Spring Regatta at Yale.

The annual spring regatta of Yale college was held at Lake Saltonstall last Saturday afternoon. The first event was the single scull race for the Cleveland cup, over a mile and a half course and return, with a turn. C. O. Gill, '89, and W. H. Butler, '90 S., were the contestants. Butler lead from the start, and gradually increased the distance between himself and Gill, who was handicapped by a defective oar. Butler finished in 13 minutes, 50 3-4 seconds, The principal event was the eight-oared shell race, two mile straight away, between the junior, sophomore and freshman crews. Two starts were necessary, as Ninety-two failed to get away when the word was given. Ninety lead at the second start, with Ninety-one second. An accident happened to a freshman's oar at the second stroke, thus leaving Ninety-two out of the race. By a number of spurts, the sophomores gradually gained on the juniors, and finally passed them, winning by a quarter of a length, in 11 minutes, 46 seconds.
