The Columbias Walk Away With the

to Everyone.
New LONDON, CT, June 26.

New LONDON, CT, June 26.
The Columbia has won her first victory on
the Thames course over Harvard, and it was
the best race that ever took place here. The
course was in perfect condition, there was
scarcely any wind or tide, consequently the
competing crews had no assistance in that
direction. Columbas time was 2lm. 3ss,
and Harvard's 22m. 3s. Harvard started off
with 40 strokes to the minute, while Columbia
was putting in 80. Harvard took the lead
and kept it to the half-mile, being tnen about
10 feet ahead of the New Workers. Columbia
kept up a steady 80 stroke to the mile post
Harvard dropping to 81. Harvard worked
hard, but Columbia worked harder, and sue
ceeded in tapping the stern of Harvard at the
ope-mile flag. On sped the boats to the II
mile-flag, with Columbia gradually drawing
away from her adversary. Loud cheers greet
ed Columbia from the excursion train, which
was responded to by spurt from Columbia,
who rowed clean and powerful stroke. dip
ping their ash propellers 40 times tc the min
ute. Harvard here put in some fine rowing, !,
the best during the race, and proved that she
was no match for Columbia, for at the ii
mile flag she was fairly 10 lengths in the rear
of Columbia. Both crews dropped to 81
strokes, and at the 2-mile stake Harvard had
gained . couple of lengths on Columbia.
Both crews then lowered their stroke down
to 36. When nearing the third mile stake
Harvard hitched up to 40, and made gain of
several lengths on Columbia, whose stroke
had dropped to SO. Harvard continued the
quick stroke, straining every muscle to get
the lead, but it was no use. Do all they
could Columbia was not to be beated. Colum-
bia was still rowing 33 strokes and Harvard
was gaining on her. Many thought that
Columbia was nearly exhausted and unable
TO raise her stroke, which she must do or else

but doing simply justice to her memory to
say that she was a daughter worthy of her
father and woman worthy to live in an age
when woman is realizing that there is seme-
thing in this world worth living for No
higher tribute can be paid to her memory
than the words you have spoken, .'The col

yoar words, remind me to urge you to make
her faith your own. Her faith was a belief
in God, in Christ, in the Church, a holy liv
ing in the resurrection of the dead and in
life everlasting
Make such faith your faith; live as you
profess to live and you may safely leave your
future with God
