means to look out of the vehicle, and

side the driver.
Before now he had known that
some one was riding behind having
heard various thumps that gave the
secret away, and once upon twisting
HIS head around he had ieetlng
glimpse Of human eye glued to the
little glass in the back canopy OF the
vehicle.
A very pleasant outlook. really.
Being philosophical man to a
marked degree. the marquis at once
set to work pooling his resources, so
as to make as game n stand as the oc-
cRsion would admit.
He remained perfectly cool a1d self
possessed---w when a man had passed
through such astonishing adventures
as had fallen TO his lot Of late years
he is hardly likely to show tho white
feather because forsooth few London
blaclSmailers and footpads conspire to
entrap him.
He gathered his energies together
and watching his chance, quietly open
ed the door to the left, intending to
drop out without attracting the atten-
ton of the two cronies upon the seat
A very clever little idea, and one
that might have worked to beauti-
full issue only for one thing-he had
forgotten the fellow who was riding in
the rear Of the GROWER"

acquired from long yenrs Of athletic

HARVARD AND YALE
BOAT RACES
Were Watched by Thousands of Spec

and Alice There.

New London, Conn, June 24-This
old New England town is rejoicing in
its annual college outing for the
crews of Harvard and Yale contest
for supremacy on the Thames to-
morrow. College men and college

countless visitors enXiOus to get a
view OF the Yale men in training
1t is generally conceded that the

most closely contested events held
in years, although popular opinion

are confident as TO the result of the
varsity race. and the Harvard men
appear to be hopeful In the small
amount Of betting done today Yale
is a slight favOrite because of her
superior form and the better quality
Of her work during the last ten days
Of practice Many critics declare
that Harvard's S form was ragged and
sloppy. though it has picked up a
good deal the last week. There is
very little betting as yet. but the
present enthusiasm seems to war
rant chat the usual amount OF money
will change hands tomorrow.
According TO the program as final
ly arranged the fOur-Oared race will
start at II O'clok tomorrow morning
from the upper end Of the course and
finish at the navy yard. Immediately
afterward the freshman race will
be started from the navy yard and
finish at the bridge. At half-past II
o'clock the varsity race will be
started from the upper end of the
course and finish at the drawbridge.
William Meikleham will be the ref
cree and the boat scout has been
chosen for his use.
From a society point of view the
races will undoubtedly be as sue
cessful as in previous years. No
aquatic event in the western hemls-
phere attracts the fashionable as
does the exclusive Yale-Harvard an
nual race. Special trains will be
run from New York, Boston. New
Haven. Providence and other points
and the town of New London and
its sleepy little suburb across the
river will literally swarm with men
and women of wide social promi-
nenCe.
The betting shows Yale the favorite
for all three races. For the varsity
race 80 bets were made today at IA TO
t. For the freshmen eight the book
makers lay three to one and for the
varsity four to one.
The Relianc, Constitution and Col
umbia will arrive tomorrow.
