New Haven, June 6.-Many good

ties of both Yale and Harvard for tn e
Housatonic river course, which was
tried out for the Yale-Harvard var
sity two mile race last Saturday, in

yale News yesterday. Among those
who approved of the course were
Referee w. A Meikelham, A. H
Swayne, judge and timer; Coach
Mather Abbott, Of the Yale crew, and
Coach Haines, of Harvard.
The use of the Housatonic river for
a race draws attention here, however,
Ito the possibility of a course further
|up that stream which may be avail
liable within two years. The river is
being damned for industrial pur-
poses at Zoar's bridge, and when the
NEW basin is filed there will be a lake
at least half a mile wide and eleven
