EIrst Harvsrd.Yale Boat Race.

The annual Harvard-Yale boat race
had its beginning In the desire OF a
young American railroad to advertise
itself. A traffic manager conceived the
idea that II Lake WiDnipesaukee, on
the line Of the then Concord d Mon
treal railroad, were selected for boat
rece between the two colleges, the
event would advertise the railroad and
be well worth encouraging, says Chris
tan Science Monitor. Meeting the
Yale oarsrnen one day on the train,
he suggested the race. and as a result
Yale issued a challenge to Harvard,
which Harvard accepted. The railroad
company paid the expenses OF the
crews, and Harvard won the prize, a
pair Of black walnut sculls, more or
namental than useful, but serving to
set In motion what has become IL
nous intercollegiate sport.

At the edge Of the clearing Wallen

And then suddenly a mist dimmed
Wallen's e,es. He tried to shout
back-and could only wave his own

Twenty miles across the island be-

Wallen fell to wondering what sort
of ship and, more pertinent still.
what sort of skipper was on the ship
that had put into Pobi. He had re-
