New London, Conn., June 24. 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.
V.o'h crews rnzieo) In final prac
tice today and the husky athletes
rrtiTir:s!r.g the rival crews showed up
in the best r f condition. All the
M..pe" pr ints to a repetition of last
y.-ar's -historic : rustle, when Tale
pr.athed th" season's dual aquatic
honors from Hirvard after a contest
n else an bitterly contested from
jijn to finish that almost equal glory
wris accorded by '.be crowds to both
o-inners and losers. 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.

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.
