Haryard's stroke was increased to Al,
but Yale kept pegging away at 80 as the
third mile was finished. When the three
mile flag was reached Yale had lead
of five lengths and was gaining steadily.
A stretch of rough water was met here
and both crews splashed considerably,
but, as before, the Yales men soon got
back into good shape. The Harvard boys
were lacking in steadiness and failed to
act together. They held on bravely,
though certain defeat was practically I'M
avoidable. The thousands of spectators
who crowded the rear of the observation
train cheered the crimson, but all to no
purpose. The boats were now in the
vicinity of the excursionist floating craft,
with which the river was crowded,
though the course was left clear.
The Harvard boat at three and quar-
ter miles, swerved little out of its course
toward the eastern side, where the steam
ers Richard Peck and Isabel were lying,
but Coxswain Rust did not seem to fear
any trouble. The Isabel backed out of
the way as the Harvard boat neared her.
The moving of the steamer caused
swell which interfered very materially
with the Harvard shell and a man in
canoe came very close to the college mems
oars while they were pulling through the
churning waters. They were six lengths
behind at the beginning of the last half
mile and showed signs of weakness. The
other men, however, put up their stroke
from this point and rapidly gained. The
Harvard men held on pluckily but they
were outclassed by the Yale men, which,
with each movement of their oars, SEEM
ed to get further ahead, and amid the fir
ing of cannon, blowing of whistles and
cheers of the spectators, which made a
perfect pandemonium, the New Haven
oarsmen passed the winning flag easy
winners by nearly 10 lengths.
Just as the winning crew were crossing
the line, a boat containing man and two !
girls crossed the bow of the Yale shell
and what might have been a serious acct |
dent was averted by a hairs breadth. |
The Yale boys did not slacken their
stroke after the race was won. but con-
tinued at good clip under the big bridge |
each Of the men sitting upright and show
ing no bad effects of their arduous tasks. |
The boat of the Harvard crew showed |
signs of distress and some of them were
seen to weaken as they finished 80 sec
onds later.
The official time for the entire race is
ne follows.

| lengths above it, when they turned close
| in shore and waited for Yale's crew to
pass them. Harvard then came out from
shore and padded down to the staring
Line, where she paused with her stern
held by a man in the Harvard stake boat.
Meanwhile Yale had dropped into her
position on the west side of the course,
Harvard having the eastern place on the
course. The referees boat was lying
alongside of the line. The observation
train with its screaming throngs was al
most above the crews on the banks, the
steamers and tugs careened along down
the line, waiting the start of the shells to
take up their course. The people saw the
backs stiffen and the oar blades dip to
awaiting position: Then came. the word
from Referee G.. II. Rives, which set the
brawny fellows moving.
Promptly at 4.42 the signal was given
and both crews caught the water at the
same moment. Harvard started with a
quicker stroke, but the Yale boat soon
forged ahead, rowing about 40 strokes a
minute, while Harvard was doing, Al.
Jennings, who was substituted for Hol-
lister in the Harvard crew, rowed re-
markably well and the crowd who watch
ed his work from the referees and press
boat, were loud in praise of his rowing
The Yale men, who were on the west side
of the river. rowed evenly and the shell
shot through the water very smoothly
while Harvard sagged between strokes
1t was soon seen that 10. +, in the latter
boat was doing very poorly. He turned
on the catch before the rest of the crew.
When the half mile mark was reached
the Yale boys had a lead of two lengths
and they slowed down to a stroke of 80,
but the WearerS of the crimson still kept
their stroke at 40. The water was smooth
and the conditions were everything that
could be desired for good race. The
body work of the sons of Ely was excel
lent, while that of the Harvard crew be,
came worse and No. was splashing badly
as the first mile was ended.
At the mile, Yale had increased her lead
TO three lengths and the men were rowing
like a machine When they passed the
mile and half mark they had not gained
any more on their adversaries. The wind
changed stiffiy to the south and made the
water a little rough. Both crews sp.ashed
a good deal over the one and half mile
line but the Yale men soon recovered an
even stroke of 81 and the Harvard men
were unable to cut down the three
lengths lead at the two mile mark.
The Yale boat was steered by Cox
swain Clark as straight as an arrow, but
the Harvard coXswain seemed to lose con-
troll of his boat. At the two and a half
mile flag rhe boats course changed and
it made a big turn, losing fully length
before being Strengthened out At this
point it was plainly seen that, barring ac-
cidents, Yale would win in easy fashion,
as she increased her lead constantly
though gradually. The body swing of the
crew continued regular. The Harvard
men seemed to swing out of the boat.
The cheers and footing Of whistles now
began in earnest and the Yale cry was
heard from both sides Of the river,

LEGATION today printed in a conspicuous
place the following:
Inasmuch as many usually well inform

as to whether the bond syndicate has COM
pleted its work or not, whether it is about
to dissolve and leave the treasury gold
reserve-now we'll above the $100,000000
mark-to the tender mercies of the mar

to state that the syndicate has not COM
pleted its undertaking. 1t proposes to
lend all proper support to the treasury in
maintaining $100,000,O00 of gold reserve
until October 1, 1895, in the same way
and manner that it has thus far. There

operators who have remained in doubt
as to the probable future of the market
for securities because of the uncertainty
of the point referred, may replace that
doubt with sense of security. which
this statement must tend to impart
