EVEN MATCH IN WEIGHT
Huge Crowd Will Witness Interna
tional University Boat Race To
day English Rowing May
Suffer Revolution.
PUTNEY, England, Sept. 7. Breaking
the almost universal custom of English
university boat races to rest quietly the
day preceding the contest, both the Har
vard and Cambridge crews today in
dulged in short practice in the presence
of thousands of rowing enthusiasts gath
ered at the banks of the river. The Cam
bridge men were out first and did a two
minute row at the rate of 38 strokes to
a minute. A little later the Harvard men
had a spin of a minute and a half. They
started at the rate of 40 strokes to the
minute, but soon slackened the pace. For
a full minute they rowed at the rate of
36 to the minute. No protracted work was
done, however, and Cambridge seemed to
nhow perhaps slightly better form. Neith
er crew gave the slightest sign of state
ness, all being in the pink of condition.
Huge Crowd Will See Race.
The open character of the great strug
gle, quite apart from the international
element, gives it an interest exceeding
that which was attached to any previous
'varsity contest. The last few hours have
een a tremendous scramble for seats
from which to view the race. Thousands
Of tickets have been Issued for positions
on the Barnes Railway bridge, which
marks the commencement of the final
reach, and late this evening many Ameri
cans vainly endeavored to get seating ac
commodations near the finish post. The
Mortlake Railway Company will run ex
cursion trains from all parts, and, to
morrow being a general half-holiday,
there is certain to be a record crowd.
rpl.A nffi.ial wttlnr nrirpo At 111 favor
Cambridge, but the moment American
money is offered the betting becomes
even.
Almost Equal In Weight.
In the matter of weight, the crews are
pretty evenly matcned. in neignt ine
Harvards are the more level, the tallest
h.lni, c foAt 1 fnrh Jtnri the shortest 5
feet Inches. Of the Cambridge men
the tallest is Traynes, leet. s incnes. ana
the shortest, Benham, 6 feet 8V4 inches.
For the first time flags will be
dropped at salient points on the course
and if a record is being made it will
have to beat 3:52 at the mile, 7:11 at
Hammersmith bridge, 11:15 at Chis
wlck steps, 13:34 at Barnes1 bridge and
18:47 at the finish.
American Coach Confident.
Coaoh Wrav is perfectly satisfied
with the capabilities and endurance of
his crew, and thinks it has a more
than even chance of winning. Har
vard's captain also is confident and
savs if the Americans are beaten it
will not be until the finish of the race.
Goldsmith, president of Cambridge
University Boat Club, said today that
he thought the Englishmen will win
but there will not be much space be
tween the boats at the finish. He oon
. sidered the Harvard crew a much
stronger team of men than this year's
Oxfords and he was satisfied that the
former would "row it out to the end
of the race." Dr. Goldsmith expects
the Cambridge men to take a little lead
at the start, but he believes the strug
gle will be a close one.
Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid
will follow the race in a launch Jointly
chartered by Harvard and Cambridge
lor the accommodation of their friends.
The Harvard men, who have ar
ranged to sail for home September 15
on board the American line steamer
St. Louis, will spend Sunday at Cam
bridge and go to Wrest Park on Mon
day as the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Reid. .
Revolution In English Rowing.
Whatever may be the result of the
race, it is likely to have an important
bearing on the future of English boat
ing. The introduction of the swivel
oarlock is almost certain. It is used
already by all English scullers and has
been advocated by prominent boat-
builders here, who, however, have been
handicapped by the conservatism of the
crews themselves. Whether other fea
tures of the American-built boats will
be adopted rests on the result of the
race. The difference in weights be
tween the two boats is 16 pounds in
favor of the Harvard shell. Sims, who
built Cambridge's boat, explains this by
me iact mat, owing to tne short time.

Say Long Slandered Pilgrims.
PLYMOUTH. Sept. 7. A recent addres
by former Secretary of the Navy John
L. lng. in wnicn ne discussed the Pil
grim Fathers was the subject of critical
comment on the part of nearly all the
speakers at the banquet of the General
Society of the Mayflower Descendants
last night. Samuel B. Capen, of Boston,
the governor-general of the society, re.
ferred to ex-Governor Long's conclusions
as unwarranted. Mr. Morton Dexter, of
Boston, said that to all intents and pur
poses Mr. Long charged the Pilgrims with
being hypocrites. "For my part," said
Mr. Dexter, "I absolutely repudiate any
such conclusion In regard to them."
Mr. Long's address, which created
sensation, said the early Pilgrim Fathers
were hypocritical, immoral and posseted
of many other unldeal qualities.

LONG DROUGHT IS BROKEN
Rain Clears Away Pall of Smoke
From the Atmosphere.
Portlanders were made glad by a gentle
fall of rain last night. After an unusually
long period of fair, warm weather, the
clouds which have been hovering threaten
ingly for several Says, turned loose the
soft, mild rain which is characteristic of
Oregon. It was the first harbinger of the
rainy season.
For several weeks the atmosphere- has
been hasy with smoke, which the present
rain will soon drive away. Not only will
it make the weather more pleasant, but
will also check the fires in the forests
throughout the state, and if it continues a
few days will completely do away with
them.
The only persons to whom rain might
prove a disadvantage at this time are the
hopgrowers. A long-continued downfall
would do much damage to the hop crop
just at this stage. It is not likely, how
ever, thU the present rain will continue
long enough to harm the hops, and will
probably only serve to clear the atmos
phere and lay the dust, so that the pick
ing of the crop will be a more pleasant
occupation.
