durlng the recent yellow fever scare than
in Hardin county. Guards with old time
squirrel r.fies were placed along the coun-
~ line. with instructions to shoot any
one who attempted to break through the
lines 1t is nsediess to say that no one
IN Beaumont ATTEMPTED to go through
the guards, and the crew that started out
on tne Sabine and East Texas passenger

that they would get no further than Pine
Island bayou, the county line. They FOUND
no guards to stop the progress of the

huzzahs from the crowd assembled, and
strains or martial music d-scoursed by a
brass band which was brought out IN

seen OF THE RACE

Cornell won the university eight-oared
shell race over the Hudson four-m,le
course, opposite Poughkeepsie, yesterday
afternoon.
The official time was: Cornell, 20 minutes
"a seconds; Yale, ~ minutes Al seconds,
and Harvard. q minutes fiat.
The race was the most magnificent and
heart-breaking' struggle ever fought ON
American water. but the time was mere
than a minute slower than the official rec
ord of last year, credited to Cornell, whose
figures were given at - minutes % seconds.
Yale and Harvard men were heart5roken
last night. but they made no excuses.
They feel as if they had just emerged from
a nightmare. Their ideas of rowing of
crews. of form, of strokes and coaches, and
of theories have been turned upside down
with a velocity and shattering force whose
effects have not yet been fathomed. The
Cornell eight, featherweights in COMPARE
son with the stalwart oars of Yale. with a
stroke oar who weighed only 1874 POUNDS
and in the boat looked no bigger than a
pint OF circus peanuts, pulled four miles
with wonderful ease and power, and all the
way rowed a slower stroke .han either
Yale or Harvard.
These little men from Ithaca, avers ging
only l5S pounds against the 1853 of Harvard
and the Ill Of Yale showed no signs OF
weakness after three miles of desperate
racing and finished in such lusry shape
that after trailing their oars past the finish
flag they shook hands up and down the
boat and then swung leisurely down the
river for half a mile to their float without
distress signal iE evidence
After the tremendous STRAIN of the strug-
gle the Harvard oa:smcn collapsed. and
stroke and bow fell fainting backward and
over the side of the boat. Marvin. the bow
oar, even succumbed before the finish flag
had been reached. the Yale men sat
straight and sullen, and after a couple of
minutes padded over TO the landing stake
without man showing any effects of the
four miles Of the iarccs, battling seen in
many years in university boat race
Popular opinion lad for the last few days
left Cornell out of the reckoning for vic
tory. The stunning style In which Cornell
put herself into the calculation has swept
her rivals apparently off the face of the
boating World, and the sporting prophet is
getting measured for a summer suit of
sackcloth and favors a Try shampoo of
ashes.
American Methods Win.
American methods and the American
stroke have won against English methods
and the English stroke ss taught by Lek-
mann at Harvard, and an INIT alton Of Eng
lish methods as taught py Bob Cook at
Yale. The American stroke, the stroke
rowed by Pennsylvania, Columbia, Wis
consin and other rowing colleges, held its
own. A long slide was shown to be bette:
and less exhausting than a short slide and
a great bending of the back. Mr.. Leh-
mann said the other day that barring
few individual faults Harvard was rowing
