over the New London course has aroused
some interesting comments by Yale men
who have followed the negotiations closely
II, as stated. Cornell has decided to insist
on a three-year agreement with Yale and
Harv lrd for race at New London, it is
believed that the Ithacans will block the
EFFORTS or Yale ard of Harvard to arrange
such a race on the Thames for next June
Yale is opposed to agreements for ath-

mas peen fale's policy to plan only for i'm

nile mas made a fve-year agreement with

any agreements for a term of years. The
same held true when Yale rowed the Uni

why any concession should be made to

the severe climate they are covered almost
from birth with a magnificent growth Of
fur. Hence they are much in demand among
the northern Chinese as material for mid
winter clothing.
They constitute the only wealth of this
desolate country. In each family a certain
number of dogskins are laid aside as the
daughters marriage portion. Yet they COM
mand no very high price. eight skins being
required for a gown about two yards long.

murder a man at the next village. After
awhile he asked the conductor where we
came from. North America" answered
the other. 'Caramba," exclaimed the man.
Il must close my mouth or that Yankee

what he meant. I'VE all know senor," he

on q duck-shooting trip he had brief chat
with a Star reporter.
II am going down into South Carolina for
a week or ten days duck shooting" he told
the. reporter That's all I'm interested in
just now" and he laughed. My only hope
is we will find plenty of them" He laughed
again, and appeared as If he was greatly
tickled when ne was asked how he had left
his son.
Hes all right" Mr.. Cleveland responded
as his eyes twinkled. Il can't say who is
going down south with me. 1 can only say
1 am going myself. and l am certain of
that" He expressed thanks when the hope
was expressed that his trip would be a
successful one.
This is the first time I have been in
Washington since l left it last March," he
said and smiled again. He appeared in
excellent humor and stated. in answer to
the question, that he never felt better.
