HARVARD WON A GREAT RACE , Yale Wan Only In the Oontest to Shut Oat a Default , HER CREW LOST ITS HEAD EARLY , Hlroko nnd N'o. 7 Worn Madly Unttlcd Story of tlio H-.iire O.iy Mocnos tins Clnmlo TliuiiiOH' IJiinkH. Nrw LONDON , Conn. , Juno 20. Harvard won the battle of universities. She won easily and earned the race well. It Is not likely thnt holler , stronger , steadier and moro beautiful rowing has over boon scon by any sot of men over out on the water by any of our colleges. At thu end of the long four-mllo pull the Harvard eight , line terra cotta statutes , nil covered with squirming muscles and shining with their work as tnouuh they had been waxed , seemed as fresh ns when they started. To describe n race so that the most kind nnd willing render may Imagine thnt no snw It , Is not to bo thought of. How shall ono make words to describe n terrible slrugglo of twenty minutes twenty minutes of ceaseless yelling , screaming nnd blow ing of steamboat whistles , twenty wild minutes , during which 2,000 girls with crimson decorations Jumped steadily up nnd down without even thinking of such a thing , M stopping , while crimson men hurt their vocal chords , swore their host oaths , nnd , too wild to bo sordid , forgot to remem ber that. Hush times loomed ahead , and that their little crimson dollar. ) would soon becoming coming homo bringing blue dollars with them. Then how Is unyono to describe these 2,000 girls In blue , blue outside nnd blue inside , rolling blue eyes to heaven , squeezing their little hands together until their tips got blue , but nevertheless heroically shouting comfort to the blue oarsmen whom they loved sopnssionntoly nnd who nulled so hj-nvely nnd hopelessly In the horrid crimson wnko. Could anyone describe those girls I Cer tainty not. And as for the blue young men , if IJossuot of Franco cnmo back from Iho grave ( for ho made n specialty of funeral orations ) ho might make a fccblo attempt to stnggor nl Ihcm. II wan terrible for those blue hoys. Think of knowing thnt your men can't lose , and then having Ihom simply thrashed to pieces. Think of drinking champagne for dinner nnd then nil through the sultry , dusty evenIng - Ing yelling "Any part of $10,000 on Yale1 and then lo wake up to the fact that odds of 1,000,000 to I , though seldom given , could not hnvo been enough , for Yale had been bcnten out of her boots. This Is how the sad thing came nbout. Tlio Thames river , anxious , lilto all rivers , to im press the big ocean with its importance , spreads out wide as it guts down to-Now London nnd muke < a line place for rowing races , Thnt U whore the race came off to day , as It bos done for years. Tlioy Know It Unu Coining. The river was a fine sight. A gentle breeze was blowing up the stream. The tide wns going up , nnd the race therefore wjis lo be UD Iho river instead of down. A Heel of yachts , a grand collection of small boats nnd n fleet of big sound steamboats , nil decorated with gay colors , covered thu rivers' surface , each with it ; * nose pointed up strenm , ready lo follow Iho racing boats or comfortably anchored to see the shells skim by. The stnrt wns to bo made Just above the big railroad , nnd from there up n line of blue nnd crimson lings marked the courso. The nir wns full of excitement. Everyone felt thnlsomolhlng wiis going to happen. Thu Harvard men knew in their bones that they were going to break Yaio's run of Uvo snccossivo victories. Yale fell thnt she wns going to glvo Harvard n sixth successive and unparalleled licking. About the foot of the brldgo supports poor , but gay 'and ' shouting crowds were massed. Along the shore , wherever a view could ho had , farmers in their wagons stood flicking flics from their horses , while their daughters , very pretty , nnd sons , very brown , yelled Just like the /rail beings on Iho yachts. Along the edge of the river there strolchod a most wonderful thing. It was a train of thirty-four flat cars with nn awning nnd rnlscd scats like n little Unrnum's circus on wheels. That was the observation train. At each end of it there wns n locomotive nnd these two locomotives were needed , to drag the wild yolllng crowd that filled every sent. . In the circus. Seats were reserved and highly paid for , and ll was a goodly sight to look upon , cither for nn ordinary lover of gaiety or for n stockholder In the road. Opposite the rowers' qunriers up where the finish was to be , boats and crowds were packed thicker than unywhoro else. When the time cnmo , which was 11 : ! U ) o'clock , a small launch came out from the shore. She carried a blue flag and pulled behind her u racing shell , nnd had the Yale crow on board. From another spot cnmo another launcn. She nlso towed u shell ; she carried the Harvard flag mid the Harvard crow. Twenty-live minutes nftor II found the men throwlni ; off Ihoir loose coats and Jerseys nnd gelling into their boats. Five minutes later , nt almost cxnctly U tfO , tbo referee gives the word and they nro off. Klghl big men , united to the wntst and beautifully reddened by the sun , sat straining every nerve In iheir boats. Htory of the Itaoo. When Iho crows were glvon Iho word Har vard cuughl Iho water flrsl , and setting a fast stroke of forty at once pushed the bow of their boat slightly in front. Yale started with a thirty-eight stroke , and though they put a great deal of power into Ihelr work Iho Yale boat did not move ns qulcltly ns was expected. Harvard held her fnst strokes for n short time , during which she had , 1CU yards from the stnrt , in creased her load to nearly one longth. For a few strides both crows caught the swell and Eplushod quite badly. Then settling down ouch crow gnvo n very prtlty exhibition of rowing. Tlio Harvard * , however , clearly sending their boat along nt n botlor speed thnn they have over Miown in practice , and were gradually crooning away from Yalo. Ynlo's work on the ether hand wai much Inferior to that .scon In their dally practice , nnd there wns n perceptible hang of the boat nftor every stroke. At the half imllo Harvard led by a clear length. All during Iho second half Harvard continued to gain , Hero Iho steamers crowded in on the beau nnd thu swell caused both to do some ragged work for a few Htroueu. Nourlng the ic'.lo ' flag Harvard increased tier lend to nearly Ihree lengths. From the mile to the mlle nnd a half Harvard con tinued to coin foot by foot , and It bocnmo only u question of how many lengths Har vard would defeat Yalo. In the next half Harvard by strong ami steady work Increased her load to nearly six lengths. Yale's boat continued to settle and hang , and It was now n procession. Just after passing the navy yard the tug Cassio got squarely into Harvard's course , and they wcru obliged to mane a wide s worvo. Yale , however , profited little by this Inci dent , and Harvard , geUIng back into their course continued to widen the gap between their bent und that of Yale. At two and a bait miles Harvard had gained an additional thnio lengths , und after passing the threa aud a tinlf mlle flag they bud n good lead of ten lengths , After passing the three and a half mlle flag both crows settled down for a final spurt , aim hero again Harvard showed their super iority In every way over the Now Huvoii crew. Both crows did excellent work , but the Harvard shell continued to show u steady gain , nnd they passed Iho finish pulling forty strokes to the minute wb.Ho the Vale , eleven length ! ) behind , rowed thirty- auveii. Harvard' ' * crow rowed at ouco to tliulr quarters und Yule paddled up to the gutoTho The offlclnls were ; Heferooa , William A. Molklebam , Columbia ; Judge Law run co 10. Soxlou , Harvard ; Deb Coolc , Yale. TimuM , Charles F. Adams , Harvard ; George A. Adoe , Ynlo. Slroko Onr > rn Uattlod. The cause ot Yale's-unexpected and over whelming defeat U found in thn fact that two of her men , the two most important lu the boat. Stroke Gould and Hagarmau No. 7 , were not equal to the occasion und lost their head * . As Harvard began to incroasa their lead near the oud of the tint tulle , It wiu noticed thnt Gould cut his strokes short and pulled with diminished effect. The rest of the cro\v Instead of keeping lima with Gould followed Hagnrman's slroko. After n while llagar- mnn became sllghllv rattled , the result being thnt for the greater part of tbo race the men In waist and bow followed the stroke set by Captain Hrowstor. The difference In the swing on the men wns slight , to bo sure , out slight as it was , It was enough to cause Ynlo's boat to hang porcoptlblv after each stroke , nnd to settle so badly aft that the bow frequently was out of water three or four feet. Both crows were also proatly an noyed by Iho swell from Iho big steamers that followed the raco. In speaking of this point Gcorgo Adco , the well known Yale man , expressed himself most emphatically nnd declared thnt Ynlo ought not to row another race over tbo Thames courso. Mr. Adco refused to criti cise tbo work of tbocrow for publication , but did not deny thai "sovon" or "eight" handi capped tlm balance of the crew. St. John Sheffield , n prominent Ynlo of ficial , did not hesllnto lo any Hint Yaio's work was n great disappointment , nnd that ho rogrollcd very much that either Sims or llrowstor had not been placed at Iho stroke oar. A number of other Yale men declared that Ynlo's crushing defeat wns duo to the fact ihni they were oulrowcd by Harvard. Ilob Cook disappeared down Iho harbor and went to ono of the summer hotels , while the Ynlu crow and tliolr friends boarded the 4 o'clock train for Now Haven. The Harvard crow came down the river at 4 p. m. and headed by standard bearers Hying the two flags they won In loday's event , wont to the I'iquot house , where thny were tonight ten dered a reception.

Mr. and Mrs. IVmuill entertained some friends yoaterdny evening at WoUingham Terrace , mid received today several intimate frionds. Strong impression prevails that Panicll's marnugo will rapidly enable him to uo reinstated as Irish loader in parliament , in splto of the fact that the Catholic clergy will not nccopt the marnngo as condoning his offense. If the feeling in parliament reflects the sentiment of the country , the marriage will become n big political event. No immediate restoration of confidence between - tween I'arnoll and tlio liberal leaders Is pos sible , nor is it probable that the faction fcutl will end without long opposition from his irreconcilable enemies , but tlio marrlngo has deprived his fees of ono of their potent weanons of attack. His moral position ns- sured , political restoration , it is generally believed , becomes n matter of time. Mrs. Parnell talks of leaving Brighton and taking a largo house in London. If she wins tlio probate suit she will bo rich mid nblo to entertain. These knowing her best soy she aims to form n political and artistic salon to crcato which she has capacities. Under her onon advice Mr. Purnell will immediately modify Ills tactics. In the light with the MeCavthyitcs recon ciliation will bo the watchword. Mr. McCarthy has practically withdrawn from the leadership of ills party on nccout of 111 health. Ho has consented , however , nominally to retain the chairmanship until the leadership is settled in the liberation of Messrs. Dillon and O'Crion. Sir William Gordon Cumming's defense in the baccarat case wherein ho proposed to explain - plain how ho was suspected , has been sup pressed by the advice of frionds. Sir Will iam linds his social relations the same ns over. The appearance of Sir William ns n candidate for parliament in the next election is being arranged for. A qulut canvass pro ceeds in favor of nominating him in the con servative Interest. While aristocratic- circles are willing to show themselves oblivious of Sir William's fault , thsre is a popular reaction in tuvor of the prince of Willed. A uioro hearty recep tion never preeted the prince than on the occasion of his public appearances this week.

" When asked If ho in tended to tnko an active part In the Cnrlow election , Mr. Parnell replied : "I shall cer tainly go to Cnrlow ; In fact. I will start to morrow If I can possibly manage to do so. I am confident that wo shall .win. " The elect on U nwy bo stated is the only contest since the O'Shoa divorce proceedings which Mr. Parnoll has had n chance of win ning. IIo will take Mrs. Purnell with him to Carlow if ho can conveniently do so , but Mrs. Parnell is known to bo n bad sailor mid on the other hand she Is compelled to remain near her lawyers owing to the coming trial of the will suit in whlcn she and her brothers nro interested in respect to the Klthom property. Mr. Parnoll intends to devote special at tention to the Irish Industrial question in which ho is more Interested than In any other at present. Recently Mr. Pnrncll has given support to Mr. Balfour's Irish land bill , believing that It Is a well conceived measure nnd that it will bo well carried out. Mr. Parnoll bollovos that the measure referred to will greatly bcnollt both [ ho Irish tonant.1 nnd tlio Irish Inml ownors. In conclusion Mr. Parnull snid that ho in- ornli to visit the United States during ttio coming autumn , being of tlio opinion that Lho sentiment of the Irish nnd Irish-Ameri cans on the other Mdo ot the Atlantic Is In ils fnvor. ilo will try to attend the Irish uitloiml convention to bo held nt Baltimore during the fall.

You do this on the ground that the Chicago & Alton Is not en titled to have the agreement ministered In It * favor nnd it is thcroforo not necessary for you to pans upon the merits of the applica tion. II uppours to mo Unit n decision of this character could ns easily have boon made nt the meeting of the 2'ld Instant when you received my lottorof the 20th nnd ought , in ordinary fairness , to have been made nt the earliest date , and not now. You first sought to delay the hearing until the 25th , and then on being urged , you naiiioit the 2'ld. "To any disinterested outsider all this will have the appearance of being nn effort to cause delay on your part and put us nt a se rious dlsadvnntngo for several days. 1 huvo the pleasure to advise that wo have notified the inlerstato commerce commission that , wo will place In offecl on Monday the following reduced rates : Chicago to St , Louis $0 ; Chi t-ago to Kansas City ? 10 , Kansas Cltv to Chicago cage $10. These rates nro rendered nec essary by mileage tickets , and ex cursion tickets being made practically good to bearer on the lines of our competitors nnd by misuse of one way llcltots from the territory in which wo nro boycotted , such tickels being sold for Iho express purpose of being scalped over Iho lines of our compet itors. "Complete evidence of all this was placed before you nt Ihe meeting of tlio 2Md nnd in communications from lliis office prior to that time. You hud nlso obtained on your own part direct evidence of all this by tests In the market nnd on the trains of our competitors nnd you wefo good enough to explain at Iho meeting to two lines nt least that the man ner in which mileage tickets were manipu lated In violation of the agreement was most unsatisfactory to you. "It was shown nt the meeting that on these lines mileage tickets were mndo prnctl- cally to bearer. The one faro rate named hero between Chicaco nnd Kansas City makes no lower rate for our compjtitors than thov are now making on their own tlckuls , which are sold nl $20 for the round trip und are made practically good to bearer. The reduced one-way rate will not decrease the ravonuo of our competitors and is absolutely necessary for our protection. The same up- plies to the rate from Chicago to St. Louis. "Wo nro unnblo to take any other course as Iho market is loaded with tlckuls at scalpers'- rates and our competitors uro reaping n hnw vest because of our forbearance , on which' they have evidently boon counting too much. Wo hold in reserve"tho right to make n rnlo of W trom St. Louis lo Chicago and $ M from Chicago to Denver contingent upon the be- huvior of our competitors. After this want ing if they full to reform wo shall hnvo lo apply Iho proper remedies. " COMMISSION I'AVI.VO ItlLsfJini ) .

Wo have resumed the payment of commissions ton limited extent but have not violated our agreement with the board of rulings. "Somo of tbo eastern roadu have nol carried out the agreement , and consequently wo have not had that protection which was a condition of our compliance with the request of thu board of rulings. Wo no longer feel bound not to pav commissions to the agents of these roads , which are six or seven in number and confined to the Central Traffic iissocmlion territory.
