Cornell swept the river Indeed, the Hud-
son was never so well swept before. and If it
gets dusty before next June, why, the fault
will not be CornelPs. The Ithacans won
every solitary event of the annual regatta
| rowed at Poughkeepsie N. Y, Saturday af-
ternoon in the presence of many thousands
of spectators. Four-oared. freshman and
varsity crews were all the same to them.
Come one, come all, it made difference
to the Ithacans. and the cardinal triumphed
over all rivals and Cornell is mistress of
the Hudson.
Cornelrs victories in the four-oared and
freshman races were exceedingly easy, and
in the big event of the day, the varsity
race. she beat the best of her five rivals
with two open lengths of water to spare,
but she had to let her strength out bit to
do the trick. Wisconsin was second at the
finish of that long, heart-breaking struggle.
and Columbia was third, only half a length
behind the badgers" after making a game
and almost successful attempt to finish in
second place. Pennsylvania, Syracuse and
Georgetown were badly beaten, the Penn
sylvanians managing to creep into fourth
place two lengths and more behind Column
bia, while Syracuse beat Georgetown about
ten feet in the struggle to keep out of last
place.
Never Had to Squirt.
The time made by the winning crew was
10 :O5 3-5. as against the 1858 10 made last
year by Cornefs record-breaking crew
Courtney Is confident. and so are the men,
bers Of the crew, that the record establish
ed last June could have been broken Sat
urday had there been a crew on the river
capable of making the Ithacans do their
best. AS 1t was, Cornell never gave her
partisans any uneasiness worth mentioning
after the first half mile had been rowed.
The crew never had TO squirt and pulled
practically. the stroke from ting
to end. keeping it up to 30 to the minute,
with only one brief period, when it fell to
81. Before the race Courtney said that he
had only an average Cornell crew, but 1t
turned out to be better than that just how
much better circumstances did not permit
the spectators to find out.
Not Surprise.
The result of the big race was no sur
prise. as most good judges of rowing
prophesed that the carnation and white
would win. There was considerable specu-
iation about the freshman race, however,
and the badgers believed they had a
good chance to win. They had COM
plant to make after the race as they fin
lshed good second, as they did in the
varsity race. Columbia finished third in
each, and was disappointed about the re-
SUIT or the four-oared contest, in which it
was thought that she had a good chance
to be first. Her four performed In unex-
pectedly bad fashion. Columbia's scrub

one thing was made perfectly evident by
Inc result OF the race, and that was that
the crews engaged in the varsity struggle
We're divided into two distinct and separa tie

on ahead, and Pennsylvania Georgetown
and Syracuse dropped back by themselves.

An interesting point to Washington peo-
pie was the fact that Shepard; the stroke
of CornelPs freshmen crew, is from this
city, having graduated from the Central
High school last year. He also commanded
the prize company.
