THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY. Home Office: NEWARK, N. J. OF AMERICA FRESHMEN WIN REGATTA. Sophomores Beat. the Juniors—Good Rowing Weather. Rowing certainly does not seem to possess the attractions in the Fall that make it an absorbing sport in the Spring, as anyone who went to. Lake Whitney last’ Saturday would readily admit. The: day was could possibly have been hit upon, for the sun was warm and bright and. only | the leaves along the banks turning to yellow and red and brown gave any hint of approaching Winter. considerable number of townspeople, about three-fourths of whom were ladies, watched the races, but the stu- dent attendance was small. This did not mean that rowing interest at Yale is AS Usual, a failing, but that King Football had sum- moned his subjects to many gridirons | where the crash of the battle was sweeter music than the splash of the oars. The Fall regatta is a rather small affair always. Men are playing football and have no time to get into a boat. | This year there were but two. races, although three were scheduled, and the Ireshmen were the victors. The first race was at 4 o'clock, between the Sopho- more eight and the Junior four; the | latter not being able to muster a full crew. For this discrepancy the Sopho- mores allowed their competitors 16 sec- onds handicap, and beat them out by two lengths. Time, 5 minutes 25% seconds. After a rest of half an hour the Sopho- mores raced down over the same course with the Freshmen eight, giving the lattér 6 seconds handicap. Both crews got a good start and see-sawed down the lake until within a hundred yards of the finish, where the Sophomores had a lead of perhaps half a length. Here the Freshmen coxswain called for a spurt and his men responded gamely, follow- ing the professional rule of getting all the power possible, in whatever form comes the most convenient. “There were certainly not less than eight dis- tinct forms, as many as there were dif- ferent colored rowing shirts in the boat, but somehow that boat began to gain and gain and finally shot over the line a winner by two feet, with port rowing 35 and starboard 4o. Pure pluck gave the youngest class in the University the race, and they deserved it. Time 5 minutes 5% seconds. This ended the regatta. Both races were rowed over the seven- eighths of a mile course. The crews rowed as follows: Junior (four-oared) —Bow, R. L. ;Atonson S250 R. iylers 3 Psi: Mitchell; 4, A. Cameron, Jr.; Coxswain, G. P. Chittenden. Sophomore (eight-oared)—Bow, T. No gexells 2, fH.

It has been decided, by the Yale authorities that this University shall be well represented at the Paris Exposition next year. A committee consisting of Director Russell H. Chittenden of the Scientifie ~ School, Prof. Hastings, and Prof. Charles E. Beecher of the Peabody Museum, was appointed some time ago to consider what should be sent, but at this writing only a part of the Peabody Museum exhibit ‘has been definitely decided upon. The Mu- seum exhibit will be thirty-five large photographs of the choicest specimens within its walls, and a set of twenty- three models, describing the teaching of fossils: On account of the liability to accident in the 5,000 miles journey which they would have to take, none of the valuable originals will be sent. The committee has until the middle of November to make the choice of ex- hibits, which will be shipped Dec. 1, tot Paris, <> 6 a> bi. A Sn all The College Pulpit.
