BY the Associated Press

London, Aug. 25.--The reply Of the
Irish Republican Cabinet to Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges letter of Au-
gust 13, in which Lloyd George denied
1reland's right to secession and de-
clined to refer the question of the re-
lations between Southern and Northern
Ireland to foreign arbitration. was re-

Prime Minister'S official residence, at
o'clock this afternoon.
The reply was presented By Com
mandant Robert Barton, Of the irish
Republican army. He was accompanied
by Art O'Brien. president of the Gaelic
League in London, and by Commandant
Joseph McGrath. ct was Commandant
Barton who on August II brought the
reply Of Eamon de Valera to the Prime
Minister'S original offer of dominion
status to Ireland.)

Irish Republican cabinets reply to the
letter OF Prime Minister Lloyd George
of August 13 leaves IAN unmistakable
opening" for o continuation OF the peace
negotiations. according to one who has
seen the text.
The reply was completed by the Irish
Republican Parliament in secret session
here today and dispatched to London.
Assertion has been made in some
quarters that the reply would not ac'
cept terms Of settlement laid down by
Prime Minister Lloyd George. but
would not utterly reject them. 1t was
intimated that the note to the British
Government would develop arguments
relative to the situation which would
probably result in new negotiations,
and there seemed 10 be disposition 70
look with optimism over the probable
ity of renewed exchanges between Lon
don and Dublin. There was reason to
believe that the truce in Ireland would
be extended until an agreement was
reached.
Members Of this committee returned
to their districts last night to keep the
organiza ton active, but under instruc-
tions that the Irish Republican army
must not break the truce. A large
number of people are in town for the
purpose Of attending tomorrow 8 public
meeting. and the applications for seats
far exceed the capacity of the hall In
the Mansion House.

(By International News Service).

(By International News Service).
 NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June 25. - Sixty.six years ago next July Yale and Harvard started their time hallowed struggle for supremacy on the water, and Harvard won.
 Yesterday with honors evenly divid- ed between them after more than three score years of rowing competi. tion, the Blue and Crimson eoarsmen of the rival universities renewed their annual struggle on the rolling waters of the Thames in their fifty-third re. gatta, and Yale won.
 Out of fifty-two races, the first of which was rowed July 21, 1855, Yale scored twenty-six victories against a like number for Harvard. whose stal wart oarsmen evened up the score by leading badly beaten Yale eight to the finish line last year by more than eight boat lengths.
 Despite the fact that neither Yale nor Harvard has shown flashy form in previous races this year, interest in the race was at a fever heat as usual. The crews of the rival schools are always pointed especially for this one race, and, regardless of what for tune they meet in other events in any season, there is generally battle roy al when they pull away from the start 1 ing line.
 New London put on it's gala attire for the big event of the year. Yale and Harvard banners waver every where, and every incoming train, many of which were specials from Boston New York and other points, brough hundreds of spectators.
 | Pleasure craft of every description dotted the river, decks crowded by so ciety~ folk, and mast and flagpoles flying streamers in profusion. Hotels and restaurants were crowded. Root CTS from New Haven and Cambridge thronged the streets and the hotel lob bies, mingling with old grads iron both schools, and just plain rowing fans, many of whom came hundred! of miles to watch the regatta
 Harvard's varsity crew was sligh favorite in the early betting, and tn, Yale contingent was none too enthus iastic, for Guy Nickall's oarsmel proved disappointment agains Penn, Columbia, Cornell and Prince ton over the Henley distance of tw' miles, and what they might be abl to accomplish over the four-mil course no one could foretell.
 With English shells, oars, thole-pin and rigging, Coach Nickalls had every thing in the way of apparatus to hi liking for the first time, and his crev used the English stroke.
