BOSTON, June 25.—The equestrian sta- tue of General Joseph Hooker, erected on the State House grounds, was dedicated to-day. Preceding the unveiling a great parade was held, in which scores of the most distinguished military men of Amer- ica participated, together with regular army cavalry and infantry, marines and bluejackets: from the coast division of the North Atlantic squadron, State militia, veterans who served with Hooker, mem- bers of the Massachusetts Department, Grand Army of the Republic, veterans of the Spanish war and the Boston school regiment. Governor Bates occupied his place as commander of the military forces of the State, while in the line were Lieutenant General Miles, General Wesley Merritt, General John R. Brooke, General O. O. Howard, General Daniel Sickles, General Alexander 8. Webb and General Joshua L. Chamberlain. The unveiling ceremonies were brief, opening with a selection by a band. Prayer was offered by Rey. Dr. Arthur W. Little of Dorchester, who was a chap- lain in the Union army. Lieutenant Gov- ernor Guild, in behalf of the committee of the executive council, turned over the memorial to the State. Master Joseph Hooker Wood, grand- nephew of General Hooker, pulled the cord which released the veil and as the curtain fell Battery A, stationed on the Common, fired a major general's salute of thirteen guns. Governor Bates ac- cepted the custody of the statue for the commonwealth. The formal dedicatory exercises occurred this evening. —_————— aVisitors Win Another Lacrosse Game.

'YALE VICTOR IOUS OVER HARVARD IN ALL THREE OF THE BOAT RACES Cheering Thousands Attend the Annual Regatta on the Thames and Witness Defeat of Men in Crimson After Gallant Strug- gle in Which Losers Row Out Last Ounce of Their Strength o = e <! oy, & EW LONDON, Conn., June For the first time on record Yale to-day triumphed over Harvard in all three of their boat races in the annual regatta on the Thames. The wearers of the blue won the eight-oared varsity race by three and a half boat lengths, the freshmen eight- oared race by two and a quarter lengths and the varsity four-oared by one and a half lengths. In all three races Harvard put up a memorable fight and went down to defeat after gallant struggles in which her boys rowed out the last ounce of thelr strength. The official times of the races were as follow Varsity race—Yale onds; Harvard, 20 minutes 29 J Freshmen race—Yale_ 8 minutes Harvard, 9 minites 48 3-5 seconds. Varsity four-oared race—Yale, 10 5 seconds; Harvard, 11 minutes 10 1-5 20 minutes 19 4-5 sec- seconds. 3 1-5 sec- 2 onds, Yale's three victories are attributed by the experts to the superiority of the stroke taught by John Kennedy over that taught Harvard by her graduate coaches. So far as physical form was concerned, there was no choice between the crews with the possible exception that the Yale freshmen outweighed their Har- vard rivals by more than seven pounds per man. The varsity race was a sur- prise. The freshmen race had been con- ceded to Yale, while the four-oared race was also glven to Yale in the great major- ity of the vredictions. The greatest crowd that ever came to this quiet old harbor town by rail and water saw Harvard go down to defeat. It seemed as if no amount of bad weather and threatening skies could keep people away from New London. The sky was dull and leaden with the wind cold enough for overcoats and the oarsmen at thelr quarters warmed themselves be- fore great log fires in preparation for the struggles of the day. IDEAL RACING CONDITIONS. By half past 10 o'clock the wind was blowing fresh and clear and except for the chill of the air the conditions were ideal for boatracing. Over the last three miles of the varsity course 200 of the fin- est yachts that float in American waters were swinging at anchor, gay with the colors of Yale and Harvard. Referce William Meikleham, the old Columbia oarsman, at 11:30 notified the crews to get ready. In three minutes’ time the vareity four-oared race was be- gun and by half-past 1 the big varsity race was under way. The three events for which the blue and crimson had trained for six months had been disposed of in a trifie more than two hours with- out a break or single Incident to mar any of the races. The story of the varsity race will live long in the annals of college boating. Harvard led Yale almost to the mile and a half flag. Over the first mile it looked like Harvard's race. For the past ten days the coaches of both crews have said that the race would be finished within the first two miles. With the Yale crew suffering from re- cent shifts and changes, the Elis were afraid that if Harvard led for a mile Yale would lose her stroke and would never get it back again. John Kennedy told his crew last night that they must strike & thirty-two per minute stroke and hold 1t right through the race, no mat- ter what happened. It takes good head- work and lots of nerve to row a lower stroke than the other crew when the other crew is leading. But this is just aboul what Yale did this afternoon. Harvard got away at thirty-five strokes to the minute, Yale at thirty-two. Harvard had decidedly the best of the start and by the end of the first half-mile was leading Yale by half a boat length. Captain Mec- Grew put the stroke up to thirty-six. HARVARD IN THE LEAD. Harvard reached the first flag in 2:301-5, Yale in 2:313-5. HarVard's cockswain got out of his course for a short distance and bhad a narrow escape from hitting the first half-mile flag. Over the second half- mile Harvard held her lead over Yale, Stroke Bogue dropped the blues’ stroke to thirty-two. Harvard seemed to think that she had a grip on Yale and Captain McGrew eased his stroke down to thirty- two. Harvard's time for the first mile, 5:06 3-5; Yale's, 5:074-5. It was a remark- able coincidence that Harvard over this half-mile held her lead without varying it even by a fraction of a second. e third half-mile, however, showed that Harvard could not hold Yale witkout rowing a higher stroke. Harvard's eXort over the first miile had begun to tell on the nerves of the crimson eight. Little by little Yale’s beat began to creep up on Harvard's. Just before the mile and a half flag the shells were even and by the time the flag was reached Yale had wrested the lead away from her old rival. The blue reached the flag in seven min- utes and forty seconds, leading Harvard by two seconds, or more than half a boat length. Harvard ralsed her stroke/to 33, but still Yale went ahead without raising hers above 32. The long observation trains had been rattiing and roaring with the cheers of Yale and Harvard. Now it certainly seemed as though these two moving grand stands burst into one great shout for Yale. Yale reached the two-mile flag + : LEOAD e v THE YAl QUARTEL S o< VICTORIOUS OARSMEN WHO DEFEATED A HARVARD CREW AFTER A GALLANT AND EXCITING STRUGGLE ON THE THAMES YESTER- DAY, AND VIEW OF THEIR TRAINING QUARTERS. X off the navy yard in ten minutes three seconds, with Harvard hard on her heels, only four and two-fifths seconds behind. There was just half a boat length of ‘¢lear water between the two shells. Har- vard was not yet whipped. She had held her stroke at 33, while Yale, after getting the lead, had dropped hers cdown to 3L The crimson cight were rowing without a break and their long, casy stroke still looked powerful. YALE CREW FORGES AHEAD. The only question was whether Harvard could put her stroke up again and hold it for a mile more. The next half-mile de- cided this question. Instead of raising her stroke, Harvard was compelled to drop back to Yale's gait at 32. The result was that Yale reached the two and a half mile flag in 12 minutes 231-5 seconds, leading Harvard by 64-5 seconds. Then for the first time Yale began to look rea- sonably sure of a victory. She was lead- ing the crimson by just a trifle less than two boat lengths. At the three-mile flag Yale had in- creased her lead to nine seconds and had practically won the race. Yale's time for the three miles was 14 minutes 50 2-5 sec- onds; Harvard's 14 minutes 59 2-5 seconds. Harvard, in passing the three-mile flag, made her last spurt to get back her lead. Although he was reeling in his stretcher and the Harvard crew was splashing wa- ter in his face, Captain McGrew raised his stroke up to 34 to.the minute, but even at that galt Harvard could not catch Yale. For a few strokes the Harvard shell gained a trifle, but before the three and a half mile flag was reached Captain McGrew had been compelled to drop back to a 32-gait. Harvard was now tired and Yale began to gain on every stroke. Yale's time for the three and a half miles, 17:213-5; Harvard's, 17:344-5. Over this half-mile Yale had increased her lead by 41-5 seconds. It was now only a question of boat lengths. Harvard cheers had died away and the broad Thames now resounded with one grand ““Yale, Yale, Yale!"” while from the decks of 200 yachts the cannon were booming forth in salute to the vie- tory and a “bravo” for the vanquished. Finally the flag dropped at the finish and the watches recorded 20:194-5 for Yale and 20:20 3-5 for Harvard. It was Yale's race by three good boat lengths, a clcse, hard finish, within 94-5 seconds of the fastest time that any crew has ever made on the Thames course. OARSMEN ARE EXHAUSTED. McGrew, who had rowed for Harvard as gallant a race as any man ever rowed for any college, fell over limp on his oar, while Duffy sank down in the shell from sheer exhaustion. Sway, at bow, had also rowed out the last ounce of his pow- er and his oar dropped from his hands. Yale, strong with the nerve which victory gives, pulled on below the great draw- bridge for two or three boat lengths be- fore her cockswain called his men to rest. Then a remarkable incident happened. Stroke Bogue, who had rowed like a demon all the way, threw his oar out from his chest and sprang from his seat into the river. “Man overboard,” yelled the crowd as Bogue came up from his plygnge and struck out like a race horse to, meet the Yale launch which was coming down the course. Head Coach Kunsig and John Kennedy met Bogue half way and pulled him into the launch. The Yale stroke, after that long race, was apparently as fresh as when he started into it. The story of the freshman race is that of a long sprint by Yale’s stalwart young- sters, with Harvard clinging to their heels in a plucky fight. The Elfs finished the two miles in 9:431-5, breaking the old record of 9:57, which has stood since 1893. Harvard also broke the 61d record this afternoon. Her time for the two miles ‘was 9:483-5. Yale led Harvard at the fin- ‘ N | ish by just about one and a quarter boat lengths. NEW RECORD ESTABLISHED. In the Varsity four-oar event Harvard gave Yale another terrific struggle. In this race the Elis had to make a vigcrous fight to get the lead. Yale started off at 36-stroke, Harvard at 35. Although con- trary to their instructions, the Yale four stuck to #his gait to the end of the half- mile and never got down to their normai gait of 32 strokes to the minute until the end of the mile and a half. Harvard started in at 36 and held it for about a mile, when she.had to drop down to 31 Yale finished the first half-mile in 2:45 1- Harvard in 2:49 Yale's time for the mile was 5:38 4-5; Harvard's, £:45. Yale's time for the mile and a half was 8:25; Harvard, 8:32. Yale finished in 10:59 2- Harvard in 11:101-5. Yale won the race, actual measurement, by one and a half boat lengths.. The two crews finished in fine form without a break throughout the entire two miles. The time made by Yale established a new record for this event on the Thames. At the election which took place at the Harvard quarters after the races H. C. Dillingham 94 of Honolulu, captain and stroke of the four-oared erew, was unani- mously elected captain of the varsity crew for the next year. The Yale varsity rowers elected W. S. Cross of Fitchburg, Mass., captain. At b s E o PENNSYLVANIA FAVORITE. Coaches Believe Her Varsity Crew Should Win Four-Oared Race. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 25.—All the crews except the Wisconsin varsity were out this afternoon for a short time, but the practice was hardly more than a paddle, the coaches believing that all that can be done. for their respective crews is accomplished. Cornell's four crews rowed down the two-mile stretch to Blue Point and then returned. The Columbia crews rowed about the same distance south of their boathouse, while Syracuse and Georgetown practiced starts. The settled programme for the races to-morrow aft- ernoon is as follows: Four o clock—Four-oared race, two miles, Cornell, Columbia, Pennsylvania and Wiscon- sin. 4:45 o'clock—Freshmen eight-oared race, two Cornell, Columbla, Wisconsin, Pennsyl- cuse. Six o'clock—Varsity eight-oared race, four miles, Cornell, Columbla, Pennsylvania, George- town, Syracuse, Wisconsin. Officlals—Referee, John E. Eustis of Wes- levan; timekeepers, Evert Jansen Wendell of Harvard and Willlam Innes Forbes of Pennsyl- vania; judge at the finish, Frederick R. Fort- meyer of the National Assoclation of Amateur Oarsmen. The chances of.success in the various races may be diagnosed as follows from the expressions of opinion as given by the various coaches: Four-oared race—Pennsylvania should win, having made a time row of 10:26 for the two miles. Freshmen race—Cornell is the favorite, with Syracuse and Columbla striving for second, Varsity eight-oared, four miles—Cornell fs conceded favorite and Columbia and Wisconsin are second. For the first time in many years the crews have not lost any weight during their two weeks' practice. The averages as made out to-night show that Cornell has the heaviest varsity crew, the second heaviest four-oared crew and the heaviest freshman crew. e Refuses a Fortune for Two Trotters.

They kept the fans in suspense for tem rounds again yesterday at Recreation Park, just as on the previous occasion, those two trailers of the Pacific Coast Baseball League. The tenth was well un- der way when the finish came in a hurry. Josh Reilly made his second bad throw of the game, with two down and plenty of time to handle the ball, so the Cripples got away with the glory. Score—Oakland 3, Portland 2. When the ninth had been exhausted the runs were two and two. Portland had its chance with the club, but produced noth- ing on the board. Tren the turn of the Cripples came. They did much better. Old Peter led off with a two-bagger that carromed off Reilly’s legs and got away from him. While he was searching for the ball Peter rested his weary bomes at the second ba Then along came Doc Moskiman. he dector had been hitting like a fiend, so Butler gave him a pass—the only one he ssued. Devereaux sacrificed both rus and O’'Hara flew to left. Murdock slapped a sim- ple one down to Reilly. Josh was anx ious to get of the ball in a hurry, and he threw it low to first, so Peter came across the pan with the tally that won the battle. All the way through it was a swell Both Butler and Moskiman elusive sphere in all man- ner of ta lizing ways. The flelders worked well and but few chances passed them.

Peter advised them to do the gentleman act and look on from the stands, but they were game and insisted on playing Both are fast flelders and can run over the ground like the real jackrabbit. But with the club they are different. It Is hard to say whether or not they are hitters, but from all ap- pearances they do not seem to have the goods. Butler experienced but little dif- ficulty in fanning both of them when he pleased. That brilliant base runner Spec Hurl- burt also helped lose the game for the Portlands. He had managed to get over as far as third base, when suddenly he commenced to indulge in a quiet game of mumlypeg with himself. The hit and run signal was given and Hurlburt was run down between the bases while the crowd looked on and kidded Spec for his dopy tactics. Gorton started In to catch for pples, but he injured his hand in the ing and had to retire in favor of Lohman. The score: Portland R. H. P.A. AB. R. H.
