Harvard -. -. -. -. 1920 IL
New London, Conn, June 30.-The
crowd who journeyed to the Thames
for the annual Yale-Harvard boat races
saw one of the best freshmen races
that has ever been rowed on any
course, and then for eight hours the
crowds sat in the rain and waited in
vain, first for the varsity four-oareG
race which was postponed and finally
for the big varsity eight-oared race.
Finally, early in the evening both the
varsity and four-oared races were put
over until tomorrow morning.
Yale won the freshmen race by half
second, or quarter of d boats
length. For the two miles of this
race the two shells Zigzagged InG
neither crew ever had a lead of more
than a length. 1t was one of the most
a1lahle boat races in the history
of intercollegiate rowing.
PostpOnement Criticised.
The postponement of the varsity
races brought forth much criticism
Throughout the entire day there
seemed to be a lack of system in the
handling of the races. The fresh
man event was delayed for fifty min
utes by one misshap after another
and by the time it was finished il
was found impossible to put on the
varsity fcur-oared race since the var
Sity eight-oared race was scheduled
for 1890 o'clock. The race for the
big eights could have been rowed NJ
that hour had the officials of the day
been prompt, but there was a long
delay.
AS the afternoon wore on the
southeast wind which had been blow
ing all day grew stiffer and SITTER
until it was absolutely impossible fol
any crew to row.
One of the biggest crowds in the
history of these races came by rail
and water to witness tOdayS regatta.
Possibly there We're not so many
steam yachts as usual but the gen
eral attendance was a record d-breaker.
Details OF the Race.
At the sound of the pistol both
freshmen eights dashed away in eX-
celent style. Yale showed in better
form at the start than Harvard, and
for the first eighth of a mile had a
ward men settled down and slowly
drove their boat to the front. Har-
ward finished the mile in FIVE minutes
and nine seconds; Yale in five minutes
and ten seconds.
Over the next half miles. the strug-
gle was superb. Each crew raised
its stroke one point. At the mile and
a half flag the two boats were eX-
actly even, nose for nose The time
for each crew for the mile and q
half was seven minutes and fifty Sec
onds. Just as the last half mile flag
was passed Yale began the squirt that
won the race. She jumped her stroke
up to SO and began to pull ahead inch
by inch. Harvard did not make her
effort until ar eighth of a mile from
the finish. Then her strike went to
SO but it was too late. Yale was
leading by the length of her canvas
bow as the flags dipped at the finish
Yale had wen by just half a second

 Information to that effect was re- ceived by Judge Buemler through a letter that came in last night from MT Peticolas, who wrote to the father of McNeill when he learned that the check he had cashed was no good. It would appear from this that others who have unpaid cheeks from Neil McNeill stand chance of recovering There are not many now who have not already been settled with by Judge Beumler, who personally lifted most of the checks drawn on the firm when it was found that McNeill was really gone
 The present whereabouts of McNeil continue a mystery. He was in Fl Pasc last week, but it is said crossed tht line to escape arrest that he suddenl, took a notion was likely.

BOY BABIES ARE
LARGER THAN GIRLS

'What are the proportions of the ideal
human body" The vexed question has
never been answered conclusively.
A corollary OF it is this: What are
the proportions of the average healthy man
or woman as we find them?" Nor even to
this has reply been given.
However, we are approaching it, Scien-
lists have made myriads of measurements
of the stature of man, and some of them
are quoted by Fleet Surgeon Williams in
the annual report on the health of the
navy, just issued.
To begin with. the boy when born is
about half an inch taller than the girl
This difference is maintained till near the
age Of 10, when, in England and America,
the average girl is taller and heavier than
the boy. This halting so to speak, on the
part of the male is speedily recovered, and
he again outruns the female in size.
AT the period OF full development the
mans average height, compared with the
woman's average. is ss Is to 10.
Both men and women maintain their
maximum height till the ago of 80 years
when they begin to grow shorter, until at
80 they have lost three inches.
The reason for this dwindling is at
tributed to the shrinking Of the soft parts
between the bones and to the stoop gradu-
ally acquired by old people.

PARIS, April 26.-Louise Michel, the
Red Virgin of the Paris commune. whose
stormy life is drawing rapidly to a close
at Toulon, has had the most extraordinary
career of any woman since the days OF
Joan of Are
For nearly forty years she has been the
terror Of continental governments. who
have regarded her as "the Sbyl of Wrath
the Nidette of the Revolution" Anarch.
lists however, all over the world look upon
her as the "Prestess of Pity" and many oil
her friends think that much suffering ha,
made her mad.
Louise Michel never knew her father
She was born in the ruins of an old feudaI
castle in Lorraine, 65 years ago. She wa.
brought up by her mother her aunt and
her old grandfather. "A man who remem
bered the stirring times of the great revo
luton and who inspired the little Louise
with revolutionary notions.
She had no companions of her own age
perhaps she was Stunned on account OF
her birth, So she made playmates of the
animals that abounded in the old castle
and acquired extraordinary influence even
over hares, bats and sparrows
Her grandfather possessed a fine library
and the child read and pondered over the
works Of revolutionists and anarchists and
determined to overthrow the empire.
When she was IA her grandfather died
and Louise became school teacher and
eventually assistant mistress in a school
in Paris, where she made the acquaintance
OF the leaders Of the Republican and So
cialstic movements. She suddenly became
figure in French politics through her pro
tests against the war with Germany.
Owing to her fierce eoquence she leaped
into popularity, and it was an open secret
that she intended to assassinate Napoleor
on the eve of his departure from Paris. to
meet his destiny at Sedan, and failed in
her design through the merest accident.
During the siege Louise donned the cos
tune of the national guard and shouldered
a rifle Her enthusiasm knew no bounds
when the commune was declared Not
content with fighting daily on the barri
cades, she prevailed upon her own school
children to make sacks and fiji them with
earth for the purpose of defense. The in
dustrious boys and girls she allowed. as a
reward, to load the rifles of the combatants
behind the barricades. And the children
were mad to fight.
The commune at last expired in blood
aud flame and price was placed on Louise
Michels head. It would have been easy
for her to escape to England. Everything
had been arranged. But she heard that

surrendered on the condition that her
mother, whose only fault was that Louise
