feated the fastest four ever organized by
