especially between the Sophomores and
freshmen who We'd with each other in
making noise. Now and then the Juniors
and Seniors would spring their ''yells''
in ordeEsto add to sthe excitement, and
the spectators who were unused to col
lege: demonstration were much amused.
The G6 crew was the first to appear
and the Freshman class which was gath
cred together sent up their yell which is
as follows:
Boom m-ara Boom-a-ra Boom-a-ra -Bowdoin Nine
ty Six.
Ninety-six, Ninety-six- Boom-a-ra-rix,
Boom-a-ra- -Bowdoin-N Ninety-Six.
When the '95 crew appeared the Soph-
mores cheered in their usual lusty fash
ion:
'95 rah-rah, '95-rah-rah,
B0wdoinS '95-rah-rah-rah
Hoorahi Hoorah!
Bowdon-' 95-rah-rah-rah.
The crews lined up at 10. O4. but one of
the outriggers of the 95 boat broke and
both crews were obliged to put back to
the boat house while the boat was re-
paired. After about an hour of delay
both crews again set out for the starting
place.
At11.04, e. II. Carleton, the starter.
fired the pistol and eight oars struck wat
er. Neither crew seemed to gain any
decided advantage for about half the
course. although '96 was slightly in the
lead when suddenly one of the shoes in
the '96 shell broke and the whole crew
was unceremoniously thrown into the
river.
This of course, gave the race to the
Sophmores who finished the course in 7
minutes, % IA seconds; course one
mile and one-fourth.
The Freshmen were slightly in the
lead when the accident occurred, 4 but it
is very doubtful as to who would have
won had no accident taken place. The
crews seemed very evenly matched, '05
possibly having slight advantage
The crews were as follows:

Other Sports of the Day.
At promptly 2 p. m. the field and
track events were started. A good at
tendance was present and, as usual, all
the students were banded together in
their respective classes and occasionally
enlivened matters by cheering.
The class of '95, who had won the boat
race in the morning was especially con.
spicuous. 1t has certainly been great
day for '95.
The programme consisted of twelve
pages modelled after the programmes
used at the intercollegiate races, and the
system Of point scoring was adopted.
There were 10 events, first place counting
5, second 3, third 1, and the class scoring
the most points was awarded the honors
Of the day, the highest number of possi-
BILE points being 1875.
