ML nsttrnck or something."
H&' nor much nrcrnno.
Kt Ona good-tlied bot was mads this morning t
K' Shorter oddt; f 800 to $100 on Cornell agalnat
Bk- the Held. For the most part, honorcr. tlio bat-
K$ tins Vra Terr slow whero Cornell was consld-
K? ered. Small bets vrero mado freely at ovens
B) between Columbia and Pennsylvania, though
WX the majority of tho rnughkeopslo iieoplo
mi'. teemed to fancy tho chances of tho red and bltio
Bf?1 oyer those of tho bluo and white. For one
Wk ithlnjf, tho boatmen at tho rlvor front mado
jj up tholr minds that tho raco was koIwt to
HS be between Cornell and Pennsylvania, and tho
S? opinion of these Hudson Rlvor Soluna hns croat
m.'f Weight locally. This fecllm: Is not In tho loast
Bg,' affected by the fact that nearly all of them " rock-
Si" oned'1 that Harvard "couldn't be boat" before
mi the Oornell-Yalo-Harvard raco. Local faith still
3: remains truo to tholr judgment.
BM "Can't fool them," say the Pouehkeepstans.
K& "They ain't much on form one! such contrap-
HV tlons, but they know when ft boat's bolng rowed
El' fast and when It ain't."
Mj Besides this bias to opinion, the sympathy of
my tho townspeople Is with Pennsylvania rather
&' than Columbia, or, to put It more accurately,
BU, they are against Columbia all tho time. Two
K years ago, when tho bluo and whlto won, n. gang
BJfc' of lU,nndcrgraduatcs, by no means typical of
KSjj tho University, but unfortunatoly regnnlod as
BJk being to, because of tho notoriety they
Bi Achieved, proceedod tn oelabrato by smashing
mb'- and wrecking everything In roach that was
BJjK tanashablo or wreckablc. In this cheerful occu-
BJfc patlon they were led by n young man who has
K Blnco figured In an unsavory way in Now York's
BKJ police annals. That ho did not appear horo this
Kv year Is a matter of satisfaction to tho town In
BE general, but they nevertheless regarded with
Bgg apprehension tho possibility of Columbia's fin-
BK tsblng In front,
BKf This unpopularity does not extend to the
BK? crew. They nro universally llkod and respected,
j' and they were not without somo adherents who
Bk' all along bellovcd In the possibility of a big ur-
BEs prise on the part of tho Now York boys. So fow
BJP Pennsylvania men, comparatively, have been
Hp seen about tho town that there was hardly any
I': personal feeling for or ngalnst them; but almost
Hjf. everybody liked Cornell.
Bfc Up to tho mlddlo of tho aftornoon Poughkeep-
HjJ'1 do was hardly more lively than on any ordinary
BKh day. One would not havo suspected that an
Hfcf lntcrcolloglato event vtns on tho boards. A Httlo
BJt'i group of youths with gay ribbons, flags or but-
BEv tons In front of tho Nelson llouso, and a fow
Bj collegians In duck trousers or golf suits, were
BE? tho only signs that anything unusual was going
BJfe on. -It was tormentingly hot, and most of tho
BJ& itrangors in town were too busy trying to kcop
Hi cool to exhibit any exuberance of spirit.
H'A cnoWOS DE01N TO COME.
Hk) Later, tn tho aftornoon, howovor, tho crowds
Hfs began to como, and then began tho preliminary
HRI, talking over and oxchanglngof pointers. AH
BBif the college ex-athletes and self-constituted ex-
HeOs porta, "wore centres of attention and query.
HJV Wherever tho cap or coat of a freshman crew
HJjP Bum was seen, thcro was a little surrounding
BEp group, eagerly questioning him as to the out-
BKn look.
BB&. "How ore tho men looking I"
BBg " Is No. 7's wrist nil right !"
BBS "I heard last night that somo of the men are
ft tick."
BBJ& " You've seen the men. "What do you think the
BB&. Odda ought to be I"
BBjjf ' "What Is tho scheme for to-day I Will our
Hfv-s aengooutat first to get tho lead I"
KL For every question thcro woro a dozen differ-
K7; ent answers, all equally positive. In tho lobby
Hkt and In front of the hotel where tho crowds catli-
Hi ered thickest rumors flow like sparks from a
HKs mitten brand. Undoubtedly somo of them wero
Hk- takes started to lntluonco the betting. Avery
Ki- professional lookiDg sport went about spreading
HK a report that several of Cornell's men wero
BB lame, which Interested tho crowd very much.
HE? tuitil it was discovered that the man wns trying
BR to place bets on the Ithaca lads. Then the placo
Bh was made so unpleasant for him that he left.
Hk: Cut without rumors Intentionally faked thoro
Hlk was plenty of Information, such as it was, to bo
; fathered on all sides. To stand for three min-
Hft'i r &tes in a group was to hear something of this
BflFlt order:
HKT They say Pennsylvania's men are pulling an
HE"----' BWf ally strong stroke."
Kr " Yes. but tcey.'ro ragged. I understand Ellis
p Word thinks they'll be lucky If they're third."
HKf "Come off. Uo told his crew last night they
B?-, were going to win.' '
HE? "All bluff. Cornell will pull In by ten lengths."
HE "Set you she won't. I saw a man hero a mln-
HK" n'e ago that said ho got even money against
HE Cur-iell in New York this morning."
HBS "Don't you wish you could find some around
beret"
B " I'm 'not so sure Cornell will win. A fellow
BBKX who came from their boathouse Just now says
HE"?' they're overconfident and havo gone off in
K their training."
HKs "Catch Courtney letting that bnppenl But If
3 Cornell should flunk it'll be Columbia."
e "Like ice! Why, you can get even money
;i that Columbla'll bo four lengths behind the
RfT winner at the finish."
Kr "Columbia may have something up her
R& alcove Their boat travels pretty fast."
K': "Any boat travels fast un'il you see another
Eg boatnext to It travelling faster."
i "Say. did any of you fellows hear anything
Kf aboutFcnnsylvania s men being off tbclr feed I
?' " No: but I beard that Courtney's got corns.
f and Ellis Ward's throat has got an attack of
HEt! negaphonitla."
HK'.j QUAKKns TO I1KAT COLUMBIA.
HKT And so the talk went on interminably, broak-
HKc 'log off when somobody came up to otlcr a bet,
HE,i only to be resumod again as soon as tho bet ns
HV?: taken or refused, lito in tho afternoon bets of
HE'i'l- 80 to 50 wero made on Pennsyhania against
HEi Columbia, and It was even money that the bluo
K and wfaito would finish Inst.
HrS Well along in the afternoon a report went tho
HE'Si rounds which filled tho Cornell hearts with Joy.
HE" Itwas authentic and came direct from Cornell
HE?: neadquartera. Courtney hnd nulil:
" Under favorablo conditions, and I think no
Kj; shall bavo fftornb!o condltioiiK, I look tnseo
HBI1 Cornell establish n new record for tho distance.
HB-- In fact It would not suniriso mo tn seo nil threo
ff of tho crews cross tho lino in much better tlino
HB.', tbantho other 'varsity raco was won In. A
Bflflfe Strong ebb tldo will bo running, and from tbo
BHrc presont outlook tho water should bo good."
k; "That means." said tho Jubilant Cornell men,
L "that Courtney Is going nut for tho rcrord and
HB doesn't anticipate uny trouble from tho other
fJ, crews, lie must bo mighty sure of bis men to
talk that way."
EEBn Shortly after, however, the conditions began
BEvr to assumo a less favorablo aspect. Clouds ciimo
k up in the west, and n thunder storm nrneu to
Pc view about half past 4, but slid around tothu
Kji' south. Up to this time Hhnt llttlo hri'P7o thcro
HHk was had been from tho north, bnrcly enough to
rufile tho surfneo of tho wnter, but now
HB... came puffs from the storm in the south. A
cross breeze chopped tho water up nnd presently
HHk swung around into thn southuest, freshening
K, until flecks of whlto showed hero and thcro on
K'- the brown-green water. Overhead the sky wns
&. clear enough, but tho wind Kept up persistently.
Ha, and tho crowd, which by this tlino hnd gathered
HHf-' 'n considerable numlioro on tho west shore, miw
HHr. the little fleet of yachts sw lnglng arcnnid, stern
HHtr.r in toward the shoro. Notwithstanding Hint tho
& crowd in Poughkeeple hnd lieen small. Hint
jm, on the other side grow rapidly, nnd thu track
IL was soon allvowlth people walking down to-
(V ward thecurvo, amllo to tho houth, whero tlio
Jf' observation train stood waiting. Then wero II-
If lustrated the wclnl nnd lnoxpllcnblo methods
which obtain In thoconiluctof an observation
?; train. It was generally understood that
b tho train was to wait until forty-llvo
F,: minutes or therealnuts beforo starting
bl! down to tho Btat ion. This ns thu com bo in tbo
B& other races. This tlino, houuvcr, tho train
t'; started at 4:45, an hour and a quarter licforo
jETf the tlmo set for tho raco, pn:siug sovcrnl him-
K; dred persons who hnd walked lou n to get their
t; peats, to their extreme and outspoken illhcunt.
n Then the front locomotive stopped at tbo High-
a, lands statlen, and tho people who had walked
g up that bro stretch of track had tho bcnotlt of
HHv the exercise of wnlklng hack ngnln.
Vf There was a mile-long streak of profanity,
" thick enough to throw a tiuln olf tlio track
where they hnd been. For a long tlmo tho tmln
4 waited at tbo station and thu crowd, which
ft bad augmented until It more than half tilled
;) the train of llftj-threo ears, cast about
TMi It for what amusement It might tlnd. As tho
A.! arerago colleglnu, be ho gr.idu.ttu or undorgnd-
jM?r uate, comrs out to an ntlilctio contest with his
TOlce Ilmlered and oiled, It was only natural
that the dcslro for nmuscmeni should find ox-
presslon In exulxsrnnt vacant s .
r Threo Cornell girls stnrted tho fun by walking
g along on tbo river bank with tings over their
ET1 shoulders. Tho flags wero no brighter In red
WL than the dresses of thexu mlsscb, nnd no
V purer tn white thun tbo big four-ln-hand
'M Uos tbuy woro, Now. It is not well
K"- (or young women sensitive to puhllu at-

"I' (aces were as red us tlii'irdrcsbis. 'lliey blushed
', until it seemed as If thuy couldn't hn o had an-
mWmf other blush left. For this is what the obterva-
KHn' tlon oars observed:
RHr " Look at tho three Cornell poaches,"
Nkt1 " With their rod uiiles toward tho sun,"
BKi " Olvo oni a ( hcur."
'' "Cornell, I yell, jell, jcll.Cornelll"
f " Yum-yum-yiini, How tun they lusul"
The trio looked much reliuvod when they
" finally roochtil their car. Presently along c.iuio
L: alargo bloodhound swuthei In blue mid white,
pi, and the Columbia men, who wcrolu the majority
h on the train, shook out their banners, luotenod
. up their throats, nnd gnvo tho dog a rousing
jk cheer. Later he roapjearot sailing composodly
jK- along tbo courso tp a naphtha launch.
HH At a quarter after Uvirthe Cornell Uunch
HI L.
steamed tip th courso toward tho starting
placo with tho shell in tow, and many an opera
glass was turned upon the boat, whoso sharp
stern post had been In full. If somowhat distant,
vlow of Ynlo and Harvard a fow days beforo.
Just after that flvo young mcnwearlng Inrge,
brond-brliumcd straw hats vound with l'rfnn
sylvan la colors, landed from a boat nnd dis
played themselves conspicuously, announc
ing that they wero the plmtlcai crow of
tho good sloop Hea Ilass, that tblr en
sign displayed an Inverted flnsk, Hint their
. motto wns " water, wntor overy where but novcr
a drop inside," and, that, generally sponklng,
they wero tho rcnl thing, and posnossed of nn
1 abiding carelessness as to how gener
ally the recognition of that fact might
lie sprend abroad. Naturally tho crowd ho
gnn to guy them, nnd they gujod back,
nnd every lKHiy enjovod It oxcopt a fcstlvo youth
who hnd loft his scat and the girl ho
brought with him. nnd returned In It only to
find tho girl surrounded by tho "Son Hisses,'
nnd apparently appreciating tholr attentions to
the utmost. Diplomacy averted n war In that
quarter, and all was lovoly when, at a quartor
befo'o 0, tlio train started, ,
As it emerged from bohlnd tho row of buildings
Ponnsy's launch was seen going up tho rlyor,
and Ponnsy's men on tho train raised tholr voices
and melodiously warblod their ancient strain,
"Onky wow wowl
Whhfcey wow wowl
Holy mackei-eyel
Kentuckl ye1
l'cnnsr Irani oyeltl"
A UISCOUUA01NO WAIT.
With a will tlio Columbia men answered tho
slognn ns tholr lnunch appeared. Tho observa
tion train rnttlcd to a stop, and thon began a
long and tedious wait, which caused the crowds
tosny words about the raco ollUIals as violent
as those they had previously applied to tho train
officials. ...
At this tlmo thcro was a lively hrcezo out of
tho south-southeast, which milled up tho water
unplcnsnntlr and caused on ominous whip
ping of tho whlto flags on tho stake
boats. Tho rofereo's boat Bet out down
tho courso, Cornell's launch swerved olf
nnd lay quiet fnr over toward tbo
cast shore, Ponnsylvauin'sbont steamed a milo
orsodotvn the rtver, Columbia's steamer cut
awny up stream, and tho bowling populaco
called upon hoacn and enrtb to witness that
thoy woro being made the innocent victims of
dish-dashed otlicinl foolery, which would prob
ably koep them out there nil night.
Jor three-quarters of an hour after tho set
tlmo tbey i-ompnred notes on this BUblcct boforo
tbo reforco'B boat finally appeared and pavo tbo
signal for the men to prepare. Thon ill humor
melted awny and thrro was a groat choer.
Menntlnio a big sido-whoeler. commanded by
a captain who ought to bo in jail, and probably
will be If the police chooso to hold him to tho
letter of the law, enmo down thu river
a Httlo west of tho mlddlo at full speed.
Immediately the police boats signalled to
tlio boat, which was tho Jacob II. Trein
per, to sheer off nnd go slow or. but
tbo Captain paid no attention. Not until both
polico boats ran up closo nnd gavo n verbal
order did tho sldonhcolcr slow up, and no sooner
hnd sho passed on beyond enrshot. than sho
went ahead at full spoed again. In calm
water tho result might havo been n serious
swell, nnd even though In tho rough water
tho swell was hardly perceptible to tho
eye it probably mado tlio work of
the shells appreciably hnrdor. and con
tributed to tho disnstor of tho Pennsylvania
crow. It was not long after sho passed that tho
wearv crowds cheeroil tho first crew to reach
tho float. At that tlmo tho wind was beginning
to fall, but it was apparent that tho record
would not bo endangered in such choppy water.
STOUT OF THE JtA.CE.
Haw Easy It Wns for Cornell ana now the
Quakers Hwamprd.
PouoiiKnEreiK, July 2. It was exactly 0:45
o'clock when the wblstlo on tho refcreo's boat
emitted Ilvo piercing blasts, and tho crowd be
gan to wako up. This was tho signal for tho
crews to get ready for tho race, and tho Cornell
launch Immediately mado a bce-llno for tho
float. Tho shell was carefully drawn to tho
float, tho crew fitted tho oars in quickly, and
then, as ono man, they got In and rowed away
amid enthusiastic applause. The Pennsylvania
mon wero much slower in getting under way,
and the Columbia men wero so dilatory that tbo
shells did not bear down toward tho lino until
7:10 o'clock.
Tho police boats, mcanwhllo, had unsuccess
fully tried to stop tho steamer Jacob 11. Trcm
per from coming down the river, but the pilot
refused to regard tho orders of the Government
officials and kept under way right down past tho
Btart. Tho steamer undoubtedly caused somo
swells, and thcro was no end of fault finding
from everybody.
Tho water was In fairly good condition at
this time, and tho crowd was becoming more
impatient every minute. Cornell had the out
side course, Pennsylvania tho mlddlo, and
Columbia the insldo. Tho last-named crew had
a slight advantage, in that the water near the
bank was like a mill pond, while out In tho
middle of the river whlto cops were visible, es
pecially In tho vicinity of tho bridge.
At 7:15 o'clock everything was ready, and
threo minutes later tho rcforco sent tho crews
away to a fine start. Tho red end blue flags of
tho Quaker crowd flashed upward In a jiffy as
the Pennsylvania crew caught tho water first
and dashed into tho lead, tho men pulling thirty
four vigorous strokes to tho minute. Columbia
and Cornell mado about an even start, tho for
mer rowing thirty-four and the latter thirty-two.
Pennsylvania men wero besido themselves
with Joy ns thoy saw their shell loading by a
quarter of a length 100 yards after the start
But they evidently overlooked tho ragged work
in the boat and the constant splashing w blch in
tho end brought dlro disaster.
"Hooray C-o-l-u-m-b-l-a." This was in tho
throats of hundreds as tho bluo and whlto crow
began to sprint und slowly forged ahead wheu
tho shell had travelled 200 yards. The Colum
bias wero rowing In splendid style. Their stroko
wns long nnd steady, their oars wero pulled
through tho smooth water with scarcely a
ripple, and their body work was something
beautiful.
Tho Cornell crew, as In tho raco against Har
vard and Yale, was in no way affected by tbeso
spurts. Tho men were rowing tho same stroke
which carried them to victory last wcok, nnd
their watermanship, in spite of tho choppy con
dition of their part of tbo courso, was simply
superb. Bo perfectly did thoy manipulate tho
sweeps that thcro wasn't an expert on tho spot
who didn't bcllove that they would prove vic
tors, although at that time they wero the rear
guurd.
At the quarter-mile post the Columbia men
wero still rowing a clever raco, but tholr boat
did not nppoar to be travelling as fast as It
should, considering the strength of tho men and
tho placid surface of the water near the shore.
There was a slight hang between strokes, and
the blado work was beginning to bo a trlflo poor.
The Pennsylvania crew, this early, was rowing
in surprisingly poor form. There was plenty of
splashing and tho men wero doing everything
but adhere to the stroke in which Coach Ward
had so faithfully Instructed them. Tho
Quakers wero superb specimens of physical de
velopment, but that doosn't count fur much In
an eight-oared raco it tho oars nnd slides nro
not managed with skill and tact.
Tho Cornell crow, on tho contrary, was begin
ning to get into tho gamo at this point.
CO UN KM, TAKES THE I.KAD,
Tbo Ithacnns had sottlod down to a thirty-two
stroko and tholr shell wns ploughing
along at a lively rntc. About fifty yards
after tho quarter-mile mark tho red
nnd whlto boat got Into tho load nnd
novcr let go of it after that. It wasn't a big
lead, though, at this stage, for Columbia and
Pennsylvania woro pulling aw ay fur dear life to
keep within hailing distance of Court lie 'h
champions, bo that for quite a spell thcro wimn't
a length's difference between tho threo crews.
"Cornell I" wns thu cry now, lor it was clearly
apparent that the Ithacnns wero tho best oars
men In every roped, mm with over threo and
a half miles more to go the) would simply walk
awuy from the othcis.nml easily at that.
Cornell was leading by half a length at tho
half-mllo murk, and Coluiuhla nnd tho Quakers
wero neck ami neck. The Ithacnns had low
ered their stroke to Hi, and wero going
uiong ns if cnjojing a practice pull. There
wasn't uny unxicty in the Cornull boit,
uppaiently, for the coxswain was sitting back
complacently uui, was not Indulging In much
encouragement, lor thu men didn't need uny,
und wero moving im It guided b boino median
leal appllam v,
Columbia and Pcuusjlvunlu wero still on oven
terms and they wuio working like Trojans. Thu
Columbia shell wus still benefitted by reasona
bly smooth water, and thu crew's watermen
ship was llrsl class. Hut tho Quakers seemed to
bo bolluicd by rough water aud wero still row
ing b idly,
"They'll bo swumpedt" wu thu comment ull
along tbo lino as tho l'biludcluhia ecu-
r
tinned their spray-throwing act, Justthen
Columbia began to shoot ahead a trifle, and
gained perceptibly on Cornell. " Ponnsr" also
came up and at tho three-quarter mark they
wero having a royal light, with Courtney's crow
still slightly In tho load. Tho Ithacans wero
now doing n llttln splashing, but In a moment It
disappeared nnd tho oars resumed tholr smooth
dipping with mnrvellous precision and time.
"Cornell leads by half n longth I" was the
general exclamation nt tho ono-mllo point,
Thcro was no doubt about tholr loading, but
whether It wns by half n length or ft furlong it
was lmposslblo for tho nowspnpor men to mnko
out bocnuso of tho oxecrable handling of tho
observation train, which caused tho press car to
bo run almost half a mllo ahead of tho crews.
Later It was seen that Columbia and Pennsyl
vania were still upon oven terms, with tho Quak
ers showing signs of rattles nnd doing plenty
of splashing. It was not so muoh rough
water or swells that causod this as
tho fact that tho men woro not rowing cleanly.
They woro neglecting to feather high and their
oars wero cutting through tho waves on every
Bt roko. The Columbia's woro still In good water
ond wore bowling along tn cloan fashion, al
though tho spoed was not what the critics had
expoctod.
Cornell was rowing thirty-one strokes at tho
mllo, Columbia was pulling thirty, and Pennsyl
vania thirty-two. A quarter of n mile further
on It was thought that tho Ithacans wero por
haps a good thrco-quortors of a longth ahead,
with Columbia a quartor of a length In front of
Pennsylvania,
"Oh, what a crabl" shouted a veteran as ono
of tho Pennsylvania oars sent up a small col
umn of water which the broezo turned Into
spray and blew all over tho coxswain.
"Thero's onothor I" said a second veteran who
had a glass focusscd on tho Quaker shell. The
splaBhlng by the Pennsylvnnians seemed to bo
chronic, whlto tho work of tho othor eights was
comparatively smooth. Thero was no doubt but
that the shell was taking In water slowly but
surely, and that tlio coxswain felt like a wet
hen.
"Cornell will walk In!" was tho general com
ment when tho Ithacans passed tho ls mile
mark a longth ahead and rowing thirty strokes,
which wero elenn, hard, and yet gracefully
pulled. Tho Columblos wero socond, and wero
gliding through tho water nt a comparatively
even pace, about half a length ahoad of tho
aplnsblng Quakers.
"Their shell Is filling!" yelled tho Pennsyl
vania rooters, as they watched tho red and bluo
oarsmen laboriously pulling along at this stage.
Tho Quakers wero rowing thirty to tho minute,
and nearly every oar was cutting up capors.
"Feather high for heaven's sakol" screamed
tho coxswain as a small cloudburst made him
gasp for breath. Hut tho men tn the shell wero
rattled beyond redemption, and were rowing in
any old Btylo.
Cornell was drawing away easily now and
rowing n thirty-stroke too. Itwas apparently
no effort for tho champions to propel tholr boat
through the chops and against tho wind, which
was quite stiff. In fact tho moro'dlstance they
covered tho less exerted they seemed to be, and
yet their shell was flying along at a great rate.
AT THE riALF-WAY MAI1IT,
A good two lengths separated tho leaders from
Columbia at tho two-mile mark. The Ithacans
were rowing 31 strokes, Columbia 32, and tho
Quakers were trying to get away with 30. Tho
Philadclphlans were hopelessly In tho rear now,
being at least four lengths behind tho bluo and
white.
"Just look at that splashing 1" ejaculated
hundreds, as the Quakers went on hammering
tho water and throwing up clouds of spray. The
Httlo coxswain was yelling frantically through
his megaphone, but tho men In front of him
wero Just as frantic, nnd with every stroko they
wero sending tbo water over tho sides of the
sboll by tho bucketful.
"Tho boat Is full of wotornow!" was the re
mark of an eagle-eyed man who had a small
sited Lick telescope "Tho water Is up to their
knees nnd It Is pouring over tho washboards."
"Oh, I do hopo tho boys won't elnkl" ex
claimed a Pennsylvania girl. "Mr. So-and-So
has promised to take mo to a danco to-night, and
it would bo dreadful if ho should bo drowned."
"There's no danger," her escort said; "If they
sink they will be picked up!"
The Pennsylvania coxswain by this tlmo was
sitting in tbo water. Tho men In tho body of
the boat wero throwing up moro spray, and tho
waves wero tumbling in over tho sides.
"Stop splashing nnd kccpcooll" cried the cox
swain, as tho boat continued to fill. Coach Ward
was watching everything from the launch Ben
Franklin, nnd when ho snw that It was a hope
less tnsk to continuo the race ho blew two
whtstlci ns a signal to stop rowing, nnd then
Bteercd tho lnunch to tho shell.
But the Quakers, In this instance, refused to
obey Ward. They continued rowing with des
peration, although they wero all seated in tho
water. Tho stern was practically submerged,
and it was only a question of n few moments
when thu wholo shell w ould plunge beneath tho
waves.
"Thero sho goes t" was tho chorus on all
sides, but tho Bhclt didn't sink. It simply set
tled a Httlo moro ob tho men kept pulling their
oars nnd continued their fatal splashing.
Then camo a climax, and with it tho end of
Fcnns)lvnnla's efforts. Two of tbo men caught
large-sized crabs, two moro bumped tho backs of
tbo men in front of thorn with tholr oar han
dles, and then tho wholo crew stopped rowing as
tho bout lurched and wabbled, tho water rush
in? in over tho sides.
Tbo launch w ns nenr nt hand, nnd even though
tho boat bad boon sunk, thero would have been
no danger, ns tho men could have kept up
until fished out. Tho nrcldcnt, however,
wns most heartrending to tho Pennsyl
vnnians. All tho hard work of tho post
six or eight mouths, all the coaching
and patience of Kills Ward, nil tho hopes and
expectations of thousands who follow tho red
and bluo hnd gono for naught. Tho least
that tho Quakers had hoped for was
a run for tholr money anil tho prosonco of tholr
crtw somowhero at tho finish. Hut to bo
swamped, ignouiinlnusly and hopelessly, less
than two und a half miles after leaving tho
start was a Mow from which tho Pennsylvn
nians will not recover in a long time.
Thero wero expressions of sympathy for
tho Quakers on all hides. Men who hnvo
rowed In 'varsity shells and know what
swamping moans almost crlod us thoy
naw tho plucky l'hllndelphlans forced
to gio up tho fight. And when tbo observation
train horo tbo crowd further down toward tho
bridge, leaving tho submerged oarsmon up
stream, tho crowd still felt for Ward's unfortu

Bteercd tho shell by keeping away from rough

Tho wntor below the bridge, by tho way, was
not rough by any means, which guaranteed a
grand finish by tbo Ithacans. As they slid past
tho 3i-mllo post they wore pulling thirty
strokes to tho ininuto in superb form, nnd thoy

Tho victorious crow was now passing the roa

llow tbe Crowd Scattered.
Pouqhkeepsie, July 2. The air was still reso
nant with acclaim of tho victors when the crowd
began to scatter. Down tho track was a special
train for the Philadclphlans. Nobody socmed
to know when It was going to start,
but hundreds took a chanco and rushed for it to
get Beats. Others stuck to tho observation train
and wero carried back to tho ferry with its
dtminutlvo boats. Scores of row-boats whoso
Jiroprlctors vouched for tholr ability to carry a
lozcn men scurrlod along the shoro picking up
pasgengcrs.
Out in the stream tho whlto yachts and grace
ful Httlo i-alllng craft wheeled and spread llko
a nock of birds suddenly alarmed. The dusky
surfaco of tho rlvor was covered with
craft spoodlng swiftly In all directions. On
tho darkening shoro a long sorpent mnde upof
human foot-travellers wound slowly along. The
college launches had scudded away with tbo
crews, all but Cornell's. Her crew stuck to their
boat, pulled up tbe river a short distance, and
then, as tho wind had died away, pointed across
for hor boathouse.
On the Poughkccpsle side the bluffs were llnod
with waiting people. Tho last sight of the groat
regatta wock was the champion crew speeding,
with their quick, graceful swing, across tbo
calm stretch of river to their quarters.

Pennsylvania Men Claim That tbe lYater Was
Too Rough ftor flowing.
PocangEEi-siE, July 2. When tbo Pennsyl
vanlacrew returned to tho boathouse Capt. Boyle
said to a reporter of The Sun: "Our boat half
flllod with watcrat the start. The water was too
rough. Wo hadn't gono three lengths before it
came in In floods. I objected to starting tho
raco, and so did Ward. Wo both told
tho referee It was too rough. I attribute our
misfortune to his mlstako In sending tho raco
off before tbe water smoothed dow n. It Is a bad
blow to tho Poughkeepste course so far as tho
University of Pennsylvania Is concerned. I hare
no apology to make, nor do I deslro to detract
from tho glory of tho winner. Cornell won the
race on merit. This Is the second tlmo a Penn
sylvania crew has swamped on the Pougbkccp
bIo courso. Tbo last tlmo was in 1895, when tho
crow went down undor tho bridge. Wo rowed
until we couldn't row any longer. I was sliding
In tho water. I think wo could havo beaten the
Cornells with fair luck. I nm confident of It, ns
we showed It at the start. Columbia, on tho
Inner course, had smoother water."
Coach Ward said: " I objected to rowing tho
race In rough water and so did Coach Courtney.
Thcro was no sonso In It, as tho tldo would
havo run down until 10 o'clock. Tho
swells were so choppy that thoy lifted tho
washboards off the paper boat. I never
intendod to row In rough water. If I had I
would havo sent the crew out In thn codar boat.
There was no excuso for starting thn raco so
early. look at tho water now IH o'clock) itndBco
how Hinooth It is."
Manager Fearing of tho Columbia crew said
he saw the Pennsylvania shell fill with water
aud ho attributed It to their bad watermanship.
Thoy scooped tho water In with enth stroko
of tho oars. Tho Columbia crew, ho said,
would havo mado a better showing had the
wator been rougher. Only about nn Inch of
waior came Into thu Columnla's sboll during tho
raco, and thoy hnd washboards on and short
boards over the outriggers, whllo Pennsylvania
hud washboards all around. Cornoll shipped
Httlo water.
Couch Cowles of tho Columbia crew snld:
"Our crow novcr rowed In bettor form. Thoy
finished in perfect condition, able to hnvo
pulled tho raco over again. Wo liellovo
that tho Cornoll crow is without exception
tho fastest eight that over sat in a boat.
Wo nUo bollovo that they had a course vastly
suporlorto tbo insidu course. Had the same
conditions provnilod to tbo finish which
nrevnllcd during tho first two miles, I
bollovo Columbia would have beaten Cor
nell. That is, wo bollovo our crow
faster In rough water. Hut Cornell won tho raco
fairly and squarely and Is entitled to all crocllt
for what thoy accomplished. Wo feel perfectly
satisfied with tho stroko our crew row oil aud
believe that tho socrct of Cornell's phenomenal
speed is tho perfect action of her men in tho
bont."
Magistrata Cornell ald: "The ontaldo courso
Is vastly superior to tho Inside. Tho wholo
com so ought to bo moved to tbo middle of tho
river."
Cnpt, Prcssprlch of tho Columbia crew snld:
"Tho water at tho stnrt was choppy, but all
right to row thn race, although itwas not good
for fnst time. Columbia held to a stroko from
tho start not over l'i or tin. Plerrepont, our
stroko, seta lino paeo, nnd ovary man rowed a

WHITE8TONE, L. I July 2. Herman Hess,
a member of tho Board of Education, was
roughly handled at a meeting of tho board to
night, and the meeting broke up In a row, dur
ing which the lights went out. Clothes wore
torn and hats battered, but no ono was badly
hurt.
Trustee Hess, who composes tho minority In
tho board, was ojected from tho meeting room
last Friday evening at tho Instance of tho pro

sisted In reading to tbo board a letter from Stato
Superintendent Skinner in which that officer
gavo nn opinion that tho board is not legally
oonstituted because ono of its members, Oliver
Crooks, was appointed to till a vacancy by
School Commlnslonor William 31. Peck, who,
tho Superintendent says, has not tbo authority
to appoint a member of tho board. Crooks s
veto wosj nocossary to fill another vacancy, to
which J. C. Parsons was elected by tbo board,
and both tho now mombors voted for I,. W. En
sign as President. This, Mr. Hess contends,
makes tho board an Illegal ImhIv nnd also In
validates Its acts, which include tho recent Issue
of sf'JD.OOO bonds for it new school building.
lo-nlght Hess attempted again to read tho
opinion from tho Stnto Superintendent. Presi

yesterday nftcrnoon charged with Mealing tho
Idol of Buddlut from Henry II. Foulko of Phila
delphia. It Is tho imago through which Foulko
gained notoriety In his contost fur tho succes
sion to Mnio. Blavnlsky and tlio leadership of
tlio Thcosophicnl Bocloty In Amorlcn. Crnno
wns overtaken by Selectman Samuel N. Crock
er and Foulko on tho Now Bodford road In tho
town of Marlon, and was taken back to Parker
Mills, whero Pollccmnn Jnh.i Holland mado tho
formal arrest upon a warrant Issued by Clerk
William L. Cblpman of iho District Court.
Crano was lodged In Waroham Jail.
Foulko says ho has had suspicions of a con
spiracy of lato at his camp ground. Ho Bays
It has been Inspired by rivals In tho Tlnglcy
camp. Crano, who camo to Onset Bay camp
six weeks ago, has been undor surrolllanco,
according to Foulko, over slnco bis arrival.
Foulko Bays that when ho aroso yestordny morn
ing ho found that tho window nt tho rear of his
cottago In tho dining room had been forced
open In tho night. Ho soon discovered that
tho chorishod idol of Buddha was gono. Noth
ing elso was missed. Ho says that ho had rea
son to bollovo that Crano was making what
appeared to bo strenuous efforts to got out of
town, that Crano had attempted to hiro a boat
to go to New Bedford with, hut at noon ho had
succeeded In hiring a snddlo horso of Livery
man Ucorgo Jones for his Now Bedford trip,
pledging n watch offered as socurlty by Fred
Cook. Shortly after noon Crnno sturtod, and
Foulko went on utter hltu on his bicycle.
When Foulko reached Warchum bo sought
out Clerk Cblpman nnd tho warrant was Issued.
Then, not being ablo to find a conBtablo
readily, ho secured tho asslstanco of Selectman
Crocker. Thoy followed tho horseman until he
was overtaken in Marlon. Crnno was disposed
to defy them at first, but upen being told by
Mr. Crocker that they would follow him to Now
Bedford ho gavo up and said ho would go
back with them. Foulko Isccurod tbo. brldlo
or tho horso and started to lead him buck to
Warcham. They had got a short way when
Crano .naked for a match to light n cigarette
As ha struck tlra ho Btiatchod Foulko's cap.
Foulko did not rcloaso his hold of tho bridle
and thus, bareheaded and bald In tho hot sun,
with tho Httlo man on tho horso and Scloctmnn
Crocker In his cnrrlago following, they camo
Blowly Into Wnrcham Centre Crano obtained
a bondsman In Onset, and ho was released for
nppcaranco at tho pleasure of tho court for a
hearing.
Tho chaso from Onset Bay Orovo to East
Waroham, through Wareham Narrows, and
into Marion was exciting. Foulko shouted for
aid to stop a thief, and many turned out to
learn what was gotng on. Down at tho camp
ground, whero Foulko is very iwpular, his
friends wero loud in denouncing Crane. Tho
Imago of Buddha Is tho famous ono which was
tbe object of Buch a hoatod controversy be
tween Mr. Foulko and Annlo Hcsant, both claim
ing it as a personal boquost from Mmc. Ulavat
sky, and which Foulko says ho finally obtained
by rather sorero threats.
Foulko took it to London with him when ho
went to Itlavatsky's headquarters there, aud
it was duly consecrated to tho life mission of
herself. This is tho idol through whlclOho
mysterious Mahatma "Morlo" recently com
municated with Foulke, he says, and by means
of which tho "precipitated" letter camo for tho

spectators who had come from erery country of the
globe to witness them.
On Sunday, TUE NEW YORK TIMES ILLUSTRATED
WEEKLY MAGAZINE will contain thirty-serin
pictures, reproduced from tho only authorised photo
graphs made of tbe ceremonies of the diamond
Jubilee. This will be the Ant time these pictures
wilt hare appeared on thlssldoof the Atlantic, and
as THE TIMES has purchased the exclusive copy
right, not a single picture of tbe beanttf nl group oam
be reproduced except by permission of this paper
No pains hare been spared to make the re prod na
tion of those pictures fully equal In effect to tbe orig
inal photographs. They have been specially engraved
by skilled artists, and will be printed on excellent
paper and In a style befitting their own merit, and
the Impressive grandeur and Importance of the
scenes presented.
A surrey of the pictures will offer the beet substi
tute for seeing the actual ceremonies, and will be the
best souvenir of tbe pageants to those who were
fortunate enough to see them. The entire procession,
from Its start at Buckingham Palace, along Its stately
march through Piccadilly, Fleet street, Cheapside,
and the Borough road, back to tbe palace, with all
the ceremonies on the route, can be reviewed almost
as well as If one occupied the hired window of some
thrifty scion of the British nobility.
All the most striking scenes In this most strtxtas;
of Imperial ceremonies, tn front of the cathedral
where the Queen and Empress form the centre of a
group of royal and world-famous personages, the R
splendid guard and escort; the visiting sovereigns,
princes and special envoys j generals and admirals re- m
nowned for great deeds and greater possibilities the 9
pomp and grandeur and power of Englandare re- S
reeled as If by some force of enchantment. ja
It Is not too much to say that he who looks eves1 M
these pictures will really see more of the Jnbtlee than 9
any one visitor could havo seen, and more than the la
Queen herself could possibly have witnessed.
Tbe thirty-seven pictures will be printed In the Hew 8
