HARVARD LUST RACE
CAMRIDGE WON BY TWO LENGTHS
In A HARD CONTEST.
Finished Strong, While
Britishers Were All ln-Cambridoe
Got Better Start-tIarvard Had Fin
est Crew Physically Ever Seen in
England, but Lacked Training.

Putney, Notwithstanding boat
universities, which was won by the
Englishmen by two lengths, was prob
ably the most surprising ever rowed
on the Thames, not SO much because
of the result. but the way in which 1t
was rowed.
Harvard and hoped for by English
men, got away the better, securing a
lead which they increased to three
lengths before Hammersmith bridge.
Both crews, as they went under the
bridge, were rowing steadily at 20
strokes to the minute, neither appar-
emily exerting itself. Evidently Har-
ward commenced to use more power
and although Cambridge already had
the race won and had the advantage
Of water conditions the Englishmen
were compelled to increase their
stroke to 80 and finished tired out
crew. Donaldson was ready to col
lapse and Brookes in the bow was
nearly as bad. The remainder Of the
crew padded the boat to the landing
stage.
Harvard men, on the other hand,
were apparently quite fresh and took
their boat across the river at a brisk
rate. English sports say there is but
one explanation of the resultant of
superiority of Craftsmanship and t he
Englishmen's stroke. Harvard was
one of the finest crews physically ever
seen on the river, but was unable to
overcome that training which English
oarsmen receive from childhood. The
Cambridge crew, too, had in Stuart
one Of the best strokes England has
ever produced. 1t has also had the ad-
vantage of choice of side, but those
who know the river best say this was
little in their favor with the tide and
wind as they were.
Comment on Race.
Stroke Stewart of the Cambridge
crew said:
"Filley and his crew rowed a mag
nificent race. We are glad we won,
but sorry to defeat such good fellows"
OdptdiH rllley VI the harvard boat
laconically declared that his men had
been beaten fairly and squarely. Coach
Wray was gloomy and had nothing to
say except that he had no excuse to
offer. Coach Mattlebury of Cam
bridge said:
The Harvard men made up the best
crew ever sent out from the United
States. With another year and little
more English style the Harvard men
will be dangerous rivals hope the
Americans will favor us with another
visit
The crews dined together at Princes
restaurant.

WILL OPPOSE DRYDEN
REPORTED HE HAS FIGHT ON
FOR REELECTION.


Special DiSpatch TO The Star.
TRENTON, N. j., March 3.--The chances
of Senator Dryden succeeding himself are
growing slim. The Colby forces are at
war with him, and the Standard Oil in
fiuence is against the senator and with
Colby
According to custom, the state senator
in whose county the United States sem
atorial candidate lives must present his
name to the legislature. Colby is from
Essex county, where Dryden lives.
Unless Colby should make a complete
turn about before the next session of the
legislature the name he will present will
not be Drydens
Dryden has residence in Bernardsville,
and could get Senator Frelinghausen to
present his name were it not for the fact
that Frelinghausen is tied UP to Governor
Stokes, and Stokes wants to be United
States senator more than he ever wanted
to be governor. He has said however,
that he would not be candidate against
Dryden, but if 1t is shown that Dryden
cannot land the plum Stokes will get out
in the Open
There will come before this session the
bill to allow voters at general election to
express preference for United States
ator. The popular vote is likely to be for
Stokes.

THE ALASKA GovERNoRsHIP.
MI. Jarvis Declined the Position Of
fered by the President.

D. H. Jarvis, as tntimated IN The Star,
has declined the offer of the governorship
OF Alaska made to him by President RooSe-
velt. While Mr.. Jarvis feels that he would
like to aid the President in taking the posi-
ton he cannot afford to give up extensive
fishing and canning interests with which he
is connected, and to remain at the head
of which he is pledged. Mr.. Jarvis a
former lieutenant of the revenue cutter
service who received unstinted praise from
the government number of years ago for
leading daring mdwinter relief expedition
to whaers imprisoned by the ice near Point
Barrow, saw the President yesterday after
noon.
There are three prominent candidates now
In the field for the governorship. Whether
the President will select any of these or a
new man cannot be stated The most
heavily backed of the three is William Il
Perkins of Seattle, who has three or four
senators working IN his behalf. Next TO
him comes John B. Clum, at present a
postmaster q Fairbanks, Alaska one of the
great boom towns of the territory. Mr..
Clum is regarded as having a good chance.
His support is mainly in Postmaster Ger
eral Cortelyou, who feels that MIR. Clum rs
particularly we'll equipped for the position.
w. B. Hoggatt of Juneau Is the third cam
didate. He, too. has pretty good backing.
Unless the President reaches a decision
quickly there will probably be a large num-
Der of other candidates in the field.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March g.
The Chinese high commissioners, includ-
ing Prince Tsai Use. reached San Francisco
today on board the Dakota. There are
twenty-six members of the party. including
nine servants. The trip was uneventful,

days. The party received a royal sendoff
at Yokohama. The chamberlain of the
imperial household came down from Toxic
to represent his highness, the emperor.
When the prince, accompanied by Shang
Shi. Hong and Lii Shengte. the other two
commissioners, reached the Hotaba they
found a royal sight. Chinese merchants
and citizens of Japan were in evidence
each carrying tiny flag which they waved
furiously as the party passed. The governor
of Kanagawa Ken. in which Toxic is To-
Gated together with the mayor of TOXIC
were present to give an official farewell
Ihe party Will go at once to Washington
A member of the party had quite a talk
with The Stars representative on board
the Dakota. He said among other things
Visit a Personal One.
There is no significance in our visit
which Is personal rather than official. We
have nothing to do with the American gov
ernment In an official way. 40 doubt we
will see the President and have a talk with
him on affairs In China
No, | do not care to discuss the boycott
In China. Our people have not been treat
ed well by Americans and we are retala ting
In way that reaches the heart through
the pocket book. 1 don't know how long
1t will continue. Yes. / heard of the trouble
In the interior, but it's the old story over
and over again-the missionaries. Now,

in your religion but you are not proceed

pie.
Your missionaries are looking at our sit
uation and weighing our conditions from
your standpoint. It's all wrong Our point
of view and yours are all different. We
who have seen the civilization of other
countries, are hoping for a new era for
China. 1t must come. We are an old
mature nation. Our advancement Is Just
as the japanese did. We are trying to edu-
cate our boys In occidental civilization and
some day we hope to take our place in the
family of nations, but we must be pa
tient. and your people must be generous
