IL is announced that Senator and
Mrs. John Walter Smith will sail for
Europe on June 18th, and he will pro-
badly not return home in time for the
national Democratic convention at Den
yer. Therefore it is not likely that he
will be elected one of the delegates at
large. Governor Smith has been a
great worker all his life. and his friends
have wondered for long time why he
did not take just such trip as he is
arranging for. His partner in the
lumber business, Francis S. Waters,
Esq. is already in Europe on AN ex-
tended trip.

ON THE THAMES RIVER
Harvard and Yale Meet In the Annual
Battle of oars-New London Is
Ready For the Race.
Special to the Herald.

Spec1al TO the Herald.
New London Conn.,, June 24.-New
London is putting on her holiday at
for tomorrow is the day of all days.
1t is the day on which Harvard and
Yale meet in the annual battle of
oars, and the old city is proud to en-
terrain the rowing sons of the two
greatest universities in the country.
The town is brilliant with flags and
bunting of crimson and blue and the
place has taken on an air of life and
activity customary to the occasion
The regular city routine has been es-
tablished, the same excitement oc-
ours each year prior to and about
race time, the same deep lethargy
reigns after, but for the few days of
hustle and hustle, cheers and song
New London is without a rival.
The two crews who, are to battle to-
morrow for supremacy on the water
took their final practice spins today.
For several weeks they have been
CHARTERED on the banks of the beau
tiful Thames river, which, like its
namesake in England, has been in
the past the scene of many hard
fought battle, and will tomorrow be
the scene of one that will doubtless
,,+a hot hoo
ever taken place here, though the
contest may not be so close as in
some previous years.
For months the preparations for
the race have been going on, but the
tedious work of training is now over,
and today eight husky sons of old
Eli and eight broad-shouldered youths
from Cambridge are resting, taking
things as easy as the thoughts of i'm
pending battle will allow, and tomor
row the great test of power, endur-
ance and sand takes place.
Yale is the choice in the betting to-
day. Few wagers have been placed
SO far, but tomorrow morning, when
the crowd pours in from Boston, New
Yorks and other points, it is expected
that much money will be placed at
stake. Yale supporters are confident
as to the result of the varsity race,
and Harvard men appear to be only
hopeful While both Fights are scarce
ly up to the standard of previous
years, and fast race is not looked
for, Yale is slightly the favorite in
the betting because of her superior
form and the better quality of her
cork duIifg the past week in prac-
tlce.l llafyard at simoS the last mo
ment had the misfortune to lose two
of her best men. Many critics de-
clare that for this and for other rea-
sons the form of the crimson crew is
ragged and sloppy. Yet, even many
Yale men admit that endurance alone
will pull out the race, and it is upon
this that Harvard's hopes are based.
Yale and Harvard Fights have
rowed forty-one races, the first in
1852. Since 1878 the contests, with
one exception, have taken place on
the Thames river course. Of the for
ty-one races Yale has won twenty
three, while Harvard has eighteen vic
tories to her credit.
