Especial to The Evening WORLDLY

NEW LONDON. Conn, June 2s.-
Score another bull s-eye for the cerulean
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 forenoons race.
The russet-backed lads from the city.
Of Films had the race in the palms OF
their hands. They actually toyed with
the boys from the East and from Co
lumbia, and really taught those lads an
excellent lesson in workmanship.
Poor Harvard Of 81 wasn't even a
pacemaker. Capt. Sprague, Of the Grim
son crew, felt that he hadn't chance
on earth to finish a 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 "it'' at that.
The start was quite late. Eleven
o'clock was the stipulated time, but 1t
wasn't until u.32 that Referee Cowles
shouted Co from the deck of the
Helvetia, the boat utilized by the off,
Gals.
1t was a gorgeous sight, was the
start, one Of the prettiest seen in years,
Columbia, with a losers desperation.
whisked away apparently determined to
win. Capt. Prentice, Of the white and
blue, shouted to his men: Sock 1t to
her, boys. We are easy with 'em," and
forsooth they did make 1t caloric for
the other two boats.
Columbia came dangerously near win
ming to-day. Had the race been a mile.
or even a mile and a half. the emblem
of New York College would have ample
cause for floating proudly to-day. But
Columbia shot her bolt. She held Yale
a..e a wise for a mile and a quarter. but
5tht brown-skinned boys from New
Haven babe Columbia good.by when
{ the mile and half flag was reached.
: 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. it's
10 show that Yale husbanded her
strength, 1t is only necessary to say that
when the mile and half flag was about
reached Yale hit her stroke up to AZ per
minute. Yale had 1t up her sleeve to
do forty-two strokes, and she certainly
did to the Queens taste. She left Co
was anchored.
And still Harvard was pegging away
in the mad effort to gain the BOBBY
prize. There was no crew in the race
to dispute the. crimson boys claim &c
that unenviable distinction. Harvard
finished last.
An old tout" on the steamer Blocl,
Island whispered Harvard is gallopine
yet. P'raps she'll be in among the
also rams"
Yale won the race by two boat
oren water between Yale and Columbia
Harvard was moneyish third, anG
when her eight finished it was n ten tC
for towboats instead of shells. Har
ward cut n ludicrous figure surely.
The official time of the race is: Yale
utes 2l seconds; Harvard, IL minutes 81
