CoLLKeE CREWS AT WORK.

I The Cornen ana PhiIadelphia Lads make Pretty Race on she SchuYl- XIII.
 PmLABELPHIA, July 3.-The trial heats for the cup and Peoples regatta, which forms an important part of the programme for grand celebration of the Fourth, were rowed today over the national course from
 Falls Bridge to Rock Landing on the Schuyl-
 kill river. The course was one and half
 miles straight-away and the weather and
 water were everything that could be- wished.
 The various participants were in splendid
 form. With the exception of the second
 heat of the four-oared shell race and the sec-
 ond heat of the four gig race none of the
 races were exciting. In the four-oared shell
 the Cornell crew and the college crew of
 Philadelphia had close pull for over mile,
 but the Cornells by spurt beat the college
 men by about three lengths. The Cornells
 were at disadvantage at the start by reason
 of one of their men dipping his seat, but
 they soon got under way and before the flag Tas Ta1s reaSnea t they were s1ghsly in the lead;
 club struggled hard for first place, leaving
 the New York Athletic club in the rear. After passing the half mile Cornell had 6 sure thing of it, al- though the college club were rowing well.
 At the finish Cornell was three lengths ahead of the college club with the New
 York Athletics far in the rear. The second heat of the four-oared gig race was exciting all the way through. A good start was made and all kept well in line until the half mile post. Then the Columbia Athletic club of Washington pulled away and remained slight ly ahead until the finish leaving the Pennsy1- vania Boat club and the Trenton's of New York to Gght for second. The latter strug- g1ed hard and made it dead heat, Colum- bias time being 9:06 and the second time 10:06. In the first heat of the junior singles Carlin of the Institute club of Newark caught the swell of 8 passing steamer and was thrown from his boat before he had rowed half dozen strokes. Upon his protest he was allowed to row in the second heat, but was distanced. Following is summary of the events, the first and second in each to participate in the final races to morrow:
