BIG RACE IS YALE'S (Continued from Firet Page.) there was a porc#vl!blc gain for the blue and when the two-mile flags were passed Yale was leading for the first time in the race, The mergin, however, wAs danger- ously narrow. Harvard was one second behind, but In the mext half-mile it agaln wrested the lead away from Yale and at the two and a half miles Harvard was in the lead just 2 2-5 seconds. Those in the official yachts, some of ‘whom at this junc ture began to talk about the race with enthuslasm. Thus far it had been magnifi- cent and the performances of the crews promised a heart-breaking finish. The Yale men pulled like glants, but Harvard was going with as much power and skill, and as a result Yale was unable to creep up and Harvard actually drew ahead still fur- ther one-fifth of a second, pasiing the three-mile station three-fifths of a second ahead. The lead of the crimeon oars was to be estimated not in lengths, but in mere feet and Inches. The shells entered the finishing mile with beautiful water condl- tions between the long lane qf yachts, and 1t remained for this last mile to afford the most ' spedtaculdr 'contest. seen on. the Thamex for many a year.: T With guns hooming and ‘sirens shriekiag the two boats swept down the Mne. . Ha vard was still in the van, but Yale was clinging to it close. Yale Makes Its Play. It was not until the three-and-a-half- mile flags were within halling dlstance that Chittenden, the, Yale coxswain, called on his men for a mighty effort. Up went the Yale stroke and up crept the Yale shell. Harvard tried to respond and its men an- swered the call heroleally, but the song of Elf tore along in a style that was madden- ing tor Harvard supporters. The three-and-a-half-mile point found Yale again In the lead. It was 'never headed. Indeed, with Harvard never letling down for an instant, Yale took on added strength and the Yale men began to steal away by fget. It was nothing but Yale after this and feet became the generous proportions of a length. Then it was one length and open. water appeared for the first time. It was the old story of a Yale crew with skill and endurance to stay in the last stages of the long journey.

It required nearly fifteen minutes for the crews to take thelr places in the shells. Yale took the lead at the start and was never headed. The blués led by three-quarers of a length at the half mile, a length and a haif at the mile and in the last mile by work superior in. every department of rowing easily crossed the line four and a half lengths ahead. Time was: Yale, 10:274-5; Har- vard, 10:48. From the firat appearance of the two fours on the water at the navy yard, after the end of the freshmen race, there was never a doubt as to the superiority of the Harvard quartet.

The folowing were elecled officars: | betore the usual time for opening the doors | and after the ddors were opened, denblle the threatening clouds, the people came in | swarms. Many who came after 8 o'clock, finding every seat occupled, went away. Mins’ Cameron was gloriously received by the iminense audience. Her first number | was the “Inflammatus,” from Roesini's ‘Stabat Mater,” and when her full, clear volce rose high over the heavy band accom- paniment the audlence went wild with de- light. In response to the tremendous en- cofo she gave “Cupld and 1, the popular solo from Victor Herbert's opel ‘The Berenade.” For this song there had been many requests from the local musie lovers. The encore was even more adapted than the original number to the complete exhib tion of Miss Cameron's resonance and range. In the verse she tang a low G, and then a moment later In the chorus held D natural above middle C for thrce measures, setting the auditors wild by this performance. The notes at both extremes were clear and bell-like and audjble not only in the en- closure, but also across and along the streets. A great encore was the result, and one verse and the chorus of the same song were repeated. Bpeaking of thig especial number, which s the hit of the evening, Miss Cameron afterwards: sang ‘Cupld and I' because it is my Owp ‘favorite song amd becauss it Is the one I do best of all. That s why I made such a hit with it last winter. 1 do mot helfeve I ever faced an audience larger than this one. It is grand.” Miss meron was equally well recelved in, the second part of the program, when she sang an arla from “Traviata,” which was encored. Several beautiful floral ofter- ings were sent up to her at each appear- ance. As previously’ ‘announced, the requests that have been recelved by Mr. Bellstedt have, been considered in the making up of the program for tomight.
