curious circumstance incidentally
noted By Professor Ball was that some OF
the mosquitoes arriving from Florida were
OF the species called Aedes sOIAcitdHs-the
migratory salt-marsh galinipper with
striped legs that Is the Jersey skeet par
excellence and which, flying far inland,
makes itself a nuisance over thousands OF

< coastal region.
The results OF the scientific researches OF
Professor Bail are OF farresching import
ance. Many towns and cities have lately
made appropriations for clearing up local
swamps and marshes 70 rid the neighbor-
hood OF mosquitoes. A great deal OF money

the pest has not been fully ersdicated.

We have all heard about the mosquitoes

floats about until Matching time arrives.
But II is only some species that do that.
In the Catskill region. and elsewhere among

Varsity Crews Of Yale and Harvard
Meet in Great Contest This Afternoon
The First Contest Between These Great Colleges Was in 1852
and Was Won by Harvard Since That Time Each
College Has Won twenty-five Contests

lihood of the outpouring of the gaily
dressed throngs, which sweeping down
upon New London in other seasons
made the boat race one of the features
of the college year.
While the Housatonic course has
never been used for an inter-varsity
race it has been tested by Yale crews
and found to be generally satisfactory.
/ The river is not particularly wide or
deep but affords ample space for two
crews for considerable stretches.
| A railroad parallels the course on
one side and trolley line on the
other, afording means for observation
trains to follow the crews when con-
ditions warrant these moving grand
stands.
i In some respects the race today will
resemble those of the earlier DAYS of
the dual regattas of Harvard and
Yale. The first contest between the
loarsmen of these two universities was
ia two mile contest rowed on Lake
Winnepesaukee in 1852 and was won
by Harvard In 1855 and 1859 the
crews rowed on the Connecticut river
using three-mile course consisting of
| a mile and half stretch with a turn.
Races on Lake Quinsigamond follow
1 ed. In 1872 the crews rowed on the
!, Connecticut river and later ON Lake
Saratoga. 1t was not until 1873 that
the annual regatta was moved to the
Thames at New London and the dis
lance heightened to four miles.
All told Harvard and Yale have
rowed exactly fifty varsity races since
the initial contest Of 1852, and strange
Ito say, the score at the end Of the
1916 regatta, when Harvard swept the
river at New London, stood even, each
university having won twenty-five
contests. It was also strange coin
cidence that the Harvard eight of 1916
should have established new record
of 20rl., 2 S., for the four miles in
what may be the last race for several
years over this historic course Last
season the entry of America into the
war caused the abandonment of the
scheduled aquatic contests, and to-
days races are strictly a wartime
substitute for the usual regatta, which
in recent decades has been looked up
on as the collegiate rowing classic Of
the New World.

New Haven, Conn, June 1.-The
varsity eight-oared crews of Yale and
Harvard universities will meet on the
Housatonic river near here late this
afternoon in the fifty-first dual regat-
ia between these famous collegiate RI
walls since the institution of the initial
race in 1852. Never, however, in the
long history of this aquatic classic,
which corresponds in many respects to
the Oxford Cambridge boat races Of
England, has the regatta been held
under similar conditions.
In wartime atmosphere and with
the contest shorn of all of its gala
glamour the sixteen oarsren will pro-
pei the long racing shells over a new
course which has never heretofore
been the scene of a varsity boat race
big or little. In place of the four
mile gruelling struggle, which has
been staged annually upon the Thames
river at New London for many years
to the accompaniment of thousands Of
cheering spectators and the screaming
sirens of hundreds of palatial steam
yachts, the sweep swingers will drive
their crafts through two miles of still
river water which has never been
graced by racing Fights in the past,
While the regatta will undoubtedly
be witnessed by several thousands Of
