NEn LONDON, July 2.-TIarvard car
riei every honor away with her from the
Thames yesterday, when her three SPLEEN
did crews beat Yale's three in three as
clean-cut victories as have ever been seen
on this historic course.
Her varsity crew led from start to fin
ish and won by six lengths in 21..O. Yale s
time was 10.
By this victory Harvard won her sec
ond consecutive boat race from Yale in
tWenty-eight years.
The greatest crowd that has ever as
sembled here on the Thames poured into
New London yesterday to witness this
race. Harvard's growing confidence in
her boating system brought double and
quadruple the number that usually fol-
low the crimson to the Thames, while
Yale's determination to win back her
glory on the river brought record
breaking Yale crowd. The railroads could
not furnish enough cars to accommodate
all the people who fought and struggled
for seats on the observation trains. 1t
was estimated that at least 10000 peo-
pie witnessed the spectacle from trains
every kind of vehicle and from a sf1otilla
Of the grandest floating craft that graces
American waters.

but the winners were more successful
with their bingles getting them with men
on the bases. The Commissioners played
their best fielding game OF the season,
pulling through the nine innings without
the slightest miscue.
Erwin. the former Commerce and La

the Interior team, was out with the lat

Yale Made Game Effort.

Although Harvard won By a handsome
margin and administered a crushing de-
| feat to Yale, the race was nevertheless
a contest right up to the last half rhile.
All the way up the river the two Fights
| rowed with almost equal precision, and a
slip of any kind in either shell would
have turned the victory into defeat within
a few seconds. But there was no break
in the Harvard boat. Rowing all the way
two strokes and sometimes three strokes
to the minute more than Yale, the Har-
ward eight crept away from Yale little by
little. For two and q half miles Yale
kept within a Scant boat length OF her
Cambridge rival. Then Harvard put on
her power and increased her lead first
to three lengths then 10 four, and finally
to five and six lengths. Yale spurted
with her od-time determination, but 1t
was in vain.
The explanation of Yale's defeat is not
difficult Harvard with a crew that
averaged almost six pounds TO the man
heavier than Yale, was able to row right
through the race at gait that averaged
two strokes to the minute faster than
Yale and still get out of this stroke her
maximum of speed
Any crew that can row in the form that
Harvard or Yale roWed i'll and still row
on an average two more strokes min
ute than it's rival, and not exhaust its
men by so doing. is bound to win, and the
margin at the finish will only be meas
ured by the physical endurance of the
men in the winning boat.
The Physical Differences.
Comparisons of strokes and scientific
discussions of methods of rowing will not
explain away Yale's defeat. Yale had
men in her shell who proved that they
were physically capable of rowing a
| splendid four-mile race. But they met a
| Harvard crew of unusual physical power
/ and endurance
The difference between the two crews
was physical and not scientific. If Yale
! had had is great physical power as Har-
ward she could have rowed a faster stroke
| and might have been able to at least hold
| Harvard on even terms. But the Yale
crew, although up 10 the average in
point of power. had its limit of speed,
and this limit was not equal to that of
the crimson eight, which had more than
| average power.

THE COUNTRY'S FORESTS.

! Few people have anything IKE
clear idea of the amount of forest
wealth left in this country Those
who think at all about this natural
resource which has assisted in ma
terial development since the landing OF
the first settlers are usually too much
Influenced by the condition. of that par
ticular state or section in which they
are most familiar.
If they live in a much deforested 'of
treeless region, the people usually
imagine that the country's timber sup
ply is even more limited than is actu-
ally the fact; on the other hand, with
those whose homes are located in a
section where a pinch in timber has
not been experienced, the feeling is
likely to be altogether the other way,
and some become so Indifferent at
times as to think that there is really
not much reason to worry about>a TIM
Der problem. Both can profit by a
reading of the actual facts.
The forests of the United States now
cover about $50 million acres, or about
one fourth of the land of the whole
country The original forests covered
not less than $50 million acres, or
near.y one-haf.
The forests owned by the govern
ment cover one fourth of the total
forest area, and contain one-fifth of
all timber standing. Forests privately
owned cover -fourths of the area
and contain four fths of the stand
ing timber. Besides having three times
the area and four times the forests,
the cumberland privately owned is gen.
orally more valuable.
Forestry or conservative numbering.
is practiced on 20 per cent of the for
ests publicly owned and on less than
one per cent of the forests privately
owned. This covers the country's for
est resources as they stand today. Sen
ator Smoot, chairman of the section
of forests OF the National Conserva-
ton commission, in outlining the future
has said:
by reasonable thrift we can pro-
duce a cnstant Timber supply beyond
our present need, and with it conserve
the usefulness of our streams for irri-
cation, water supply, navigation, and
power.
Under right mana cement, our for
ests will yield over four times as much
as now. We can reduce waste IN the
woods and in the mill at least one
third. with present as well as future
profit. We can perpetuate the naval
stores industry. Preservative treat
ment Will reduce by one-fifth the
