Once more the abounding lethargy of this olJ city is being shattered Into frag ments and dissipated to the four winds o? heaven by the enthusiastic hosts at John Harvard and Ell Tale, who have already virtually taken possession of the town. In advance of the annual j-irugg!e on the Thames between the oirsmen of the rival universities. VThlle the bi? crowd will not .arrive until tomorrow, owing to the com mencement festivities In New Haven and Cambridge today, there are al ready a sufficient number of students hore to obviate any possibility of Y.-iceful sleep tonight for the staid I townsmen of Xew London. All of the streets are decorated In crimson and blue, the merchants and citizens con tributing lareoly to the color scheme anl for the most part impartially. Ad herents of Tale appear to be the most ;-nnspIeuous and are making the blg K,.st noise, due to the nearness to New Haven and th supremacy of Tale s'.uJents and alumni in Connecticut. The largest crowd that ever witnessed the American regatti Is confidently predicted. Final Practice Today.

While there will lrnbably V the usual number of wagers on the result, the admirers of m-itber crew are offering tempting odds. . ; Arrangements for an observation train along the river, to accommodate ; the spectators, have been completed j ar.d very effort will be made by the ; railway officials to supply accommo- ; ditlons for a'.l who desire to witness the struggle. The schedule for the day Is almost the same as In the past, the minor events to be rowel in the forenoon ; and the big event of the day late in the afternoon. Last year the varsity . race was not rowed until 7 o'clock owing to the rough condition of the ' water. The official schedule Is as fol- j U,-wv. 1. The 'varsity four-oar race will. h started at 10 a. m. sharp, at the. Navy Tard anl rowed down stream, finishing at the railroad bridge. 2. The freshman elght-oared race will be started as soon as practicable after the finish of the 'varsity four oar race and will be rowed' down . jrtre-am, starting at the Navy' Tard , and finish at the bridge. 3. The university race will be start ed at the railroad bridge at 5:30 p. m. and will be rowed up stream to the ' banning of the four-mile course. I 4. Should it be necessary to post pone the freshman and four-oared races (if the university race Is rowed or. time), they will be rowed up stream Immediately after the university race, i fiorn the Navy Tard to the beginning of the four-mile course. j Agreements. 1 fc) It Is mutually agreed that the 'varsity race will be rowed on time, weather permitting, regardlesa of any) postponement of the other two races. (d) Should a disagreement arise between the 'varsity captains as to the time of rowing the races, the power of deciding ' shall be vested in the referee. It Is further understood that both captains agreeing their word shall be final. (e) Both captains agree that un less otherwise ordered by the referee, they will leave their respective floats In suitable time to be ready to start at the time agreed upon. (f) Should It be necessary to post pone the 'varsity race from 5:30 p. m. It shall be rowed up stream any time up to 7 p. m. (g) Should It be necessary to post pone any or all of the races until the next day, the 'varsity race shall be rowed down stream at 10 a. m. from the beginning of the four-mile course to the railroad bridge, and the fresh man and four-oared races. If postpon es shall be rowed down stream imme--diately after the 'varsity race, from the Navy Tard to the railroad bridge. Tale and Harvard eights have row ed 41 races, beginning In 1832 on Lake Wlnnlpiseogee, at two miles. Of the 41 races Tale has won 23, while Harvard has IS victories to her credit. In 1835 the course was changed to Springfield and lengthened to three miles. For nine ears Like Qulnsle amond was the scene of the contests. In 1S69 this course was abandoned, and In the following year the crews met at Lake Saltonlstall. After an In terval of seven years the crews In 1S76-77 returned to Springfield, when the four-mile course was Inaugurated. In 1S78. however, the event was held ; on the Thames, and ylth the exception t of three years since that time the ' event has been an annual fixture and on the Thames course. Tale holds the record for the four-mile course, having covered this distance In 1888 I In 20 minutes and 10 seconds. Hotel St. George. I J. A. Allison, Portland; Lewis Ger- j ard, Wlnlock; A. E.

HACK IX) THE FARM SAYS SECRETARY WILSON Secretary Wilson conveys to the American people the more than wel come Information that the desertion of the farms for city life, which has been going on at an alarming rate for the last 20 years, seems to have come to an end. and that something like a reaction has set In. t If this is true, nothing could be a more hopeful sign for the future prosperity and happiness of this country. Until a few years ago Am erican cities prided themselves great ly on their rapid growth in popula tion and never wearied of presenting statistical tables showing an annual increase of 10 to 20 per cent. After a while it was observed lint all the cities not only of this country, but of all countries, were growing In the same way. Finally it dawned on our understandings that the farms were being proportionately deserted, and that what we had been priding ourselves on was nothing more nor less than a deplorable national dis ease. What we had hailed as solid municipal muscle and fat was seen to he dropsical wind and water. This wild flight of the country peo ple to the cities Is something of a mystery, because It has taken place simultaneously with an Immense amelioration of the loneliness and hardships of farm life. In our day the farmer's gate, the letter carrier hands him his mail, and a 'bus calls to take his children to school. Farm work Is now beginning to be done by storage batteries. The farmer Is no longer compelled to manufacture everything lie needs, but can buy It for a trifle at the nearest town. On his tables are the finest periodicals and books In the world; he reads them by an electric light; he tele phones his orders around the farm or his gossip to his neighbors, and rides to the depot In an automobile. How Is it that men so pleasantly situated, with the sweet privilege of looking nature In the face, breathing unpolluted air, drinking pure water, and eating pure food, can give It up for the grime and filth, the smoke and stench, the close quarters and adulterated food, the starvation wages and incessant strikes, lockouts and mobs of the city will always be re garded as an Insoluble problem.' Not only do the farmers wrong themselves when they flock to the city, but they Inflict a terrible injury on society. Agriculture Is paralyzed and the cities are glutted, impoverish ed and corrupted. When they have come to the city and make themselves and everybody else miserable they then propose as a remedy not a return to the farm, but socialism. "Back to the farm" should be the watchword of Americans. It 13 to be feared that Secretary Wilson is far too sanguine, but if his prognostica tion Is correct. It Is the best news this country has heard since the surren der of Appomattox. Chicago Tribune. I. L BILL T LAST YEAR'S CHAMl'lOXS WOIXD RETAIN HONORS.
