 NO RACE WITH WISCONSIN,
 reply has been received by the Yale navy management from the University of Wisconsin regarding the proposed boat race, stating that their financial l situation pl evented their coming east. The Wisconsin management says that 1t found itself unable to raise the amount of money necessary for the ex- penses of trip and has asked the Yale management to cooperate with it. l Manager Wheelwright has sent back a reply stating that it was impossible for Yale to comply with the request.
 It is now highly improbable that a race will be rowed with Wisconsin this spring.
 TO HAVE LEAGUE UMPIRES.

He will appoint theni from the league staff and their identity will be unknown till they come on the field QUARTERS AT POUGHKEEPSIE
 SECURED.
 Although no formal declaration to the effect has yet been made, it is practic- ally assured that the Poughkeepse course will be finally decided upon for the quadrangular race. All the crews have now selected quarters there except Columbia and yesterday the Columbia crew took formal action towards secur- ing the quarters at Poughkeepsie in- spected Wednesday by Justus A. B. Cowles, the coach, and MT. Pierrepont, stroke, by communicating with the owners of the Gill property asking for terms. If the Gill or Buckingham prop critics can be secured the crew will doubtless begin training at Poughkeep- sic early in June. The property desired is in what is known as the West Park region opposite Hyde Park. and is sit- uated on the east side of the river about two and half miles from the Harvard men.
