Freshman Race.
THE VARSITY EIGHT DARED
A PRETTY CONTEST.
The Better Work Was in the Harvard
6oat-HarvaNd Won by Six Boat
Lengths-The Story in Detail.

New London, Conn., July 1.-an a
grand exhibition of rowing By a. crew
remarkable for its physical power and
endurance, Harvard this evening de-
feated Yale in their annual varsity
eight Dared race on the Thames. The
Crimson crew led slightly from the
start and won by six boat lengths
Harvard's time was 2t5o; Yale's was
22Is.
By this victory Harvard won her
second consecutive boat race from Yale
in rs years. Not since 1880 and 1881
has Harvard won Ave varsity races
from Yale including todaYis, namely,
1881, 1899, 1906, and 1908. Since Wray
has been. coaching at Cambridge. Yale
and Harvard have met three times,
and the Crimson has won two races.
The greatest crowd that has ever
assembled here on the Thames poured
frfco New London today to witness this
race Harvard's @ewingy confidence in
her boating system brought twice the
auu5ber of enthusiasts that usually
follows the Crimson to the Thames,
while TaAes discrimination to regain
her eloryron the river was hacked by
q record breaking Yale crowd. The
railroads. could not furnish enough cars
to accommodate all the people who
fought and struggled Efor seats ON the

the spectacle from trains. from every
kind of vehicle and from, a fiotilla OF
the grandest floating craft that graces
American waters.
Rowed With Almost Equal Precision.
Although Harvard won by a hand
some margin and administered a
crushing defeat to Yale, the race was
NEVERTHELESS pretty contest right up
ooi the last llBaf mile. All the way up
the river the two eights rowed with
almost eQual~precision. But the better
work was in the Harvard boat. Row
ing all the way two strokes and some
times three strot0eeato athe minute more
than Yale, the Harvard eight crept
ahead little by little. For two and a
half miles Yale kept within a scant
baat length Of her rival. Then Har-
ward with supeFla4irs> effort Increased
her lead, first to three, then to four
lengths, and finally to five and six
lengths. Yelst depurted with her old

ANNUAL VARSITY GRAND EXHIBITION

test Right Up to the Last haIf Mile

New London, July 1.-Yale's part in
the university four Dared and the
freshman eight events on the Tirames
this morning, so far as actual racing
went, was not at all important. Both
of the Eli Crews fell into the back
ground promptly after the two events
were started, and thereafter the con-
test resolved itself not In toIa question
as to which would win, but by how
much.
In the four cared race Yale finished
at least five lengths astern of the
Cambridge boat. 1t was the first four
Dared shell victory for Harvard in five
years.
Yale finished fifteen ciearElengths be-
hind in the freshman rage.
The officials times by half miles of
the two races were as follows:

Yaie's Defeat Explained.

YaieS Defeat Explained
The, explanation of Yale's defeat is
not difhcIlt. Harvard, with crew
that averaged almost six pounds to
the, man heavier than Yale, was able
to row right through the race two
strokes to the minute faster than the
Blue oarsmen. But comparisons of
stroses and scientific discussions of
methods Of rowing will not wholly ex-
plain> away Yaie.s defeat. Yale today
had men In her she'll capable of row.
ing splendid four mile race and this
they did do.
The difference between the two
crews was physical and not scientific.
Yale strength was lacking, though
the Blue.csew appeared up to the av-
erage Of other Years, in point of pow
err But ELI had its limit of speed and
this limit was not equal to that of
the Crimson eight, which had more
than average power.
Wray a Great Coach.
Incidentally however, the race dem
onstrated that Wray Is u great coach.
Less than two weeks ago and almost
on the eve of the race. .Wray deposed
Sargent, a man considered a grsft
stroke, and put in his place RosA Ar
Cutler, whose physical proportions
causedsnany to have grave fears about
the wisdom of this change. 1t was
this change, however. that saved the
race Efor Harvard. Sargent. rowing in
the form In which he had been in the
Crimson eRht's practice, could not
have won for Harvard this afternoon.
BY putting Cutler in at No. 8, Wray
IenFtfnened the Harvard stroke until it
was equai,to that Of Yale's, and at the
same time retained Harvard's faster
speed

 country and has lived there for sev-

 shortly to be rewarded for their faith
 in it.
 GU SING AND WIFE RELEASED At the direction of United States At
 torney Alexander. Gu Sing and his American wife were yesterday released on the condition that they would cease living togther. There was no dsposi- tion to make an examination of them since it did not appear that they were intending to violate the law but rath- CT thought that they were keeping it. The only purpose of the prosecution so far as 1t went. was to illustrate that such alliances cannot exist in this ter ritory.
 A LOS ANGELES oFFER-The territorial fair, commissioners and Col. Epes Randolph. in charge of the min eral exhibit. have been notified that the Los Angeles chamber of mines will gladly provide space for the mineral exhibit which has been gathered for display at the territorial fair. The Los Angeles chamber of mines Is a live" institution. whose best efforts are devoted to the interests of the en- tire mining community of the south west. and their desire to secure and provide space for this exhibit is to be commended. Arizona should advertise its mineral and geologic products of commercial importance in every way possible. and exhibits if placed on dis play in Los Angeles in an institution like the chamber of mines. will doubt less attract the attention of a great many people and stimulate public in terest in mining matters in the terri | tory. The Arizona fair exhibit how ever is very largely of a permanent character and cannot be moved very well any more than the display of the chamber of mines could be brought here. But there is plenty Of ore in Arizona to duplicate the fair exhihit many times over if those interested choose to send it to Los Angeles.

with the pledge Of the Republican
party to levy a protective duty equal
ing the difference in cost at home and
abroad plus a reasonable profit. MI.
Bailey has head for mathematics and
he figures that to conform TO this
pledge was to practically declare that
the foreign labor cost was nothing.
If the Republican party has that high
regard for the colored voter which
would so become it there is but slight
danger of the imposition of an almost
prohibitive duty upon that product
which is to the negro as the bead to
the aborigine. Social functions IN
dark town society would be robbed OF
that martial aspect which has ever
rendered them picturesque and excit-
ing. The Populists, too, might again
flourish with the encouragement OF
the use of the worst enemy that whis-
kers ever had.

The RAZOR TAX.

The discussion of the tariff on
razors by the United States Senate
has served to bring out the cost OF
these implements of offense and de-
Tense. According to statements mace
mon the floor by grave and reverend
Senators, men who are supposed 10
have a high regard for the truth, the
weanon that is so ever popular with
mart of the Southern contingent of the
Republican party, can be manufac-
tured abroad at very small cost. IL
was even stated that raSors retailing
In America for the neat sum OF $3'Oo
could he manufactured for forty cents
each and that imported razors costing
80 so each here, or $4,000 per dozen,
were sold by the original makers for
"a TX ner dozen. The evident purpose
of this testimony was to justify tax
Of one hundred per cent upon neces'
sary articles in every day use. In
this respect 1t signally failed, as the
consumer can see no financial benefit
accruing to him from government ex'
tortion substituted for private extor'
tion. As Senator Bailey put 1t, duty
of one hundred per cent on the impor
tation OF razors is not in conformity
