 New London, June 2-The crimson
 glow in the western skyo-night. as the
 Harvard varsity boat ulled over the
 finish line a winner, wa not an omen,
 but an emblem of victor. The liar yard three times" cheer tom thousands of threats of Harvard adlirers was not without significant meanig The great university had taken log stride for ward and in three hours had won as
 many events from it's ol( but friendly enemy-Yale. There werethose who in commenting upon these thee great vic- tories in one day spoke f Harvard's pluck, and it is indeed notceable For eight years she has persistd in rowing Yale and in each of thoseeight years has tasted the bitter appl of defeat, but her courage and her aith in her prowess never faltered, am her faith to-day stands rewarded. It i Harvard's year.
 The jubilant men of crimon on the street tonight find plenty ofsympathy. The crimson of the fireworks n the city and on the river seems more vivid, and nobody grudges the men all tie comfort they take out of their great md signal victory. In brief, Harvards university eight won from Yale to-day over four mile course by six and a half hngths in twenty minutes and fifty-two seconds; Harvard's freshman eight won from 1 a half lengths in nine minutes thirty three and half seconds; Harvard's substitute four won from Yale over two-mile course by six lengths in ten minutes and fifty-one seconds.
 The Harvard crews rowed a modif1ca- tion of the English stroke, coupled with some features of the stroke pulled by Wisconsin, and Coach McConville of Wisconsin, who saw the race, said: "1f Harvards crew, in to-day's form, had been at Poughkeepsie I am afraid it would have given us all 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 famous coach was there The weather early in the day threatened to force a postponement and kept many people away, for the crowd was not nearly so great as in former years. But the afternoon saw an en- tire change of conditions and the races were rowed in almost ideal water and wind, and under clear skies. The course was badly policed, boats getting into the lanes and steamers kicking up sWells after the race had started. Harvard in the varsity race very nearly collided with a number of small boats at the finish and heavy swell impeded Yale The varsity race was prettily rowed, but the defeat was crushing. Yale, however, rowed gamely to the finish, and neither crew showed signs of dis tress.
 Of the two races which were prelim- inary to the climax afforded by the Varsity race one was poor and the other a good exhibition. The contest between the substitutes constituting the varsity fours was a procession which arrived six full lengths ahead at the finish The freshman effort was mighty and splendid one up to the last eighth of mile, when Harvard's supe- rior staying powers, coupled With an obstruction of the course of the Yale youngsters by large steam Pr worked for Harvard's advantage and sent the 1902 men of Harvard across the line more than two lengths ahead pf Yale. Both of these races were post poned from the forenoon and were row. ed about an hour after they had been scheduled for the afternoon. There was little or no betting, and unless it was done privately very little money chang ed hands Tonight the town is the of Harvard's adherents, and they are decorating it in a shade core spending with their colors.
