POSTMASTER PRATT IN
HARNESS FOR JUST NINE
YEARS ON MAY FIRST

On May 1, 1905. Postmaster Pratt
took up the reins of office in Homo
lulu and, just nine years to the day
later, heard of the appointment of his
successor.
Speaking. OF the matter this morn
ing Mr.. Pratt remarked that it was
a strange coincidence. He said that
although he vas appointed in Febru-
airy, 1905, he did not qualify till May
l of the same year.
In those days." said Mr.. Pratt, "a
postmaster had to qualify and get his
bondsmen locally. Nowadays a man
can get a surety company bond any
where in the States and then come
straight down to take office. My sue
cessor can, if he wishes to, qualify,
get his bonds on the mainland and
walk directly into office as soon as he
arrives in Honolulu"

NEW HAVEN CELEBRATES
 YALE CREWS VICTORY
Crew and Coaches in TaIIyho Coach,
 Greeted with Cheers and Redfire.

New Ga~s, Conn., June 1S.-Yaie enthusiasm pent up for seven long yeaIs by reason of heart-brealdng re- verses on the Thames river, broke out in a riot of jubilation tonight as the victorious crew came into this city. Thousands of townspeople besieged the railroad station and returning Yale men added to the number until the crowd swarmed over the open spaces near the train sheds. With ringing cheers and b:dze of red fire the crewmen, coaches and prominent old graduates were greeted. A column with band was immediately formed, the crew and coaches given places on led through the city to the home of President Hadley in Whitney avenue. great mass of people swept in the wake of the student body, to the cadence of a swelling chorus of Yale songs.
 At President Hadley' 'shouse the taI- ly-ho drew up to the curbstone The president stepped out upon his porch and surveyed the sea of faces Cheer after cheer greeted him. Then silence was secured and President Hadley said:
 Men of Yale. especially men of the Yale crew: I haven't much in the way of speech, bull would not be a Yale man if l did not say something on an occasion like this. You have won a boat race and I might say that while it is gratifying to win a race it is more pleasing to have won a hard fought race: and more than that you have won a hard race after a run of adverse fortune. To win under these conditions makes the result more sat isfactory. To win it was necessary for the crew and coaches to get to- gether- The victory shows that the crew and coaches did get together The victory has brought out the fact that Yale men can get together and having got together we are going to stay together'
 There were more cheers for Presi- dent Hadley. for the crew and for Ap- pleton, who stroked the crew. Then the crowd swept on, through the streets in the college section, swarm ing over the campuses lighting up the buildings with the glare of red fire until the hotel was reached in which the victorious oarsmen sat down to a banquet. After the feast there were speeches and toasts lasting well into the night

YALE CREW WINS CRUELrlNC RAGE

Norwich bulletin., 1914-06-20
Continued from Page One,

Half way to the finish Yale had re- gained her three quarters length lead, despite the fact that Harvard was rowing four strokes to the~ minute faster.
 Between the two and half and three mile flags the shells ran into claoppy water, and both hung badly between strokes.
 At Last Quarter Yale Led by Two
 Seconds
 With the last quarter of the race, to De covered. Yale had an advantage of two seconds. and both strokes pre- pared for the final spurts which they knew were coming. The boats had drawn closer together now and cox swains and oarsmen could get heeting glimpses of their rivals as they swung back and forth over the handles of the long sweeps.
 Spurt.
 Just before the three and half mile flags came into view Coxswain Sargent of the Harvard crew called for a squirt. Stroke Chanler and the men at his back responded nobly and under the impulse of 3S strokes to the min ute the crimson racer ate up the dis tance until Chanler was rowing oppo- site to Sheldon. Yale's No. f. Apple ton raised the Yale stroke to 36, and inch by inch the shell of the Yale crew regained its lost distance until 400 yards from the finish flags the two crews were again on even terms. Shells Alternate in Lead in Last Few
 Yards.
 During these last few yards the Is oarsmen swung backward and forward on their slides, gripping the water, rowing through and feathering almost as one. First one shell and then the other would dart ahead under the smashing drive of the blades, only to slip back again on the recovery, while the rival craft flashed momentarily to the front. In the final fight for that four-inch advantage the two crews held their rowing form in splendid and impressive fashion. and the two shells rushed across the line as though driven by motors, Chanler stroking SS for Harvard to Appleton's 36 for Yale. And when the uncertainty and excite ment had passed and the official time keepers secured an opportunity to an- nounce the times of the competing crews it was seen that the hands of the split second watches had recorded the race just as thrillingly as the eye had conveyed it to the thousands of cheer ing, fag-waving spectators who watch ed the struggle from shore and train, as will be seen by the following fig uraS.

HARVARD WINS TWO
 RAcEs IN MORNING
Easily Capture Second Varsity and
 Freshman Eight Events.

New London. June 1s.--Harvard crews opened the annual regatta against Yale In a most suspicious manner. Yesterday afternoon the Crimson won the four cared race from the Blue oarsmen in impressive fashion. This morning the Cambridge men won the eight-oared event for the junior crew by seven lengths and the freshman eight-oared contest by four lengths of open water These two minor events developed into one-sided contests shortly after starting in each race
 Once the Harvard crew had gained the lead they set the pace for the full two miles and the Eli men never proved dangerous, although they cha1- lenged gamely at the half way mark. In each case however, the Harvard oarsmen responded and held their lead across the line in better physical condition than their rivals. The ofh- cial time taken on board the regatta committee boat at the finish of the was: Harvard 11.34: Yale 1902.
 Freshmen eight, two miles: Harvard 11.45: Yale 12.04.
 In the freshmen eight the Yale men made better showing. Both eights got away at 40-to-the-m minute tered and splashed water badly. Har- ward jumped to the front at the end of the first mile and pulled in good form. Harvard was a length in front at the end of the half mile. Coming down the lane between the yachts Yale made a last desperate effort to- jump the stroke to 36 but this was without any perceptible gain, for Har- yard won by four lengths. Most of their rivals were badly pumped out at the finish. Gamble at No 3 and liar riman No. ,, were completely exhaust ed and other members of the crew had hardly strength enough to sit up as the shell drifted under the railroad bridge below the finish.

No Protest.

After the crews had recovered and padded back to their training quar- ters there was some excited talk re- garding the possibility of protest from Harvard's adherents, but those in charge immediately squelched the idea, stating that Yale had won a splendid race fairly and was entitled to all the honors that go to the victors.

Harvard's Captain Praises Vale.

Captain Reynolds of the Harvard crew said: 'The crew rowed we'll and the boat felt well. We all feel that Yale won a great race and deserved all the credit"
 And so after seven lean years dur ing which time not a varsity four mile race fell to Yale's share and several times Harvard swept the river, the Blue floats about the Crimson tonight and YaieS sons are celebrating the greatest victory of many regatta years and celebrating with added vim and vigOr, since it came when the clouds were darkest and after Harvard had won the first two events and appeared to be headed toward another triple victory. So Yale undergraduates and alumni are singing the praises of their alma mater and the 1914 crew in chorus that fills all New London while Harvard viewing with pride her row ing record of the past six years smiles in tolerance and thinks of the years to come.
 Denegre Reelected Captain of Yale
 Grew.
 And while the students celebrated. the Yale oarSmen accorded Captain Thomas B. Denegre of the victorious Blue, leader without a place in the boat which made history for Yale unanimous reelection as leader of the 1915 crew. It was a tribute to the self sacrifice of the captain who had given up his seat that a stronger man might pull a more formidable oar
