Tew-LOndon, Conn, June 2S-Yale rounded
ont today the full measure OF this ypars athletic
Successes By winning the easiest kind OF victory
over Harvard in the annual boat race between
tie two universities. The freshman match with
University OF lennsylvana apart, Yale has
won about everything in the way Of athletic
honors that could be contested for on land and
water, and the Ncw-Haycn collegians have good
reason to feel, as they do tonight triilc coc<y
They have, in fact, made a rCord only rqualled
by that made in lssJ by Harvard. That was
an exceptional year at Cambridge. But with
Yale, 1857 only ecpScs little the SioricS Of

struggle was over, and thr race became virtually

they made a fairly crclltahlc race, they were
