THE NINETEENTH RACE.
Record of the Harvard-Ynle Annual
EfGht-Oared Contests.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 2s-The
race this afternoon between the Harvard
and Yale crews will be the nineteenth since
the inauguration. in 1876 Of an annual
eight-oarcd contest, and the thirtieth Of
the entire series in which the blue and the
crimson have struggled for victory. The
first eleven races were rowed in six-oared
boats over a three-mile course. The first
was in 1882 and the three next followed at
Irregular Intervals. After 1854 one was had
for each year. but six-oared boats were
still used. and 1t was not until twelve years
later, in 1875. that the present type Of
eight-oared shells was adopted.
At the same time the course was length
ened to four miles The first two Of the
eight-oared races were rowed at Spring
field, Mass, one falling to Yale and the
other to Harvard. Since then all races
have been held at New London, on The
Thames. OF the eighteen cared contests
between the colleges. Yale has won eleven
ana Harvard seven. The fastest time over
the four-mile course was twenty minutes
and ten seconds. made by Yale in 1883.
The slowest time made by a winner was
twenty-five minutes forty-stx and half
seconds, made by Harvard in 1883. The
average winning time Is about twenty-five
minutes and seventeen seconds. The race
last year was one of the most interesting
in the history of intercollegiate contests.
lHe IVA water together,
and while Yale pulled thirty-six strokes to
the minute. Harvard started of at the kill
ing rate OF forty strokes.
BY this she took the lead. and kept 1t for
mile and quarter Then her men be-
gan TO show the effects OF the strain, and
Yale passed her, still pulling at the same
even rate with which she started Once
behind, the Harvard men, though ia.rly
pulling their hearts out, were unable TO re-
gain the lead, or even to close up again
AT times they would lessen the gap. and
then Yale by some well-timed leg work,
would shoot still further ahead.
The time OF the winner, 250l l-2 sounds
as II 1t were very slow. but this is ex-
planned by the roughness of the water and
the fact that there was a strong head wind
dead ahead. Under good conditions the
time would have been less than twenty-one
minutes. The following table shows the re-
suits Of the series of eight-oared contests
between Harvard and Yale:

The Freshman Aquatic Contest Mt New

NEW LONDON, June 2S-The triangular
freshman two-mile boat race between Yale,
He rvard and Columbia was rowed at IL 30
this morning. and resulted in the triumph
Of Yale; Columbia, second; Harvard, third
lale's time Has. The postponement from
yesterday afternoon until this morning re-
suited In quadrupling the attendance.
From the water boat as broad as she is
long to the finest specimens Of the naval
architects, the Thames river for two miles
up was lined with every conceivable style
OF craft that would float. 1t was a beauti-
ful sight. and as the oarsmen were being
brought down to the starting line in their
launch with their shell towing behind they
were greeted with cheers from aboard the
yachts. Columbia was the first to get into
position, quickly followed by Yale Har-
ward was more Of a laggard and kept the
rest waiting for quite a while. 1t was IL 20
when they finally got into line and lay
waiting for the word
A delay Of some ten minutes occurred
while the referees boat ran up between
them, and more or less discussion took
place.
1t turned out that while it had been
agreed that Yale should have the center
course with Harvard on the west and Co.
in taking position, and the boats were
placed with Harvard in the center, Yale to
The east and Columbia to the west. The
boats carried no flags or distinguishing
colors, and their change of position caused
great confusion to the spectators. nearly
every one believing that Columbia had
won.
Just at 11:3l:3 80 the signal was given
Yale took the water first
The Colum bia oarsmen had climbed up to
and passed Yale by about one-half a length
at the half mile In this manner they rowed
for the next quarter of a mile, when the
voice OF young Clarke, the little coxswain Of
Yale. was noticed to call for a trifie faster
stroke. and by the time the mile flag was
reached Yale and Columbia were having as
pretty race as could have been desired,
Columbia pulling -. Yale SO and Harvard 10
Passing the mile. Columbia was about a
quarter of a length in advance Of Yale. while
the latter was giving her swash to Harvard
fully two lengths in her rear.
AT the mile and half Yale had gained
the supremacy over Columbia, and. with a
SO stroke. had opened up distance OF pos
sibly ten feet.
Yale continued to forge ahead, and at
the finish had opened up the distance be-
tween her rudder and Columbia's bow and
won by two lengths.
AS soon as the boats had passed the
steam launch Emilia, the men were taken
from their shells into launches and taken
UP to their quarters and rubbed down.

A NEW GROUND FOR DIVORCE.
Wants to Quit Matrim0ny Because
His Wife Dleaches Her Hair.

From the Omaha Bee.
Out in San Francisco a sensitive husband
is suing his wife for divorce because she
bleached her hair. In his petition he says:
"Bleached or srti1cially colored hair is
easily distinguished as such and does not
appear natural. nor does it deceive any per-
sen. but 1t is perfectly patent and notice
ably conspicuous. II is regarded by the ma
jority of riGht-thinking persons as an nd!-
cation of loose, dissolute and wan ton dis
position, and is regarded as and commonly
hell Ia be practice never affected by mod
est, pure and respectable women"
The husband claims that he is mortified
and humiliut ted or account of the change in
the color OF his wife's hair. He adds:
she is brunette naturally. Her hair Is
OF chestnut brown color which, in its
normal state, Is modest and becoming and
harmonizes with the natural color of her
skin and eyes. Since We married she has
against my wishes and protest, and with
intent to vex, annoy. exasperate and shame
me, dyed her hair and changed its shade TO
a conspicuous and snowy straw or canary
color. AS consequence Of this artfftcial
coloring, she has been obliged to paint her
face to secure an artificial complexion In
keeping with the artificial color OF her hair.
The combination has given her a giddy, fast
and sporty appearance"

ROARING WELLS.
IL Their Remarkable Action Caused
by Subterranean Tidal FORGET

by Subterranean Tidal FORGET
From the Pittsburs Dispatch.
There is a peculiar district. or rather a
district over a peculiar subterranean for
nation in the Platte river valley. in Ne
braska. involving more particularly the
counties of Colfax, Butler and Polk This
Is the region of the singular roaring wells
whose waters also rise and fall with a
clearly defined tidal action. OF the three
counties mentioned Polk leads. having six
teen or eighteen of the curiosities. There
are hours when the water will gradually
rise. and during this time the wells exhale
such q quantity Of air as to make a strong
current, which is accompanied by a roar
ing sound which can be heard to q con-
siderable distance. After q short interval
Of Quiescence the ebb sets In. the water
slowly falls, and the Inhalation that follows
is as II the air at the mouth Of the well
were in q mad rush 70 follow the receding
tide.
From these facts an impression prevails
In many minds that Nebraska, Kansas and
q portion OF the indian territory rest on an
immense subterranean sea. In support OF
this position, II is alleged that square miles
or land have disappeared In Kansas leay-
ing lakelets Of unIathomable depth instead.
While IL Is true that the other regions men,
toned also occasionally exhibit wells hav-
this TO sustain the view OF an underground
lake or sea. certainly not as We understand
these terms when they are applied to bodies
OK water on the surface. Nor Is IL BY any
means uncommon for portions Of surface to
sink from sight, case Of this kind having
recently occurred during the earthquake In
Venezuela, in South America, and the sunk
country" in the vicinity Of New Madrid, on
the Mississippi river, having disappeared IN
the prolonged seismic disturbance of ISL
II.
While II may not be generally known, 1t
Is, nevertheless, a fact that some of Penn
sylvania's gas wells have exhibited this Pc
culiar tidal tendency: and, while In many
ocean level. 1t does not follow necessarily
that any OF these wells, either Of water or
gas, are In communication with the sea
What would seem far more probable is that
these wells may communicate with areas
that have more or less direct connection
with the mobile interior, and where We may
logically infer there Is also a tidal mani
festation. All the Nebraska roaring wells
extend down to a porous stratum, presum-
ably surface in some former age, and IL IL
probable that the water lying among the
loose material Of former bed 10 in some
way affected by pressure exerted against
recession takes place 1t Is only natural
that there should be a suction inward and
an expulsion when the flow sets in. The
occasional subsistence Of surfaces below
water level can be readily accounted for,
apart from any theory of underground
oceans, which is entirely untenable But
these remarkable wells are worthy OF q
more careful observation than they have
yet received.
