NEW LONDON, Conn, June 2s.-
Score another bull'seye for the ceruiian
colors of good old New Haven. Her
freshmen to-day won the two-mile race
on the Thames. and that added another
feather to the cap of the boys who at
all times own New Haven.
Old ELS octet of Freshies were not
obliged to do much hustling either to
win this forenoon's race.
The russell backed lad from the city
Of Elms had the race In the palms OF
.ANeir hands. They actually toyed with
',,S\. boys from the East and from CO.
fGmbIa and really taught those lads an
excellent lesson in workmanship.
Poor Harvard Of 81 wasn't even a
peacemaker. Capt. sprague, Of the Grim
ron crew. felt that he hadn't chance
on earth to finish winner, and he and
his seven companions in the cedar boat
contented themselves with playing tag
with Columbia and Yale. And the worst
OF 1t all was for poor Harvard that she
was an uncommonly bad SIT" at that
The start was quite late. Eleven
o'clock was the stipulated time. but 1t
wasn't until 11.32 that Referee Cowles
shouted go" from the deck of the
Heloetia, the boat utilized by the Off
cials.
1t was a gorgeous sight, was the
start, one of the prettiest seen in years.
Columbia, with losers desperation,
whiskcd away apparently determined to
win. Capt. Prentice, of the white and
blue, shoted to his men: Sock 1t to
her, boys. We are easy with en-" and
forsooth they did make 1t coloric for
the other two boats.
Columbia came dangerously near win
mag to-day. Had the race been a mile,
or even mile and half the emblem
OF New York College would have ample
cause for floating proudly to-day. But
like q. wise for mile and quarter. but
the brown-skinned boys from New
Haven. babe Columbia good-by when
1t was then that Yale really began to
row. and she drew ahead of Columbia
so swiftly and so easily that almost
everybody on the river said, why, its
70 show that Yale husbanded her
strength, 1t Is only necessary to say that
when the mllc AMI hal. lag was about
minute. Yale had 1t up her sleeve TO
do forty-two strokes. and she certainly
I.d 10 the queens taste. She left CO.
lumbia az if the blue and white crew
was anchored.
And still Harvard was pegging away
IN the mai enort TO gain the 'booby"
prize. There was no crow in tile race
TO dispute the crimson boys claim to
that unanyia ole distinction. Harvard
finished last.
An old "tout" on the steamer Block
Island whispered Harvard Is gailpinS
yet. P'r'haps she'll be in among the
also rams"
Yale won the race by two boat
lengths. This means boat lengths OF
open water between Yale ana Columbia
Harvard was a monkeyist third. ana
when her elsht finished It was ten to
one shot that they wished the race was
for tow boats instead OF shells. Har-
ward cut n ludicrous figure surely.
The official time OF the race Is: Yale,
utes u seconds; Harvard, II minutes Sc
seconds.
