Ter the Sport-The Big
 Race at 4:3O.
 New London, Conn, June 29.-A per feet June morning, without cloud in the sky and with gentle breeze rip bling the incoming tide, was nature's greeting to the oarsmen of Tale and Harvard universities on this, the day of their annual regatta on the Thames. This is the twenty-seventh regatta l day on which Yale and Harvard crews have met in friendly rivalry Eighteen times the sons of Eli Yale have led the way over the finish line in more or less hard rOwed races. Seven times the crimson has gone back to Cam bridge as the victor and twice both universities have taken part with Cor nell in triangular races. It is now six years since Harvard sent winning crew to the Thames, and prior to that it was way back in 1891 that Harvard broke Yale's string of five consecutive victories. The freshmen crews of the two universities have raced for near ly generation and in these events Yale has also been more successful than Harvard. It is only since 1899 that the substitutes on the varsity crews have been given an opportunity in four-oared shells to show speed, and Harvard only once has been defeated.
 The failure of friends of tine crews to fill up the hotels and boarding houses as they have been won't to do ill years past, and the early hour of the freshman and four cared races, made the crowd which witnessed them the smallest ever known here. It was feared also that the attendance at the varsity race would fall far below that of any other year.
 Itinerant sidewalk merchants with their stocks of race souvenirs, carriage men who usually have reaped ha'r- vest, and the tradesmen in general here in New London today bitterly complained of an apparent lack of in- terest in these races, attributing the changed conditions to the repeated victories of the crews from New Ha- ven.
 The race officials are:
 Starter, Mir Meikleham: varsity race timekeeper and referee for Yale, George St John Sheffield; timekeeper and referee for Harvard, ]. F. Per kins; judge at finish, Hugh Auchin- closs, for Yale.
 Judges of four-Oared and freshmen races, George Ball and c. Whitney for Harvard: Hugh Auchincloss and George Low for Yale.
 The preparations for the first race of the day, that between the Harvard. Yale four-oared crews were begun promptly at 1915 o'clock, the event be- ing scheduled to start in fifteen minutes.
 This race was for two miles. start ing at point opposite the Harvard quarters and finishing downstream two miles at the navy yard. In this event Harvard was to have the east course of. the river and Yale the west.
 The eight-oared race between the freshmen crews was for two miles, like the fOur-oared. The freshmen, however. were to start at the navy yard and finish at the New London bridge. In this race Harvard is to row in the east course and Yale in the | west the same as in the fOur-oareu. The competing crews to-day were as follows:
