at once and seemed to be determined to
to keep it, and at the close of the fret
half mile the other crews were taking her
! water. The battle between Cornell and
Harvard was sharp and exciting. The peo-
pie who watched the race from the banks
of the lake were intensely excited. In 60
ing over the second half mile Harvard over
hauled Cornell and led her. At the end of
the second mile Cornell's men had succeed
ed in regaining the old place and led by
almost two lengths. The flags at the two

Cornells victory Is the subject of every
body's talk, and everybody is satisAed-ex-
| cept the betting men who have lost money

Cornell men had been close at work for
some weeks past. They pulled their thirty
strokes with apparent case. One pleasant
feature of the race was their excellent
steering, which was TO their advantage
rather than the halfway, hap-hazzard
style noticeable among some of their rivals
The spring and reach and swing and dash
no one should complain OF, "a they were
splendid. There may have been men with
heavier muscles of the seventy. eight con.
testants, but l doubt If there are many
who knew how to use Their strength to bet
ter advantage. The port aud larboard
strokes, Ostram and King, rowed last yeas,
have considerable experience in boating
matters, and pulled together in an intercol-
legiate contest for the third time this sum-
themselves to be possessed of the requisite
amount OF endurance, and we're as good at
the end of the last quarter rs they were at
the beginning OF the first.
