Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 15.--Under conditions which were very much the same for both crews, the University and Yale eights had time trials yesterday, the former covering the four mile course in 21 minutes and 34 seconds, the latter in 21 minutes and 13 seconds. The tide favored both boats, but was slightly stronger when the Eli crew went over the course.

After completing the four-mile course, and short time was spent in practising starts...
