the town feels that the eyes Of the world

and putting up the Trices on all the com

Every shop is eutIcirgly decorated with
the college coIors. Coluubia-s blue and

The day nneued with no Iet-up IN the

steam IN the rays Of the hot morning
sun. Up IN town, in spot somewhat
sheltered from the torTid heat. thermOn-
eters registered 81 at S o'clock this morn
ing and had climbed up to 81 one hour lat
eT- while cut on the river. beneath a sun
that turned the water into molten silver.
no one could estimate the thermal con
Gitions- No one could appreciate them
either save the thirteen crews who were
To battle for supremacy on that placid
stearning sheet of water.

this morning between GEORGETOWN and
Syracuse men. as 10 which of their col

Pennsyiraaians had more money
at hand than they could place
on their freshmen against Cor
neil money. When the Cornell
freshmen raised SO TO bet even against
the PENNSYLVANIA freshmen. there was q
small riot in the quarters of the Ouakers
so eager were the youngsters TO take the
funds. The manner in which Columbia
men who had watched their crews row
last evening snapped up bets last night
and this morning lent additional conf
