the water was too rough. To the unso-
phistIcated, the water presented a mar
velously placid surface. A little breeze,
it is true, prevailed from the east, but
ii scarcely disturbed the surface of the
lake, save at Lake Park. and in this
circumstance lies the secret of the de-
lay. Lake Park was the start, and ther e
the water was rough. 1t was reason
able to suppose. then, that the entire
course was rough, and the event was
consequently postponed.
AS the minutes drew out into hours
the crowd began to grow impatient.
Expletives Were Popular.
On all sides such expression as what
in the Dickens is the matter?" were
heard. No one really knew, and the
intervening time was spent in the most
drearisome manner conceivable.
The patrol boat went over the course
repeatedly. 1t whistled and snorted
playfully, to the discomfort and annoy
ance of the thousands that had gathered
Oh the banks of the Gem of Minnesota,
OH the craft, and who had secured every
point of vantage that was available.
But the start was finally made. 1t was
signaled by fierce shrleks by the
whistles of the patrol and also by the
referees boat. Then the other steam
craft took up the cue, and things were
merry for a time.
The Penn boys took water first, but

THE CORNELL CREW.

the sturdy Cornells were close upon.
1t was an easy start. The water was
rough, and one crew watched the other
with instructive sagacity. Side by side
they rowed for the first mile, followed
by the referees boat and seven other
craft. There was little difference, and
the Penn crew seemed to have the best
of the struggle, but at the mile the red

somewhat. Then the real fun began.
The scene was actually inspiring.
Pennsylvania was lost. The crew
representing the traditions of the
staid and sturdy William Penn lost
their heads. Then began quick and
chOppy stroke that would kill any
athlete short of a Hercules. At the
outset, to particularize, Cornell rowed
about thirty-four strokes to the minute
and Pennsylvania about SO. When the
real struggle began, something like
mile on the course, Cornell had
Quicked to So and Pennsylvania to 40.
In this circumstance is the story of the
battle. The Pennsylvania boys had
made capital of the short and chOppy
stroke of the Cornell crew, and
had boasted of its own lone
and steady sweep. The ract

New YORK, July S.-A little tornado
tis.pped over this town this evening. and

things lively. The air had been hot

COLLAPSE OF a PLATFORM.
Fifteen Racegoers Injured at
COneY Island.

New YORK, July S.-An accident oc-
Cured on the elevated railway at West
Brighton Beach, Coney island, this
afternoon, in which fifteen persons
were injured. 1t happened at 2:45
o'clock and over 500 persons were in the
station waiting for the train to carry
them to the Brighton Beach race track.
AS the two cars were pushed into the
station by the small engine all were in
great hurry to get aboard and rushed
for the rear of the cars. Suddenly there
was terrible crashing of boards, fol-
lowed by loud shrieks, and twenty FIVE
feet of the platform, where the crowd
was standing, caved in. The broken
boards only dropped eight feet, where
they were caught by the cross beams
and held. Fortunately no space was
thrown open, or the crowd would have
fallen to the railroad yard below and
been seriously injured. The injured
people suffered bruises, cuts and few
broken bones.

Cornell athletes had no earthly show.
Yet there were a goodly number of Cor

that they forced the betting to 2 TO l on

features connected with the great
boat race. The time fixed for the start

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The following
special bulletin has been issued with
reference to the recent disastr Gus tor
nado in Iowa. 1t will be noted that the
bureau claims to have foretold this
calamity tWenty-four hours in advance:
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Weather Bureau, Washington,
July Especial Bulletin: Referring
to the occurrence OF the recent lorna
does in the West, attention is called to
the fact that these destructive storms
have been unusually numerous and Sc
we're during the present season. Dur
ing February tornadOes were reported
from Mississippi and Louisiana; during
March from Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Missouri Indiana and Kentucky;
during April from OHIO, Illinois, New
York, West Virginia, Iowa, Arkansas,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,
Indiana. Michigan, Wisconsin and Ten
nessee; during May from North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, South
Tennessee and Kentucky; during June
from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Indi-
ana. Georgia and Texas, and during
July from Iowa.
1t is estimated that about no lives
have been lost, and probably 81, 1,500,00
worth of property destroyed. The most
destructive of these storms, those entail
Ing the greatest loss OF life and prop
erty, were those of March in Missis
sippi, April II and II in Missouri, April
in Missouri, June 21 in Kansas, and
that of July Ill Iowa. This last storm
exceeds all previous tOrnadoes in
that of March 27, 1850. at Louis
vile, Ky. In the greater number of
these cases the weather bureau has
given warning from II to q hours in
advance, ,and in the case Of the Iowa tor
nado messages were sent the preceding
night to every weather bureau station in
the state stating that severe local storms
were likely to occur i'll Iowa on Thurs
day, the 9th. These warnings were dis
seminated as widely as possible
throughout the state by telephone and
telegraph during the day, and people
within reach of these agencies were
cautioned to be on their guard.
Special attention has been given to
the forecasting of tornadOes this year
by the weather bureau, and with marked
success. 1t Is not to be inferred from
the foregoing statement that there is a
permanent change i'll the weather con-
ditions in the direction Of the tOrnadoes,
but this is an unusual year for their &C.
currence. as was also the year 1888. AS
matter of precautiOn and protection,
residents of the states in the upper and
central Mississippi and Missouri valleys
should provide places of safe resort,
such as portion of the cellars in their
houses, strongly protected.
