T0DAY'S BIG RACES.
Crews at Poughkeepsie Are in
Very Pink Of Condition.

ole
Freshman Race Is Very Uncertain,
Cornell in the Lead.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 20.-The
usual hard preparation the university
crews go through previous to the boat
races, hove finished.
1t is said, tonight, on excellent au-
thority, that Cornell's Varsity crew
did the course in IS minutes and 81 sec
onds. A qualifying statement is given
in the fact that wind and tide were
strongly with them.
The final day of.practice of the crews
has brought no new information. Penn
sylvania has been on the river with
most of it's crews twice, today. In one
practice they rowed comparatively fast.
In another practice they splashed and
finished badly. Cornell has rowed well,
today, in both appearances upon the
water. Cornells crews are looked on
as the favorites. Wisconsin pulls not
so steady a boat or not so pretty a
stroke as Cornell, but both it's boats go
through the water with good speed.
On pistol starts. on first catch and on

The Varsity race is regarded by thosa
who bet as a great perpexity. Cornell!
is the favorite Some assert that Wis
consin and Cornell will fight it out for
first place. The winner of the freshman
race is very uncertain.
In the four-oared event. despite the fact
that Pennsylvania has changed her men,
she is looked upon as a probable winner
but this also will be a ''scrappy' race.
The races, it is believed, will be run
strictly on time. $50. AS and so p. NJ,
