Yet how was II that the DaIJ-
mouth, the unscientific and derided, Kept
that length or so ahead? An ominous
question. Yale's p2rtisans were not
discouraged. Yale has pulled q waiting
race always, they reasoned. The ad-
vantage OF Cornell was becoming alarm
ing, five or six lengths at least; but wait
till Cook lets himself out on the hall

the mighty form of Gulliveran Rodger

Wesleyan, Brown, Amherst, Williams,

ed help came to Union and Hamilton,
in the shape OF disaster to some others

Princeton kept decent position. At

At this point, however, the Bradbury

fortune, consisting in broken

vented Mr. Roper from doing much on
the finish. The Williams and Yale
caught two crabs apiece about here, and
the Wesleyan struck down flag with
out doing herself much harm. These
accidents changed the face of things at
the rear and considerably in
front. Cornell, by remark
able quick dash, made with
out any apparent extra effort, had drawn
ahead Of Harvard and Columbia so that
she had clear water and the other two
were left to struggle desperately with
one another. Wesleyan was pulling up
very fast here and Dartmouth looked as
if she could keep on at the same pace for
aweek without difficulty. Now was the
time for Cook to be heard from. Cornell
gaining more and more, and the most
effective squirt, not to be useless, must
come soon. Cook says he did call fOrit,
but it did not come. The boat moved
up a little on Dartmouth, but seemed to
drag in u discouraged way, and it was
plain before the two and half mile flag
mark was reached that the Yale was a
beaten boat. At two miles and hall
the Cornell had a lead Of several lengths,
which he'd been obtained without quick
ening their stroke, and apparently With

eighth men crossed the last half-mile
line, the usual bOarse roar greets them
from the stand and sent fame o. eX-
element into every oarsman's veins.
The Cornell put on a hard stroke, not
exactly q squirt, but which had the same
effect; Harvard, though plainly tired,
answer to the squirt, but Columbia,
throwing every pound on her gilded
oar-blades, made a superb squirt and
opened between Harvard and herself
gap which separated her by only hair
from the Cornell. Within five lengths
of the line crab was captured on the
port side OF the boat, which made her
lremble from pow TO rudder, and she
stopped almost short. The Harvard
gained good length. 1t was perilous

Princeton did not complete the race.
Tonight the streets OF Saratoga are
filed with crowds of undergraduates
and alumni OF various colleges. COlum-
bia and Harvard gathered on the steps
of the United States hotel and cheered
each other alternately. The Cornell
crew came in late from. the lake and
marched through Broadway, led by a
band and escortng the victorious crews.
All the colleges joined i'll the procession,
and the utmost good feeling prevails
between the victors and yanquished.
Yale and Harvard have buried the
hatchet and marched together. The
students are singing their college songs
in front of the hotels and cheering each
of the leading crews.
