In 1.-TWO Chums, the Story OF a Boy and

two friendless chums in a foreign land is
told in a bright, natural style and with

Juniors Win Event on Charles River in

Cambridge, April 1.-THE annual
eight oared race for the Harvard class
championship was rowed today over
the mile and seven eighths course in
tie Charles river basin. The juniors
won after one of the prettiest races
ever witnessed on the river, the seniors
having Tapped the winners from start
to finish. The sophomores finished over
a length behind the seniors. The fresh
men did not enter a crew.
The race was rowed in the record
time of 9 minutes 2S seconds, under con-
ditions slightly less favorable than
those under which the record was
made. The sophomore crew showed re-
markedly good form.
The seniors made a much stronger
showing than the experts had predict
