NEW LONDON, June 26.—-A crisp north wind with a refreshing coolness, sombre skies overhead and a fleet of large proportions of all sorts of pleas- ure craft swinging at anchor In the running title in the Thames river, was the setting for the morning races on this, the annual race day of the Harvard and Yale crews. in the streets of New London the crowds of over- night enthusiasts boro their college colors proudly and with an imitation. expectantly hepeful not only of seeing three tine races, but In seeing and having In their midst the distin- guished Yale alumnus, Secretary Wil- liam H. Taft. of the class of '78. which class was among the many represented on the river banks during the tiny. Word came over here and was received with great enthusiasm that Secretary Taft had made his final decision to come to New London with his class. arriving here shortly before 3:30 p. m., giving ample time for him to greet his many personal and ofliclni friends who have also assembled at. the races. This was to be the day of all days in the last thirty years in which the dual races have been rowed. for every one had looked forward to the presence of President Roosevelt as a spectator afloat with his war secretary on shore, and while the disappointmnt on all sides was keen that. the president could not witness the struggle. there was mrrch satisfaction particularly among Yale men, In the knowledge that Mr. Taft would be present to on. courage the Blue to its utmost endeav- ors. Even though the president was not to be here, Mrs. Roosevelt and the family were aboard the presidential ypeht Sylph, which was the center of Inter-cabin the long lines of craft which marked the course on either side.

This was the point at which the morning races were schedulr ed to be finished and the anchorage of the Sylph was most admirable. As full of interest as the scene was afloat, the excitement early began in towu where the people take the onnual regattas much as a matter of course. They were anxious to see Secretary Taft and when at the railroad station It was announced that the secretary was coming the crowd swarmed up to the ticket booths, Inquiring about ob- servation trains for the west bank the tickets for which were disposed of two days ago. Everybody wanted to be near and to see the big secretary and his class. and the inquiries made were as to the exact location of his special car on the train over from the college city. he morning crowds were loyal to their universities and - flags, banners and colored megaphones quickly made the moving groups clusters of bright colors. Everybody was happy and the lively breeze disturbed nobody for all felt that the conditions for the morning races were good. At the quarters of the crown the first man up poked their noses Into a stiff northwest breeze, the difference In di. rection there from the lower stretches of the river being one of the peculiar. files of the course. The sultry air of yesterday had been blown away: and the thunderstorm of last night was looked upon us a good omen. Norther. ly breezes here mostly die with the sun. As the two morning races were to be over the same water, that Is. from the navy yard to the drawbrtdge, In stead of as In past years, from Red Top for the fours and from the navy yard to the bridge for the freshmen eighth the Inquiries of oarsmen before the start was to what might be expected there.
