Weather and Incidents ofthe Morn.
INTERPRETATIONS OF the Crews.


NEW LONDON, Conn, June 26.-The day OF
the great race between Harvard and Yale is
at last here, and better day could not be
desired.
A. o'clock this morning slight shower
fell, but u few hours later everything was
clear and beautiful.
The water at this time Is smooth and there
Is little doubt that the ruce Will be rOwed
promptly at ll.3O, the schedule time.
odds this morning were 800 TO $40 on the
blue. There have been very few Yale men In
town so far, and even now crimson ribbons
are much more common than blue ones.
At 4 this morning the Yale supporters at
the quarters came down the river and walked
up to the CrucEer House.
The little coxswain and couple of the
substitutes were IN the party, but none OF the
crew were in the boat
Al o'clock the Yale launch turned its nose
up river and went back to the quarters up by
the starting point.
None OF the Harvard men came down
town this morning except Coach Adams,
who seemed confident that Harvard would
make good showing, although he prac-
tlcalIy conceded the victory 10 Yale, rs did
hit lnt IluINulu crew.
The crowd In town Is smaller than II has
been for years ON race-day, and the CrOcker
House Office Is not packed with excited col
lege men, as Is usual at this time OF day.
Bets are not being made very plentiIuily,
either
The observation train has backed down Into
the station and is getting ready to go tO the
start up the river.
II Is supposed by the Enowing ones that
when the race starts both crews VIII hit
their stroke up TO ut least forty and keep It
up Just as long as they can.
The outlook Is that for two miles, at any
rate, the race will be- the hottest und the
time the fastest which has ever been seen
and made by Harvard and Yale.
Harvard Is confident OF her ability TO hold
out. IN thing which troubles the crimsun's
supporters is whether the crew will have
speed enough.
II Yale gets a good lead and holds II during
the hTst half Of the race, then Harvard will
not be in II. Harvard win try TO 90 ahead
und stay there.
The Yale crew are all right to-day and in
fine condition. so ara the Harvard oarsman.
capt. Perkins is not IN such good shape as
before his accident, but he thinks he is all
right FOR a solid pull.
Powers Is feeling nnely to-day, and thinks
he can hit up his stroke 20 such point that
the Yale men will feel dizzy.
Harvard has great confidence In her boat.

Lawyer Friend has amused the Recorder
very much by his knowledge Of the police
force. Having learned the residence OF the
| Juror under examination, the lawyer has
named over the Captain, Sergeants and
award men " IN that precinct, asking II the
| juror Is acquainted with them.
To-day the Recorder was tlcEled exceed
| ingly by juror who was under the impress
| sion that murder had been committed, and
knew Detective Gallagher, OF Police Head
quarters-an officer Of whom Lawyer Friend
had never heard.
The Recorder "smiled like basket OF
chips" and when the next Juror said that he
| was born in Vienna, Austria, asked the little
lawyer Il he should inquire as to the jurors
acquaintance with the Vienna police.
The twenty-ninth name out OF the jury
wheel to-day was that OF Samuel $. Rutshy, a
broker at 80 Beaver street and resident at 81
| East Ninety-first street.
| MIR. Rutsky IL an Intelligent citizen and he
was surprised and disappointed when the
| cOntending lawyers ceased pickering and
agreed upon him for the eighth seat In the
| jury box.
Maurice Boom, the tobacconlst ut 1911
| Broadway, opposite the Gllsey House, was aC-
cepted as the ninth Juror.
The prosecution challenged Henry Cohen,
Broadway furrier, and this exhausted the
new panel OF nifty talesmen. The Recorder
directed that all the jurors in Parts l. and
III. OF the court OF General Sessions, not en-
gagged In trying cases. be ordered TO Part IL.
for the remainder OF tina day. Then recess
was taken.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 20.-Harvard
wins by eleven lengths and owns New London.
The blue OF Yale Is at the bottom Of the
Thames, and the crimson OF old Harvard has
gone clear TO the masthead. PROFESSIONS
suit Harvard men all right when President
Eliott's students have the right OF line, as they
had this morning all the way over the four
miles In the varsity race, which has at last
broken the string or Yale victories.
At the word Co." at ll.39 this morning,
Harvard, with the best crew that has pulled
oars on the Thames for years, caught the
water nrst with a determined stroke or about
IS to the minute
II was the cause OF great cheering for the
crimson side OF the course.
The Yale boys did not row a stroke with
the precision OF the Harvard eight.
Their oars splashed and they seemingly got
all twisted up.
At the mile mark Harvard was pulling II
stroke OF ~, while Yale was digging big holes
In the water at 39-IO gait.
Never during the race did the bow Or the
New Haven boat show ahead of the cam
bridge crart.
Foot by foot capt. Perkins, crew pulled
away, and one minute after Referee Melkel-
ham sent the myers away the crimson was
half II length to the mont.
when the wake OF the boats was half u mile
long Harvard had the race by length.
The terrific spnntlng start that II had been
predicted Yale would make had no terIOrs
FOR Harvards boys.
Gould remembered what Bob Cook had told
him, aud pounded the water thirty -nlne times
IA the tirst minute. SO did the other Yale
oarsmen, but the same Thing was going ON IN
the rival boat.
Birdie Powers WAS pairing on the work
Ike the beat OF a town clock at thirty-nine
strokes 10 the minute.
The hali-mlle nag was left behind and the
pace was still hot one.
For moment, right there, Powers eased
on bit to give his men just few
seconds breathing time, and as conse-
qucnce Yale's shell crept up few
feet on Harvard; but IL was only
for an instant, for up went the stroke again to
3s, and the 20 feet OF lost ground was IN
stantly regained.
Yele's squirt was over, but Haryard's was
not.
steadily the blue-streaked shell was drop
ping astern, and Just as steadily the little
coxswain with the crimson hat was drawing
away nom the paper boat.
Clear water rolled between the racers
when two minutes had been ticked on by the
watches.
A mile nom the start Harvard was two
lengths to the good, at another half mile an
other length had been added to the lead.
Past the tWO-mile nag, Perkinss crew shot
into lead OF four good lengths before
Rrcwster's boys.
The procession had been formed with Yale
on the left side.
The rest OF the race was only a repetition
OF the first half. The longer Harvard roWed
the more abe gained.

who was convicted or aiding Gen. Peter J.
Claassen. President OF the sixth National
Bank, IN the embeZzlement OF the funds OF
that institution, was to-day brought up for
sentence before Judge Benedict in the United
States Circuit Court.
Mr.. Simmons was accompanied by his,
counsel. When asked II he had anything TO
say why sentence should not be pronounced.
he merely shook his head negatively.
Judge Benedict said that tho evidence left
no room for doubt as TO the guilt OF the ac-
cused. The Court had taken into considers
tion the recommendation Of the jury for
mercy. Nevertheless the sentence must be
severe.
The Judge then sentenced the accused to
six years imprisonment In the Erie county
Penitentiary.
Half an hour after Judge Benedict had pro-
nounced sentence, counsel for the prisoner
made application for q stay Of proceedings in
