The crimson crew took the lead at | the snap of the pistol and had no dif- | culty in keeping it. The freshmen con- test was something of a disappointment to the New Haven men, for the Yale | youngsters had been picked as winners. Instead Harvard showed them the rudder for two miles and the event was some- | thing In_the nature of a procession. At 11:15 both shells were in position for the four-oared race—Yale on the west side | of the course, Harvard on the 11:45:32 the starting shot the two fours were offt.

With the race half finished, Harvard spurted to thirty-five strokes but Yale clung to thirty-two. The crim son boys entered the lane of yachts ap- proaching the finish at the bridge with a rush and swept down the course in grand style. Yale was rowing a beautiful stroke and gained a trifle in the next quarter. In the stretch Yale made a desperate effort to pull up, and did well enough until the Harvard stroke ‘“caught on.” Then the prospective victors hit 1t up | again and tore across the line a winne: by five and a half lengths.

It dodged the course, however, and the river became as smooth as a pond. At 1:41 the pistol was | fired.” For the third time in the day Har- vard dug the water first and the prow of her boat forged ahead. The start, | however, was an admirable one, and so little was there to choose between the | two that only those on the official boat | were able to credit Harvard with the ad- | vantage which was really hers. When | the rush of the start had given way to | the four-mile gait both crews were pulling | thirty-six to the minute. Down the west bank of the river sped the shells, with Harvard a fraction of a length ahead. The oarsmanship on both boats was superb. At the quarter Har- vard was fifteen feet to the good, but at the half Yale was creeping up. The halr- mile flag was reached with a rush and the official timers had it that Harvard was then one and three-fifths seconds ahead of her rival. Both were rowing cleanly and strongly at a thirty-two clip. | Between the half and thre qu however, there seemed to be trou No. 6 in the Harvard eight. In the dis- tance it looked like a broken slide, buv ame rhythmical precision before. Yale had gained perceptibly, and as_the iine was approached the nosé of the New Haven boat poked itself to the fore. Har- vard was ready with a spurt, however, | and the boats shot by the mile flags on exactly even terms, according to the of- ficial watches. The racers sped forward in amazing style, but as they enteree upon the second mile the Elis applied a little of their reserve power.

Now Yale spurted again. This was met with renewed effort by Harvard. But tenaciously to her lead. At the two miles Yale, rowing thirty-two, ied Harvard by nearly a length. It began to look like a Yale victory. Harvard's stroke, Harding, who took Captain Higginson's place after the latter's accident on Sun- Gay last, increased the crimson stroke With a rush _which bade fair to take his | colleagues off their nerve. He set a ter- | rific clip and the whole Harvard crew | Worked like demons possessed. Yale un- a but the pace Yale clun ertook to meet the spurt Wwas too hot and Yale wisely decided to husband her strength for later calls. by inch Harvard Kullod up, then foot by foot, and at the three-mile' flag the Har- vard shell went to the fore for the first time since she had lost the lead at the start. Harvard was leading by half a length. Sudden]{ there came a break in the crimson eight. Something was wrong with the Cambridge stroke. His oar failed at times to strike the water. A few sec- onds later the Harvard boat quivered and trembled. Up went Harding's oar and over toppled his exhausted body. Cock- swain Wadleigh pulled his rudder ropes sharply to one side and shouted to his men, who did their best to relieve the lop- sidedness of their machine with its four to three oars. The beautiful craft swerved wildly to one side and cries of chagrin and disappointment were rafsed. Poor Hardine the boy who was under the strain of the | responsibility placed upon his shoulders by the Higginson mis- hap, had rowed himseif out in that last heartrending effort to pull up on the Yale shell. The young Spartan, disregarding the fact that during' the last three days he had lost five pounds, had pulled his last ounce and lay a helpless passenger in the shell.

MATOR FAVORS FRANCHISE FOR BIG ASSESSMENT UPON FRANCHISE SANTA FE ROAD, OF CORPORATIO Recommends It Be Granted|Sunset Telephone Company s the Use of Illinois Street. Declares That Such Grant Will Re- | Assessor sult in Great Benefit to the Merchants of City and State. e The consideration of the petition of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley | Sunset Telegraph | Railroad for a franchise to operate a steam road on Illinois street was taken up yesterday by the Supervisors’ Street Committee. After arguments had been the granting of the| privilege Mayor Phelan expressed himself as being strongly in favor of granting the franchise. “On the eve of my departure from the | State,” sald his Honor, “I desire to say that a competing transcontinental line Is | entitled to every consideration, and I trust | that the city will act in a broad spirit | upon the application. I believe that such | a competitive service will redound greatly | | to the benefit of the merchants of the city and the people at large. Such a grant | wiil insure the regulation of freight u‘ufllc’ have in keeping rates down and in bring- ing courteous and prompt service from both competitors. 'The facilities will be | materfally advanced for getting goods to | market. From the high character of the gentlemen behind the Santa Fe and its solidity San’ Prancisco should give it a fair chance and equal opportunities. A | | vast majority will be greatly benefited, as { it will open up new industries. It will give value to property where values do not now exist.” | At this point Attorney W. J. Stafford, some protesting property owners, asked: | “If the Southern Pacific has a legal right to operate cars on_Iilinols street would you be willing to have eight rails on the street?” | “Yes,” replied the Mayor; #T would not let the Southern Pacific tracks be an ob- | struction to the Santa Fe. It will cer- tainly compensate the property owners should they suffer damages. 1 favor the granting of the franchise under proper conditions and safeguards.” Those present at the meeting _were: Mayor Phelan, Captain A. H. Payson (vice president of the Santa Fe), Attor- 5. F. Preston, M. Mullaney and H. J. Stafford, and Supervisors Maguire, Jen- nings, McCarthy, Connor and Curtis. At-| torney Stafford opened the discussion by stating that he was opposed to the ordi- nance firamlnz the franchise being passed. | until the company had put down In black and white what It proposed to do. { “You have no objections to a competing | road?”’ queried the Mayor. ot If it is in truth a competing road,” replieg Stafford. “I doubt, however, the pgxw(‘r“ of the board to grant the !mn-‘ chise. The Mayor held that there was no ques- | tion as to the power of the board, the point having been settled in the Krakhot case In Fresno. McCarthy suggested that the Santa Fe might use the tracks of the Southern Pa- cific Company on Illinofs street, “If you secure us that privilege,” | said Attorney Preston, “we will with- draw our application for a franchise.” &l ullaney, representing pro- esting property objected to the | petition for a franchise on the*ground that it would be a practical confiscation of the surrounding property. “While we feel kindly toward the com- peting iine,” said Mullaney, “we should not be required to give It our property or subject ourselves to great injury.” | Further consideration of the franchise | was then postponed for two weeks. | Attorney Baggett addressed the com- | mittee on the petition of the Bay Coast Rallway, Company for a on certain streets. He asked to have the | ordinance granting the privilege passed to print. as it would tend to build up the city. The committee agreed to meet to- | mortmw at 1 p. m. to inspect the proposed | route.

The recommendation of the Board of Public Works that the Presidio and Fer- | ries Railway Company be required to set back four feet the south curb of Union street between HKde and Larkin and to pave the strip with basalt blocks was laid | over for further consideration. ) MAYOR MAY VISIT THE 1 PARIS EXPOSITION | His Physician Advises That He Take | a Brief Rest From His Official | Cares.
