Ithaca, N T., June 25-This was a jubilee day in Ithaca. The Cornell crews have gained many victories, but none so popular as today's triumphs over Yale and Harvard. When the news came that Cornell had signally defeaed both Yale and Harvard the scene in ths streets WI $ almost beyond description Students em-
 braced each other and professors forgot their dignity as they cheered and flung their hats in the air. In an incredibly short time the business houses on the principal streets of the city were decor. ated with the red and white of Cornell and as the ringing of bells spread rlre' news all. over the city private residences
 were hastily decorated with American flags and Cornell colors. The students and Ithaca citizens secured band to-

There were crowds of speetatc.s all along he line of march and repeated cheers were givsn for Cornell, the vars ty crew and Coach Courtney.
 Soon after the result of the race was known cannon began to boom in various parts of the city and the stock of cannon crackers laid in by the dealers for July 1 was practically exhausted. Every house in town was displaying the red and white, the stars and stripes, and also large placard announcing the time and distance by which Cornell won. The stu dents gave a concert tonight at which half the population was present. Every body wore ribbons, streamer or some thing to mark the victory. Tonight a large number of people went to Benwyck Beach on Caygua Lake, where the vic tory was celebrated with fireworks, brass bands and college yells. This eelebra tion, however, is regarded as a prelimi- nary outburst of what will happen when the crew returns home.
