BOAT RACE SUGGESTIONS.

Plenty Of enthusiasm preceded each or the
college boat races on the Hudson, and there has
been no lack of hearty admiration to reward the
vctors: but the great majority Of spectators
did not find the University contests half so IN
teresting as they hoped and expected they would
be The strife was not close enough on either
doy 10 arouse intense excitement, and those
who lad no special preference at stake were
doubtless disappointed They wanted fun
measure of eXhilaratiOn and they did not get 1t.
TO the few, however, who were fairly compe'
font 10 estimate the merits OF rowing con-
test. the two performances OF the Cornell Chl'
versity crews were extremely interesting ana
Instructive There is no risk in saying mat
their beautiful exemplifcatiOn of the art OF
craftsmanship has modified views heretofore
stubbornly held by many persons ana that the
belief prevails to-day among men VINO nave
some claim to be called experts that Mr.. Court
ney has evolved q stroke which, at least under
the conditions existing in this country, ana Ike
" TO exist for O long time to come Is superior
70 the English stroke taught by Mr. Lehman.
That either would generally win in Foreign
country we do not believe, as we have already
said: but that Is not point with which we need
TO concern ourselves at present IL Is not true
tha. Mr.. Courtney has discovered any new prih-
chile nor indeed Is the combination or prin-
cIples in which he has instructed his pupils WIN
extraordinary skill and success strictly original.
In oll essential respects the Cook stroke OF few
voars ago and the Courtney stroke OF to-day
ore practically identical. 1t Is highly efhcient
modification OF the English model, ana utterly
unlike what was known as the American stroke
wears ago 1t Is safe to say that that fantastic
DISQUALIFICATION Of strength has been abandoned
forever by the best coaches.
TO skilled observers, therefore, the admirable
work OF the Cornell University crew was siifii-
GENTLY interesting. whatever their sympathies
may have been But that Is not all. II contains
some important suggestions as TO the future OF
intercollegiate boat-racing in this country. 1t
Is no disparagement Of Cornell oarsmen to say
that they possess some extraordinary advan-
tages. There Is q special concentration OF in
tercst ON rowing Mt Ithaca, and the crews have
excellent water 10 row on during great part
of tho college year But these are not the mos;
significant considerations. The chief advantage
Of Cornell Is in lis regular employment OF Mr..
Courtney year after year as professor OF
aouatIcs. From this uninterrupted utilization
Of his services for n single purpose 1t results
that there is a complete continuity Of discipline
and authority under an instructor OF great abil-
itv. who has n remarkable faculty for mpart-
ING knowledge Of his speciality and whose COM
mand OF the material at hand is absolute. 1t
seems 10 US altogether probable that system
so highly developed and so perfectly adapted
to Its purpose will continue TO produce. with oc-
caslonal exceptions due to accidental causes.
