ell danger has passed. The rivers In this
vicinity reported q higher stage than at
any time since 1884. The Monongahela

ghany 50 feet nine inches, bout midnight
and after remaining stationary for several
hours began to slowly recede. AT 10

posedly out of harms way were sun
merged. Works along the river were shut
down and work men forced to flee from
the rising tide.
The damage can only -he apprnximated
but 1t is not less than q million and q
half in the Monongahela valley. From
the head waters the Allegheny brought
with it destruction to valuable property.
Railroads were unable to move trains, in
some places the tracks being SO far below
the surface, that the top of gondola cars

the regatta committee of the New London
board of trade drafted letters to the Yale,
Harvard and Cornell Universities, detail
ing New London's proposition to secure
the big boat race for the Thames instead

to disclose the terms further than TO say
that New London will act most literally.
!. Prior to Walter Camps trip to Boston
where the Yale Harvard agreement was
signed, the Board of Trade had commun-
ication with Yale authorities and received
the assurance thar Yale would agree to
row at New London. Harvard was also
unoff,cisliy approached aud New London
received assurances that the crimson
would also iDterpose no objections to the
Thames course. The trip OF Z. A. Blsn-
cnard to lthica, where he interviewed
Coach Courtney and mem bers of the Cor
nell crew, resulted in the discovery that
Cornell would row at New London, sill
other things being equal. There now re-
mains one thing for the Board of Trade
to do, namely, to secure the consent of
the University of Pennsylvania aud
Columbia, with which universities Cornell
has 4 race after the Yale e-Harrsrd- Cornell
