CRIMSON FLOATS OVER YALE BLUE Harvard Clears Up Thames by Clinch- ing Two Victories in Annual Regatta. VARSITY FOUR OUTSTRIPS ELI Quartet from Cambridge Pulls Away from Men from New Haven. FRESHMEN ALSO ROW ICTORY Superior Weight of Bostonians Has Telling Effect Upon Foes, ALL EVENTS ARE SENSATIONAL Oarsmen Battle Nip and Tuck Over Course, but Beef and Brawn of Harvard's Men Prove Invineible. NEW LONDON, June %.—Harvard won the varsity eight-oared race, the greatest event In the annual regatta, today, by four lengths. This gives all the events to the Crimson oarsmen. NEW LONDON, June 0. ~Harvard cleared up the Thames this morning with two declsive victories over Yale. The crimson freshmen eight-oared crew beat the youngsters from New Haven by three lengths and the Harvard varsity four bet- tered this performance a little later by rowing away from Yale in the last eighth mile of a surprising race and finishing four lengths in the lead. A quartering down-stream breeze which rose to eight knots an hour before the sec- ond race began cut down the time, and although both the winning crews were strong, both races were slow. The time was: Freshmen elght: 12:02, Varsity four: Harvard, 13:00%; Yale, 13:18. The Yale freshmen lost becausé of inabil- ity to row In any sort of form. They could nelther keep time nor hold their boat on an even keel. Iarvard, with supposedly inferior material, rowed in splendid form. At the finish, Read and Adams both fell in a heap In the botton of the Yale boat, but soon recovered. Superior Weight Tells. Harverd had practically conceded that Yale would win the four-oared race. There- fore it was no surprise when the Yale crew jumped away and soon had a lead of three seconds at the half mile, which Increased to five seconds at the mile. But Jjust before the crews came into the last halt mile of the race, the Harvard four, which had been rowing in bad time, be- gan to profit by their superior weight. Over this last halt mile Harvard not only cut down Yale's lead, but literally jumped away Froin Yale wulll at ¥t Hatvard nad a lead of scventeen and one-half seconds, which measured in boat lengths, means four good lengths. The Yale four held the form right up to the finish, but Low at stroke and Thorne at bow, did not have the physical strength to put any jump into the stroke. Throughout this race, Hurvard rowed from two to three strokes more to the minute than Yale. Yale's stroke aver- aged from 82 to 33; Harvard's from 3 to 3. Harvard Victory Sensational. Harvard won the varsity fours race In sensational manner. Yale caught (o water first and dashed out nearly a length aheaa of the first fifty yards.. Ap- proaching the half mile Yale sprinted and took & lead of a full length, then sesmed | content with the advantage and dropped back to a long, easy stroke. At the three-quarters Harvard again lapped Yale's shell, but aropped back again, and Yale was half e length ahead at the mile. Then came the wonderful spurt that showed how much the Camoridge men had been holding In reserve. Gradually Har- vard ralsed its stroke and closed the gap. In an eighth of a mile they moved up more than two lengths and at tnis distauce from home began to leave Yale behind at every stroke Harvard finished four lengths ahead In 13:00%. Yale's time was 15:18. The record for this race is 10:12, made by Harvard in 1904 ‘The dual victory this morning quickened Harvard's expectation of winning, the uni- ersity race this evening. Harvard, 11:54; Yale, Freshmen Race Excltng. Harvard's weight and stamnia told in the freshman race. Until the last quarter the | contest promised one of the most exciting spectacles ever seen on the Thames. First| the Blue oar blades would flash a few | feet in front, then tHe Crimson. Both crews caught the water on the sig- nal, rowing a fast but clean stroke with little or no splashing until they appeared Then they en- countered the rough water kicked up by the quartering northwest breese and the spray began to fly. At the half mile the Harvard shell, tow- ing 25, led & halt length, out Yale raised its stroke to 30 and drew up aven and | for the next mile it was nip and tuck. With only & half mile left to go the crews were practicdlly on even Xernu) Smoother water favored the finish and both in the sum of $10,000 each. (Continued on Second Page.)

NEW CLASSIFICATION STANDS Commerce Comunis mnktfilen to Set Aside Bohedule 36, ) VICTORY FOR THE RAILROADS Six Thousand Items and Ratings Are Involved, but There Are Only Fifty-Edght Changes Made. WASHINGTON, June 30--Announcement was made by the Interstate Commerce com- mission today that it would not suspend official classification number 8, Involving over 6,000 items. which was filed to be- come effective July 1. This declination to act is regarded as a victory for tne rail- roads. For nearly a month the commission has been overwhelmed with protests against the proposed new classification of frelgnt, many shippers seeming to entertain the idea that the re-arrangement would re- sult in largely increased rates The subject was considered very care- fully by the commission. In the 6,000 items and ratings Involved there are only fifty- ecight changes, of which twenty-cight are reductions and thirty advances, the latter Including twelve Increases in carload weights. In an official statement issued today the commission says: “The principal Increases are ihe carload minimum of herse vehicles from 10,00 to 11,000 pounds and an advance in the class- ification of automoblles from first class o 110 per cent of first class and the commis- sion is not satistied that these items should be suspended. This -uling, however, will not prevent or delay the hearing of any complaint which has becn made or may be made against the reasonableness of these or any other increases effected by, the new classification."” Officlal classification territory Includes all that part of the United States norch of the Potomac and Ohlo rivers and east of the Mississippi river. It takes in ths cities of Bt. Louls and Chicago. For purposes of convenience all that is not moved under commodity or special rates is divided into several classes, the first class taking the highest rate except in particular instarnces where speclal articles are required to pay more than the first-class rate, the second cias a somewhat lower rate and o on down the several classes, the hignest numbered class being the lowest in rate. treight Hot weather is here, and cool rooms in the resi- dential section are in demand.

D, June 30.—While the result of the primary election in North Dakota yesterday is not in doubt, the re- turns today are not complete and will not be for some hours as the wires are down, owing to the severe storms of last night. The stalwart faction of the republican ticket has won a majority of state officers and split even with the insurgents on the sional ticket, each side getting one sman and one senator.

He will leave the Red River valley with an even break against Mar- shall, thus being assured an election by a majority of at least 7,000 Gronna's majority will be much larger, as he leads Engerud in every northern county.
