 PoUGHKEEPsIE. N. Y, June 27.-- Cornell oarsmen made clean sweep in the intercollegiate regatta. Victort- ous in the four oar and freshmen events, the Ithacans added the last leaf to their wreath by winning the big varsity race, the most highly prized victory in the annual intercollegiate regatta. Cornell beat Georgetown by eight full lengths. Wisconsin finished third, half length behind George. town. Pennsylvania was fourth, Syra- cuse fifth and Columbia last The varsity race was Cornelps from the start Columbia made a fine spurt at the pistol shot, but was plainly put ting too much into the start to last the four miles. Cornell made the first mile in Am. 34s. and had clear water be- tween her stern and Columbia before the first half was passed. Alta mile Cornell led by three good lengths, row. ing thirty one strokes to the minute.
 The race was in three divisions alto- gether, one for second and third places, at first between Georgetown, Wiscon- sin and Columbia, while Pennsylvania and Syracuse fought gamely in the rear. Just above the bridge, however, the rear eights had crowded up on Go lnmbia, and as they passed under the bridge Syracuse had Tapped her, just below bringing her bow even with that of the Columbia eight, which, played out by her early spurt, was falling to the rear. Cornell's stroke never went above thirty and probably did not ex- ceed twenty nine to the minute.
 The pretty feature of the race was the plucky work of Syracuse, which, seemingly hopelessly at the rear at the vals, passed Columbia and pushed nose to nose with Pennsylvania and worried Wisconsin for third place.
 At the finish Cornell was rowing cas- fly at twenty-eight strokes ten lengths ahead, Georgetown second, Wisconsin third, Pennsylvania fourth, Syracuse 1 fifth and Columbia, her crew played out, at the tail of the procession. It seemed almost a dead heat between Pennsylvania and Syracuse. Time Cornell, Ism. 57s.; George town, 19m. 27s,; Wisconsin, l9m. 29 2-5s.
 The four cared race, in which four l colleges had crews, proved hard fight between Cornell and Pennsylvania for 1 first place, Cornell finally winning by half a4length, with Pennsylvania sec ond, Wisconsin third and Columbia l fourth,
 Pennsylvania caught the water first I in the four cared race and at the 100 1 yard mark had opened up a lead of a boat length. Cornell was second and l gaining on Pennsylvania, while the sturdy oarsmen from Wisconsin, pull l ing a strong stroke, were third.
 Columbia was behind Wisconsin. l As the four crews approached the one mile mark all were holding their course in good shape, although 1t had become apparent that the contest for first posi- l ton was between Cornell and Wiscon- sin Columbia was then dropping be- hind and Cornell forging steadily to the front, Wisconsin being a safe third.
 Columbia soon began to fall back, and Pennsylvania and Cornell gained a lead of about a length over Wisconsin.
 At the one mile point Pennsylvania had bare lead, with Cornell pushing her hard and Wisconsin third by a half length.
 As the crews neared the one and a half mile station Pennsylvania and 1 Cornell engaged in fierce struggle for 1 first place. Columbia was then bad
 fourth.
 1 Cornell soon afterward gained a slight lead, winning by only half a length, Pennsylvania finishing four lengths ahead of Wisconsin, while Go
 lumbia brought up the rear. Time l Cornell, 10m. 84s.; Pennsylvania, 10m. S5 4-5s.; Wisconsin, 10m. 55 S-5s. After having won the four pared
 event Cornell's colors again flashed in l front in the freshman race, and new
 record for the course was established Cornell caught the water first and led 1 Columbia by half length, with Penn l sylvania third. Nearing the half mile l mark Syracuse and Wisconsin were drawing close together and were on even terms with Cornell.
 1 At the mile Cornell was in the lead l by an eighth of length and remained in front from that time. Columbia and l Pennsylvania began to lose ground fast at this stage and the race was plainly
 between the other three. When anoth-
 CT half mile had been covered Cornell l had increased her lead slightly and Syracuse was pulling away from Wis
 consin.
 Columbia was a bad fourth. with I Pennsylvania half a length behind. I Syracuse spurted and made a desper- 1 ate effort to overtake Cornell. but ap- 4 preaching the finish Cornell held her
 lead, leaving Syracuse and Wisconsin I to fight it out for second place. I Time Cornell, first, 9m 1Ss.; Syr-
 acuse, second. am~, 22 1-5s.; Wisconsin, l third, 9m. 32s,
