(By Telegraph.)
NEW LONDON. CONN., Juno 2:'..?
The great inter-collegiate aquatic con?
tests, which for months have been
lo iked forward to by thousands of col?
lege youths and their friends, and for
which this historic old whaling town
made su. h preparations, look place to?
day and the results again place Cornell
on the pedestal of fame as the champ?
ion university crow of America, and to
the freshmen of Vale belongs the honor
of success in the triangular race with
he youngsters of Harvard and Cornell.
I.y today s victories and defeats the
prophets are m>t entirely without
Honor, lor in the 'Varsity contest the
?Jeers named the winner in advance. In
?he freshmen race, however, those who
.magined themselves peculiarly cndow
?I wilh prophetic gift found at the end
?I lie- battle that thei.- "sure thing"
?ad go.i w.< m. and Unit. , ouirary to
ilmosl universal expectation, the Itha
:an novitiates were rolegaled to last
place, while He- Urst year men from old
? outdid i heir 'Varsity colleagues
and took as pretty a victory as ever
was won.
The tw,, races were strikingly incon?
sistent wilh each other in that the one
?tan.Is out as a perfect antithesis of the
oilier. The university race, which was
rowed down stream al 12::;n this aft. r
1.was a procession of the first
class, while ihe freshmen contest was a
bailie royal from tie- crack of the pis
'"I to the I,.ning of the gun at the
finish lino.
Tie- first race was uninteresting, .x
?pl io Oornollians after the first quar
?i of a mile had been rowed. Vale
ecilled a slight lead al the start, but
was taken away by Cornell Mi this
point and Courtney's men were not
again headed.
Tie- eight of fair Harvard was never
in the race and labored over the cour.-e
to finish a. |.r third, eleven long boat
lengths behind the champion New
Volkers and seven to the stern of her
historic old rivals of Vale. Prettier
form ami wntorshlp has never been
seen in America than that exhibited
by Culson and his Cornell crew
throughout the four miles of the race.
Scarcely u splash was lo he seen from
red and while lipped oars which swept
through lb.- waters at Ihe muscular in?
stall.' the Cayuga experts. Their
spoils were linn-ly. conservative and
uniformly successful, and always with
an evident reserve strength and force.
Ii was lb.- convltion of every fair
minded person who witnessed ihe race
that Cornel! might easily have won by
a greater margin. The work of Yale.
Ihe second crew, is callable of charac?
terization as first-class, when not sub?
ject.-,l i,, th,. deadly paralell with Cor?
nell. The Yale eight, a splendid con?
tingent, rowed in good form through?
out the. race, but spurts were unavail?
ing against the ubiquitous responses
forthcoming from their clever rivals of
upper New York. Harvard was never
a factor in the running. The Cam
\ bridge men pulled a long, clean stroke,
but it lacked propelling power and far
| Iber ami farther behind lagged the
I crimson shell, until hope of victory
vanished and it became wilh the des
i pondent sympathizers merely a ques?
tion of "bow much'.'" Cornell natural?
ly finished in a superb style, and after
tin- race rowed majestically up the
river two miles lo their quarters. The
Vale oarsmen showed some signs of fa?
tigue. Inn Captain Whitney was the
only man of the crew who appeared to
proueh ihe point of collapse. The
plucky captain had all but rowed him?
self out, but recovered quickly.' Har?
vard llnished surprisingly strong. She
afforded the rather unusual spectacle
of a crew looking into the jaws of over?
whelming defeat ami still pulling fresh?
ly and vigorously across the last line
of the colllCSt.
The twenty-four mc* were all in goal
physical condition, with Cornell's eight
a irifle the littest and Yale the worst
off in this respect. The strokes rowed
-eel,led to eslahlisli beyond a reasona?
ble contention that to Courtney goes
the palm. Hob i 'ook's ideas certainly
; seem superior lo those taught by Mr.
Lehmann, Harvard's English coach.
I and it is tonight predicted that next
j year will witness adaptations by both
Vale and Harvard of strokes more
I m arly appr.-hing the purely Ameri?
can . volution of Cornell's triumphant
instructor. The time of the winning
! crew as given by the race officials was
2:! minutes ami is seconds, th.' slowest
I time made in a university race for sev?
eral vehrs. bin this is attributable to
a head wind ami the fact that Cornell
was not forced. Vale crossed the finish
line 14 seconds behind the champions
while the trailing Harvard eight rested
on their oars 22 seconds later.
If the university race of the early
afternoon was tame as a contest the
freshman race, which was started at
r.:(i::. was thrilling to the last degree.
Every yard ..l" the course was fought
viciously, and Ihe result was in doubl
until the second Vale rushed across the
line Ihe winner in the official' time of
11:22 2-fi. Due hundred yards from the
.-ml it was Yale. Cornell and Harvard
and everyone looked for a finish in that
order.
Vol.- spurted and maintained her ad?
vantage, hut Cornell was not equal to
the strain and at the last moment Har?
vard, in a desperate effort, shot ahead
of the Cornell youngsters .and crossed
half a length behind Yale, with the
nose of the fthnean shell lapping the
crimson boat.
Of the spectators much or little may
be said. The disagreeable weather,
which ruined the pleasure of the thou?
sands who came to witness the 'Varsity
race yesterday, so dampened their en?
thusiasm that the 'Varsity race today
was viewed by hundreds less than were
present yesterday. A conservative es?
timate of the number of race-goers
places it at fi.OOft.
