Speed of CorneIrs Henley Crew.

On the west side of Lake Cayuga, at
Ithaca, N. Y, course one mile and $50
yards in length, the exact distance rowed
in the Henley races. has been laid out, and
nearly every pleasant day the Cornell Uni
versity boat is sent over this course. Ham,
ilton can now give his men a stroke of
forty-siX and maintain it for a good dis
lance. The Henley eight has already rowed
over this course in six minutes fifty-one
seconds, the best time for the course at
Henley, but this can be held to indicate
little, it is probable that the Ithaca
course is faster than that on the other
side After the men get to work on the
Thames it will be possible to make more
accurate prediction as to their chances of
winning the grand chellenge cup Many of
Cornelrs enthusiastic supporters believe
that the Henley crew will be the fastest
eight ever sent out from Cornell, and that
they will not only win on the other side,
but will smash the British records.

1t was on the water, though, that the
mddies got their hardest setback. They
had confidently expected to do up the Po-
tomacs in the eight-oared race, and If there
had been any betting the result it would
have been at heavy ODDS in favor of the
cadets. The day before the race one of the
prominent members of the Potomacs told
a Star reporter that they had not the
slightest idea of winning. All they wanted
was the fun of an outing and chance to
inaugurate the boating season under such
pleasant circumstances. A number of
changes were made in the boat at the
eleventh hour, and the crew were anything
but hopeful.

The course was from the light house back
to line running out from the sea wall,
so that the spectators had splendid view
of the finish. The wall and the decks and
rigging of the old Monongahela, the Santee
and the Bancroft were black with people
ready to cheer on their favorites. 1t was
pretty race, and the time made was very
good indeed. 1t was one of the most excit-
ing races ever rowed on the Severn, and
close from start to finish. The Potomacs
crossed the line a length and half ahead
of the cadets, having gone the distance in

The winners were loudly cheered and

Missed His Mark.

There was some little excitement on the
corner of Wilkes and Pitt streets shortly
after II o'clock Saturday night, when
man named T. A. Herbert shot at Jesse
Penn. From what could be learned of the
affair, it appears that Penn had been pay
ing attention to Herbert's wife, against his
wishes, and on Saturday night Herbert saw
Penn and came to the conclusion that he
had been little too intimate with mis-
spouse, whereupon he pulled out a revolver
and fired point blank at Penn, but for
tunately his aim was not true, and the ball
missed its mark. Herbert was arrested.

There is none of the good times for

ground beneath the heavy milestone

is offered to him is abolition of the

reduction in his wages, and he is
