orchestra, had offered the use of the
Island Park pavilion and Manag ger
Williamson had offered to provide free
moving pictures IN case there was rain
enough to preclude the carrying out
of the fair weather program. The Sir
Knights, though they happily We're not
forced to abandon the fair weather
program, were none the less grateful
for the offers made to help in case of
rain.
Red lights burning, bands playing

about the depot, the visiting Comman-

THRONES GATHER TO WITNESS
the ANNUAL HARVARD-YALE
REGATTA AT new LONDON TODAY

New London, Ct, June 24.-The largest
nght-before throng that has gathered in
some years assembled tonight for the an
nual inter-varsity regatta of Harvard
and Yale. BY rail, water and motor car
the hundreds of advance guard specta-
tors descended upon this ancient whal-
ing port until hotels were forced to call
upon private residents to assist in ac-
commodatnS the late arrivals
All Space Occupied
With all rooms engaged, brigades of
supporters were erecting cots in every
available nook and corner and the over
flow was shunted into nearby Gotta ees
Seeming the situation from afar a New
York steamboat company sent orc of its
larger craft to & New London dock to ac-
commodate some OF the surplus tourists.
The streets were crowded with gay
throngs and the Crimson ard Blue were
seen everywhere, while snatches of COL
lege sons rang out from hotel rooms,
clubs and dark corners.
Scenes on fivcr
Scenes of the harbor We're much agin
to those ashore. Yachts of all types
steamed or sailed to anchorages of van
tage during the day and early evening,
and after twilight passed the river blaZed
and twnkled with the lights of several
hundred craft. Well in toward the rail-
road bridge was berthed the Americas
cup defence yacht Resolute. while far out
lay the grim appearing super-dread-
naught Utah awaiting the arrival of Sec
rotary of the Navy Josephus Daniels,
who will arrive aboard the Dolphin for
tomorrow's races. Sandwiched in be-
tween lay the palatial yachts of million,
aires. sailing yawls and motor boats. un-
til in the darkness it appeared as thou ii
one could cross the Thames dry shoj
almost at any point.
Despite the enthusiasm that SUI
rounded the regatta there was a ten
dency to hold predictions and wager
ing on the outcome well in check.

would comfortably fill sides of the riv-
err. IIarvard's double victory in the
scrub races rowed between twilight
and darkness tonight was taken as an
omen of further good fortune in the
real contests of the regatta.
In both the Freshman tours and the
sen,iemans eigk. races TIC Crimson
oarsmen finished we'll ahead Of the
Eli rowers. The Freshmen four race,
rowed over mile course up stream
resulted in a win for Ecrvard's quar-
ter by three lengths. the time being

a mile the Crimson alumni finished one
and one-half lengths in the lead, the
time being Harvard minutes, IL
seconds. Yale 3 minutes, Il seconds.
The Varsity and second squads did
not go out until after the finish of the
Grub races. Both camps sent their
