Poughkeepsie.
POINTS ABOUT KR. YOUNG'S SCHEDULE
c. A. c. BOWERS Defeated at Bal
timore.
ALBANY WHISPERS WIN

At conference Saturday afternoon at
the Reform Club in New York the ques-
tfons in regard to this years interuniversity
boat races were finally and harmoniously
settled The idea of the quirtangular race
was abandoned, while Cornell took upon
herself the double task of rowing against
Yale and Harvard and week later against
Columbia and the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
The representatives at the conference
were Prof. B. 1. Wheeler of Cornell, Capt.
Goodrich Of the Harvard crew. Thomas
Reach Of the University of Pennsylvania
and F. 8. Bangs and Justus A. B. Cowles
of Columbia. Capt. Goodrich presented q
statement from the Harvard end of the
matter to the effect that the five-cornered
race could not be undertaken inasmuch, as
for Harvard to admit Columbia and Uni
versity of Pennsylvania would be direct
violation of her agreement with Yale. That,
or course, settled the entire question: and
the remaining business was merely in con-
nection with the choosing Of dates and
other arrangements.
Two sets of races. university and fresh
men, Kill be held at Poughkeepsie. Friday,
June 25, was selected for the university
though If the Harvard men wish it the date
may be changed to June "a. It was anyhow
very considerable concession on Har-
wards part to entertain the idea of choosing
June 2o. for 1t is class day at Cambridge.
The freshmea's race will be rowed Wednes-
day. June %.
The university race between Cornell, CO.
lumbia and the University of Pennsylvania
will be decided Friday. July 2. and the
freshmen's race Wednesday, June 30
No written agreements were made, the ar
rangements being completed in merely YER
bal form. The utmost harmony existed.
Mr.. F. S. Bangs of Columbia was chosen
chairman Of the regatta committee, and
Will proceed to take the initiatory steps to
making arrangements at an early date
The arrangements with the government as
to using the Poughkeepsie course on the
dates selected are the same as those of last
year.
In reference to the big task that Cornell
Is undertaking. Prof. Wheeler safd Yes,
1t is short time between two such long
races. but we can only try. We may be
beaten. but We shall do our best and there
are other years. Everything went off most
amicably today and the ideas finally adopt
ed seemed to suit every one
According to advices from Harvard, the
athletic committee concluded that it would
De an unWise move on their part to force
the crew into an unpopular race. The CUES,
ton whether Columbia and University of
Pennsylvania should be admitted into
quintangular race was accordingly left to
tfe crew. and 1t was virtually their decision
that Capt. Goodrich announced

To the Ex-Confederate Soldiers OF
Audrain County,

That brave and dashing soldier of
the "Lost Cause" General 10 o. Shell
by, whose brilliant career in war is as
familiar to the people of Missouri as
to you, departed this life on Saturday
last at his home, near Kansas City,
Mo. His death has survived in the
minds of thousands of our people a
vivid remembrance of the days long
ago and has saddened the hearts of
many who shared with him the dan
gers and hardships of more than a
third of a century ago.
The death of a comrade, especially
one so intimately connected with the
thrilling experiences of war as was
General Shelby, should remind us of
the debt we owe to each other in life
and the obligation we should pay to
the memory of a departed brother.
For the purpose of giving express
ion to our feelings with reference to
the life and are of General Shelby
In war and peace, each and every ex-
Confederate soldier in Audrain coun-
