and enthusiastic. One hundred and
fifty dollars in cash was at once Sc
cured. a leading Methodist brother
said to the writer: If the men had

HARVARD's AEW DEPARTURE.
Crews Leave for Thames To-day--Much
 Earlier Than Ever Before.

Crews Leave for Thames To-day--Much Earlier Than Ever Before.
 l Cambridge June 3.-Rather unex- pectedly the Harvard crew leaves Cam bridge tomorrow for the training quarters at Red Top on the Thames. This will give the crew four weeks, lacking two days, at the scene of the race in which to prepare for the strug- gle, the longest period which the Har- ward crew has ever had of training loutside of Cambridge. Coach Colson has, hawever, been unable to do what he has wished with the crews on the Charles river, and some time ago made lit plain to the rowing authorities at Harvard that he considered the facil- | ities for practice in Cambridge one of the greatest drawbacks against which the Harvard crews have to contend. Another innovation this year is in taking two eight-oared crews to Red Top. The four-oar was picked the nlid- dle of this week, and from the men re- maining on the squad an eight-oared crew was made up which will be used
 as trial horse for the varsity at New London All together, with two |eights, four-oar, and two substitutes, and with coxswains, coaches, and man. |agers there will be about thirty men in
 the varsity house this year. This has
 necessitated purchasing come small
 portable houses, and various other im- |provenlents have been made about the
 quarters.
