PORTLAND, June 25-If Carnegie

dumb beasts, Judge, white bulldos
belonging to Charles Foster, liv
eryman, residig at 4S0 Hoyt street
would be entitled to the largest gold
diamond-studded badge OF reward
ever bestowed, 1t was due entirely
to the remarkable intelligence of the
animal that eight persons, including
four children, were saved from hor-
rible deaths by cremation at an early
hour this morning.
AS 1t was, Mrs Charles Foster was
seriously injured by falling from the
portico OF the Hoyt street residence
after having passed her children to
a place OF safety; Judge sustained a
number OF painful burns about the
body, and two maltese kittens were
incinerated.

so many sensational incidents, occur

NEW LONDON, June 25.-Amid
the deafening' din Of whistles and
horns and amid shouts OF collegians,
the Haryer varsity eight shot their
boat over the finish line tonight, win
ming from the crippled and distance
Yale crew that classic OF American
college aquatics, on the Harvard
Yale varsity boat track Instead OF
the race, Harvard finished the last
mile and half alone, while far be-
hind the Yale limped along with but
seven men at the oars with Griswold,
the strokeman, who had been relied
upon to set the winning pace, he went
forward, faint from terrific strain OF
the opening two miles. Up to this
time if had been struggle worthy
of the best traditions of the old an
tagonists Added zest was given to
the race by the interest President
Roosevelt has taken, and although
the circumstances prevented his at
tendance, his family was on hand
and witnessed the race from the
yacht Slyph. Yale was more FORUM
ate than Harvard in having her dis
tinguished champion, Secretary Taft,
present in the flesh. The race rowed
through lane hundred feet wide,
flanked either side by innumerable
craft of every description from little
sloops and motor boats to big reve-
nue. cutters Yale splashed at the
start and gave Harvard slight adj
vantage. AT the half mile the crews
were almost side by side, Harvard
slightly ahead; one mile, Harvard still
in the lead; two miles, Yale squirting
and lessening gap; two and a half
miles, Harvard still in the lead and
Yale ihgting like grim death. Then
came the decisive moment. When the
rhal stretch was almost in sight,
Griswold, Yale's stroke was seen to
pitch forward and a moment later
straighteHsd Ep and succeeded in
rowing perhaps % strokes, then col,
lapsed again. The whole crew ceased
rowing then. Thence it was no long,
er race, Harvard swept on anG
crossed In over the finish line. Her
time was "A mintues 10 seconds.
Griswold was helpless from the
boat and the Yale crew, seven of them
finished the race. AS they crossed
the finish line, they were given tre-
ovation for their pluck.
Yale's time was not taken. Earlier in
the day the honors were divided, Yale
four defeated Harvard by two lengths
and Harvard freshmen eight defeat
ed Yale by three lengths, AT the
Yale quarters ii was found that Girls
void suffered from nervous collapse,
He was not over trained and was not
out of condition. He soon revived.
