PREPARING FOR GREAT RACE.
American Oarsmen Fear the Dutch
Most.

NEW YORK. Aug. PA Paris dis
patch to the Times says:
The Vesper eight practiced as u.s.
.ual yesterday, in torrential downpour
of rain. covering the mile in SIS 2-5.
This is only a few seconds more than
their best American performance, and
the difference may be caused by the
current. There have been no trials be-
tween the various crews, but the Yes
pers have been practlclng quietly up
stream free from observation.
The course on which the races will
be rowed is on the backwater Of the
Seine in the suburb Of Asnieres. a few
miles outside of Paris. II is almost but
not quite currentless. The Vesper's
heat will be rowed at about midday
and good weather is promised so far.
The Dutch crew seems most to be
feared. but they are at disadvantage
from not having rowed together being
drawn from three universities.
Reserved seats for the race are sold
at "a, but it is possible to see the race
without payment.
