has been already said. the start is made from

Krum Elbow the Hudson bends running for
short distance northwestery and southeasterly.
finally turning southwark and running prac,i-
cally south down the Long Reach As the race
Is rowed just before the tide Is fully out II can
be well understood that the water running down
the river and swinging westward around Krum
Elbow is likely TO run a little swlfter on the east
ern bank than on the western, and. perhaps. at
the same time to form a slight eddy close to the
western shore about where the start Is made
This carefully tested year ago and this
year also by placing blocks Of wood at different
distances across the river and II was found thar
while the easternmost block usually game ed some
thing on the one close to the western bank I'm
the distance between Krum Elbow and Colum-
bias boathouse-thst Is. n mile and quarter be-
low-the distance was so slight that II could not
have much influence over three or four crews
which were close to the western shore and
therefore. out OF the swfter current on the east
ern side. Still. II there IL any advantage what
soever. and that is doubtful the boat furtheet
from the western shore will be likely to get It.
FACILITIES FOR THE OBSERVATION TRAIN.
Another distinctive advantage OF this particu-
lar course at Poughkcepsie and one which Will
be Of more interest perhaps. to the spectator than
TO the oarsman. Is the fact that the West Shore
road runs actually at the waters edge the en-
tire four miles with nothing Intervening between
the observation and the crews to obstruct
the view except Pennsylvania boathouse at the
two-and-a- ahalf-mile flag. II would be difficult
to construct method OF seeing a four-mile race
more perfectly than the natural situation on the
West Shore road. The train pulls out from the
start quite as near to the boats as on the New
London course. and tho nearest boat Is never
more than 100 yards during the entire race.
and. in TACT. is probably much nearer. The trains
New-York tribune., 1896-06-21

used to long distances, and to train them by
hard work. until they have become so used 10
rowing four miles that the distance on the day OF
the race cuts no figure. Such a plan is how
ever generally considered unwise. II was the
system or training In vogue a decade ago in all
the sports. but OF late years the idea has gained

RECENT DEATHS ENORMOUSLY CHARGED TO ITS
UsE-ITs CHARACTER AND EFFECTS.
Ammono a drug similar In nature to antpyr.ne
and phenacene, IL OF the preparations
which has entered the market within the last six
months, Although not generally known II has been
brought TO public attention by two newspaper
reports relating TO alleged OF death caused by
overdoses of anmonol. In fact only few days
ago In this city a woman died whose death II
alleged had been hastened by the use OF the drug.
Inquiry among druggists and chemists revealed
some Interesting facts regarding ammonol. and II
would appear from the information given out that
the preponderance Of evidence Is decidedly In favor
OF H. Druggists have said that they did not believe
death ever TO have been caused by the same ju-
d.cous use OF the drug as would characterize the
use Of other remedies of like nature. Among numer
Gus druggists OF repute there were none found who
could remember case OF death from eoods so!d out
of their store
Ammono has been on sale only few months. and
In that time purchases have been made mainly
through the medium OF prescriptions given out by
physicians. Like the majority Of the more recently
discovered ant!pyretics. ammono is product OF the
.mdo-benzine series. II differs essentially IN sew
eral particulars from the other medicinal coal tar
products, but especially In that i, contains am
acon on all the vital functions. In its medicinal

II is said that the presence Of ammonia vastly In

rive in its curative range and tends to neutraze and

be called entirely satisfactory. The COnnccticu:

collegiate races. Saratoga has had trial. the
Thames. at New London has for many years
been the scene Of the Harvard Yale races. and
the Hudson at Poughkecpse IL by no means .
new course since there have been many races
there in years gone by. The principal objection
TO the Poughkcepslc course that has any ground
10 etand on is the fact that the river IL much
ueed for commerce that II Is difilcut not only to
keep the water from being disturbed by passing
steamers during the race but almost impossible
TO find proper time OF day for practising the
crews without subjecting them to the danger Of
the three long ewells which spread out on either
side from any passing steamer or craft. II
seems however that this one disadvantage
which can on race day be overcome, Is far out
weighed by the many other advantages which
the Hudson at Poughkeepsie offers over the other
courses.
THE COURSE on THE THAMES
As Is well known. the Thames at New-London
offers a four-mile straightaway course but, aside
from the famous "ee grass difficulty the fact
that the banks OF the river are Irregular. and
that, therefore. the tide winds with the banks
back and forth across the straight four-mile
course has been well-known difficulty to cox
SWANS in keeping their boats in line with the
flags. At point above the two-mile mark
the tide swings strongly to the westward
Further below 1t swings again to the eastward,
and this requires the utmost attention on the
coxswain's part which not only takes his at.>n-
tion away from coaching his men, but Is likely
to make a great difference in the result OF the
race Furthermore 1t Is absolutely Impossible
for three boats to row abreast the four-mile
course at New-London. The great advantage
~ tbo Nau- Ion dan, 10
that there is little or no traffic up and down the
river and. while at times, there Is quite as much
along the course at Poughkeepsie, the
water is less likely to be disturbed from any
other cause than the wind.
This year as last year. the nine crews now
rowing twice a day above the bridge at Pough-
keepsie have frequently been much disturbed
by the Albany boats. and though IL may seem al
first somewhat unimportant objection still the
constant watchfuln,rs required Of the coxswain
and captain to meet the swells coming from
steamers at the proper angle Ia enough to take
their minds from the practice to say nothing
Of the fact that these swes are sure to come I'm
the midst OF Il time row. when the boat
must be stopped. the men must lie on their
oars and walt until they have ridden out
Of the rough water. On the other hand
the Hudson Is wide enough at this point
the four miles. If they saw ft to do so.
which is not possible at any other place EXCEPT
Saratoga; and. while the latter course hass<ha
advantage. II has one strong disadvantage that
oarsmen find it difficult to overcome This Is
the fact that coaching launches cannot be car
ried there from the different universities. where
they are used up TO the time Of the last few
weeks Of training.
This difficulty is at present causing consider.
