NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June 29.-
George l.. Rlyes, the New York gentle
man who is we'll and favorably known
IN rowing matters, and who has been
identified with Columbia and Cambridge
England crews. will. be the referee of
tomorrow's varsity race. Mr.. Rives
has acted in similar capacity in
number of races here. In the race to-
morrow Yale is to have the west course
and Harvard the east. The crews are
doing little work on the river today and
none at all, apparently, Oh land, the
Idea apparently being to give the men
an opportunity to gather full strength
for the grand effort tomorrow morning.
Both crews were out on the Themes
very early this morning and pulled for
while and then returned to quarters.
Every train entering the city today
brings load of adherents of each party
Of giants up stream. By tonight hotel
quarters and perhaps standing room
will be at big premium, and the late
conner will find himself in sore straits
for the conveniences and necessary
comforts of life.
Yale the FaVOrite.
The result of last nights "cocked
hat" race had marked effect upon the
sentiment in the betting crowd. Yes
terday bets were made in certain quar-
ters on terms which would indicate
that the crews had equal chances in the
struggle. Today the sporting crowd
offers to that Yale will reach the
finish line at the big bridge with lead
certainly not less than last years.
Still, the Harvard people are not with
out those who believe in their
prowess, and in the newspaper col
ony here the crimson eight seem
to be strong favorites. 1t is
said this afternoon that the Cambridge
crew when out on the river last night
rolled up two miles at something de-
cidedly better than 20:40 rate. The
United States revenue cutter Dexter
arrived in port this morning, and at
once set about clearing the course for
FRIDAYS event. When she has COM
pleted this work the stretch from Gales
ferry to the nnish at the cantilever will
be without obstacle. Capts. Vail, of
Harvard. and Ives, of Yale, admit that
the crews will row as follows in the
race tomorrow:

1t will be seen that Yale has fallen
exactly in line duplicating Harvard S
policy of moving all the beefy men
possible to the bow. Harvard adopted
this plan early in the season, but Yale
followed suit only when Paine, who had
rowed Oh the crew two years. was dis
placed by Rogers and the Yale boat re :
lieyed of 2S pounds. The crews are
