Che winning crew were greeted with tremendous cheering. On reaching shore ï. Frank, captain and stroke, fainted. He was immediately lifted by the crew and carried on their shoulders up bilí, to rooms in the Lake House, but bei'ore eaching the house he had entirely recovered. The scène following the race was one ong to be remembered, and was only rnarred in its joyousness by the failure of Yale to particípate beyond the mile point, at which place Yale was taking the lead with good prospect of keeping it. Owing to the distance between referee's boat and the shells at the finish of he race, no flag was seen to dip as the crews crossed the line, so the official timeceeper, Mr. Meeker, was unable to time he crews. Commodore Brady, who was on the signal stand at the finish, timed the crews, from the ilash of the starter's pisol, vith the following result : M. s.
