Harvard-Yale Conference at New London.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

There have been a number of reports in the daily papers in regard to the conference at New London on Tuesday between the delegates of Harvard and Yale and representatives of the New London Board of Trade and the railroads. The officers of the University Boat Club have received no official news from the Harvard delegate further than that the terms he was empowered to offer were not accepted and nothing final could be agreed upon. From the account in the daily newspapers it appears that the dispute was on the question of the accommodation train. The railroad authorities proposed to charge $2.00 a seat while the Harvard representative was empowered to offer only $1.00. The railroads finally compromised on $1.50, but the offer could not be accepted. The Board of Trade declined to give the proposed $250.00 for expenses to each of the crews this year, but promise that sum for the next four years of the contract. It is expected that an agreement will be reached some time next week and a contract drawn up and signed or else negotiations opened for the race on some other sheet of water.
