crew comes of a higher social class,
but 1t must not be supposed that they
are the social equals of ariStocratic
Harvard. If Yale men are beaten, as
is very possible, they are not likely TO
take their defeat as pleasantly as
Harvard would
After the work of the oarsmen today,
representative of the Associated Press
had q long talk with the famous coach
and the men themselves. Mr.. Cook said:
The men are in superb condition They
have not been in the least affected by the
change of climate
Regarding our short, quick stroke,
which the papers criticise, you can say
it is as long as the stroke we apply in
races in America. l found it necessary to
made them pull fast. The crew do not
find the Henley course different from the
home course and it is fully as fast
CLIMATE ALL RIGHT.
George Langford, the stroke in the Yale
crew remarked: Instead of finding the
climate enervating, 1 think it is bracing.
l never felt better in my life"
Messrs. Baird and Rogers conceded.
From my seat in the boat" said Cap
tain Treadway, II can judge the pace,
and we can row as fast as over Ameri-
can courses
T. L. Clark, the coxswain, said: THE
boys are pulling wonderfully well and are
improving right along"
D. A. Wauchope. the stroke of the
Trinity hail crew, said: They are
strong crew and infinitely superior to the
Cornell men. l was member of the Trim
ity hall crew which hdped to beat Cor
nell, and / was much gratified in so do
ing, but these Yale men are so gentle
manly and are better in work and man
ner. Their stroke is handsome and even,
but ] should like to see a little more
strength put into the finish and have
them dip a little deeper
Dr. Mcdowell, the American champion
scuiler, who arrived yesterday, finds fault
with the
NARROWNESS OF THE COURSE.
He says: 81 have been used to much
wider space and feel as though I shall
run into the boats. l also feel that the
wind blowing directly across the course
proper trim; however, sportsmanlike, /
could take a defeat without regret.
Il think that the Yale stroke is too
short for this course
Mayor Simmons of Henley, claims that
the Yale men have wonderfully i'm
proved within the last two days. He
says their stroke is much longer than at
first and on that account he hopes for the
best, especially as the Americans are feel
ing well and are pleased with the eli
mate.
The Yale men have been invited to
lunch with Frank Crisp of r."

The American Congregationalist pill
grims have arrived in London in the best
OF spirits. They attended a garden party
at Chaplain park as guests of the Haley
Stewards in celebration Of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the establishment OF
DR.. Guinness Rogers church. The ladies
of the party are bitterly disappointed al
the fact that they cannot be present al
sitting OF the house of commons.
The Marquis of Salisbury's reply to the
deputation from the International arbi-
tration league is regarded as the most
encouraging utterance on the subject ever
made in England.

an arbitration treaty with the United
States he will have placed his name II
history on a pinnacle SO high that NJ
other achievement possible to his caree
and position could have ever enabled hin
to attain.
