 Cornell the Winner.
 The colors of Cornell flashed past the winning post ahead of those of her rivals in all three of the events of the great intercollegiate regatta today. Yale's feat at New London was duplicated before crowd which blackened the banks of the Hudson for miles. Cornell's victories while decisive, were not gained without sharp struggle in each case, and in the race for Freshmen eights, the record for the course was smashed.
 Race In Three Divisions. The varsity race was cornells from the start Columbia made a fine spurt at l the pistol shot, but was plainly putting i too much into the start to last the four miles. Cornell made the first mile in ASA and had clear water between her stern and Columbia before the first half was passed. At a mile Cornell led by three good lengths. rowing easily thirty strokes to the minute.
 The race was in three divisions alto gether, one for second and third places, at first between Georgetown. Wisconsin and Columbia, while Pennsylvania and Syracuse fought gamely in the rear. Just above the bridge, however the rear eights had crowded upon Columbia, and as they passed under the bride, Syracuse had lapped her Just below, bringing her bow even with that of the Columbia eight, which played out by her early squirt, was falling to the rear Cornells stroke never went above thirty, and probably did not exceed twenty-nine to the minute.
  plucky work of Syracuse. which seem ingly hopelessly at the rear of the first half mile. crowded upon her rivals, passed Columbia and pushed nose to nose with Pennsylvania, and worried Wiscon- sin for third place.

It seemed almost dead heat between Pennsylvania and Syracuse.
