PIECE OF BAD MANAGEMENT.
The four Dared race was not rowed at ALL to
the great disappointment of the crowds here.
This race could have been brought off right with
proper management. but in point of fact the
managers of the races are not being congratu-
lated too heartily tonight 1t may be admitted
that the river somewhat rough, and that
the varsity race must be properly postponed
until almost o'clock, but for the four Dared
race. which Of comparatively small i'm
portance so far as having perfect weather con-
ditions was concerned the water amply
smooth at o'clock. Both that and the fresh
mems struggle could have been rowed between
then and the varsity race Such arrange
ment would have given TO the crowd interest
and excitement during the three hours IN Which
II had TO occupy the soft pine boards OF the
observation cars, and would have enabled a
trial to be made Of the four Dared crews
AS II is that race was dropped out entirely,
while the freshman race which did not start
until O'Clock. practically rowed in the
dark Then there was fearful scramble Of the
spectators to get aboard their trains for out Of
town points while the clumsy ferryboats which
cross from Highland to Poughkeepsie were
loaded from the gunwales to the flagstaff and
were 50 slow that they did not begin to land
their dusty, tired and hungry passengers across
the river until o'clock. People put up good
naturedly with unavoidable annoyances, but at
great public regattas they expect the best man
agement that foresight provide.

A PRETTY PICTURE AT THE START
DETAILS OF CONTESTS.

The Cornell varsity had the course nearest

Georgetown. Wisconsin and Columbia in the
order named the last eight furthest out in the
stream, and supposedly most favorede by the
ebb tide, which was strong. The wind had
quieted down that the water was nearly
perfect
At the pistol shot the shells leaped forward
but Cornell got plainly the best of the start,
while Columbia got under way mserabIy
and by the time the eights had settled down to
a steady gait two lengths behind all the
others, including Georgetown. Wisconsin was
rowing that fast, swinging stroke that swept the
boat ahead at a rapid rate. CornelPs stroke was
below that Of either Of her chief rivals. She
swung along steadily and evenly. not splashing
a drop, and giving good exhibition of the Cor
nell stroke in its perfect form.
It early became plain that the was going
to be a hard one. a record breaker for closeness
and constant squirting At the half mile flag
Cornell led by about half a length over Wiscon-
sin, while the Quakers were third and George
town an excellent fourth. All four boats were
tapping but Columbia was a length in the rear
1t was at this point that Gardiner, Pennsyl-
vanias lively little stroke. began that series of
spurts which finally landed his boat as winner
Wisconsin met the Quaker squirt stroke for
stroke They both did some splashing but
they cut down Cornells lead perceptibly
Georgetown had now begun to weaken. while
Columbia was doing much better and no longer
dropping further behind the procession.
STRUGGLE AT THE MILE FLAG
In this order the struggling crews swept
along TO the mile flag marking the first quar-
ter Of the long stretch. Just before the flag
was breasted those long-armed long-legced
men from the West crawied up even with Cor
nell, Pennsylvania being a short quarter length
behind them both. Georgetown still clung on
tenaciously three-quarters of boat behind the
Philadelphia craft, and many were the ex-
pressons Of admiration that the Georgetown
men could stay so long IL such fast company.

Mcconnell, made a splendid fight and won
second honors This season it made an equally
close bid for first place, while the Wisconsin
freshmen won their race right at the start
If Ward and ODea are feeling pretty happy

decidedly unhappy. Cornell, always known as
a rowing college, the conquerors in former years
of Yale and Harvard. to lose three races in sue
cession to Pennsylvania! 1t is highly disturb
ing to Cornell men, Moreover. the Cornell
senior eight to-day did exactly what Courtney
said they would not do. They fell down in the
fourth mile. Said Courtney last night: Il don't
say that my boys are going to win the race, but
1 do say that they will row the fourth mile
faster than the first three" That is just what
they did not do. The pace became far too fast
for them. 1t is said that they were overtrained.
That is quite possible; at any rate, they could
not keep up with the beef in the other two
boats. Pennsylvania's eights. on the other
hand showed great stamina. Gardner, the
stroke set a heartbreaking pace, and not

SCENES BEFORE THE RACES.

The thousands Of racegoers who spent the
night at Poughkeepsie awoke this morning to a
cloudless sky. but to strong fear that the
races would have to be postponed, for in the
track Of the brief storm that swept across the
river and the city just before midnight came
strong wind from out of the West. that waxed
more powerful the morning waned. The
river churned UP into a choppy sea, the
whitecaps showed grimly here and there, and
the conditions looked anything but promising.
The foliage Of the river banks had been washed
by recent rains till 1t shone vivid green, and
the atmosphere clear this morning that
one could gaze far up the river and at the
rioIs lighthouses in sight here and there catch
glimpses Of the college oarsmen busy about their
morning tasks.
Many yachts and sailing craft crept silently up
the river in the course of the night. and this
morning were lying at anchor. stretched from
the finish line mile up the course TO the big
bridge Among the fleet were the yachts Elba,
Embie and Gretchen, the referees boat, and
many others.

bridge arranging for the signals which were to

race the status Of the If Cornell should
be in the van at the end of the first mile, two
bombs were to be exploded to let the multtudes

know how the contest was waginS. One bomb
was to indicate Columbia's leadership and other
numbers in the same way for the other crews.
As the morning wore on the streets filled rap
idly. Not only did each train and steam craft
bring its load but the farmers from all over
Dutchess County came numbering into town
with their families for the day, reckless Of the
fact that haying time is at hand. The collegi-
ans guyed the farmers, and the tillers of the
soil poked fun at the university youths all with
equal good nature.
