SPORTING NOTES.

The annual boat race between lIar-
ward and Yale will be held at New
London Friday, June 80. according tc
an announcement made Tuesday at
Cambridge, Mass. For many weeks
diplomatic negotiations have been in
progress between the rowing manage
ments of the two universities in an
effort to select "a day that would be
acceptable if not perfectly satisfactory
TO the contestants. II is understood
that Harvard hoped that Yale would
select June %, which would be Thurs
day, the corresponding day Of races
for many previous years. The CORES
pondence over the date Of the race
was caused by the different time that
the two universities have their final
examinations.
