TBI COLLEGE REGATTA. Cornell Hoping to Send the Champion Crews. HER MEN OF RENOWN. How the Oarsmen Look and What They Promise. Ithaca, N. Y., June 18, ISTfi. Wben Captain Ostrom and bis associates of the Cornell crew left Saratoga last summer they had already settled one perplexing matter?that la, tho better aize of men to maito good oarsmen. In that race the Ithacans felt sure of an excellent position, if they weie not tt>e winners, but nmsn Ing flftb in the contost and as;ern of plucky win lama was a bitter disappointment. Looking for the reason of their laliure it was determined? flrst, that tne crew was made up of men too big and too tall; or, in plainer language, tho shell tarried "too muoh beef;" and second, cnelr stroko was too alow and lacked tne all-essential element of being able to send the boat along witn any jpeed. Tnese were nappy conclusions for Cornell, but have been of service to her. So when tke ?indents began again to gather last autumn on University Hill Hnd the question or this year's crew was dlaous*ed?for discussed it was among tlie earlier matters requiring collejre attention? thero was mucn enthusiasm among tuc rugged boys. Better than enthusiasm was tne imme #iate offer 01 greenbacks, as well as strong backs ?mows 01 war not to bo reiused. Each was gladly accepted, and the gymnasium of this honored in Btitnrion once more bccame the scene of honest workers, striving to fit themselves with muscle and strength sufficient to pave tne way to victory lor the carnellan and white of their Alma Mater ?n Lake Saratoga. In this preliminary business lood-nalured Ostrom, of course, was the leading ipirtt. He folt that the responsibility was great; bnt, going into tne strugglo with all his heart and the accumulated experiences of regatta work yet (till iresn in his mind, there was nothing left un done to deserve success. SELECTING THE WINNERS. It was a matter of regret that but two of last year's crew wera found available for this. Four were compelled to rotlro, and of all that remained Dt the once thought invinclb.e aix were King una Ostrom. Still, these two men comprised abont everything that was worth saving from that de moralized crew, and in them was the nucleus or a food six, as they are representative patterns of strength, sameness ana aoMvity. Pulling at the weights, some walking and a dasn of running, now and then, put the selected men into shape for t he closer lines of discipline when tho ice dis appeared from ea.tuga Lake in the spring. Then Cornell thraw open the door of its unpretentious boati.ou&e, and with a little pardonable exultation Introduced her men, to whom ahe now intrusts, Its "faith triumphant o'er its feara," to tne pre liminary practice of tne barge. How steadily the crew haa since kept to the promise of this work it ?lone can telL The rough material wanted moulding, and time, paticnce and a master hand were required to do the hammering into shape. Tnese three requisites tne University is sure tbe men possess. If toe conclusion haa been based on sound reasoning Cornell will be in bet ter health and spirits at the wind-up or the com* Ing race man she was last year. Her friends, too, think that the wheel should twist their way at thla time, and not leave all the prises among her competitors. * ON CAYCGA LAKE. From toe 2$th of April the oarge and pair-oared ?ystem of training continued till a lortnight since, when their new paper sneli was delivered and all other pulling was suspended. These men I found yesterday at their training quarters on Untveralty Hill, by tbe kindness of Mr. E. M. Bsrtiett. clrs* '78. and rliht well and hearty were they looking. Their quarters, botn in the matter oi location and convenience, are infinitely auuerior to those oi 1874. and in this particular as well us others Cornell has taken a step toward improvement. Jt never was nor never wili t?e of au> service to a crew to Mde Itself uwav In dense woods during training, bnt that is just what Cornell dm last year with her men.

Charles Cyrus King, No. 6, cornea next, and Is worthy ol a moment's consideration. There Is seli-rellance wruien all over his face, and ambi tion is also mere to be observed. King pulied stroke last year, as he old In the Springfield boat, and, therefore, has had much experience tn racing shells. It nas been oi service to bim, as his oar bears the mark of oonstant improvement. At times he nas beiu in stroke's seat in the present shell, but 1 believe it Is pretty nearly settled that (Jstrom will occupy that important place and mike King Dim "right bower," a position he will llil with the utmost credit. There is something about tne exceedingly fine-grained and enduring look winch King nas mat would make a stranger drop a passing remark; ?ind he is Just as stead met as no looks. Were 1 at liberty to tell you wnai this student, who win graduare this year, has passed through, and what manual labor ne has daily performed to supply tiinaseif with the means or continuing his studies, you would b? surprised and give hiin the credit of boing a self denying seeker alter knowledge; but suffice it to say. lor tliree hours each day of nls college life King has worked at the carpenter's bencn in or der 10 accomplish what he had in view. Ana now mat inn end is near at hand it is to be hoped that tho world nas a pleasant welcome for hitu. He Is the oldest In the shell, being twenty-seven; stands 6 leet 10 Inches, and weigh* 166 pounds. John Nelson Ostrom, stroke and captain, is an old acquaintance, ami a pleasmi one at that, lie has been the counsellor oi Cornell's crew* for three years past, sitting bow last summer, and now feets as II ii? would line to oe a winner, lust to retire gracefully from the college boating business. Ostrom ia ol a sturdy organization and baa lasting, staying powers. Napoieon never chalked out any of ins great cam paigns with more precision in detail than has tills stroke oar the course to be pursued in this year's Cornell's shell. from first to ia*:, and ev?n to tho end oi the race, ho will be ihelr chief and head, and a good one ne will undouoreuly Drove. In the mind or Ostrom the rugged ileid ol Austerlitz or Hie inorny ridge of Waterloo were a* noinmg to what will be tne cold sneei of Saratoga's water tnls summer, llow he would like tne carnelian ana white to ho swan* to the breeze as the win ner!
