ATHLETICS At CORNELL.
Improved Facilities for All Kinds of
Sports at Ifhncn

ITHACA, y. Y, May 5.-Cornell has be-
gun to look forward to the enlargement
of her aquatic facilities and of her athletic
interests generally. 1t is proposed to p.o-
vide more commodious quarters for the
crew men. The present boathouse has
proved entirely inadequate for the ac-
commodation Of the oarsmeu and the row.
ing psraphernalia which necessarily must
be kept on hand. For the past several
years the freshman crew candidates have
been shut off from the advantages that
the older men enjoy. simply because there
has been lack of room. Hence it has been
that the freshman crews have not baer
able TO take baths in the crew room after
hnishlns the daily practice. Hereafter il
rs proposed TO enlarge the bathing and
dressing apartments by building an addi-
ZION much larger than the present boat
mouse and to turn over good share of the
old building to the new club that will soon
be Termed
II Is just possible that the location of
the boathouse will have to be changed

bers will be taken in in the ordez in which
they have applied.
That the university authorities are at
present more favorably disposed TO sports
than in several years past there is little
doubt. President Schurman is a frequent
spectator at the baseball games, the crew
practice, and he takes considerable pleas
ure in witnessing the contests on the
campus. With but one or two exceptions
the members of the faculty are lending
their support to the various branches a
fact which is vital element, for it adds
greatly TO the encouragement.

| Ii is probable that the public has never

there are badly and scandalously man

as well might the public sell out its New

| been full OF robbery and jobbery, with re-

| one of the New York papers points out
| there have been more bankrupt railways

manufacturing concerns.
And il is also pertinent TO point out that
while the well managed industrial com
panies are quite as safe as the railways
they offer opportunities for immense prof

Railway investments were never any more
