In 50 doing she dropped into bad form,
causing the boat to roll and progress by per
ceptible jerks. For fifty yards Harvard gave
an extremely poor exhibition. Both crews
at this point settled into the stroke which

Cheered by Thousands.
At the first half mile Yale was rowing
half length in the lead, with both crews
exhibiting the finest burst Of speed wit.

bly, at the finish Both crews We're under
the shadow Of the west shore, with 5000
persons in the observation train sending up
volley upon volley Of cheers for the respec-
tive crews. Yale continued its effective
squirt during the second half mile, while
Harvard fell back little by little. When the
Yale shell passed the first mile post it was
three lengths ahead Yale took matters
tIile more easy from the mile to the mile
and a half post, and the gap between the
shells remained little changed Yale was
four lengths ahead at the two mile post,
which marked the conclusion Of half the
race. Yale was pulling a trihe more vigor-
ously.
At this point the Harvard body work
commenced to be uncertain. The eight
backs no longer rose with automatum pre-
cision, but came up with a promiscuous
movement suggestive Of bobbing Yale

mile post Yale had placed fully eight lengths

Yale Finishes First.
At 5:37 p. m. the Yale boat shot by the
finish line with Harvard fifteen OF sixteen
lengths in the rear. The Harvard shell
crossed the line iifty-fve and a half seconds
later Every member Of Yale's crew flu
