Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 2I.-A drench-
ing rain and nasty gray sky without a
single rifle in it to justify the hope of
clearing greeted the weather sharps this
morning when they looked out to see
what the indications were for todays boat
race.
The early morning rain had a depress-

forenoon there was the smallest gathering
OF spectators ever seen in Poughkeepsic
on a similar occasion. There was little
or no wind and the course was perfectly
smooth
Mr.. Bangs and Mr.. Fortmeyer of the
amateur association expressed the belief
that If it cleared up the conditions would
be ideal for the making of fast time, and
that IN any event even il the rain con-
tinued, the races would be rowed this after
noon.
All the coaches said their men were in
good condition. The oarsmen lounged
around their lighthouses this morning or
kept well in quarters to avoid the natural

Coach Courtney Of the Cornell crew said
this morning that while he considered his
varsity crew very fit, he did not share
any outside predictions of sure victory.
He thought it was going to be very hard
fought race and would not be won untir
toward the end of the last mile.
He talked this to his men, prcfcrring
that they should go out with the feeling
that they would have to row the race for
all they were worth.
Curiously enough, although there are a
good many Columbia college people here,
there is little If any money being placed

very fast over the four mile course, but
thc general impression among the rowing
sharps is that while she will be very
formidable for three miles, she will not be
able to keep the pace to the finish
Syracuse does not seem to figure in the

nylvania, whose crews have always made
big showing and several times have been
on this course, is also getting very little
consideration among those who are pick
ing winners.
Towards 10 o'clock, while there was no
abatement of rain, there came up nasty
wind from the south. II blew straight up
the course, and even with the food tide
kicked up quite swell, portending that
when the tide ebbed, If the wind continued

such conditions that the race could not be

As the day advanced the wind increased

from the south-but the indications to-

around to the west.

Umpires were selected whose duty it
was to decide upon the comparative
absurdity of the costumes in which the
two men were to appear. On the ap-
pointed day Hodgson came before the
umpires decorated with banknotes Of

entirely covered with them. Besides
these he had a row Of five guinea
pieces down his back, netted purse Of
gold around his head and placard on
his back bearing the legend, "John

Whitehead came on the scene dressed
like woman on one side. one half Of
his face painted and silk stocking
and slipper on one foot and leg. The
other half of his face was blackened
so as to resemble negro. On the cor
responding side of his body he wore a
gaudy long tailed linen coat, his leg
on that side being incased in half a

blue braided down his back and tied
with yellow. red and orange colored

American ECONOMY.

Hapgood In Ainslee's. :" is the economy
that consists in doing things on large
scale, in producing much rather than
in saving little. The old system of
economy consists in picayune retrench-
ment. Take care Of the pennies, and

as false as it is trite. That a hundred
French families can live on what one
American family throws away is an ex-
aggeration, but were it not it would
indicate the soundness Of American
economy, not the lack of it. Whence
comes the tremendous energy of our
nation in business, in production. in
growth generally, in practical improve
ments and inventions? 1t comes from
a high standard of living. To do much
work nourishment is necessary, and
who are so well nourished as Ameri-

the people demand so many luxuries?
Where do they demand so much from

Mr.. Gladstone was a great admirer

The Word GwOebegOne."

The word ''woebegone" is an inter-
esting survival Of the far past. "Be
gone" here represents the past partici-
pie of the AngloSaxon verb "began,"
to go round about, a word which has
otherwise entirely disappeared from
our vocabulary. but which has it's anal
ogies in such verbs as "beset" and be
grid" in which the prefix "be" repre-
sents the modern proposition "by." A
woebegone countenance is thus that of
man comprised about with woe,
though perhaps it is most generally
used in a somewhat sighting manner
to imply that the appearance Of grief
is greater than the circumstances war
rant. Thus it has partially undergone
the same process of degeneration which
has made "maudlin tears" - original
tears of penitence from Mary Magda-
lene-bear a contemptuous meaning.

A Place where the Eye Rather Than

Excepting Japan, southern Italy and
the Tyrol, no country compares with
Greece in the beauty Of its landscapes.
1t is not land for luxurious people,
however. The climate is more to be
recommended than the hotels, but the
natural scenery has a variety, a rich
ness and a color that no other part OF
Europe affords. The foliage and the
flowers are abundant and beautiful
and Ia the rural districts the people
are picturesque in manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social life
have not been affected by what we call
the advances of modern civilization.
In public conveniences, however,
Greece is still far behind the times.
Athens is the only place where the ho-
tells are tolerable, and travellers who go
into the interior must take their own
provisions and bedding. Even those
who make little excursions by carriage
for single day in the neighborhood OF
Athens must carry a lunch basket, be
cause the inns are primitive and filthy
Railway facilities are limited. With
few exceptions the roads are bad,
but they are gradually improving, and
most of the centers Of great interest to
tourists may now be reached by car
rfage. Only few years ago travellers
had to go on horseback or on foot, as
they do in the Holy Land. Even now
those who visit some of the most inter.
esting places have to put up with dis.
comforts, Inconvenience and good
deal of dirt and bad smells. although
they are fully repaid.-C' :icago Record

irish Bird Beliefs.

A Dublin journal, speaking about the
beliefs about birds in Ireland, says
that the blackbird and thrush are
wandering souls" whose sins must be
expiated on earth; hence they are
forced to endure the rigors Of winter.
Rocks, jackdaws, bats, hawks and
owls are animated by lost souls. The
wagtail is called the devils bird for no
other reason, it is supposed, than that 1t
cleverly evades the missiles thrown at
it. A dead wagtail is rara avis.
The robin is called Gods bird be-
cause it plucked thorn from the cruel
crown pressed upon the head of our
Saviour and in doing so wounded its
own breast. 1t forsakes "cursed"

Sparrows, stares and plovers are on
friendly terms with the fairies. The
lark and the swallow are birds of good
omen, but the latter should not rest on
the housetop.
