VAI.R BADI.V BEATEN PECTEDLV. IINEX- The RlggeM Money Was) on Vale. Rut Harvard Wat Ahead From the Start and Held Thai Position to the End. New London, Kmc 26. The conditions for the Yale-Harvard bout race this morning could hardly be improved. The waters showed scarcely a ripple and a very light breeze was blowing. Harvard won by about eleven lengths This was the sixteenth annual four mile cight-onrcd straight nway race between the Yule and Hurvnrd University crews nnd was rowed over the Thames course from Wiuthrop int to Gales ferry, and was won, as stated above, by Harvard by 11 lengths, time 21:23; Yale's time, 21:57. The record now stands: Yale, 0 victories and 7 defeats; Harvard, 7 vic tories and !) defeats. Yale hold the time record. Harvard's plucky yictory lathe biggest snprise that has occurred in college ath IceticB for many yean. Good jndges of rowing conceded the race to Yule and so strong was this sentiment In favor nf Yale that the stakes of Yale money left nt the poolrooms went un covetcd cveu nl offers of $100 to $), Harvard took the lead at start and as they forged ahead with a rush the crim son supporters or the observation train and innumerable steamers became frantic with excitcnicut which, as Harvard con tinued to guin a comniaading lead, con tinued lo increase. As the excitement spread, some very reckless work was doue by the various steamboat captains. There were two col lisions, and that there were ao serious results was simply a matter of good luck. Two miles up the river the tug boat ' psy ran into the sitleof the press boat, I he shock throwing twenty-hve or fifty a'oplc olT their feet. At a finish where the channel was crowded with all sorts ol cralt, the press boat 111 trying loavoid collision wilh I be steamer Rhode Island, struck the tug America a hard hump amidships, knocking many people sprawling over the decks. 1'ortunatclv no one went overboard, anil no one were seriously injured. 1 he scenes at the finish were of the most noisy character, the Harvard men down the river toward the stake lioats, Harvard paddling in their shcil and Harvard pnmiling 11 Yale in their launch. into position at 11:3: embarking nt the flout Harvard backed 31 and Yale, after ng at the float came into place at u:(i. 1 lie crews were at once ci.U' , .; , iioiiiu nun given nic wura. narynra cauht t,,c wu,tr fir,t nnd setting the fast stroke of forty ,pua.l , L I, ... ,,e , u.: strokes the Yale boat did not move ns qtiieklynswusexnectcd.

Ncaring the mile Hag, Harvard pulling :I6 and Yale ,'11, iiatl increased their lead lo near ly three lengths. The time at the mile was Harvard !01; Yale 511. From the mile to thc mile nnd a half Harvard con tinued to gain foot by loot and it be came a question of how many lengths Harvard would defeat Yale. Afler passing the 3'i mile flag, both crews settled down for a final spurt, and here again Harvard showed her supeii ority. Hoth crews were doing excellent work, but Harvard's shell continued to show a steady gain, and they passed the i finish, pulling fortystrokes to the minute, while Ynlc, eleven lengths behind, rowed tbirry-seven.
