PouGHKEEPsIE. June 25.-The intercollegiate
boat races on the Hudson River course will
begin tomorrow afternoon with the four
Dared race between Cornell and University OF
Pennsylvania at 4 o'clock. and the freshman
| eight -oared race between Cornell, Old Penn
and Columbia Mt 8 o'clock. Both contests will
be for two miles. The crews will probably be
sent OF later than the hour mentioned to get
| the full strength Of the ebb tide II has been
decided to row all the races over the west
shore or Inside course, Notwithstanding the
unanimous protest Of tho coachers that Il IL
| unfair and gives to the outside crew all adj
| vantage The markers on the bridge for the
guidance Of the four coxswains were put into
| position to-day.
When the Cornell freshmen start in the race
tomorrow there will rest carefully slowed away

| Long n bunch OF four eaved clovers. faded and
| shrivelled. but believed to possess talismanic
| properties. They we're gathered last year Mt
| Saratoga In the dark Of the moon on the trail
! OF black cat, which was stalking q hump
| backed rabbit In graveyard and were carried
| In the victorious freshman shell OF that year.
| Tho freshman who picked the clover leaves
and placed them In the boat and subsequently
helped to land the prov Of the red and white
| shell ahead at the finish limo turned them over
, this afternoon with all due solemnity to Boat
man Hoyle. with instructions to have them
placed In the freshman shell tomorrow.
| At the quarters OF the Ithaca men to-day
| there was rally OF graduates and undergrad
yates to look the ground over and get line on
| the situation. Very little was done except In
the way OF discussing past contests and future
| prospects, The only crews seen on the water
| were the Wisconsin varsity eight and the
Cornell freshmen. It Ia a rare thing for Cor
nell eight to engage In Sunday practice. but
Courtney explained that 1t was necessary on
| account OF the damaged condition OF the fresh
man paper shell. which was put out OF commits
| sion the other day by the tug Hart at the same
| time the varsity cedar boat was 30 badly
strained. The freshmen lay of the two-milc
point when the Hart passed. and instead OF
| waiting until the swes subsidized started to
row too soon. The damage to the boat was
| not fully realized at the time. It is ruined for
| racing purposes.
| Courtney has decided TO let the youngsters
| row their race in the varsity boat. and to find
out what changes in the rigging were required
| sent them out twice to-day. He moved the
loot braces in the on cedar boat up several
| down to the starting point OF the course with
