This last mile had been talked about and

the finish Cornell did not have to squirt
stu keeping her easy, graceful swing. with
the stroke way down to thirty-two her
shell was shooting to the heave and swing
OF the eight backs as IL the race was in
the first half mile
A shout went up from the Yale Iegions:
Here comes their squirt; see them pick 1t
up: put UP your stroke, Langford, you've
got to beat them
Langford, whose rowing had been superb
throughout, one of the finest strokes that
ever sat in Yale shell, responded TO the
order of Captain Bailey, and Yale in the
last ditch. showed the pluck which has
made her name synonymous with des-
perate finishes and reputation for never
giving In until the last stroke of A boat
race or the last minute of foot hall game
The stroke went up from "a to &C. and the
Shell crept half a length nearer TO Cornell
and victory But the leaders, keeping their
stroke down 10 81, had so much rover I'm
reserve and knew so exactly what they
could do that they did not meet this death
struggle Of Yale except by pulling harder.
The Finish.
After Yale had made this gain she hung
Cnalterably two lengths and half in the
rear, and thus the finish line was crossed
and the race was won. While a hundred
steam whistles were screeching in a hair
raising chorus, and the thunder of cannon
was like that of an attacking fleet the
Harvard crew came staggering blindly
down the lane, shrouded with smoke and
torn with the tumult. The crimson eight
was dead, rowed to a standstill, and ex-
hausted long before they came thus far
Seven lengths behind Cornell the poor
lads came toward their stake beat md

But courage has its limitations when wind
and muscle have failed, and before Har-
ward had passed the flag, Boardman, the
stroke. and Marvin. the bow oar, fell over
like dead men. and the Cambridge shell,
trailing its oars like the wings of a wound
ed bird, drifted wearily past and slowly
came to a standstill.
The Defeated.
The Harvard men were taken up to their
quarters and had supper about z O'Clock
1t was a gloomy meeting when Mr.. Leh-
mann Joined them, and seldom has there
been SO broken hearted and crushed a set
OF athletes over the result Of a university
race.
Mr.. Lehman made a little speech, in
which he told the men shat he was thor
oughly satisfied with the way they had
worked, and with their loyalty to their
university and to him. OF the race, ne
said only that he had believed the crew
had the sufhcient physical endurance TO
stand the pace. but in this results showed
that he had been mistaken.
Yale went up the river at once and as
soon as possible caught a train for New
Haven, leaving at $50. Mr.. Cook and sew

and disappointing enshrouded the band OF
heroes.

THE JUDGES DECISION.

Following is the full text OF Judge
HanclSels decision:
This is Il petition for u writ Of man
damus brought by Louis !. Peters to
compel the School Board OF the city OF
Norfolk to rc-admit her daughter to
one Of the public schools Of Norfolk for
white children.
The basis of her claim Is that her
child possesses all OF the legal qualiiica-
tons requisite for admission to such
school, but. she alleges, that in spite of
this fact. the Superintendent Of Schools
dismissed her child as u pupil, and refus-
es to rc-adnit her on the sole ground
that she had been formerly sent by
her mother to the Norfolk Mission Col
leEe, q colored school in the city OF Nor
folk. and that the School Board sustain
ed this action of the Superintendent
upon an appeal taken by her to that
body.
The Board appears and deinurs to
her petition, contending that it is vested
with full discretionary powers in the
premises.
The question Of the powers or the
School Board is thus sQuarely raised
as counsel for the petition cannot. and
does not. contend that the discretion
of the Board can be controlled by the ac-
tiOn OF this court
