Harvard Wins Freshman Eight and Yale the 'Varsity Four. New London, Conn., June 29.—Har- vard won the freshman eight by one- and a half lengths and Yale the 'var- sity four-oared boat race by perhaps ten lengths on the morning tide on the Thames river and the result con- firmed predictions. Coming with the great victory of the Yale 'varsity elght the win of the four was a source of gratification to Yale men and an evidence of the effi- clency of Coach Kennedy’s training. It was an easy race for the blue to win, while the freshman race was a hard one for Yale to lose and corre- spondingly a triumph for the Cam- bridge youngsters. The races were worth the seeing. > Both races were up stream on the incoming tide, in smooth water, and both were rowed in slow time. It was Harvard strength in the freshman and lack of it in the fouroared which made the results as they were. BUTTE MAIL CARRIERS QUIT - Declare They Cannot Live gn Present Scale of Wages.
