THE BLUE AND WHITE WINS.
The University Race Between the
Harvard and Columbia Crews,

New LONDON, Ct, June 26.-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 compel
tion. These facts considered, Columbia's
time was even better than with her race
with the Pennsylvania last Thursday, when
they covered the four miles in 2Om Ais, CO.
lumbia's time today was 21m. 3os. and Har-
wards 22m. 3.
AS soon as the result of the race was
known, the band was in the streets, pro-
cession formed and tour of the town made
amid display of fireworks. The crew ar
rived from their quarters at 1890, and were
escorted in the procession on the shoulders
of students and received a perfect ovation
along the line to the Crocker House. The
celebration of the victory is the noisiest
ever held here over the college races.

The Colbys met the Bates at Lewiston
Saturday and defeated them by score Of IA
to A. This puts Colby even with Bates in
the closest contest that has ever been known
in the history of Maine college athletics.
The playing throughout has been remark
able for steadiness and brilliancy. Some OF
the games, like the 1 to game between
Colby and Bowdoin, and the 2 to game
between Colby and Maine State, have been
among the best ever played in the State.
Two weeks ago the prospects of the Bates
team were most flatte=ing, and few were
willing to assign the Colbys TR9re <--g

games, one from each Of their competitors,
the latter now find themselves at the top of
the list with the Bates. The schedule games
