According TO the experts, never has a
big regatta been worse handled than
that between Yale and Harvard at New
London yesterday, and which was COM
pletcd today.
The critics present were a unit in
roasting the officials and blame them for
not having the events over with in one
day. II seems to have been a case of
the management losing its head and dis
gusted hundreds Of rowing enthusiasts.
The New York Sun" has this to say
about the freshman race, which was
won by Yale:
If the men in charge of the regatta
had been alert and hustllng the program
would have been carried out before 10
o'clock. according to arrangements. but
as it is hundreds have been compelled 10
stand the hoId-up game at the hotels.
where rooms are selling for 81 and s.
each. and in some cases $40 and $15 at
the swagger resorts. Hundreds have
also left fOr home.
Sensational Race.
The only consola ton for the big crowd
was a race between the freshman crews
of the two universities, which was the
most sensational ever rowed on the

The burning of the excursion steam

most appalling disasters of the kino
which ever occurred in this country
The passengers consisted mainly OF
women and children, and III their
hopeless condition were confronted
with death on all sides. The only
choice left to them was to be burned 10
death or TO be drowned. Hundreds OF
them preferring the latter went down
TO watery graves. Hundreds OF others
remained on the steamer and were
carried down to an agOnizing fate 10y

TO the furnace below. The loss OF lie
when the disaster occurred, was esti-
mated at about five hundred but later
reports show that the fatalities were

six hundred surely persisted, and, 1t Is
believed. that thousand or more were
lost in the disaster. The evertumlng
of a pot of grease in the kitchen OF the
vessel started the fire, due doubtless tC
the carelessness of some of the crew
and all of the officers seem to have
been too panic-stricken even to get the
boat ashore at the nearest point III

is promised with the view to placing
the blame.
