In GALA ATTIRE.
POUGHKEEPSIE GETTING READY
FOR THE RACE.
Coaches Give the Crew Their Final
Polishing Up.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 24-To-
morrow is the big Varsity day and the
town tonight is taking on a gala ap-
/ pearance. The crowds are beginning to
arrive. and tomorrow will see the place
crowded to overlooking. The wind was
from the west all afternoon, and the
wiseacres in weather matters predict
that it will rain either tonight or to-
morrow.
The plan now is to call the race at
$3.50 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and
have it rowed down stream over the
four mile course. If the weather is bad
or the water in poor condition the race,
, because of the change of tide. viii have
TO be rowed after 6:4o p. m. upstream,
necessitating an entire change of stake
and judges boats and the anchorage
fleet of yachts.
1t is called to mind that this is the
first time since 1875 that Yale has met
Cornell, and the first time in two years
that she has crossed blades with Har-
ward.
The Harvard freshmen and varsity
crews rowed several half-mile sDurts
and starts from pistol shot this after
noon. The varsity, rowing but 80 and
81 strokes to the minute, to the fresh
mems 81 and SO, came down against
the tide and wind in a rough cnOppy
sea at such a gain in an eighth of a
mile they passed and got a length
ahead of the freshmen. The varsity
boat, even in the rough water and sea,
the head wind, kept very even keel
and fairly glided through the water.
Coach Cook took the blue Varsity
eight tonight and gave il final polish
ing up. The rough corners on the in
dividual work of the members OF the
crew were knocked off this morning in
a painstaking half hour Of work.
Yales practice tonight was not an eX-
tended one. and after the general work
several starts were tried before the
shell was put in. The mems condition
is ALI that could be desired.
It was half past six when the water
had become smooth enough in the
neighborhood Of the Cornell boat house
for the crews to get out. Courtney sent
them on an exercise row of a mile and
a half down the river. Returning to the
boat house. the Short cake" crew gave
the varsity eight a brush but was
badly beaten.
Representatives of Yale. Harvard and
Cornell met with Referee Meii,leheim
at the Nelson house tonight To draw
positions for the race. Yale drew course
No. /. which is nearest the west bank;
Harvard No. .. and Cornell No. 3 on
the outer course. II will be seen that
by this drawing the positions of Yale
and Cornell are exactly reversed from
what they were in tt freshmen race
and the slight advantage in the way of
tide hich Yale was supposed to have
in that race now belongs TO Harvard.

GLASS FACTORIES TO CLOSE.
Midnight on Wednesday Next Agreed
Upon.

Chicago, June 24.-All the manufac-
tories of window and flint glass. to-
gether with 80 per cent of the green
glass est Adjustments, will shut down at
midnight next Wednesday and it is not
unlikely that they will remain closed
for the longest period in the history
of the industry.
The window glass blowers have
called a mass meeting to be held in
Cleveland on July 6. They will then
formulate their demand, which will be
for wage advances of not less than 10
per cent. Jobbers in this city, which
is one of the largest distributing points
for glass, say manufacturers with
whom they communicate are, to man,
determined not TO grant any large ad-
vance in wages and that the result
will be a suspension of the industry
until snow flies.
