 CorneIls Greatest Triumph.
 Cornell won the greatest triumph of her history in boating. The Wisconsin boys won the second honors and they deserve great credit for their splendid fights in the Varsity and Freshman races. finish ing a strong second in both. In all three races Columbia finished third. In the four-oared race Pennsylvania was second, but in the Varsity race the Quakers fln- ished In fourth place and in the Fresh man race they were fifth.
 In none of the races were the records touched, but in sll three events the time was not far above the fastest that has been made on this course.
 Despite clouds and rain a big crowd saw the races. All thr ough the morning 1t seemed as though postponement would be necessary, but later the wind died away, the sun came out, and all three races were rowed under splendid conditions. The varsity race, which started at about 6 o'clock, was a hard struggle for all six crews for the entire four miles. For almost a mile the long graceful shells were Tapped in the strug- gle. Over the second mile Cornell began to gather her lead, but Columbia hung deadly grip, while Georgetown was al- most nose and nose with the New York CTS, with Pennsylvania and Syracuse only few feet behind In this order the boats raced up to the last half mile. where Pennsylvania spurted, and finally Syracuse jumped ahead of Georgetown only few yards from the finish.
 Widened the Gap.
 Over the last two miles of the race Cornell widened the gap between her and the Badgers little by little. but twice the boys from Wisconsin spurted and pulled the Ithicans back.
 Columbia hung to Wisconsin up to the thr ee-mile flag, and even at the begin nirg of the last half mile Wisconsin was leading the New York boat by only a length and a half. Georgetown held fourth place in the race up to the last half mile, when the Quakers pulled away. The Washington boys struggled hard, but finally dropped back to sixth and last place in the struggle. Cornell | finished three good lengths ahead of Wisconsin. A length and half separated Wisconsin and Columbia, while the Quak- CTS were nearly two lengths behind the New Workers. Syracuse was not more tl n 15 feet behind Pennsylvania and Georgetown was less than a length be- hind Syracuse. Cornell, Georgetown and Syracuse started into the race at a 34 stroke Columbia ard Pennsylvania both started at 37, while Wisconsin rowed 36 strokes to the minutes for the first quar- ter of a mile.
 At the finish Cornell was rowing 32; Wisconsin 35; Columbia 34; Pennsylvania 35; Georgetown S6; Syracuse 32.
