Each Of these clubs has its own ideas
as to the best conventions. and they
have become a sort OF club etiquette. The
result of q series of matches that would
test these ideas out, one against the

Special Despatch TO THE suS.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, June THE
Yale varsity crew took its first four
mile trial to-day and completed the full
distance in the satisfactory time OF
c1:32. Coach Mather Abbott used his
freshman. the combination and second
varsity shells to pace the varsity oars
men. The freshmen paced the first
milo, the mixed eight paced the second
mile. while the last two miles were
paced by the second varsity.
Tho second varsity crossed the line
half a length ahead OF the varsity. The
trial was held at 4 80 o'clock this after
noon. and the result was considered
encouraging. Among the visitors here
to-day were Al II. Swayne. W. Averill
Hartman and Alfred l.. Aiken. presi-
dent Of the North Shawmut Bank OF
Boston.
All the crews rowed without any
changes. Tomorrow the oarsmen will
leave on excursions, some on Jack
Goetcher's power yacht Blighty and 9TH
ers on II. r. Whitneys yacht.
The holding of the time trial was
something Of a surprise. II was thought
Coach Abbott would take no chances in
causing Peters to break down after his
recent ailment. No times were taken
of any of the crews except the varsity.
The race was held under the best OF
conditions.
The Harvard practice consisted merely
of workouts below their quarters. Capt.
Whitman has an liberated tooth and a
badly swollen cheek. but gamely rowed
to-day. He went to New London to-
night, where an x-ray was taken. The
recently damaged Harvard boat has
been repaired and Is en- route. II is
expected it will reach here Monday.
