slower, but quickly forged to the front.
pennsylvania was between the two, and
Tapped Columbia soon fell behind. And
thus it continued to the bridge which
then gained the advantage of a length,
Harvard and Pennsy fighting for the
place. The fag-bedecked vessels below the
bridges gave out cheer after cheer the
small cannon on the yachts popped with
enthusiasm. and the damp contingent on
the observation train let out few hoarse
croaks. Down the river past the waiting
steamers the shells swept, every oarsman'
putting in his last ounce. Harvards men
answered to their strokes call, and with a
squirt closed some Of the open water be-

Advantages and Disadvantages.

1t has been claimed for the course that
the high banks on the west would shelter it
from the winds and insure still water. This
might be the case If the winds would oblig
ingly blow only from that quarter on re-
gatta days, but yesterday strong breeze
came from the southeast and had an un-
obstructed sweep over the whole course.
1t Is true that the wind generally falls
toward night, but that fact Is not peculiar
to Poughkeepsie.
AS far the crews are concerned, the
course is an excellent one. 1t is as straight
as an arrow, four miles for the Varsity
and two for the freshmen race The finish
Is one mile below the Poughkeepsie bridge.
From the frame work Of this structure
hang flags aad numbers. indicating the
lanes, from to 4. to be taken by the diff
ferent crews. There Is room on the river,
however, for a dozen.
The lane nearest the west shore is gen.
orally regarded as the best, from the pro-
lection furnished by the cliffs, but the ad-
vantage is more fancied than real. for all
the crews are stationed considerably out
in the stream. On the other hand. the
crew farthest out is given greater assist
ance by the tide, which is ON the ebb
when the races are rowed-5:30 pm. But
take it all in all 1t would be hard to find
better course. 1t is likoly to be used next
year, when the speedy University Of Wis
consin crew that recently defeated Yale's
freshmen will probably be seen there, and
Yale may be induced to meet fresh water
crews again after holding OF for twenty
years.

antly evident that they will take a lot more
beating than was at first expected. When
they row at 35 to the minute their stroke Is
fine and powerful, and as their recovery is
somewhat smarter than it was (although
there is still room for improvement in this
respect), they get a fine pace. If they can
only keep steady at this high rate of strik-
ing for long time. they will probably be
found very close. to the winners at the fin

was a hard hitter, and the punching he
gave Sharl1ey in the early rounds did no
harm. Besides. while Corbett was getting
weaker the younger man was getting
stronger, and that's the way it was. Cor
bett hasn't done much drinking, but he
has other faults, and they may have un-
dermined his constitution. It's quite a job
to knock out strong man in four rounds,
IL he keeps away. and you cannot hit like
Maher or harder. Sharkey is about 5 feet

has powerful chest, and can wrestle, and
that worried Corbett.''

THE WHIST CHAMPIONSHIP.
Struggle for HOnOrs Reaches the
Semi-Ffnal Stage.


From the New York Sun
The whist PLAYERS at Manhattan Beach
have finished their third day, and are
regretting that only two more remain.
The trial heats for the championship have
all been played. and today the four sur
vivors enter upon the semi-finals. The first
heats Of the race for the A. w. l.. trophy
also begin this afternoon, and the struggle
to reach the goal will be one Of the most
severe in the history of the leo que.
. At no previous congress have there been
so mary strong teams or such gathering
CT individually fine players. Two years ago
it was easy to name three CLUBS among
which the winners was sure to be found;
today there are at least fifteen with good
fighting chance. Several new clubs have
surprised the veterans with their strength,
and there is a marked Improvement in the
play all round. The New Jersey Athletic
Club. fo- instance, made great hsht. In
the Auxiliary Association match on Mon
day c. r. Watson and G. E. Jones made
top score and won the prize. h T. New
nan of the same club. with f. c. Herring
for a partner, got plus, which tied the
lest New England score. The same club
beat the famous Brooklyn congress four in
the first round for the Hamilton trophy.
Such a record is quite encouraging to new
clubs, and shows what whist material is
lying round in unexpected places.
Among the ladies who have taken part
1t is hard to choose. Mrs. Williams has
the best plus score SO far eight tricks.
All the teachers who played together made
plus scores, and some of them are quite in
demand as partners. Miss Allen, who is
the daughter of the famous guerrilla"
from Milwaukee. and who teaches whist
in tie west. has pulled several men
through; but then she is half a guerrilla"
herself. and has strong leaning toward
short suits.
In one respect this congress has been re-
markable, and that is in the number Of
hands in which large swings have been
made. One delegate has collected no less
than fourteen in which five tricks have been
lost or won. This is, of course largely ow-
ing to the difference in the systems of play
adopted, which always shows in the score.
For instance, when the short-suiters from
New York played the mixers from Jersey
yesterday the score was 20 to 1, which is
the record at this congress for tricks won.
