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

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:

Yale’s Paris Exhibit.
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,
