HARVARD LOOKS LIKE
 SURE WINNERS NOW,
Rowing Upstream, Varsity Equals Yale's Old Record for Downstream of 2o.10.

In a time row Friday afternoon the Harvard varsity eight equaled the rec ord on the Thames river made by the Yale crew of 1888, which went over the four mile course in 20 minutes and 10 seconds. The record is the more re- markable in view of the fact that the crew rowed upstream while the Yale record was made downstream with conditions more favorable. There was southern wind blowing across the course and for the first mile there was a long swell from the harbor which was somewhat of a handicap.
 The men rowed in splendid form and were in excellent condition at the end of the row. The highest stroke was 9s and the lowest 33. The crew start ed under the bridge, rowing at 3S, and passed the half mile mark at 2.19. The time for the other marks was as fol- lows Mile, 4.44; 1 1-2 miles, 723 miles, 1902: 1-2 miles. 1928. 3 mics 1458; 1-2 miles, 17.31 1 miles, 010

 Both reports were accepted as read. Treasurer Hopkins has capably filled this position for the last twelve years.
 Officers Reelected.
 Nelson V. Porter and Joseph P. Con nor, whose terms as members of the board were expiring, were reelected for three years, and Herbert B. Cary e-eleoted for one year. Jeremiah Lynch was reelected collector, the clerk casting one ballot in each case by direction of the meeting.
 The compensation of clerk, treasur- CT and collector was fixed as the same as last year, and the committee of three to fix and approve the bonds of treasurer and collector was re- elected as before, consisting of A. A. Beckwith, F. H. Pullen and r. L. Woodland.
 Authority Given to Borrow Money.
 Upon the item in the warning ask ing for authorizing the district to bor- row such sum of money as needed to pay final debts, Treasurer Hopkins explained, at request of the president that the necessity for this arose through the need. of doing the work ordered by Health Officer Dr. Lewis which cost about $500. an amount which the district had not anticipated so that probably about s100 would be needed to pay some salaries and a few small bills.
 A vote was passed to authorize the pfHppTc hnTrnUr tho npada1 money.
 President Tanning Explains consclida-
 tion.
 This concluding the matters in the warning. President Tanning addressed the meeting with an explanation of why it was necessary in view of the approaching consolidation for the dis trict to meet and elect officers as fl it were to continue for another year
 He referred to a recent decision pub lished in the papers which sustained his views that the vote of the town for consolidation had wiped out tho districts, although some had held oth- CT opinions because of special char ters under which school districts were formed. and he said that while he did not anticipate any trouble in Norwich since all districts seemed to be com ing in graciously to the consolidation he thought to go on with the elections and maintain the organization of the districts just as if no consolidation were coming. This would put the dis trict in a position to close up any business necessary to be done before July 1.
 Whether there should be any further meetings of the board or not, the dis trict had made a good history in the past and could be congratulated, since it had acted generously towards tho young entrusted to it's care and haC produced results that had been sat isfaetory in the education it had giver it's pupils. He felt it an honor tha he could say in after years that he haC at one time held the presidency of tho board and he thanked those who haC served the district in any capacity.
 This concluded the business and or motion of H. B. Cary, the meeting ad- jQurned after a 25-minute session.

Temperance Arguments Presented at Meeting at Norwich Town Church.

A most interesting meeting of the W. c. T. U. of the city. over which Mrs. s. Howard Mead presided, was held in the chapel of the First Con gragational church Friday afternoon. After the devotional service, the hymn For God and Every Land, to the tune America, was sung. A paper on The Object of the Organization was first given. Its object is to interest others in our work in a way they have not thought of before. It has been hard to get people to join a practical work ing organization of this kind It had its origin in Hillsborough, o. Miss Frances Willard devoted her life to its work
 The solos Sometimes Between Long Shadows and A Spring Song were rem dered most beautifully by Miss Pearl NJ Jackson.
 The statement was made by Mrs. Mead that during one week at Madeira, Africa. there were 7S,000 cases of liq- uor, S6,000 barrels of rum. 800, 900 dem johns of rum. 24.000 butts of rum. 960, 600 cases of gin, 15,000 barrels of ab- sinthe passed the port of registry, thus making darker Darkest Africa,
 Among facts of importance brought  out were; Students of the University of California recently voted five to one against the use of any form of intoxi- eating drink at any of their functions; during many strikes where saloons have been closed in this and other countries the militia have not beeA needed: the temperance ideals of the president of the University of va mont; he states that the time will come when no college professor using liquor and wines on his table will be retained.
 A telling poem, It Couldn't Be Done, with the refrain He Did It. was read A boys composition on prohibition fun of wit and humor brought to a close meeting rich in incident and fact and power to hold the close at tention of those fortunate enough te be present.

YALE FAVORS AMERICAN
 SHELL FOR THE RACE.
Varsity Crew Made Time Row Fri
 day Night in 2e.o3.

An hour after the Harvard crew had gone over the four mile course on the Thames in record time Friday evening, the Yale varsity eight, un- der conditions not to favorable, row. ed the four miles in g mi4utes and 3 seconds. Denman, one of the strong est oarsmen in the shell, was out of his seat because of a slight indisposi- = tion, and his place wos taken by Bug bee, which hade the boat somewhat slower
 The water was choppy at the start and there was heavy swell from the harbor which made it necessary to go upstream further to start. The stroke for the first mile was 34, but it was dropped to 30 and pushed up to 32 for the last mile.
 The freshman crew was waitinf at the three miles mark and with a rac- ing start beat the varsity at the fin- ish by over d length. 4 hotiIia of ten power boats followed the varsity over the course. making swells which sorne- what retarded progress.
 lt is now likely that Yale will dis card it's neH English shell in favor of an Amerieai boat as the former boat does hto ride so easily. Among the visitors today were Pa Carbin. of football fame. and half dozen mem bers of the reunion class of 1897.
