 New LOndon-A Clear Course.
 NEW LONDON, June 16.-Csptain Robert | J. Cook, Yale's aquatic mentor, arrived in town this morning from New York and will remain here for few days. The Yale | officials had been notified of his anticipated arrival and the launch came down the river at 9:30 to carry the noted oarsman up to the Yale quarters. On board of the launch were Coach "Al" Cowles and Mrs. Cowles, Captain Josh Hartwell of this years University eight, F. St. John Sheffield and George A. Adee, the latter two being well known as enthu- siastic admirers of the Yale oarsman for several years When MT. Cook came down the landing everybody shook him by the hand, while those of the crew in the stern of the launch evidenced their pleasure over his arrival. Mir. Cook is not so stout as he appeared last summer, but still looks rugged and will put in some lively work while here in correcting the faults of Yale's eight that his experienced eye will be sure to detect.
 Congressman Charles A. Russell has handed the memorial, signed by Collector Saxton, the regatta committee and the officials of the Yale and Harvard boat clubs, relating to keeping @ clear course for the college races, to Commissioner O'Brien of the bureau of navigation, and support ed the memorial to the best of his ability. In letter to the collector he says he judges that better arrangements are mak- ing for the races, and that the course is likely to be free from any interference this year.
