ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS,
NEW LONDON, CT, July 1.-The triangu-
lar two-mile race between the freshman
crews of Yale, Harvard and Columbia was
rowed this morning and was won by Yale,
with Columbia second and Harvard last
The race was set for 1920 this morning,
but the start was not made Tor nearly
two hours. AT 1920 the conditions were
favorable for the race as far as wind and
water were concerned. The course was
smooth and there was very little wind.
Rain was falling hard, but this did not
interfere with the oarsmen. 1t was near
ly 12 o'clock before the crews rowed down
the river for the starting point. 1t was
still raining, and the downpour continued
until the race was over.
At 1910 the word was given and the
crews were off In good style. Yale took
the lead at the start, and when quarter
Of mile had been rowed the blue was
nearly length ahead OF Harvard and
Columbia, who were nearly together
lead to three lengths. Here the Yale
boys made splendid spurt and drew
still further ahead OF Harvard and Col
umbia. At this point the race was con.
ceded to Yale.
Il was nip and tuck between Harvard
and Columbia. Both spurted at the flag
made desperate effort to overtake them
but failed.
Yale grazed the line six lengths ahead
of the Columbia crew which was good
length ahead of Harvard. The time,
unofficial, was as follows:
Yale, 10:45; Columbia, 1l:10, and Har-
ward, 1l:l2.
The steamers Block Island and Man
hansett took n large number or passeng-
ers down TO the starting point. The press
arrangements today were better than
heret ofore.
1l:30-The race was rowed up stream.
Harvard had the middle, Yale the west
side and Columbia the east side.

hiu ship

onds away. loomed up the shadow of a
big ship.
Down in the engine room every man
had been directed to stand by and the
order to reverse met with instant re-
sponse. But il was 90 late. The doomed
bark tried TO sheer off.
The first officer, quick to act, saw that
he must cut her down rather than be cut
down, and, turning bow on, the Trave
caught deliberately the wooden side OF
the sailing vessel about three quarters
back from her bow and cut her diagonally
through and through, leaving the bow
and two forward masts to float away on
the left side and a smaller section of the
stern to drift past on the right side, with
shrieking men clinging fast to each piece
of the divided wreck.
As soon as the ship was split in two the
ballast rolled out. and so pieces OF the
wreck kept afoat instead OF plumping
down to the bottom with the ballast.
BY the time the speed was checked the
wreck was asteru more than two miles,
and the cries of the wrecked sailors were
stilled.
The work of rescue took nearly three
hours, and by the time the boats returned
with their living freight everybody was
on deck to welcome them. There was u
sorry-looking lot Of humanity--half
naked, with no shoes and but few
clothes, and shivering.

The Rescuers Were Driven hack by

The cavinR in of the bank at the new
railroad bridge on Broad street near
Roger Williams Park caused the death Of
four Of the Italian workmen and nearly
resulted fatally for two others late yes
terday afternoon.
Four men. James Sullivan. Leroy
Libby, Peter Grande and Pasquale
d'Iorio, were standing at the foot of the
bank and were engaged in fit
ting huge blocks Of stone into the partial
ly completed wall when. without mo-
ment's warning. the bank behind, tower
ing about forty feet in the air, collapsed,
and mass Of stone ana gravel instantly
buried the four men from sight
Foreman Willis and a workman named
Isaac Potrai were burien in the sand and
gravel to their waists.
Willis signalled the engineer to raise
the stone, and in a moment the block
slowly but surely left it's bed, dragging
stone, from the grasp OF the sand and
earth.
As soon as they were liberated, they
headed gang and with shovels began to
dig their companions out. But few
seconds had elapsed before the first one
was found, and as his face was uncovered,
he blew the dirt from his mouth aud
begged to be released from his uncom-
Portable position.
AT this moment l0-inch water pipe
burst immediately over his head and in
an instant the man was covered with
several inches of water. The bursting OF
the pipe drove the rescurers from the hole
and it was not until more than an hour
that the water aud dirt had been taken
