the second four also by a length and a
half. The freshmen started their
stroke at "a, lowering it to 80, and fin
ishing at 3S. No time was taken.

WANTS TO PROTECT
INTEREST IN NORWICH BRANCH. |
New Haven Roads New Bridge Across
Thames and Elimination Of Grade
Crossing.

A New Haven despatch Thursday
said:
1t was stated by a leading general
Official of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company last
night that the new construction on the
rol terminal, will consist largely of the
elimination of grade crossings in vari-
GUS parts of southern New England.
At New London a sweeping change
is coming. There is a plan on foot
there to turn the present Thames riv-
err bridge between Groton and that
city over to New London, If the lat
ter city will take it.
Whether New London takes the
t-'dge or not, the road Is upon the
eve Of constructing new steel bridge
over the Thames at New London just
north of the present structure, for its
New York and Boston traffic.
The river bridge will Garry four
tracks. 1t will be a very expensive
affair, and must be built at once as
a matter of economy, the old bridge
having failed so far that the ordinary
Gouble track service has had to be
brought on to single track basis.
When this new bridge comes the
ceadly grade crossing in front of the
Groton ferry at New London will be
cut out. This is said to be the most
dangerous grade crossing in the state.
Its celebration will come from the
e.evation of the tracks through New
London, as in Bridgeport and Hart
ford, or else by carrying the tracks
Ground New London. The first course
will probably be adopted, as the road
already owns practically all the water
front of New London. And further
more, the road is DESTROYS Of protect
ing it's interests in connection with the
Norwich line steamers and also with
the Norwich and Worcester branch
railroad, which runs UP past Red Top,
On the Thames.

varsity fours out for light practice.
1t was seven o'clock before the varsi-
ty eight left the float for two and
half mil row downstream at an
easy stroke. on the return upstream
