more than Il quarter of a minute each
mile faster than Defender. The water
was very rough, but the new boat rode
very easily.

the Defeat Was Crushing-Great
Crowds Witness the Race.

New London, Conn.,, July l.. - Har-

hours-and the western sky glowed
crimson last evening when the Har-

students of Cambridge r tasting the
sweet of success. Harvard's univer-
sity eight won from Yale over q four

in 2O:52. Harvard's freshman eight
won from Yale owe a twO-mile course
by two and a half lengths in nine min
utes 33 10 seconds. Harvard's sub

mile course by six lengths in ten min
utes and ffty-one seconds. The Har-
ward crews .rowed Il magnificent exht-
bition of the English stroke coupled
with some features of the stroke pulled
by Wisconsin and Coach McConville
of Wisconsin, who saw b race, said:
IF Harvard's crew in to-day's form
had been at PougbAeepsie l am afraid
they would have given us oil a hustle
for first place."
Yale has greatly modified the Cook
stroke and the boat did not go to-day
as it. did when the famos coach was
there. The races were rowed in al
most ideal water and wind and clear
skies. The course was badly policed,
boats getting into the lane and steam
ers kicking up swells after the race
had started. Harvard in the varsity
race very nearly collided witha num-
Der of small boats at the finish and a
heavy swell impeded Yale. The var
sity race was prettily rowed, but the
defeat was crushing. Yale, however,
rowed gamely to the finish and neither
crew showed signs of distress. The
contest between, the substitutes con-
shutting the varsity tours was, like
the varsity race, a procession. Har-
ward six full lengths ahead at he fin
ish. The freshmen effort was a mighty
and splendid one up to the last eighth
of q mile when Harvard's superior
staying powers, coupled with an un-
fortunate obstruction of the course of
the Yale youngsters by a large steam
er, worked for Harvard's advantage
and cent the 1902 men of Harvard

rowed about an hour after they had
been scheduled for the afternoon.

Houston, Tex, July 2. - The heavy
rains of the past few days in Texas
have done damage that will amount
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Railway traffic is practically sus-
pended because bridges and tracks are
gone. Every stream in this section of
the state is above high water mark,
and the angry waters have destroyed
thousands of acres of cotton, corn and
cane, besides horses and cattle. At
Silvert the rise was so sudden that
when the water went through the town
several negroes were drowned and five
bodies have been recovered. 1t is ru-
mored that many farmers, white and
colored, living in the Brazos bottoms,
have been drowned, but neither names
nor reliable particulars are yet obtain
able. The Big and Little Brazos riv-
ers have Joined at Navaso, where they
are ordinarily three miles apart, and
the whole country, mostly cotton and
corn land, is ruined. 1t is reliably stat
ed that one family of six persons per-
ished. The loss in cotton and corn
alone will reach a million dollars, while
another million will not cover the loss
to railroads and other property.
/. Austin, Tex, July 2.-As q result Of
heavy rains during the past three days
along the Brazos river bottoms,
through the central portion of the state
and along the valleys Of the Guada-
loupe and Lower Colorado rivers in
the southwestern portion of the state,
fully 1900 miles of rich farming lands
continue under water and many of he
railroads are effectively blocked by
high water and wrecked roads.
The Brazos has been on a boom since
Tuesday morning and has been rising
rapidly all along. Reports received
state that the counties of Hood, Rob-
ertson, Brazos, Washington, Harris
and McLennan are all swept by the
foods. These counties comprise the
very center of the big farming inter-
ests of the state. Several thousand
acres Of land are submerged and crops
are ruined. The valleys of the Guada-
lupe and Lower Colorado rivers are in
the same condition. Reports from ev-
cry section of the state show that the
losses to railways have been enor.

Waco, Tex, July 2.-The Brazos riv-
er reached the highest point yesterday
it has attained in fourteen. years.
Crops in the BraZos bottoms are in
undated from six to fifteen feet and In
most cases are Il total loss. Hundreds
of people have fled, from the valley
and taken refuge in this city. In East
Waco the main street is six feet UNI
der water and the business houses are
inundated and all merchandise Is
ruined. All trains connecting with this
city have been abandoned, the tracks
having been washed away for several
miles. The water now stands six feet
deep in the passenger depot. The river
is slowly falling, but the rain still con
tinues.
