HARVARD WINS OVER YALE
After Eight Years OF Defeat, the Cam
bridge Boys Win Ali Along
the Line.

New London, Conn, 5Gne 80 Hair
ward won all of the boat races yester-
day-three victories over Yale in three
hours-and the western sky glowed
crimson when the Harvard varsity
crew pulled over the finish line six and
half lengths ahead af Yale. After
eight years of defeat. the students of
Cambridge are tasting the sweets of
success.
Harvard's university eight won from
Yale over four-mile course by six
and haiw lengths, in 8 minutes, SaK
seconds.
Harvard's freshmen eight wen from
Yale over a two-mile course by two
and a half lengths, in minutes. 33h

Haryard's substitute four woI. from
Yale over a two-mile course, by six
lengths, in 10 minutes and 81 seconds.
The Harvard crews rowed a modifi-
cation of the English stroke, coupled
with some features of the stroke pulled
ny Wisconsin, and Coach McCounville
If Wisconsin, who saw the race, said:
IF Harvard's crew in to-day's form
lad been at Poughkeepsie, l am afraid
they would have given US all hustle
ion first place"
Yale has greatly modified the Cook
stroke, and the boat did not go yes
terday as it did when the famous
coach was there.
The races were roWed in almost
deal water and wind and clear skies
The course was badly policed, boat=
getting into the lane, and steamers
kicking up swells after the race had
ftarted.
Harvard, in the varsity race, very
Ieariy collided with a number of small
1oats At the finish, and a heavy swell
mpeded Yale.
The varsity race was prettily rowed,
DuI the defeat was crushing. Yale.
1owever, rowed gamely to the finish,
and neither crew showed signs Of dis
lreSS.
The contest between the substitutes
constituting the varsity tours was,
ike the varsity eight. procession,
with Harvard six full lengths ahead at
The finish. The freshman effort was a
mighty and splendid one up to the
last eighth of mile, when Harvard's
superior staying powers, coupled with
an unfortunate obstruction of the
course of the Yale youngsters by a
large steamer, worked for Harvard
advantage, and sent the 1902 men OF
Harvard across the line two lengths
ahead of Yale.
Both of these races were postponed
from the forenoon and were rcxy0d
about half an hour after they had been
scheduled for the afternoon. There
was little or no betting.

That's the place. He has a neighbor on

Blanks back yard, tramping the lawn to
pieces, breaking the shrubbery and using
the side of the house, in lieu of straw
stack, to rub against. No fencethat would
not deface the property would keep her out,
and Blank decided that something must be
done. He could not bear the idea of a
neighborhood row, so he went to the owner
of the COW, told him that she had become an
intolerable nuisance and that he would glad
ly give $40 to have her disposed of. The Of
fer was promptly accepted, and the money
paid. morning or two later the COW was
in the yard again, destroying things just as
of old. Blank hunted up his neighbor and
said: 1 thought you promised me to get rid

As matter of fact, don't suppose that

rich people have left fortunes to men who

consistent civihty.

chance of that involved in it, i should say
that the exercise of civility would pay for

not get anything in dollars and cents out of
civiiity extended in this way toward people

A FRIEND OF AMERICANS.
Horace L. Higgins, of Manila, and
His Kindly Services for
Our Soldiers.

Dispatches from the Philippines
since the opening of the war With
Aguinaldo's followers have frequently
mentioned the name of Horace L. Hig-
gins, and always in connection with
some act of friendship toward the
American forces or individual Amer
leans who have got into trouble. Mr..
Higgins is respected and even loved
by the natives, and he has saved the
lives of several Americans. The story
of how he rescued an American pho
tographer whom the rebels had COR
nered in a box car is well known. Mr..
Higgins, who happened along, de-
clared the prisoner, whom he had never
seen before, was a personal friend of
his and guest at his house, with the
result that the American was allowed
to go.
Mr.. Higgins is the Snowman of the
Philippines. He, more than any other
one man, has been instrumental in ex-
plotting the wealth and agricultural
possibilities of Luzon. He is director
general of the only railroad in the is
land. From its inception ~ years ago
he has contributed his experience and
rare understanding of native character
toward the establishment of COM
mercial relations with the Filipinos.
Nearly every week during that period
Mr.. Higgins has made at least one trip
into the interior, and by friendly in
tercourse has been able to assist the
natives to a better understanding of
foreign character and methods OF do
ing business. The Filipinos have I'M
limited confidence in him, and during
half a dozen revolutions did not modest
his tracks nor do any considerable
damage. They turned out. whole vii
lagos at time, to replace the deyasta-
ton wrought by Spanish troops.
Mr. Higgins has been the soul of gen.
crosby and hospitality to Americans.
Many OF our generals, naval captains
and newspaper men have been guests
on trips over the line in his private
car. 1t is two-days' journey, and an
experience as novel as it is instructive.
Mr.. Higgins has shown his faith in
native character by employing Fill
ipi LOS in every department of his rail
road. His home is at Caloocan, and
there his charming wife, grandniece of
the late king of Spain, and his two
pretty children have lived during the
insurrection. A number of bullet holes
in his residence testify to skirmishes
between the Spanish and insurgent
troops. Mr.. Higgins is native of
Bedfordshire, England, born in 1864
