Omega Lambda Chi.
The Omega Lambda Chi celebration
was held Monday night, May 22, the
drizzling rain which fell at 7 o'clock
appearing to make no difference to the
participants and spectators. After the
usual march of the Seniors, Juniors and
Sophomores, and the cheering of the
buildinigs, they led the way to the narrow
space between Dwight and Alumni
Halls and there formed the “gauntlet”
with its outlet on the Campus near the
Sophomore Fence. The walls of this
avenue of punishment were five tiers
deep and strong enough to hold even
frightened Freshmen.. When all was
ready almost every man in the Fresh-
man Class took the heroic plunge
through the pass, coming out at the far
end not much the worse for wear, bar-
ring a few lumps and the loss of a little
cuticle. The whole proceeding was
business-like and orderly and in half an
hour the Campus had assumed its ordi-
nary aspect.

Race with Naval Academy.
On Saturday afternoon, June 3, the
College Crew will race the
States Naval Academy Eight over a
two-mile course on the Severn, start-
ing from a point near the light
house, at the mouth of -the river, and
finishing at a bridge, near the Naval
Cemetery. This race will close the
work of the College Crew, although
four of the men will remain in training
as substitutes on the University Eight.
The Annapolis Crew has been defeated
recently by Columbia and Pennsylvania,
so the outcome of Saturday’s race will
be awaited with special interest.
The squad, including ten men and a
coxswain, will leave New Haven on
Friday, arriving at Annapolis in time
for a short practice row in the after-
noon. They will be accompanied by
Dr, Edson F. Gallaudet, Captain F. W.
Allen, Ord Preston,’ ’99, President of
United -
the Yale Navy, and R. J. Schweppe,
1900. The shell will be shipped in
advance of the crew, packed in a long
baggage car. 7
The order of the College boat will be:
Stroke, Alexander Cameron, Jr., 1901;
7, Paul L. Mitchell, 1901; 6, Herman P.
Olcott, 1901; 5, John W. Cross, 1900;

New London Arrangements.
In spite of press reports to the con-
trary, negotiations between the New
London Board of Trade and the Crew
managements of Yale and Harvard, re-
garding the arrangements for the com-
ing inter-University boat race, have been
satisfactorily and amicably concluded.
New London’s proposition, which has
been accepted by Yale and Harvard, is.
similar to that of last year. In addition
to a course, properly flagged and
policed, suitable training quarters, boat
houses and floats for the University and
Freshmen Crews of the two colleges are
to be provided by the New London
authorities, who will contribute $500
towards paying the expenses involved.
Yale will occupy her old training quar-
ters at Gale’s Ferry.

New England Tennis Tourney.
The annual New England champion-
ship tennis tournament opened on the
courts of the New Haven Lawn Club
Tuesday morning, May 23. This tour-
nament is usually one of the best of the
year and annually brings together men
from all parts of New England. The
entry list was unusually large and in-
cluded several players of intercollegiate
and national reputations. Arthur E.
Foote, Yale ’96, who has won the New
England tournament for two years,
again appeared to defend his - title.
Should he win, the challenge cup offered
by the New Haven Lawn Club for the
championship will pass into his posses-
sion. M. D. Whitman,
national champion of the United States,
J. C. Davidson of Washington, the
Southern champion and J. P. Paret,
who with. Davidson holds the cham-
pionship of the South in doubles, will
figure prominently on the courts.
Handsome prizes are offered this year
to the winners and runners-up in the
finals and consolation of both the
singles and doubles. All games in the
first round of the singles were to be
played off by Tuesday evening and the
preliminaries in the doubles commence
Wednesday afternoon. Joseph T.
Whittlesey, 67 S., will referee all games.
The drawings for the singles resulted
as follows: E. Watrous, ’99, vs. E. H.
Lewis, 99; Dr. G. H. Nettleton, ’96,

SPRING REGATRA.
First Freshman and Harlequins the
Winners—Two Records Broken. ©
The annual Spring regatta of the
Yiale Navy was held at Lake Whitney
Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20,
and though fewer crews competed for
the honors the sport was exceptionally
good and the races well contested.
From the spectators’ point of view the
conditions on the first day were bad,
the weather being cold and showery,
but the oarsmen had not much to com-
plain of, as there was a good breeze
down the course which shortened their
trials by some seconds. On Saturday,
however, there was brilliant sunishine
and though a breeze blew down the lake
it was an ideal day for everyone.
The preliminary races of the scrub
crews had been run off on Friday, leav-
ing nothing to be contested but the
finals on the last day of racing, and
when the first two eights passed under
the bridge on their way to the starting
point, at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon,
two thousand spectators, afloat and
ashore, had gathered to watch the
sport. The most advantageous spot,
the bridge, was crowded to the last
inch, while on both sides of the Lake,
extending a hundred yards up _ the
course, the banks were lined with
people. On the water every kind of
small craft had been pressed into ser-
vice, wherries, whitehalls, flat-bottomed
dories and even keel boats from the
harbor. Weeks ago everything on the
lake that would float was engaged,
but not to be denied the © satis-
faction of floating around the stake
boats, a number of enterprising stu-
dents had drawn on Captain White’s
harbor boats and at high tide had
floated them up the tortuous Mill
river and after a very difficult nortage ~
of a furlong launched them ‘on inland
waters. They were not handsome,
these salt water affairs, but they car-
ried a lot of weight, so what did it
matter?
TWO RECORDS BROKEN.
The racing was unusually interesting,
and the time average lower than in any
previous regatta, the records for both
the long and~ short course being
broken. The first Freshman crew won
the class championship and the Har-
lequins, by defeating their old rivals,
the Coystrels, carried off the scrub
crew honors.
This race between the Harlequins and
Coystrels was the best match and most
exciting of the regatta. As in the re-
gatta a year ago, these crews won their
preliminary heats handily and met for
the championship. Both got a good
start and fought hard for a lead. They
went down the entire course with the .
Harlequins leading by a few feet.
Nearing the stake boat the Coystrels
began to creep up inch by inch, but
their spurt was not soon enough and
the story of their last meeting was re-.
versed. The judges said the Harle-
quins won by three feet. The time
was 4 minutes and 45 seconds, seven
seconds better than the record for the
seventh-eights mile course, established
in the Fall regatta of 1894, by the 1897
crew. Four days before the races the
Harlequin Captain, J. L. Gilson, in-
jured his wrist and blood poisoning
set in, which prevented him from row-
ing. His absence necessitated a num-
ber of changes in the boat on the day —
of the race. What makes the Harle-
quins’ performance the more notable
was that their races were rowed in a
barge some thirty pounds heavier than
‘the shells used by their competitors,
