...race at New London on the 27th of last June does not need description. The only dramatic situation was at the start, which was made at dusk after a delay of nearly three hours. Then Yale caught the water at the word "two," and this advantage gave her the lead for a second and a half. After that time Harvard pulled steadily away from Yale, and increased the lead during each mile. She won by a difference of one minute and forty-three seconds, making the four miles in 22.15, - a loss upon last year's time, which...

Huidekoper walked extremely well, and has had very hard luck in being ruled out at the Columbia Sports for running, and in losing the second prize in the Intercollegiate Sports; since to the incompetency of Mr. Bauermeyer...

...signal was given for the contestants to appear. Livingstone was soon seen pushing off from the float of the Quinsigamond Boat Club, and only a few minutes elapsed before the Harvard representative pulled up from O'Leary's boat-house and took his position at the start. Livingstone had the choice of positions, and took the east shore, which gave him little or no advantage. At 5.18 P.M. the men were started. Livingstone took the water first, and with a short, quick, but powerful stroke shot ahead of his competitor. Goddard bent to his work at the rate...
