SENIORS WIN CLASS RACE.

The final race for the class rowing Championship between the Law School crew and the Weld crews which had won the preliminary heats, took place yesterday afternoon and was won by the Seniors with the Law School crew second. Both the Juniors and the Sophomores sank about half a mile above the Harvard Bridge, and the Freshman boat was so filled with water that the crew were also obliged to drop out of the race, although, by rowing slowly, they were ale to finish.

It was originally planned to row the race at 5 o'clock down stream, but it was decided to take advantage of the flood tide and row upstream. A heavy wind blowing diagonally across the course made the water very choppy. Only the shells of the Law School and Seniors crews were provided with wash boards, and the others began to fill from the start.

The start was made at 3.25 o'clock. The Seniors immediately took the lead and settled down to a stroke of 35, closely followed by the Freshmen, the Sophomores and the Juniors. The Law School oat got away last, rowing a 38 stroke. At the half-mile the Seniors still held their lad with a steady stroke of 34. the Freshmen were about a quarter of a length behind. A little farther to the rear were the Sophomores, and behind them the Juniors. The Law, School crew was last. As the crews approached the bridge the Law School boat gained on the Juniors and the Sophomores, whose boat, by this time, was rapidly filling. The Freshmen, who had the wall position, were better protected and consequently their boat did not fill so rapidly. On passing under the bridge the Seniors spurted and came out a length ahead of the Freshmen, who were now closely followed by the Law School. From this point the 1904 and 1905 crews were clearly out of the race, although they managed to keep afloat for another half-mile, after which the Junior boat sank. The Sophomores continued for another hundred yards when they also sank. Both crews were picked up by the launch "John Harvard." About three-eighths of a mile from the finish the Freshmen were obliged to cease rowing though they managed to cross the line.

In the last half-mile, the race between the Seniors and the Law School was very close. The Seniors had a lead of half a length which the Law School was unable to reduce even with a spurt which was made a quarter of a mile before the finish. At this point the Seniors, who had been rowing a 36 stroke, increased it to 40, and won by three-quarters of a length. The time of the race was 12 minutes and 4 seconds, which, considering the very unfavorable weather conditions, was faintly good.

The order of the Weld Seniors was as follows; Stroke, Wolcott; 7, Hartwell; 6, Derby; 5, Bent; 4, Greenough; 3, Ernst; 2, Roberts; bow, George; cox., Kelley.
