Cornell boat was swamped, after the race
by the swells from the steamboats, an(
was fairly broken in two. The Pennsyl
vanians' shell suffered little
There seemed much less betting befor,
the crowd moved across to the west shore
than on Friday. The odds showed some
change. The Cornell men instead of Civ
ing four and five to one against Columbia
offered two to one, which was eagerly &C
copied
Columbia men snapped up everything
offering. The members of the crew staked
fully $4,000 at average odds of two to one
Cornell was a seven to five favoritc ovel
the field, today. On Columbia against
Pennsylvania, the betting was even.
Scarcely any bets between Cornell and
Pennsylvania were recorded.
About p. NJ it began to rain, driving
the stakeboats to the shore. At O'Clock,
the three crews were ready to start. The
conditions for the race were perfect, but
the stakeboats were not in position.
While they were being rowed from the
shore, 1t began to rain and fresh south
net rnnun T1,r, L.,
few minutes grew quite chOppy.
The two stakeboats were soon into posi-
ton. The middle stakeboat from which
the Columbia crew was to start could not
be brought to anchor. After some addi-
tional delay the referee got the boats In
line and started them without stakeboats
1t was 6.34 when the starters pistol
sounded and the three crews, catching the
water practically Mt the same instant, got
away together, making a pretty start.
Columbia was in the middle, Cornell on
the east. Pennsylvania on the west.
The Pennsylvania pulled with more
vim than either Cornell or Columbia, and
SGT the pace for the first quarter mile.
They forged ahead Ii couple of feet in the
first half dozen strokes, and Columbia and
Cornell were rowing even.
Cornell was pulling A strokes, but
Columbia with long, easy swing, kept
her place with 36 strokes. Pennsylvania
rowed from SO to 80 strokes at the start
Columbia pulled the cleanest stroke OF
the three screws, Pennsylvania the most
uneven.
Up TO the two-lnile point. the race was
AS pretty as a college crew over rowed.
The magnificent form of the Columbias,
and the almost equally good form of the
Comedians, with the logged tenacity OF
the Quakers, made the contest long to be
remembered
1t was 7.15 % when the Columbus
crossed the line Both the Columbia and
Cornell crews were fresh and strong at
the finish.

The Irish supporters of the ministry are
keenly disappointed at the abandonment
of power by the ministers The ministry
was reduced and destroyed by band OF

make these concessions. Negotiations are
in progress which, 1t Is believed, will tend
to agreement on the part of the Liberals.
