The plan worked admirably, reduc- ing the duties of the Committee on Credentials to about nothing, and yet bringing in abundant en- ‘tries, From almost the very first the sole manage- Ment and control of these races was vested in the | students themselves, and they were well and en- | vergetically represented through such men as | Messrs.

This is Bustis, the captain of the Weslayans, This was far the grandest race of all, and I have all its minutia down to the smaliest tride, How they would all drive for this born leader! and spurt all they like he would never let them show to the fore; how Hubbell spurted and did not half stride and did odd antics with @ stick; how little Price, pale as an East River ghost, did dodge around between their legs; how Souther got tired of it and dropped out; now Eager’s trowsers were too thick and he did likewise; how the smiling Heermans would break often into a run, until the Teieree, alter long standing it, disquatified him; how happy Gunster looked as he cheered on his Hubbell; how through all the weary miica Kustis kept gaining, and gain:ng and gatning, and then, forgetiul of himsetf, stood up for Heermans; how tne little fel- low Price pegged away gamely but then pegged out at last; and how, at the end, Eustis grandly Whipped them all by 700 feet, And how proud they may well be down in Middletown of this lame oar and mathematician.

WILLIAM: BLAIKIE, THE HARVARD AND YALE COL- LISION. —_— SARATOGA, July 20, 187% After great battles there are qiten many little odds and ends of news which, in the haste of tell- ing the first story are necessarily omitted, and which yet are of interest secondary only to that in the great event itself Sach first and foremost in the struggle of Saturday morning was the collision between Harvard and Yale. Already I have given you the statements of nearly all the men in the Harvard boat, and of Mr. Kennedy, of the Yale, and in the second telling-I do not find that they change materially. Iam glad, however, to pe ablo wo append what two other witnesses of this un- fortunate affair say—one interested, undoubtediy, but the other equally without interest—the first being Mr. Silsbee, one of the Harvard spare men, the other a member of the Columbia crew, STATEMENT OF 4 HARVARD ADVOCATE, Thave seen many fellows here wno make a man proud of his countrymen, they are so transparently frank, ingenuous and manly; but I only quote what Ihave heard from others when I fay that Mr, Silsbee is one of the finest men this gathering has brought together, At the start, as you are aware, mere ordinary rowing boats are ranged in line and there made fast, In each sits aman Whose duty it 18 as the racing boats back up to the line to catch the stern of one of them’ and hold it firmly until the signal to start.

I fol- lowed him up closely, wauting to see if he could not lor some reason be mistaken, but he main- tained his ground quietly but very firinly. ‘There Was not one particle of doubt in his mind, He w the act, he had no trouble in so doing, and he tched it imtentiy., He a@iso adds that is very confident that the starting @ hundred feet apart—at | he boata were nos least those of Yale, Harvard and Wesleyan— nor more than fiity, if even that.

L, RIVES, OARSMEN. To Hx Eprror or ras Heap: For the last few. weeks our papers have teemed with such expressions as “friendly rivairy,” “gen, erous emulation,” “the fower of our youth,” &a, and last Saturday we had @ beautiful example of what these expressions amount to. Of course we have nothing but praise for the splendid fellows who pulled New York to victory, but—Harvara and Yale foulea. Now, tnis may happen to any crews, but let us took @ little into what toor place on that occasion, First, the Harvard side of the question. From these gentlemen we find that they were ahead; that Yale tried repeatedly to joni THE “GENTL: — thelr rudder; that, drawing alongside, one of the Yale “gentlemen? caught = their outrigger = with the end of his oar and endeavored to hoid them back; that in the struggle Yale's rudder was torn off, and that the Yale “gentleman” in command then ordered bis crew to liold port and give way starboard, with the intention of running Harvard down; that in this edort tue Yale our opposite Harvard was broken and this is cyurrovoraied hy a siatement of ene 0 i the “‘ooys” stood in line and cleared their throats, | It does | Avenue Railroad bridge.
