near there was a rush by the exhibitors for the
cages containing their birds. The streets sur
rounding the Garden were Lined with express
wagons and In an incredibly short time the ex-
hibits we're placed in single cages, hurried to
the wagons and driven 10 the various railroad
depots.

COLUMBIA,S SPORTS.
DIR. Peet Describes the Stroke to BE Used
b. the Crews This Year.

The Columbia University crews have passed
through the period OF preliminary training and
are now al work on the rowing machines,
mastering the details Of the stroke to be used
this year. This IL what DR.. Walter u. Peet said
about the stroke yesterday:
The reach will be considerably longer to-
word the stern than that used last year. The
hard catch which tended to pull the boat out OF
the water will be abandoned. but the latter will
be taken firmly and the oar pulled steadily to
the end OF the stroke through q hard leg drive.
A hard shoulder lunge without too much jerk
will constitute the quick snap-up on the re-
covery, and this will he followed by a slowing
down toward the end OF the recovery to pre-
vent the shell from hanging between strokes
and losing It's impetus. The whole stroke will be
more level. that is. the angle Of the catch will
be moro decided than heretofore and the
feather will not be carried as long. The slides
will DO started quickly on the recovery aud will
DO slowed down gradually. This in general
will be our stroke for 1900"
The freshmen and the new men for the class
crews have found much diflculty In mastering
the new stroke. and DR.. Peet has divided the
candidates into squads. each OF which contains
several former varsity oarsmen to help In the
indoor practice.
Columbia will race Annapolis egain this year
and M enter a crew in the Sc or eight OF ths
Harlem Regatta IN Decoration Day. On the
same day the second crew will row Harvard
University. Pennsylvania and Cornell on
the Schuylkil River. This will he the
first Columbia crew TO row at Philadei phia.
Two hundred and twenty-five men nre now
working under Capt, Smith Of the track team.
MALCOLM Ford will take. charge OF the broad
jumpers; q. L, Powell. the Cornell crack, will
coach the high jumpers; Trainer Mack. will
handle the runners. and II II hoped that Il, q.
Clamp. the holder of the worlds record for the
pole vault. will be able to help the vaulters. Ii
IL feared that Columbia may have to withdraw
from the KnickerbOcker A. C.'s relay race as
