regatta is the grand challenge. The
course for this is one mile and 80 yards,
and has only slight bend. The Thames
here is narrow, so narrow one can throw
a stone across. This affords the most
excellent opportunities for observation.
Fully 10000 persons saw last years races.

Interest in Yale's appearance this year
has been heightened by Cornell's fail
Hre last year. The latter's eight oars
made a good showing in practice, and up
so that the real ability of the Yankee
varsity oarsmen is still practically an
unknown quantity. Yale, with the pres

the best type of western rowing power

In my judgment our delegation took
the only action possible for them to take

very mild. The seven who had their

the seven are gold men, the other thre"
being straight for silver at l6 to !. som"
of the men who voted for Hill acknoWI-
edged that it was mistake and are very
SORRY that the break was made. The
scouts and skirmshers who came in from

in the convention indicated that Bland

was expressed that BOies was the only
man who could secure enough delegates

nate.

Chicago, July The gold men are I'M
certain what course to pursue in the con-
vention. They are divided between three
courses: First, to issue a manifesto; see

this is against them the proceedings will
