Chicago and Cincinnati Trains.

CHICAGO. June 26.-The addition
al trains each day between Chicago
and Cincinnati, on each of three
lines controlling the business, is
considered to be the certain result
OF a plan now being put into effect
by the Monon, and the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton. The Mon
on has already partially estab-
lished it's new Cincinnati. Chicago
line. Trains are now running
over it and have been since last
Sunday from Cincinnati north,
but owing to changes in the track
age required at Rockdale no trains
are run from Chicago to the south.
Heretofore all the Cincinnati
trains of this company have
passed through Monon and thence
direct to Indianapolis where con-
nections were made with the q.
H. and d. The latter road has re-
Gently begun the operation of the
Indiana, Decatur d Western. &C.
quired by 1t by purchase during
the winter. This line runs west
OF Indianapolis, crossing the Mon.
on's main line between Chicago
and Louisville at Rockdale, 800
miles west of the Indiana capital.
Under the new plan, the @. III. & d.,
morning train for Indianapolis
out of Cincinnati is run on to Rock
dale where connections are made
with the MonOu fast mail train
from Louisville to Chicago. Ar
rangements for the other trains
are now being made. None of the
regular daily trains via the old
route will be abandoned, hence the
Monon and G. 81. & D., will have 9
train extra, daily, each way. The
mileage via the. new route is
practically the same, as also will
the running time be.

AQUATIC SPORTS.
University Races Today-OOmment on the
English Training.

PoUGHKEEPsIE n. Y, June
26.-The day for the four-cornered
varsity" race opened auspicious-
ly. There were heavy clouds
of mist, showers and generally
threatening weather conditions
early in the day, but toward noon
the prospect frightened somewhat
and the possibility OF a clear sky
by the time set for the race, $3.50
o. M, appeared much better.
The officials selected for today's
race are; Referee, George L..
River, Columbia.
1 Judges on referees boat-Colum-
bia, Guy Richards; Harvard,
George s. Mumford; Cornell, H.
Il. White; University OF Penn
sylvania, Reginald l.. Hart.
Timers-Columb ia, Walter B.
Peet; Harvard, r. G. Watson,
Cornell, F. w. Kelly; University
of Pennsy lvania, Louis G. Madeira,
Jr.
Judges at finish-Wm. B. Cur
tbs, Coium bia; E. B. Sturgis, Har-
ward; j. b. Moulton, Cornell; E.
M. Rowland, University Of Penn
sylvauia, and Joseph Head.
In the final practice this morn
ing, Harvard showed the best
form, Pennsylvania the speed, but
the water was choppy and wind
directly head on, so that the con-
ditions may count for nothing this
afternoon.
New men predominant in the
crews which are to row this after
noon for the universities of Har-
ward, Pennsylvania, Columbia and
Cornell. This is departure from
the practice in previous years
when seasoned oarsmen have been
preferred for the varsity" boat
races. Cornell showed up the
lightest crew, but the men
are in fairly good training and
sit well in their boat. They
average but 1879 pounds apiece
whitley Hsrvard's, average is 1879
pounds, Pennsylvania 1864 and
Columbia l745. II anything, the
Pennsylvania crew looks over
trained, but as whole when the
four crews line up for the final
test, they are well matched. Co
lum bias confidence is based upon
her victory OF last year. Seven OF
the eight men in that winning
boat are in again this year. There
is no question but that the New
Workers are faster than they were
last year and they have better
form.
HENLEY ON THAMES, Eng, June
26.-Dr. Mcdowell, the oarsman
from Chicago, ILL.,, who is entered
for the diamond sculls, says he
never felt better than today. He
is just beginning to get used to the
course and is working hard, al
though not trying to make fast
time. Heis quite confident of win
ming in spite OF the fact that
he has not seen Hon. Ru-
pert Guinness, the holder Of
the diamond SOULS, and has
not been able to compare his skill
with that of the crack English
scullers. English critics, however,
do not think Mcdowell has a
chance of winning. They say he
rows entirely with his legs and
arms and has very little back
swing. However, they admit he
handles his boat very well.
