CORNELLS FEELING TOWARD YALE.

TALK OF A BIG REGATTA ON THE HUDSON OR
SENDING A CREW TO HENLEY.
Ithaca. N Y, Dec ls-Snce the meeting OF the
college crew captains In Albany. relative to the
proposed race OF Cornell Yale and Harvard next
spring. the sentiment at Cornell seems to be taking
a decided change The feeling. which was strongly
in favor OF a race between Cornell and Yale. has
been considerably dampened by the prolonged de-
lay OF negotiations.
The hve-year stipulation which Cornell Is said to
have imposed upon the representatives Of the Blue
apparently Is not receiving serious consideration
at the hands OF the Yale men, Many believe that
In case Yale and Harvard will not agree to future
recognition of Cornell the Athletic Council will

4 SNIP FOR THE KLONDIKE.
TO LOWER THE BRITISH FLAG AND RAISE THE
AMERICAN

Captain James McCald!n yesterday entertained
"A small party OF friends at dinner In the cabin Of
the steamer Earnwen which he is repairing mt the
drydock I'm Elizabcthport. The object wax TO eS-
hbit the ship. which IL an interesting one FOR
several reasons. In the first place her position In
the Elizabethport drydock illustrates disadvan-
tagc which some ship-Owners suffer through the
fact OF the control Of all the drydocks of New
York and Brooklyn. large enough for such ship
as this by a trust. For small vessels plenty Of
docks are available but for those of large ton
mage there are no drydocks In New-York or Brook
Ign except those OF the trust and their prices are
said 10 be much higher than many ship-owners are
willing to pay. unless their business arrangements
demand that the work be done In this port. For
this reason the repairing OF the Earnwcll would
have fallen to some firm entirely outside OF New
York and would have been donc at Newport News
hut for the chance which enabled the McCaldin
brothers to get the use OF the dock at Elizabeth
port.
But the ship Is interesting In other ways. She
wrecked several months ago. She was dragged
off the rocks where she lay and was towed TO
Newport News. with her bottom good deal dam
aged. and there she was bought by "A San Fran
cisco firm and sent North for repairs. The repairs
include no less than the putting In Of an entirely
new bottom. When she is again In good order she
will cease to be a British ship she has been
hitherto. and will be admitted to American regis
ter. This Is permissible for an old ship when 1t
can be shown that threc-fourths OF her value IL
represented by the cost OF repairs that have been
made in an American port.
As soon as she has her flag flying she will take
a cargo around Cape Horn 10 San Francisco. and
will then begin TO carry passengers to Alaska. II
Is believed that the rush for the Klondike Will be
so great as soon as spring approaches that n good
steamer can make enormous earnings In the pas
senger trade The whole available space OF the
ship will be fitted for steerage passengers but II
is limited that 1t will be filled with hold hunters at
prices which not regarded as steerage rates on
