River course was aquatic event. failure being
utterly devoid Of enthusiasm interest. The condi-
tions for good rowing were perfect. The water had
slight ripple and the tide and light breeze favored
the oarsmen. At 6:1S 80 both were ready,
and at the word both started up the river, the re-
verse of the usual course. The Pennsylvania shell
forged half length ahead on the first two strokes,
rowing thlrty-two per minute. Yale started with
thirty-four strokes rowing in beautiful form, every
movement of the eight men being in perfect unison
Pennsylvania's rowing was trihe ragged, and they
began to splash after the first two strokes. Yale
soon drew up on terms. when they dropped the
stroke thirty An effective stroke sent them at once to
the front, and at the half mile flag they had lead
of half length From this point the race was over
and simply became a procession.
At the three-quarter flag Yale showed clear water
and at the mile flag had a lead Of two lengths. At
one and half miles Yale's lead was three lengths,
and they slgnalled to the launch TO slow down. At
the twO-mic flag Yale led by seven lengths. In the
PENNSYLVANIA boat No. l and No. were out of time,
No. D going TO pieces, and No. g was trying to
win the race alone. Between the two-and-a half and
three-mllc flags large sloop yacht stupidity got
squarely across Yales Yale obliged to

Yale increased her stroke to thiry-four, and in the
