ON THE HUDSON.
corren Wins the Varsity Eight and
rOur-Oared Races-Bcst Previ-
GUS Records Lowered.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 3.-The
intercollegiate boat races over the
Hudson river course were decided
Tuesday as follows: Varsity Eight:
Cornell first, time, 1883 Is; Column
bia second, time, 1858; Wisconsin
third, time, 1906 As; Georgetown
fourth, time, 1921. The best previous
record for varsity eight was 1894 3r5.
No time was taken for Syracuse and
Pennsylvania, who were many lengths
behind.
In the varsity four Cornell was
first, time, 1880 as; Pennsylvania
second, time, 11:45 rs; Columbia
third, time, 1851 3-5. The best pre-
vious record for this distance was
1881 Is.
In the freshman race Pennsylvania
was first, time, 1920 is; Cornell Sec
ond, time, 1923; Columbia third,
time, 1913 is; Syracuse fourth, time.
1914. The previous record for fresh
men eight for this distance was
9:19h.
Not only was a new record for var
sity Fights made, but it is more re-
markable that the four leading crews
in the race each broke the old record
by many seconds. The race was
rowed in water that was phenomenal
ly advantageous, and, while this may
have helped the time, still it did not
seem to assist the freshmen, who
rowed under almost the same condi-
tiOnS.

a discussion in the house of commons
relative to the continuance of the war
and the nature of the settlement, Mr..

announced that Gen. Kitchener a few
days ago granted permission % Com
mandant Gen. Botha to send a cipher
message to Mr.. Kruger, and also al

satisfy Mr.. Kruger, and that fighting
would continue until that was accom-
plished.

son, who has served five years of
a ten-year penitentiary sentence for

paroled by Gov. Shaw. Damascus"
Dawson, as he is known, claims to
have recovered the arts of making

sanity at the time of the shooting.

who retires with the strongest COM

ments. Everybody says that things
