 the youngsters of 1905 Finally the
 varsity hit it up a bit, left the fresh
 men behind and in racing form pulled
 mile and a half up the river. The men
 roWed in superb style and the boat i travelled splendidly. In all the var sity eight worked about half an hour. 1 The Harvard men did not leave their
 quarters until after o'clock The
 practice here was similar to that of | Yale, the oarsmen being coached from the launch by Higginson and StorroW.
 The Harvard practice concluded with
 a stretch of mile at a good clip and the rowing was done with fine finish. With the evening practice ended the oarsmen returned to their boat houses and later went to supper. The evening
 for the members of the crew was short.
 A few visitors were received, but the
 men were kept in seclusion as much as
 possible and retired early for the last
 nights rest before the day of battle.
 At Red Top and Broad View it was
 announced tonight that there was nothing to be desired in the matter of physical condition. There is not a sick man on the list and 1t is added, there are no indications of overtraining. All that is now wanted for the morrow is smooth favorable water and weather. With such conditions, according to many authorities, the chances are good for record rowing tomorrow afternoon.
 The crowds in the city tonight are not large, but preparations are made for unusual throngs tomorrow. The oars- men of Harvard and Yale will not be the only attraction tomorrow, for the nations executive will be a guest of the city by sunrise The dispatch boat Dolphin steamed into the harbor at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon and anchoring near the drawbridge awaited the arrlv al of President Roosevelt.
