aCoxswain Mason of the high school
boat, stopped his men working when
the judges flag fell, and the Worces-
ter crew did not go across the line
while the judges, DIR. M. P. Higgins
for Worcester and L. G. Brooks FOR
Harvard, remained on the line.
3 The freshmen were given big ova-
ton by the boats about the line and
by Harvard men on the referees boat,
who forgot for the time that it was
not a boat chartered by the freshman
crew.
When the crews finished rowing, the
Harvard men were in good shape, but
some of the high school boys appeared
in difficulties This was especially true
Of Capt. Daily. who had rowed one of
the gamiest races ever rowed on the
lake. He had, in fact, overworked hlm-
self, with the result that when he called
for a final squirt at the F'rohsinn club
house stream of blood gushed from his
mouth After the race he bled freely
from the stomach and it was feared for
a time that he had ruptured his stom-
acn. He was tenderly cared for by
Wachusett club men and left for home
about o'clock. feeling better but very
weak Most of the other men were
played out, but will feel all right in a
few days.
capt. DAILY had no excuse " ollel AoI
the defeat, and frankly acknowledged
that the freshmen were a much super
Tor crew. Coach Ten Eyck said the boys
were beaten by superior weight and
strength, and he had no fault to lind
with the outcome of the race.
The Harvard freshmen were jubilant
and freely acknowledged that the race
was a much easier victory than they
had anticipated They could have bet
tered the time but there was no need
to exert themselves, as it was plain the
high school boys were rowed out.
The crew went to the Quinsigamond
boat house where they had supper and
left for Cambridge on an evening train
The boat was stripped Of riggers as
soon es it reached the house and inn
nnediately sent to Union station, where
1t was loaded on the special car and ac-
companied the crew to Cambridge.
Before the boys left they were con-
graduated on their fine exhibition
Dave Campbell and Goodell, former
Academy students, receiving the larg-
est share of attention. The crew was
happy and felt their victory is only a
fore-runner of the result Of the race
with Yale freshmen.

The Worcesters passed through this
city yesterday on their way to Provi-
dence from Rochester. Manager Leon
ard has signed a new fielder, John O.
Welsh of Fort Wayne, who will play
his first game at the oval tomorrow.

trick behind the bat Welsh is a left
handed hitter.
The Worcesters play today at Cres-
cent park against the Providence team,
and will return to Worcester this eve
ming.
There will be a game at the oval
Monday between the Worcesters and
the Grays of Providence. The same
teams will play at the oval in the
morning Of Memorial day, and will go
to Providence for the afternoon game.
Harrington will probably lay Off at
his home in Fall River. His right hand
is split between the ring and little
fingers, and the hurt will prevent him
from playing for several days.
The team ran against hard luck
everywhere. Going to Toronto, they
were placed on an overloaded steamer
which had to run ashore because it
sprung a leak. After playing their sec
ond game at Montreal cab in which
five of the men rode, overturned. The
horse was killed. Horton was bruised
and Viau sprained a thumb.
At Ogdensburg Lampe was thrown
from the rear step of a barge and Sc
verely shaken. At Rochester Harring-

particularly in Montreal and Roches-
ter.

AS SEEN FROM THE SHORE.
Vivid Picture of the Thousands Scattered
About the Shores.

From every vantage point ashore and
from every available sort Of craft
ahoat, a crowd Of 10000 witnessed the
race.
1t was distinctly holiday parade
The lake was in gala attire. Two hours
before the start of the race the crowd
began to assemble, a few stragglers at
first, until at 5 o'clock, half hour pc
fore the word was given, continuous
stream Of humanity poured from an
sides TO gain some favorite point OF
view.
The water was alive with canoes and
rowboats. The big war canoe OF the
Tatassit Canoe Club was early aiioat
and armed to the limit. The steamer
Venus crowded to her capacity left
her wharf at Lincoln park and slowly
edged her way through the narrow
break in the causeway, followed py the
Tatassis with a crew of high school
adherents aboard.
with abundant sereeching of whistles
the steamers warned the smaller craft
and slowly made their way up the
course. toward the Lincoln street
bridge. Scores of canoes glided hither
and thither in search Of some shelter
from the wind that swept everything
afioat up the lake and away from the
finish.
The royal blue of the high school
was everywhere on the water. Ban
ners. and pennants Of blue fioated from
how and stern of a half hundred ca
noes. or were waved by fair hands of
schoolgirl partisans. Scores of flags
with sFW. II. S." emblazoned in white
on a triangle Of blue fiuttered in the
hands Of hundreds Of confident scho-
lastic misses.
Ashore, the crowd was big and al
ways increasing, until long line Of
electric cars poured in hundreds that
came from the Holy Cross game
At the appointed hour for the start,
the causeway was crowded to its ca
pacitv with a dusty, struggling, good
natured crowd. Along the lake drive.
the boulevard was lined with teams
and carriages. Bicycles formed a
Gordon along the fence.
The great Mecca Of the crowd ashore
was Regatta Point. The point COM
mands the finest view of the course to
be had, from start to finish, and front
seat on the grass was a boon worthy
a premium Every available inch Of
ground was crowded.
When the Apollo drew up at the Wa
chusett pier to take aboard the officials
of the race, the crowd was expectant
for the race was in preparation. Later,
when the high school crew put their
shell in the water, a shout of encour-
agement went up from Regatta Point,
and was echoed by the crowd along the
shore With steady swinging stroke,
the Harvard crew swept past the point
toward the start. The crowd COM
mented. Girls who did not know a
coxswain from a rudder. nor stroke
from bow, knew a GOOD looking lot OF
sturdy fellows when they glided past.
Quarter Of an hour later when the
referees boat headed up the lake the
crowd moved with expectancy. The
suspense was hard to bear but every
body was out for fun.
There was little money in sight. A
few bets were placed at even money.
