 The ice in the harbor has been very effective in it's treatment of the float at the Yale boat house. The flood tide losses the huge cakes of ice up against } the woodwork, ad tnhe result of it's tricks is that the athletic fund of the varsity crew will be taxed with a good sized bill for carpenters repairs before Captain Whittier can use the shells on the Ilarbor. Saturday a quantity of the ice was cut out with axes and remov- ed and the property put in ais safe con- dftion as possible. It will be necessary to exercise watchfulness when the ice moves out so that the float is not in- jured. -.
