replaced tiie dtsab.etl Capt. Iligglneon
oolhipsetl before the three and one half i
mile flag was reached and Harvard lln-
ihel with seven oara so tlit Yae wan '
a hollow victor. The four oar race aa J
wm expected proved rattier an easier
victory for Harvard. The cr'mson sub-
stitute took the lead at the sna? of the
pistol and had no dlflleuKy In keeping It.
The freshman contest whh something of '
n. disappointment to the Now Haven men I
for the Yale youngsters had men picked
as winners.
Instead Harvard showed them the rud- j
der for two miles and the even was
something in the nature of a process on. '
At 11:45 both shells were in a position !
for the four oared race Yale on the west j
side of the course. Harvard on the east.
At 11:45:32 the starting shot was fired and
the two fours were off. Harvard caught
the water first and in much the better
shape. "With a Jump she pulled away and '
after ten Quick strokes settled into a
beautiful 3C to the minute. Yaie rowed
a stroke one point lower. Not once dur-
ing the entire two miles was the cr'.m- '
son four headed by the boys In blue j
At the quarter mne Jiarvaru leu oy a
good length. At the half mile Hag there
was clean water between the two. The
men from Cambridge were one and one-
half lengths to the good.
The water grew rougher cs the race
progressed and both crews splashed con-
siderably. But still Harvard puHed away
from Yale and during the last mile dou-
bled her lead to three lengths. "With this
advantage she crossed the finish line at
the navy yard a winner by 13 seconds.
The strokes varied but little during the
race Harvard rowing an average of 34
and Yale pulling a 32. At the finish Har-
vard spurted to 35 while Yale went on
without increasing her speed. Neither
crew .was pumped and each cheered the
other.
The two fresmen crews were in their
shells at the smarting point just off the
navy yard when the fours finished. At
32:16 p. m. the word was given. The
crimson tipped oars caught the water on
a Jump and fairly lifted the shel forward.
For ten strokes It was a cose of dig and
get away and wihen Harvard settled
down she led the Yales by half a length.
The lads from Massachusetts got the
race in hand at the outset andrubb-nl it
in at every stroke. Harvard's first fw
strokes were at a 40 clip while Yale de
liberately pulled 36. Once well started
Harvard dropped to 32 and Ya'e to 33.
Open water showed between tflio two
shells before a quarter of a mile had been
travelled. At the hait mi!e Harvard was
two lengths ahead with her craft draw-
ing away. A quarter of a mile farther
down the course It began to look like a
walk away.
With the race half finished. Harvard
32. The crimson boys entered the lane of

The governor said he Intended to take
yachts approaching the fin sh at the
bridge with a rush and swept down the
course in grand style. Y'ale was rowing
a beautiful stroke and gained a trifle in
'the next quarter.
In the stretch Y'ale maHe a desperate ef-
fort to pull up and did well enough until
and tore acros the line a w.nner by five
the Harvard stroke "caught on." Then
the prospective victors hit it up again
and a half lengths.
An hour's delay was caused by the
threat of a thunder storm. It dodged the
course however. and the river became
as mooth as a pond. At 1:41 the pistol
wae fired. For the third time in the day
Harvarrd dug Into the water drat and the
prow of her bont forged aheadl The start
however was an admirable ono and so
lltle wag ther'e to choose between the
two that only those on the official boats
were able to credit Harvard with the ad-
vantage which waa really hers. When
the Tuah of the atari had given way to
the four mi'.a git both orewfe were puli-
ng 36 o the minute.

in both boats was superb. At the quar-
ter Harvard waa 15 feet to tihe good but
at the half Y'ate wu creeping up. Tho
half mile Hag wae r ached with a rush
and the official timers had U that Har-
vard wae then one and threo-flfthg sec-
onds ahead of her rival. Both were row-
ing cleanly and strongly at a 32 ollp Be-
tween the half and three quarters how-
ever there seemed to be troub'e with
number C of the Harvard eight. In tho
distance it looked i:k a broken si de but
it was soon at it again and with Just the
same rythmetlo precision aa before.
Y'ale had gained perceptibly and as the
line was approached tftie nose of the New
Haven boat poked itself to the fore. Har-
vard was ready wlh a sourt however
and boats shot by the mile flags on ex-
actly even terms according to the offi-
cial watches.
The racers sped forward in amazng
style but as they entered upon the sec-
ond mile the EMs applied a Uttle of their
reserve powers. Before Harvard waa
aware of it her rivals were three quar-
ters Qf a length ahead. Harvard still
rowed 32 strokes while YaJo had dropped

in a womanly way and may well look
with fear toward the time of maternity.
Intelligent preparation for this time is
most essential. An athlete " trains " for
months before his trial. Most women
do not " train " at all and yet their trial
is to be fifty times as severe as the
athlete's.
During the period of gestation every
woman should use every means to
strengthen the organs that are to be
tried. They should be kept in perfect
health. The faintest symptom of dis-
order or disease should be promptly
eliminated.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
designed to do this very thing has been
doing it for over thirty years. It is the
one sure medicine for all female com-
plaints It is the only medicine that
may be absolutely depended upon to
practically abolish the pain and danger
of childbirth. It is the only preparation
of its kind that is the invention of a reg-
ularly graduated physician a skilled
and experienced specialist in the cure
of diseases of women.
Mrs. Emerson Atlcp. of Dorset Ontario Co.
Ont. writes: "Iwas in very poor health for a
long time dattug from the birth of my little girL
I tried different doctors and different medicines.
I took four bottles of Favorite Prescription '
and seem to be perfectly well again."
Now Yales spurted again. This was
met with renewed efforts by Haryard.
But Y'ale clung tenaciously to her lead.
At the two miles Y'ale rowing 32 led
Harvard by nearly a length. It began
to look like a Y'ale victory. Harvards
stroke Harding who took Capt. Hlggin-
rnn's place after the latter's accident
Increased the crimson stroke with a rush
which bade fair to take his colleague off
their nerve. He set a terrific c ip and the
whole Harvard crew worked like demons
possessed. Yale undertook to meet the
spurt but the pace was too hot and Yale
wisely decided to huband her strength for
later calls. Inch by inch Harvard pullfd
up then foot bv foot and at the three
mile fing the Harvard 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. Suddenly there
enme a break In the crimson eight. Some-
thing was wrong with the Cambridge
stroke. His oar failed at t'mes to strike
the water. A few seconds Inter tho Har-
vard boat aulvered and trembled. Up
went Harding's our and ovtrtoppled his
exhausted body. Coxswain Wad eigh
puMed his rudder ropes sharply to one
side and shouted to his men who did
their best to relelve the lopsldtidness of
the machine with its four to three oars.
The beautiful craft swerved to one h de
and cries of chagrin and disappointment
were raised.
Poor Harding the boy who was under
the strain of the responsibility placed up-
on his shoulders by the Hicginson mis-
hap had rowed himself out in that last
heart-rending effort to pull up on the
Yale's shell. The young Spartan disre-
garding the faqt that durlr.a the last
three days ho had lost five iOyiinds had
pulled his last ounce and lay a help
less passenger in the ghe'.l. He fe'U into
the lap of his coxswain straightened with
a heroic effort and again grasped his oar
In a pitiful attempt to get into ithe race
once more.
Tho Y'ale eight magnificently strong
and in grand style tore on down to tho
atretch. Every man trained to the hour
for a four mile race was pulling beauti-
fully and added longths to their lead over
their unfortunate rivals. The Harvard
launch now rushed across the course- to
the Harvard shell evidently for the pur-
I poee of stopping them in their upoless
. efforts. The parsmen however refused
to hear of it and game to the last pullet
j down to tho finish. Y'a'e crossed the line
a winner by six good lengths and 21 3-5
