YALE AGAIN THE WINNER
THE CRIMSON AGAIN LOWERS HER
 COLORS TO THE BLUE.

l Wins the Day-Incidents of the Brilliant
 scene-The Return of the Victors to This City-Treadway for Captain Next Year.
 New London, June 2S,-Yale again de- feated her old rival Harvard on the Thames this afternoon, making Yale's fourth successive victory on the water
 over the crimson since 1891 New Lon don was thronged with visitors from New York, Boston, aud all over New
 England The early afternoon trains drought in hundreds of visitors in ad-
 dition to those who were already .n town for the triangular race yesterday.
 The regular trains were crowded with tremendous cargo of passengers for the
 race. All the extra trains were crowd ed, extra cars being added to each train. The Yale and Harvard ruoters were enthusiastic and demonstrative,
 the Yale contingent displaying much
 more hope and confidence than the sup
 porters of the crimson.
 The streets of the city were crowded
 from the Crocker house to the depot
 with a gay throng made up of repre-
 sentatives of many colleges. The dark
 blue of old Yale and the crimson of
 fair Harvard were everywhere in evil
 dence-flags, badges, pins buttons, dyed
 chrysanthemums and all sorts of de-
 vices.
 Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.. Yale e5,
 and Fred L. Polk, Yale 9i, grandson
 of ex-President Polk, arrived In the
 oov "a
 ashore about l o'clock
 When the big crowd of Yale men
 arrived from New Haven on the 1:SO express train, the betting grew lively.
 Yale men had to give great odds, how ever, and the last bets made were that
 Yale would beat Harvard by fifteen seconds. Yale had the advantage of the course on the west, right of way being awarded to her.
 About a quarter of four the Harvard train arrived, filled with the wearers of the crimson. Soon after the Block Island came down from Norwich, and l the Richard Peck and the Margaret from New Haven. The Peck had 1,600 l on board. A large number of gaily 1 decorated yachts also moved from their 1 anchorage about this time. The water I which had been somewhat rough, be- ! came much smoother as the wind died l out The Yale launch steamed down | and back over the course, v-arning { boats not to block the course.
 The betting at the Crocker house was much in Yale's favor. One bet was ] said to be $10,O0O to S3O0O on Yale, At l 4:10 the observation train of thirty cars, and which was heavily loaded, left for the starting point, and at the same time the steamer Manhansett, which was the press boat left for the same point. The I boat reached the starting point [ at 4:30 o'clock. The wind still held good from the north, giving promise Of fast | time
 It was exactly 4:s5 o'clock when the crew came out of their house at Red Top. The Manhansett was d. rectly opposite at the time, and the contingent. which was on board, gave their crew several hearty 1 cheers. At this time the Yale boat was seen as faint line coming down from their quarters up at the little hamlet of Gales Ferry.
 The crews got into position at 4:40 and were ready for the word at 4:42. At | AZ 39 the word was given and they were off. Yale immediately took the cad, which she held easily throughout -he race, When the one mile flag was passed Yale led by an open length The official time for Yale for the first nile was five minutes and four seconds; Or Harvard five minutes and twenty seconds. On the beginning of the sec md mile both crews were rowing in good form, with Yale still in the lead, I having increased it by i've seconds. | The official time for the second mile vas for Yale ten minutes and twenty me seconds; for Harvard ten minutes nd thirty-nine seconds. The excursion ! ,oats began to crowd the course around he finish
 At the third mile Yale had increased Ter lead and was at least seven lengths head her rival. Harvard was called on or a spurt but responded rather feebly | , )ff1clal time for three mi os Yale 15:j9; Harvard 16:21.
 As the two boats shot down by the achts and steamers collected on each , ide the course for the last mile the lowlng of whistles and discharge of f uns was deafening It was evidently 1 ! 'ale's race at the three and three , uarters mile flag and she won by ten r engths easily, crossing the finish line al I :04:95. Harvard crossed the line at r IS. Official time four miles: Yale z 80; Harvard 22:05. z
 Yale's stroke throughout was thirty c hree; Harvard's was unsteady, vary C lg from thirty-two to thirty-six. e Harvards steering was pitiable and esulted in narrow escape from one V ollision with a steamer and another f luare crash with a rowboat. Rough c 'ater on the third mile prevented an t pproach to record time. n A rowboat fouled Harvard after they f 'ossed the finish. \ Harvard was obliged to cross the O purse twice and to steer clear of sev- e al clumps of treacherous eel grass.
