ROWING.
FIRST VARSITY BREAKS
RECORD FOR SPEEDWAY COURSE.

Coumbia's first varsity made a phe-
nomenal performance yesterday afternoon, when
at this early stage of the rowing season it beat
the record for the mile and a half speedway
course on the Harlem River by Is So seconds
lettering the former record of I.46 made by
Columbia in its race with the Dauntless Rowing
Club last May over the same course.
The race yesterday was between the hrs''
second and third Columbia varsity crews ana
though the first varsity won, the contest was
in reality triumph for the oarsmen OF the
second crew. Through the abominable steering
Of their coxswain, the junior eight several times
narrowly escaped fouling the varsity boat. ana
in consequence lost fully three lengths, great
deal more than enough to cover the margin OF
a quarter of length by which they Won the
record breaking time yesterday was due purely
to the speed of the oarsmen. and not TO any eX-
ternal aids Of tide or wind. The tide was run
ming slow, and an adverse wind confronted the
crews on their trip down the river.
When the crews lined up at the start the hrst
varsity had r. p. Jackson. H. c. Townsend, R.
B. Bartholomew. A D. Weekes, OF last year
varsity eight. and L. IseIin and A. r. A Brad
ley. of last seasons varsity four In the second
boat all were novices except one or two men
who rowed in their class freshman crews. Inc
third boat was composed entirely Of ineXperi-
enced men.
When Edward Hanlan. the coach gave the
word TO go. the varsity started with stroke OF
IS. the second boat, through Looming poor
steering. got off half length TO the pad ana
so Lefferts set the pace at 80, a fast clip, Whlch
soon brought the second boat pTactcally even
with the senior crew. The latter eight then put
the stroke TO 80 and then 81, and the two crews
went along on comparatively even terms, rapla!y
overtaking the third varsity crew, which hao a
handicap Of twenty seconds. The junior varsity
was showing splendid form as far as rowing
qualities went, but ii failed TO get ahead repeat
edly because Of the coxswain's ineffective tao
tics. As il was. however, the two crews kept
neck and neck until the last quarter or mile,
when the two strokes hit up the pace TO 80. on
this squirt the varsity pulled a little ahead ana
crossed the line winner by a scant quarter
length. The second crew was two lengths ahead
Of the third eight
Edward Hanlan consoled the men Of the junior
crew by explaining that it was poor steering
and not poor Craftsmanship that lost the race for
them The coach was plainly delighted with
the mems work. and prophesied victories for all
of them in all their races this season. He was
especially pleased with the fast time Of I:2t -.
which he said would have been faster but for the
interference with the varsity course by the in
ferior steering of the Junior eight. Columbia's
second crew is confident. after yesterdays show
ing that II Will defeat Newly ork University 5
first boat May II in their two mile race.

TO TAKE UP MOLINEUX CASE NOW.
ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY OSBORNE
RETURNS REFRESHED BY EURO
PEAN TRIP

Refreshed by his months vacation abroad. As
sstant District Attorney Osborne returned yester-
day on the Lucania. His and haggard ap-
pearance had disa ppeared and his step was light
and spTingy. He announced his intention of TAX
ing hold Of the MolineuX az once
Yes I feel like a man." he said. My rest
abroad has worked wonders for me, and I shall
take hold of my duties with renewed vigor. While
in London I spent four days in the Old Bailey
courthouse, where I witnessed the trial of young
who charged with numbering his sweet
heart in a swamp. The prisoner was convicted on
purely crcumstantial evidence. and I want to say
that the way they have over there Of conductins
murder trials is much more expeditions than ours
The judge. too, has more leeway He gives Opin-
ions whenever he feels Ike it, which, of course,
have great weight with the jury. There is also no
appeal from a trial like that which makes the
work Of justice go much quicker.
Mr.. Osborne went from the pier direct 70 the Dis
triCt Attorneys Offce. In company with Rounds
Tyler. who met him when the steamship ar
rived When he arrived there he was confronted
by hundred letters, which had aCcumu-
lated in his absence He was told about the Blssert
decision. and his face took on worried look
When told that he mentioned in the appeal as
deemed proper he turned and began talking rapidly.
Il cannot criticse tribunal, but ! do anticipate
that the appeal now in preparation by the DISTRICT
Attorneys office viii result in the reversal OF the
Appellate Courts decision and the TeconVcuon OF
Bssert''
While in London Mr.. Osborne was guest Of
Clement Scott. the critic. and Ambassador thoate.

LUCANIA WINS OCEANRACE
THE PHILADELPHIA, WHICH SHE
BEATS, BREAKS HER WEST
WARD RECORD.

Wireless telegraphy has a new use-to start
races between ocean liners. Heretofore the
steamers plying between this and European
ports have only been able to race when they
could see each other. Wireless telegraphy
makes IL just as easy for them TO when
they a hundred miles apart it would be
If they were only a hundred yards. 1t is some
thing like this: The wireless operator on one
steamer gets message from another some
where out Of sight the deep.
Where are you att" they ask each other.
They learn that they are practically on an even
line.
IN be waiting for you on the pier at New
York" each tells the other, and when the Off
GERS of each vessel know the position Of the
other they crowd on steam. They don't race,
Of course; just try 10 get 10 port quick as
they can.
Such was the case Of the Philadelphia, Of the
American Line and the Lucania. of the Cunard
Line the former Of which came into port yes
terday morning and the latter Friday night
Despite the fact that they started practically
even on last Tuesday. the Lucania reached port
first. In order TO do il. the Lucania had to
make the best run she has made the west
ward trip from Liverpool and Glasgow in four
years. The Philadelphia made a supreme eff
fort, and though she came in behind she broke
her best previous record for the westward run
NoNN--S-%-@ASNS-A

Although no confirmation Of the race could
be obtained from the officials of either line the
passengers on the Lucania say that the steam
ships speed was notably increased from the
time when she in communication with the
Philadelphia by means Of wireless biography
On Tuesday the operator the Lucania re-
ceiVed MESA ge from the Philadelphia, from
which he learned that the TWO vessels were
nearly abreast, although about fifty miles apart
For several hours the two operators talked. each
one jokingly telling the other that he would
be on the pier to meet him when he arrived
here. The next day the Lucania made $50 miles
her best days mileage for the voyage. On
Thursday the only lacked nine miles of the
record of the day before, and the increased speed
was kept up all the way TO Nantucket
The time of the Lucania's passage from
Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook Lightship was
days, IL hours and 80 minutes Captain AleXan-
der Mckay said that only for the fog which was
encountered on the passage he would have ar
rived in time TO land his passengers on Friday
evening.
On Wednesday the Philadelphia made 501
knots. Her best previous single days run was
sos miles, November last. The Philadel
phia's best previous from Cherbourg to
Sandy Hook Lghtshp was 6 days II hours and
30 minutes. The run ending here to-day
made in days, 13 hours and minutes.
