This was . beautiful afternoon. but
rather hot. The rowing conditions were
ths water than had been allotted them. A
very good comparison was obtained when
Trinity Han raced its second crew against
the first. The first half the second crew
beat the frs, crew by length. In the sec

Large crowds were In attendance. Civ

closely watched by the assembled throngs
during It's practice work. The crew did
the FIRST half Of the course In BIS. rowing
over the entire course I'm "a. the stroke
being given as Is. Several OF the members
were very much exhausted Leauder did
the half course In 3s2s, the whole course
In 7ses Id Leander also rowed with a IS
stroke and the crew was greatly exhaust
ed In consequence. Gold and Nickails es-
pecisily suffering from the heat.
Yale did the first half In SIS. At the
start the rudder rope caught under the
new aluminium fin, which had been fixed
on the boat for the afternoon at an angle
OF ss degrees In the place OF the old wood
en- fin. The new IN was bent to an angle
OF IS degrees before the rope could be
freed This necsssitated keeping the rud-
der hard aport during the afternoon. On
this account the full course was not
rowed. Under these circumstances the
performance OF the Yale men was con-
sidered very good The boys went i'm
mediafeIy after finishing their practice
work and enjoyed tea at Toys during
the balance OF the afternoon. The Yale
men VIII probably do the adjacent coun-
try on bieycfs tomorrow.
AT meeting OF the stewards this after
noon n was decided 10 have the trial heats
on Monday IL the DE Hoop Club does not
come In and II Elton is scratched, both of
which events are among the possibilities.
The grand stand opposite the piers IL
nearly finished. Brightly dressed crowds
are always present during the daytime
watching the crews at them practice.
Bob Cook said he was satisfied with the
work of the men this afternoon inasmuch
as Yale did half the course In practically
the same time "a the others: better, In
fact. II the bent I'm is taken into consid-
