dltion to the Thtmbles. l
Well, the great race between Yale and
Atalanta has come and gone and now there
is little doubt felt by anyone whether the
stroke of Bob Cook il superior or not to the
delicsie blade work of the old professional
style. The race was called Saturday at 1866,
and from start to finish Yale had the lead,
which che continually increased, winning by
about eight lengths in the phenomenal time,
20:17. Atalanta's time was 2O:42. The great
feature of the event was Captain Allen, the
Yale's stroke, jumping from the boat at tho
two-mile stake after breaking his oar. Thus
Yale rowed the remainder of the race with
seven men, even increasing her lead by three
lengths Great interest was manifested in
the event, the harbor being crowded with
boats and the docks black with struggling
humanity.
The Atalantas were undoubtedly not a
little taken back at the great work of the
collegians and 1t took them aome time to
realize how 1t was that they bad been So
Overwhelmingly left in the rear. This was
the first defeat that they had ever expert

clear case of superiority. and felt az good
natured az could be expected. Some little
money changed hands in the way OF small
bets. The steamer Long Branch followed
the race with nearly Thousand aboard and
also party from Bridgeport on the steamer
Jessie B. 10 is not unlikely that race be-
tween these clubs may become q permanent
institution.

Yale met with her first defeat this season
Saturday at the hands OF collegians by her
old.time rival, Princeton. The score was
to and one of the most stubbornly con-
tested games ever played. Yale found
Young greater enigma than ever, making
this will necessitate q third, to be played
probably in New York.
In her marksmen Yale was more fortunate,
% her representatives defeated the Princeton
team by the score of 90 to SO.
The conditions were four men to represent
each club, each to shoot at IS block rocks
from three traps at 16 yards rise, National

THE TREsHMEN MUST WAIT.
The nine that '93 sent up to Cambridge
Saturday to do battle with their Harvard
brethren would have been all right but for q
fatal case of rattle In the eighth inning
allowing Harvard to score seven runs. Up
tn this point they had the game we'll In
hand and should have won. The SCORE was
Yale z, Harvard II.
