Not only did Harvard win all three races, but in two of them, the varsity freshman events, standard bearers established new In beating the ty by taree and a half lengths this evening, the big crew from Cambridge set a new mark for the four-mile course, at 20.02. For twenty-eight years the old record of 20.10 set by F, A. Steven- son's Yale eight of 1888, had with- stood all assaults. While Yale's big boatload was beaten, it gained some consolation from its own time, 20.17 which also was inside the former mark. In the freshman race in the morn- ing the Harvard colts won by 1wo- thirds of a length in 4 3-5 as against the best previous standard of 9.37 1-5, placed on the books by Yale winners of nearly a decade ago. Yale was timed today in 9.39. The junior var- dty contest rowed immediately after the freshman duel, went to the Crim- fon by one and a quarter lengths, in 10.26. Yale was caught in 10.27. All the races were, for the first time in many years, rowed down stream, with the finish off the railroad bridge. Harvard Leads From Start.

Harvard was quick to take note of its rival's condition and hit up into a sprint which gave it its fastest half mile. Yale rowed the last two miles rather wobbly condition Cord Meyer of New York, at No. 7, was in pa ticularly poor shape and splashed his way all through the second half of the contest.

The rivals met beyond the bridge, and the Yale oarsmen threw their shirts to their conquerors.

Tt was 5.50 when the varsity crews were sent away, out beyond the Har- vard quarters at Red Top. There was scarcely a ripple on the river when at the word they plunged their blades into the Thames for that pre- being first off the mark. Harvard got the jump, and was about a quarter of a length in frent when the crews had gone a hundred vards and had settled down from furious forty to a thirty- four for the Elis and thirty-two for Harvard. At the half-mile mark Harvard’s form and Harvard's lead of a half length, which gave every promise of growing rapidly, struck forehoding into the hearts of the EIli supporters. They cheered loud and long, but there was something in their cheers that gave them the sound of en- treaties to a loser. Elig Start a Spurt. It was Harvard by three-quarters of a length at the mile, and ths Crim- son was rowing very easily at 31 strokes to the minute, with Yale down to Then Yale began to come up. realized that this was the stag: at which the Crimson was, if possible, to be beaten, and it hit the stroke up to 33. The Eli shell nosed nearer the Crimson bow, but Harvard, too, came through with a sprint that 1y gained a quarter of a length for Yale. But the mile-and-a-half station saw the Crimson still setting a very healthy pace, three-quarters of a length in the van. Half way down the course the Cam- bridge crew was in front by a half length of open water. Then Yale fouled the stake, and with that mis- hap went whatever little hope the ! Elis still nurtured. Yale tried to re- gain some of its distance by putting it up to a 32, while Harvard was trav- eling at a 30, but the Johnnies per- sisted in adding to their advantago.

A report from Bucharest states that the Russians have taken possession of two rail- ways leading from Rumania into Bukowina. The information that the Germans and Austrians are bringing up rein- farcements from the French and Ttalian fronts is also given in the communication from Petrograd. Ac- cording to speculations in Parls, the tornado af artillery fire on the Verdun sector and the attacks in Champagne are supposed to mask the transfer of troops from this front to the Russian front in view of the necessity of stemming the Russian advance toward Kovel. By means of forced marches along the Rumanian frontier the Russians have reached the extreme south of Bukowina, and at Kuty on the north and Gurahumora on the south have | approached the thickly forested spurt of the Carpathian Mountains. A good road, roughly abaut 100 miles long rung through narrow valleys and gorges from Gurahumora by way of Kimpolung and Dorna Watra to Bis- tritz, Hungary, offering the Russian ! make any serious stand here, guerrillag an excellent opening | their enemy's country. The Russians in their pursuit of | Avstrians thus far have crossed fo| rivers—the Dneister, Pruth, Sered and Suczava. Two days sufficed cover the fifteen miles between t| Sereth and the Suczava. The objd tive of the Russians was Radau where the Austrians were expected offer stubborn resistance, owing the fact that the river forms natural defensive line to the no and northeast of the town. But appears that the Austrians failed in: much as no fighting is described the official communications. Radautz is only five miles sou west of the important rallway juj t'on of Hadikfalva, clase to Rumanian frontier, which also Is Russlan hands. Virtually the ent railway system of Bukowina is n in the possession of the Russians. COLLECTING BACK TAXES.
