New London, Conn., June 29.?Har?
vard won all of the boat races to-day
~three vic tories over Yale In 3 hours?
nnd the western sky plowed crimson
this evening when the Harvard 'varsity
crew pulled over the finish line six and
a half lengths ahead of Yale. After
eight years of defeat the students ot
Cambridge ure tasting U'c sweets of
success.
HARVARD WINS ALL RACES.
Harvard's university eight won front
Yale over n four mile course by-six and
a half lengths In 20 minutes and 52
seconds.
Harvard's freshmen eight won from
Yale over :t L.W0 mile course by two and
a half lengths in 9 minutes and 33Vs
^seconds.
Harvard's substitute four won from
Yale over a two mile course by six
lengths In 10 minutes and 51 seconds.
ENGLISH STROKES MODIFIED.
The Harvard crews rowed a modifi?
cation of the English stroke, coupled
with some features of the stroke pull?
ed toy Wisconsin and Coach MeCon
vllle, of Wisconsin, who saw the race,
said:
"If Harvard's crew in to-day's form
had been at Poughkeepsie, I am afraid
she would have given us all a hustle

there.
IDEAL WATER AND WIND.
The rnces were rowed In almost ldoah
water and wind, and under clear skips.
The course was badly policed, boats
getting Into the lanes nnd steamers
kicking up swells after the race had
started. Harvard In the 'Varsity race
very nearly collided with a number of
small boats at the finish, and a heavy
swell Impeded Yale.
The 'Varsity race was prettily row?
ed, but the defeat was crushing. Yale,
however, rowed gamely to the finish,
and neither crew showed signs of dis?
tress.
The contest between the substitutes
constituting the. 'Varsity fours was,
like the 'Varsity eight race, a proces?
sion, with Harvard six full lengths
ahead at the ilnlsh. The freshman ef?
fort was a mighty and splendid one up
to the last eighth of a mile, when Har?
vard's superior staying powers, coupled
with an unfortunate obstruction of the
course of the Yale youngsters by a
large steamer, worked for Harvard's
advantage and sent the 10O2 men or
Harvard across the line two lengths
ahead of Yale. Roth of these races
were postponed from the forenoon and
?were rowed about an hour aftor they
had been scheduled for the afternoon.
BUT LITTLE BETTING.
There was little or no betting.
The races preliminary to the 'Varsity
simply served to whel the spectators'
appetite.
The forenoon plans called for the
rowing of both races upstream, but the
rowing of these races In the afternoon
made it necessary to pull down stream
In all three races.
Harvard had by the fates been al?
lotted the eastern course and Yale had
the western lane.
The time of the four-oared race was:
Harvard, 10:51; Yale, ,11:06.
THE FRESHMEN'S RACE.
The freshman race was a beautiful
one. Yale had e lead throughout
until the last few hundred yards, when
the Yale boat shipped barrels ot water
und was almost swamped by the swash
from a big steamer. It was at this
point that Harvard snatched victory
from defeat.
The time was a record-breaker on the
Thames, Harvard winning In 9 minutes
33M: seconds; Yale, 9 minutes, 40 sec?
onds.
About a quarter past 6 o'clock the
Yule 'Varsity crew left, the float at
, Broadview, closely- followed by the
oarsmen of Harvard f join ? Red Top.
Three minutes later-the'men bad re?
ceived their Instructions front the ref?
eree's yacht; hod backed }nto their po?
sitions at the start, and were waiting
for the word.
BOTH CREWS READY.
With extreme caution Referee Melk
^eham assured himself, that \>o\.)\ crews
*were ready, and with a hist warning
query, "Are you ready?" fired the pistol
shot which sent the two crews, onj tn the
big.race of the day; The. water was as
calm and placid-as-an Inland lake. The
crews rowed, as usual,, in.llaggucj lafjea,
the blue occupying the eastern course,
the crimson the western/,* Yale caugh't
the water first, but HarVsTrd was a close
second, nnd the two eights starred out
on their long journey practically on
even terms. With perfect rhythm the
,? two crews fell Into strokes at unison.
. .HARVARD TAKES THE LEAD.
Reaching down for the mile flar the
Yale . coxswain swerved slightly from
his true course, and directly after the
mile flags had been passed Harvard
took the lead, which she was not to
surrender throughout the race.
In the next half rail? this lead was
Increased to a full length. Yale art pt
ecl a soccUler stroke, but she could not
overcome Harvard's lead.
Reaching for the tinish flag the tide
caught tin? Harvard shell and swerved
it woefully. The little coxswain had
his head about him, however, and with
Kreut skill worked his way back Into
line and shot down toward the judgos'
boat.
Harvard crossed the finish line In a
whirlwind, rowing beautifully, six and
u half lengths t?j the good- Yale finish?
ed in fairly good shape, but her men
wit.' somewhat depressed. In terms of
minutes Harvard bail won her grand
race In 20 minutes. 62V4 seconds, while
Yale crossed the line in 21 minutes, 13
seconds.

Monday night, is In Jail. She received
a numbi r of visitors to-day, Including
hi r ilil father, from Farmvllle, Mr. R.
A. Alii n, one of the best-known citizens
of that place. She was calmer to-day,
but she broke down when her father

A SINGULAR FEATURE.
A singular feature of the case Is that
it Is believed Mrs. Ellis does not realize
that she stands charged with a fearful
crime. Her grief seems concentrated In
herself and she Is grief-stricken be?
cause she must live without the chltd.

hopeless misery of the young woman.
