PENNSY WON THE RACE.
Wisconsin, Cornell and Columbia Fin
fshed In the Order Name d I'm the Oars
mems Contest at Poughkeepnie.

Poughkecpsie, n. Y, June U.s.
Twenty thousand people yesterday saw
one of the most exciting four-mile boat
races ever witnessed in the history of
college rowing. Five thousand peo-
pie on the observation train yelled
themselves horse in frantic appeals to
their various college crews to do their
best, and with the other $4,000 they
saw the red and blue carried over the
line n winner by short half length
from the Wisconsins. who lost in the
last 200 yards by bad steering. Cor
nell, the victor of former years, pulled
after, four lengths in the rear, and Co
lumbia, never in the fight after the
end of the first mile, trailed in a good
three lengths from the stern of the
Cornell boat.
1t was the kind of race that makes
the blood tingle and was made so by
the crew that came over thousand
miles to meet former victors, for with
out the gallant Wisconsins in the race
it would have been doleful procession
after the second mile was entered. To
say that there was surprise on the OBJ
servation train and amid the great
crowds upon the banks when the Wis
consin shell swept over mile after mile
of the course until the last half was
reached with clear lead over all the
crews, is putting it mildly. Wien the
people on the bank, unable to place the
stranger crew, looked toward the OBJ
servation train inquiringly and were
told that it was Wisconsin, they were
almost dumb with amazement and
,yh ha
liant struggle they dropped their ap-
peals for their own crews and yelled in
friendly manner for the boys from
the west.
The alleged ragged stroke. the badly
keeled boat, the too long reach, all
were forgotten as tn ia It moving craft
kept its sharp nose to the fore and
then the people saw the leaders turn
out towards the shore ut the finish
and lose the race to the men from
Pennsylvania hy n short half length
Well did the Pennsylvanians obey the
injunction of Ellis Ward to not lose
their heads. From the first eighth
OF n mile they rowed II stern chase, at
one lime being astern of both Cornell
and Wisconsin, but their pluck and
endurance sent them over the lire first
in good time and by such a small mar
gin that the glory is grepttI
For Cornell, the winner of many bat
ties, the contest proved to he a race
only in two miles. For these first Two
miles she did gallant work. hut she
was struggling against evidently bet
ter crews, and it was only by exertions
of n phenomenal nature that she man
aged to keep the nose of the boat ahead
of Pennsylvania for brief time in the
second mile.
