plished in spite OF the fact that Har-
ward went two strokes more TO the
minute than Yale. The New Haven
men increased their lead until two and
a half miles had been travelled Then
their shell suffered from the eel grass
section of the course. Harvard pulled
up one length, but when the Yale shell
reached clear water again the supe-
riority of the blue became more thar
evident.
Gradually the contest became pro-
cession. and Yale's victory was as
decisive as the most ardent Of her
supporters could wish.
Harvard's Hollow Victory.
Just before the big race, Harvard
had snatched an 11-hour victory In
the four-oar race. In this event which
was rowed upstream from the navy
yard to Gales Ferry, Yale had led
throughout, and within a quarter mile
of the finish was rowing well and six
lengths ahead. At this point the Yale
men seemed to so to pieces. 1t was
not collapse of oarsmen, however.
There was an unfortunate weakness
in Yale's rigging. and the outrider on
which Fish was pulling broke. This
precluded all possibility Of a Yale vic
tory. Harvard, astern. saw her chance
spurted and won victory which was
confessedly hollow.

Tuesday. Election Pointers

The elections held this week in
Vermont and Arkansas do not ma
tsrially change the politicsl situation
from what it appeared in 1900.
The democrats have failed to reduce
the republican plurality of 24,500
given in Vermont in 1902, and by
this failure can show no loss to the
party in power or any trend toward
a landslide such as was indicated
by the greatly reduced republican
majority given in the state election
in Vermont prior to Grover Clsve-
lands return to power in 1892.
The majority given Tuesday to the
republican ticket in Vermont is
larger by 5000 than that given to
Mckinley in 1900, with the COM
bined republican and gold demo-
cratic vote, and was only exceeded
by the vote given to Mckinley in
1896 by some 1000 votes. The
Arkansas election does not signify
except as to the improbability of
break in the solid south during the
present century.

wheat Crop Of Northre,t

E. w. Wright, commercial editor
of the Orsgonian, who has just CON-
plsted a trip of two thousand miles
through the wheat districts Of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, esti-
mates the wheat crops Of the three
states for the cereal year 1904-5 to be
As, 100000 bushels. Mr.. Wright's
estimate is valuable because during
the past FIVE years each of his pre-
dictions has been within one million
bushels of the actual output.
Of the total crop this year Ore
gon is credited with 1850, 900
bushels; Washington 1850, 900
bushels and Idaho 4 800 900 bushels.
This compares with crop of a.
785, 900 bushels last year, Al $780,
900 bushels in 1902 and 46, 100000
in 1901, the latter being the record
crop for the three states. The out
turn as now estimated by Mr..
Wright is fully 100000 bushels

line before harvest, the decrease
