 at Poughkeepsie.
CORNELL WON FOUR OARS WITH EASE
In the Eight Dared Race, Four Miles, the Great Event of the Meeting, Syracuse Won-CorneII Second,
 Pennsylvania Third.

POUGHKEEPSIE,N N. Y, June 29.- The perennial Cornell spell is broken, and the comparatively small number of Syracuse men in town are in a state of hilarious delight, in which surprise at their own achievement is quite as active factor as the delight, for in two out of the three races on the Poughkeepsie course, the only races in which she was entered, the crews of Syracuse university won victory from the sons of Cornell in fashion which will return all hands here another year seeking further honors.
 Tn the four mile eight oar varsity race and in the freshman two mile eight oar race the Syracuse oarsmen won by handsome margins, coming out of obscurity in the minds of the boat ing sharps so marked that the friends of Syracuse could not find takers for bets at to 12. Cornell won the four oar varsity race with ease.
 Syracuse, but a few hours ago the .despised infant of the intercollegiate rowing world, is the giant of the Hud- son, around whose knees cluster the dwarfed brawn and science of the great universities of Cornell, Pennsyl- vania, Wisconsin, Columbia and their lesser companion, Georgetown.
 Sixteen pupils of James A. Ten Eyck in a few short but stirring minutes of trial at the sweeps struck such blow to American rowing prestige and tra- ditions as has no precedent in the his- ,.4 y,, +Io Inf% tof It was struck suddenly and with such skill and precision that the gray haired veteran and the youngest oarsman are alike stunned.
 Cornell, her nearest competitor in both events and for years peerless on the Hudson, finished second beaten off, all her confidence flown to the four winds and all her boasted strength and skill as tale that is told. Charles Courtney, so long the wizard of Ameri- can rowing, is beaten and bitterly disappointed man.
 Wisconsin, which was thought to threaten all competitors in the four oar and varsity races, was never factor, coming in fourth out of five in the four oar race and last in the varsity.
 Columbia, the "dark horse," whose mysterious doings upstream have led to good deal of solicitude on the part of all of her competitors, did well in the four cared race, ill which she came in second though she made but fee ble showing in the others coming in last in the freshman race and fourth in the varsity.
 No records were broken. Indeed the time was slower than for three years in two of the races and more than a minute and a half slower than last year in the varsity race. What might have been done in the varsity race had Cornell pushed Syracuse may be in ferred from the statement of the Syra- cuse cockswain, in which he is quoted as saying that his men were prepared for surprise from Cornell in the last part of the race and were ready for it with reserve power to hit up their speed materially, but they were not pressed in any part of the race.
 The results of the races were as fol- lows:
 Varsity four cared race, two miles, won by Cornell Time, 10 minutes B 3-5 seconds; Columbia. il minutes 12 1-5 seconds; Pennsylvania, Il min utes 10 3-5 seconds; Wisconsin, Il min utes IS 2-5 seconds; Georgetown, il minutes 34 2-5 seconds.
