treme warm weather had an effect upon the
attendance, but was excellent for racing,
and there were a number of spirited events
The mile novice brought out a field of
sixteen riders, the trials being run in two
heats, each one-third of mile, the final
being fun mile. The final was pretty
race. and WAS won by II. V. Smith.
The one-mile open, amateur, was per-
haps the prettiest race on the card, and
was won by W. H. Lewis of the Century
Cycle Club. There were twelve entries, and
the event was run in one heat. At the tape
the frcnt Fiaer:, were well punched, and not
a wheels length separated the first four
men
was run in two heats, four men qualifying
for the final In the first heat the scratch
men were unable to catch the lead men,
and were not placed. The final was ridden
in much faster time than any of the heats.
An exhibition quarter mile, the only pro-
fessonal event on the card, was given by
A. c. Morun. The exhibition was unpaced,
and wSs covered in 0.25 Is. Harry Park,
the trick rider, gave an exhibition of fancy
and trick riding, which was fully appre-
ciatei, concluding by riding the bicycle
over a chair.
Only two teams started in the tandem
Australiaa pursuit race, o. H and F. B.
Miller riding one machine and Howard
Rhine and c. l.. Miller the other. 1t was a
pretty even race and continued for the
longest distance of any amateur event of
the kind held in the city. The Miller BROTH
ers gained the first lap, and while they held
a slight lead clear until the last, the other
team frequently cut the distance down.
After riding five and two-thirds miles Rhine
and Miller gave up the race, and were
passed within thirty feet of the close of the
sixth mile.
Mr.. w. H Hunter was in charge of the
meet. The summary:

WAS A DECIDED SUCCESS


The tennis tournament that was held the
decided success. There We're twelve en-
tries in singles, which necessitated twelve
matches to complete the play. Some of the
players were very evenly matched and
some excellent games resulted Perhaps
the prettieSt match of the tournament was
between Craighill and Raybold, the latter
winning only after the hardest kind of a
struggle.
Craighill plays a remarkably strong
game, but lacks the head work necessary
10 win IN tournaments. A little more ex-
perience will make him an exceedingly
strong antagonist. Raybold defeated him
by the narroWest kind of a margin only
after three hard-fought sets, G-1 6-S and
Ut Ihls latter player shows great pluck
ana endurance, as his showing against Gee
ing the match off Wednesday. although he
had already played five sets. He beat Hor-
ton and Craighill, two of the strongest
piayers OF the association in the preImi-
nar1es, and was expected to put up a game
struggle in the finals. He undoubtedly will
make a strong bid for honors in the fall
tournament.
Horton is another man who is deserving
or nouce. He plays perhaps the hardest
return of any player in the association
but, like several others. lacks the eXper-
ience and endurance for bruisiRg finish.
Inc star of the tournament was Mr. Gee
he met and defeated four players with
loss of but three games in nine sets. He
does not play any particular stroke, but
can be relied upon at all times. He plays
equally well at the net and base line, and
never loses his head for a moment. Hay-
ing played in several tournaments, he has
some advantage over the other players of
the association, and he can be relied upon
to make any of the cracks work to defeat
him. Mr.. Gee was anxious to have the
finals postponed in order to give Raybold
chance to recover his strength, but as
the latter was determined to play there
was nothing left to do. 1t is hardly
thought that the result would have been
different, however, as it is believed Mr. Gee
would have won by a good margin.
The finals in the doubles were played off
Saturday afternoon, Greene and Weaver
contesting against Craighill and Gee. AL
though the former team was clearly out
classed they put up a game struggle and
the last set was only won after hard and
clean-cut volleying by the close score of
"a.

The Senator's opened up the second game
as if they intended to win right off the reel,
but q terrible slump in fielding, in the
eighth inning, allowed the Colonels to chalk
up their second victory of the day.
Phillippi began the twirling for the Louis
viiles, but after three innings work during
which time four runs had been scored, he
was recalled to the bench and a Young
player named Brashear, recently secured
from the Cedar Rapids club relieved him
and pitched phenomenal ball, but two hits
being made by the Senator's in the last six
innings. Mcfarland was on the rubber for
the Washingtons, and another defeat goes
up against his record, although he is re-
ported to have twirled a 5ood game
Everything looked lovely for the Senators
until the eighth inning was reached, and
when the Coione!s had concluded their turn
at the bat in this inning dire and dismal
defeat confronted the bows from Washing

In Former Years.

The race of 1895 was won by Columbia
who finished five lengths ahead of Cornell,
Pennsylvania having foundered just after
passing under the big bridge. The nficial
time was 20 minutes 20 seconds. Cornell
was represented In this race by her second
varsity, the first varsity being in England
at the time with Coach Courtney. There
was no freshmen race on this course in %
The following year Harvard, having
broken from Yale and made an agreement
with Cornell for two years, the Poushkeep-
sic course was the scene of a four-craw
varsity race between Cornell. Harvard Co
lnmbia and Pennsylvania, and also a fresh
men race between the same colleges. The
freshmen race was rowed June "A, and the
crews finished in the following order: Cor
nell, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Columbia; !;
the time for the two miles being 10 minutes
Is seconds.
1t was the varsity race of that year that
established the present worlds record. The
best previous time, made at New London
was 20 minutes 81 seconds, and Cornell and
Harvard both beat this record. Cornell
was first in 10 minutes 20 seconds; Harvard
second, in 10 minutes 81 seconds; Penasyl-
yania third, Columbia fourth.
The year 1897 was the banner year of
rowing on the Hudson at Poughkeapsie, as

The FOur-NiIe Course.

The Poughkeepsie varsity course of four
miles runs along the west side of the liver
in the shadow of the high bills, and begins
at point three miles above the Poush-
keepsie bridge, finishing a mile below. 1t
is as straight as tightly drawn line could
be, and the current of the river affects it
but little. if the race is not rOwed at q time
when the up-tide makes a swirl in the shall
low water. The miles are marked with big
round white disks, and the entire race is
visible from an observation train which
runs on the west side of the liver. The
w o-mile course for the four-OIrcd ard
freshmen eight is rowed from the tSo-Irile
point of the course to the finish.
The fOur-mile stretch of water which has
come to be known as the Poughkeepsie
course has been the scene of the most i'm
portant college boat races that have been
Iowed within the past four years, or since
1925, when the course was first Drought to
public notice through its selection for the
triangular race between Cornell, Columbia
and Pennsylvania Universities.
The course holds the worlds record for
four miles, it having been established by
Cornell in 1896, when the Ithacans Travelled

The Coaches.

Charles Courtney, who for years has
trained Cornell for their great series Of vic
tories, is in charge of the Cornell crew this
year. DR.. Peet, an old rowing and athletic
enthusiast, is in charge of Columbia. and
has had 10 change the mems methods so
much that he has had a very hard task.
Ellis Ward is the Pennsylvania coach He
has in the past three years brought H:s nen
up TO a wonderful standard. In Two races
in which Pennsylvania has seemed 10 have
a good chance for winning, she has swamp
ed on this course with apparent good
reason for it except SplaShing of the oars.
The coach of Wisconsin IS a mere boy,
c. c. McConville, who only a few years ago
stroked a crew which beat the Yale fresh
men. He was pupil of Andrew ODea.
The freshmen crews of Pennsylvania,
Cornell and Columbia are in good cOndi-
ton, and the two-Tnile race will be done IN
fast time. This is always an exciting race,
because its brevity gives a chance for
display of dash and squirt rowing not posi-
tle in the long four-mile race of the senior
