For Governor G. j. Bell

The outcome of the Republican state
convention must be most gratifying to
all good citizens. Mr. Bell is q plain
honest citizen who ranks well above
the average of Vermont governors for
the past 20 years.
Ee favors spending money to build
permanent roads and stated before the
convention that he favored the reten-
ton of the license law. He stands on
the party platform which is the best
the Republicans have put forward in
recent years,
Mr. Bell is farmer but has had
vast amount of experience and will
bring to the Office of governor a fund
of common sense born of an active
life that we have every reasen to be
lieve will carry him through his exc
cutive duties with credit to himself and
honor to the state.

ELI FRESHMEN WON
Yale Harvard Oarsmen's Con-
test on the Thames.
FEW SUCH IN AQUATIC HISTORY
Race Was n Desperate SIruEgIe From
Start 10 Finish, Harvard being
Beaten by Half "a Second-Oth-
err Events Postponed.

NEW LONDON, Conn. July 1.-The
thousands who journeyed to the
Thames for the annual Yale Harvard
boat races saw one of the best fresh
men races that was ever rowed
on any course, and then for eight
hours the crowd sat in the rain and
waited in vain, first for the varsity
four cared race, which was postponed,
and finally for the big varsity eight
cared race.
Yale won the freshmen race by half
second, or a quarter of a boats
length. For the two miles of this race
the two shells zigzagged, and neither
crew ever had Il lead of more than
quarter of a length 1t was one of the
most remarkable boat races in the his
tory of intercollegiate rowing.
At the sound of the pistol both Fights
dashed away In splendid style. Yale
showed in better form at the start
than Harvard and for the first eighth
of a mile had a trihe the better Of It.
Then the Harvard men settled down
and slowly drove their boat TO the
front Yale was rowing thirty-four and
the crimson thirty-two. Raising her
stroke Il point or two, Harvard reach
ed the half mile flag a third of a length
in the lead over the next half mile
the boats only changed in their rela-
tive positions by one second Harvard
finished the mile in minutes and o
seconds and Yale In minutes and 10
seconds.
over the next halt mile the struggle
was superb. Each crew raised its
stroke one point. Harvard steered out
of her course in order to catch better
water. and Yale followed her At the
mile and Il half flag the two boats were
exactly even. nose for nose. The time
for each crew for the mile and a half
was minutes and 80 seconds. Just
as the last half mile flag was passed
Yale began squirt that won the race,
She jumped her stroke up to thirty-slx
and began 10 pull ahead inch by inch.
Harvard did not make her effort un-
til an eighth of mile from the finish
Then her stroke went TO thirty-eight,
but II was too late. Yale was leading
by the length of her canvas bow as
the flags dipped at the finish. The
two flags went down almost smul-
taneously, and II was several minutes
before the crews knew who had won.
Finally the referee shouted out the
name of the winner, and the Yale
youngsters sat up in their shell and
gave the Yale cheer, with Harvard
on the end of ii. Yale had won by just
half second. Yale's time was 10
minutes and 20 seconds and Harvard's
10 minutes and 2015 seconds.
The crews had fair wind, but prac-
tically no tide, and considering this
fact the time was fast The prediction
made Wednesday night by John Ken
nedy of Yale that the freshmen race
was toss up same true Two crews
more evenly matched had never met.
The pOstponement Of the varsity
races brought forth much criticism.
Throughout the entire programme there
seemed to be a lack of system in the
handling of the races

Starting a Style.

The long cont for women is said to
have been introduced by Nine. de POM
padour as the correct" riding coat ut
the time when she organized the royal
bunting parties ut Versailles. This in
novation, like everything decreed by
the ''grande marquise." was scrupu-
lously followed by the ladies Of the
court. No sooner had she set the ex-
ample by wearing this becoming gar
ment than the entire train Of both
king and queen adopted this more prac-
tical form of dress in preference to the
Powered silks and satins worn hither-
to. In this way Nine. de Pompadour
rendered the sport easier to the ladies
who preferred riding. The coat was
carried out in a bright colored cloth re-
lieved with fancy galloon or embroider-
les. The most effective material how
ever, was velvet in variety Of beau
tiful shades. This becoming fashion
was still much in vogue during the
''reign" Of Nine. Du Barry. In a well
known portrait by Drouais she is rep
resented in the popular embroidered
velvet hunting coat and, curiously
enough. wearing a mans powdered
wig.
