Colleges Celebrating.

the steps of the United States and cheered
each other alternately. The Cornell crew came
in late from the lake and have just marched
through Broadway, led by band escOrting the
victorious crews. All the colleges joined in the
procession, and the utmost good feeling pre-

NEW YORK, July 1.-The Tribune's special
| correspondent at Saratoga gives the following
account of the University races: The start
| was made at 1909. The IS oars flashed at
| once, and in all the line not boat missed its
| stroke. Harvard, according to it's old tradition,
| gained the best start. The Cornell crew, the
| men of the hour gained the next best and
| pulled away peck and neck with Harvard.
| At first the difference was scarcely perceptible,
| but soon Cornell was seeu to pass Williams on
| the extreme west of the line. and to have an
apparent lead of everything on her side of the

markable spectacle. The first division of the
hotilla included Harvard, Columbia, Cornell
and Dartmouth. Then after an interval Yale
and Wesleyan came on, almost side by side

Looking at the race from the side it had lit
tie regularity, but from the front and rear the
boats following their different lanes were seen
to be dotted regularly all across the course.
The flags were working to perfection. Few
boats had any trouble with them. Yale was
delayed little if any by her foul, and Brown
makes no complaint. though it was thought at
one time she had struck flag in passing near

such lateral distance as stretched between
them, Columbia IN the middle OF the line and
Harvard and Cornell almost at the two ex-
tremes. The difference between the three was
not over half boats length.
Dartmouth held her own and was pressing
the leaders hard, always making a fine ap

spicuously handsome crew as they sped away

The green caps distinguished them plainly
from the field if the observer failed to recog-
nize the magnificent physiques Of the men.
Dartmouth was one of the grandl surprises of
the race. Yale, alas, was soon to be the other.
There was Yale hanging upon the TANKS of
Dartmouth in perfect form with gracefully
easy stroke, each falling with absolute perfec-
ton, every detail compete-a most beautiful
sight, but how was it that Dartmouth, the un-
scientific and derided, kept that length or so
ahead? An ominous question. Still the
Yale partisans were not discouraged.
"Yale has pulled waiting race always,
they reasoned. The advantage of Cornell was
becoming somewhat alarming-fve or six
lengths at least. On they come and the
mighty form of the Gulliverian Rodger marked
their nearest competitor as Wesleyan, Brown,
Amherst, Williams, Princeton and Bowdoin
followed, Uuion and Hamilton still madly con-
testing the rear position. Between the mile
and half and two mile flags badly needed
