Saratoga Regatta--Corneu the
Winner.
SARATOGA LAKE, July 19.-After the
disappointment OF yesterday the people
were somewhat chary OF starting Tor the
lake until 8 o'clock when a dispatch from
Blankie announcing all fair for the race
brought quick loads for all the teams Of
fering, and soon the roads were thronged
with loaded teams. As the lake came in
sight, looking like mirror, smooth and
beautiful, expressions Of satisfaction were
general. The grand stand had better
crowd than yesterday and loaded barges
and steamers lay out on the lake. II was
not until about 1895 that the signal flag
announced the start and soon the flashing
Of oars were seen. The signal for mile
showed Cornell leading, Columbia second
and Union third. Cornell appeared to
be going at about SO strokes; At one
mile Columbia leads with Harvard sec
ond and Cornell third. Attwo miles Cor.
nell took the lead with a spurt,
Harvard second. As they neared
the stand the crowd Of Cornell's
and Harvard's cheered to the echo
and it was soon given out that Cornell
was first, Harvard second, Columbia
third, Union fourth, Wesleyan fifth and
Princeton last.
The following is the official time: Cor
nell l7Ol!, Harvard 17:05i, Columbia
17:lst, Union l7:274, Wesleyan 1881,

Especial to the Post.
New YORK, July 19.-The Erening
Post special from Saratoga, speaking OF
the University boat race, says all got
away on even terms, Harvard in front
quickest and for few yards led the fleet,
rowing with characteristic dash and en-
ergy. Soon Cornell assumed the lead,
rowing their peculiar chopping but lively
and effective stroke. Wesleyan started
with quick burst that put her in the
van, Columbia not far behind. At the
end OF the second mile Cornell led, closely
pressed by Columbia and Wesleyan, Har-
ward close up and Union and Princeton
in the rear. After this Columbia drew
to the front Just leading Harvard and
Cornell, the race between these three being
peculiarly close and exciting. In another
mile Cornell had taken the lead for good.
at set stroke OF about 3S to the minute
and her men rowed il out with
a will. They kept beautifully together,
as they did last year, and none Of the
crew-five strong fellows-were much
distressed. Harvard came next, rowing
with splendid pluck and dash. They
rowed neck.and.neck race with Column
bia for the second place, and won II hand
somely. Columbia made a fierce Spurt
in the last half mile, but the crew had
shot their bolt, and Harvard rowed away
from them in the last two hundred yards.
The Wesleyan and Princeton crews were
much distressed-Wesleyan all TO pieces.
SARATOGA, July 29.-fime Of the fresh
man race: Cornell, 1924; Harvard,
1881. After passing the second mile
some accident happened on the Colum-
bia boat, causing them to stop short
time.
SARATOGA, July 19.-Francis, of Cor,
nell, is n son Of the editor Of the Troy
Times, and was a warm favorite. The
result justified the confidence OF his
friends. He ledall the way from the start
10 the finish, rowing effectively, but not
prettily, and winning with ease. Dam
forth, OF the Harvard, was second, about
two lengths behind. he rowed with great
determination, but he was out paced.
He was not distressed at the end OF the
course. Parmalee, the big Princeton
man, was bad third. He seemed COM
pletely rowed out, and only just contin'
ued to beat Weeks, OF Columbia, who
stopped prematurely. II he had not
made this mistake he could have been
third. Cornellls double victory excited
wild enthusiasm among her friends.
The people returning from the lake al
ter the regatta found the hotels and stores
decked with Cornell colors. About seven
o'clock the Cornell winners were met at
the entrance Of the place by procession
OF students, some 200 In number, with n
band. They were led by The President OF
the Rowing Association. The winners in
an omnibus and wagon with boats march
ed up and down Broadway the students
following, several carrying brooms with
Cornell colors. The band at Congress
Hall and Grand Union were on the piazas
playing and crowds cheered as they pass.
ed. The regatta ball at the United States
Grand Union and Congress Hall was
largely attended. The prize flags were
presented to the victors at the Grand
Union at midnight by Wm. NJ. Evarts. :
