eastern course and Yale had the western
lane.
After the four -oared boats were in posi-
tion Referee Meikleham made It a matter Of
second sending them off. Harvard caught
II" ater first and jumped to lead which
". ever wrested from 1t. Yale splashed
at t-e first stroke and rowed far easier than
Harvard. Before half mile had been rowed 1t
was evident that Harvards four substitutes
could furnish to the crimson eight in case
of accident to the regular men far better ma
terial than the second men who would sup
plement Yale's varsity.
At the half-mile the crimson had estab-
qished lead of two lengths. THE crew was
pulling smoothly, while Yales shell was
notceably jerky between strokes. Shortly
after passing the first half-mile Harvard
spurted and added another length to its
lead. This drive developed the first un-
steadiness in the Harvard boat, an awkward
break appearing in evidence at the bow oar.
Yale, however, continued to splash and it
was unable to take advantage Of the Har-
ward irregularity quarter Of a mile suf-
feed for Harvard to recover its form and the
crimson boys resumed their Yale annihlat-
ing pace. Two more lengths came Harvard s
way in short order.

about him, however, and with great skill
worked his way back into line and down
toward the judges boat Here was witnessed
wretched policing, many small boats hover
ing about the course. 1t lost Harvard a
fraction of a length, perhaps, but Yale,
struggling along gamely, had a similar ex-
perience and the disadvantages we're even.
Harvard crossed the finish line in whirl-
wind, rowing beautifully, six and a half
lengths to the good Yale finished in fairly
good shape, but its men were somewhat de-
pressed. In terms Of minutes Harvard had
won its grand race In 20521a, while Yale
crossed the line in 21:13. The Associated

Eli's Sons Try Hard.

When the battle was half finished Yale
made It's most desperate effort with lively
squirt. Harvard, however. was ready and
apparently eager and met Yale's effort with
another. There was temporary muscle and
skill in the Yale four fortunately, and the
boys in blue succeeded In cutting down the
lead of their rivals nearly length.
At the mile. therefore, Harvard was ahead
by four lengths. Instead of continuing
their work. however. the Yale men began to
indulge in yagaries and the boat was for
some minutes sadly off an even keel. The
last mile was a repetition of the first, Har-
ward gaining steadily until at the mile and
a half 1t had nearly six lengths to the good.
Harvard grew stronger and spurted with
vehemence. Yale tried to meet 1t, but its
efforts were futile and a few minutes later
Harvard had crossed the line winner by
six lengths and a fraction. in 10 minutes 81

Forestry in an Eastern CITY.

From the New York Post. In the
application Of scientific forestry with
IN city limits, Springfield, Mass. oc-
cupies an advanced position. The city
employs a forester, who has ideas and
the tact to secure their adoption, At
his prompting it is held by the city
oflclals that the law which forbids the
mutilation of trees applies to the
roots as much as to any other portion
Of the tree, and they have so notified
all builders, excayators and contract
ors in the city. Employees of the board
Of public works are instructed to have
a care about slashing into the roots of
trees which may be a little in their
way, when they are setting curbs or
laying sidewalks. Another move on
the part Of the city forester is the rec
concentration that street shade trees
hereafter be set out along the outer
edge of the abutters' lawns, instead of,
as formerly between the sidewalk
and the gutter. A further recon-
mendation in this connection is that
the trees shall not be planted exactly
opposite one another on both sides Of
the street, but be placed alternately.
BY laying out the tree planting space
along the front Of lawns, the gains are
many over the old plan The trees
are out of the reach of horses; the
roots are not likely to be cut when
laying curbs and walks; the sidewalk
drains freely into the street in wet
weather instead of holding the water;
the street appears wider, and front
verandas are better screened from
passers-by. This plan is urged upon
persons cutting new streets.

CHAMBER UNEARrHED IN YucArAN

vania, who has done brilliant work in
deciphering Maya inscriptions, and
DR.. William H. Holmes, curator of the
department of anthropology, in the
Field Columbian museum. Prof. Put
nam of the American Museum of Nat
ural History. is now arranging in the
new wing of the museum what is
the best collection of reproductions of
Maya architecture, carvings and in
scriptions in the world. Here, with
Prof. Putnam's collection about him,
the student will be able to work with
much less difficulty than among the
originals in Yucatan, where the speci-
mems he would examine are separated
by hundreds of miles of tropical for
est.
Dr. Holmes, who has been to Yucca
tan recently, gives a good general de-
scription of the country and of the
Mayas of today. He says: I'VE are
told by the early Greek historians
that broad continent known as
Atlantis once spread out over what is
now the middle Atlantic ocean; that
this land was inhabited by a vigorous
and cultured race Of people who car
ried their arms eastward to the far
thest limits CT the Mediterranean, and
that the Greek gods, righteously an
gered by these Entertainments, retail
ated by sending Atlantis to the bot
tom of the sea. 1t has been favorite
theory with many students that the
A-.>Fican races came from this source,
riiing fherefrom the germs of that
strange culture now represented by SO
iaanv ruined cities.
Whatever may be the truth as to
the disappearance of one continent, 1t
is a curious fact that another land has
risen from a watery bed. We are able
clearly to show by the aid of geology
that large block Of terra frma nov
known as Yucatan is a newborn realm.
The massive beds of limestone of which
the peninsula is formed contain and
are largely made up Of the marine
forms Of life now 1ourishing along
the shores. Fossil shells obtained
from the rocks in various parts of the
country are Gil Of living specimens,
