CORNELL STILL
FULL OF FAITH
Students of University Are
Sangline of Victory De-
spite Stroke of Hard Luck

POUGHKEEPSIE, y. Y, June II
Uncertainty as to the result is the feel
ing here on the eve of the contest for
the rowing supremacy between the col
lege crews of the University of Penn
sylvania. Columbia, Georgetown, Cor
nell, Wisconsin and Syracuse. Changes
in the various boats have been so fire.
quent that it has been difficult to in
telligently compare the respective var
sity crews. Coach Courtney OF Cor
nell has had the most trying expert
ence in this particular, but despite the
fact that two of his men are to row in
two races. he expresses an ever-abid-
ing faith in the hardy men he has pre-
pared for the struggle.
There is every indication of fine
weather and good water for the races
tomorrow and the coaches seem we'll
satisfied with the condition of every
man who will appear at the starting
line.
Notwithstanding the fact that two Of
Courtney's men. Captain Coffin, at No.
2 in the varsity boat, and Forbes, at
No. in the four -Oared, are out owing
to- illness, there is no lack of Cornell
money tonight to back her crews for
first place in all three events, the
freshmen. four-Oared and varsity
races.
A condition such as never before
prevailed at Poughkeepsie since college
racing began here will obtain to-mOr-
row. f. T. FOOte and George FOote,
cousins are TO row for Cornell in two
races. z. T. Foote will stroke the four
Dared crew and will take Collins place
in the varsity boat. while George
Foote, who rows No. 4 in the varsity
eight. will take Forbes place at No.
in the varsity four.
Wisconsin stands nextato Cornell IN
the betting tonight. The experts to-
night weigh Cornell and Wisconsin in
either hand. CuriOusly enough Penn
sylvania does not seem to figure much
in the calculations. but Coach Ward
expresses great confidence in his men.

QUARTERS IN THE FIELD. FENG-
WANGCHENG, SUNDAY, June 26.-A
party of eighteen correspondents and
military attaches has been conducted
on tour of the main Japanese works

great care had been taken in building
these works and the attaches remarked
that the temporary defenses had been
constructed with more pains than most
European armies would take under
similar circumstances.
At Liaoyang, where it was hitherto
thought the first meeting between the
two armies in force would occur, the
Russians have guns ip position mount
ed on the city wall and trenches on the
plain south of this city, extending over
an arc of $50 degrees. These trenches

RUSSIAN LOSS CONFIRMED.

'At dawn on Friday a reconnais-
sance of the entrance was made by the
fourth and fifth flotillas.' whose report
confirmed that of the patrol ships as
to the Russian loss"
Admiral Togo says the moonlight and
the narrow line of the enemy prevented
his fleet infiicting greater damage. The
Japanese loss was unexpectedly small
The destroyer Shirakumo was struck
in the cabin and three of her crew
were killed and three wounded. The
first-class torpedo boat Chidori was
struck in the engine-room. Torpedo
boats 64, 66 and SO were damaged. The
others engaged were uninjured. In
concluding his report Admiral Togo
says
THE effect of the attack and the
small loss must be attributed to the
illustrious virtues Of his Majesty"

School Furniture Company, 3G0 modern
theatre chairs. somewhat similar to
those used at Turner Hall They will
be movable, 40 that the floor can still
be used for dancing, but they will be
thoroughly upto-date in style. etc. In
the second place, the societies have in
mind the tearing down OF the present
stage and the building Of n modern one
in it's place. The present stage is but
poorly supplied with drop scenery, and
in case the stage il rebuilt the old seen
cry will be replaced by more convenient,

Send An Extensive Exhibit
To The Milwaukee
Convention

The North Side schools are preparing
an exhibit which is to be sent to the
Western Manual Training q Drawing
| Teachers Association at the latter
convention in Milwaukee, May "A.
The exhibit will consist Of specimens of
work done in all grades from the kind
ergarten up to the eighth. The work
considering the comparatively short
time the department has been in opera
ton is quite extensive aud comprises
wood work, paper construction, clay
modelling, sewing and weaving.
The seventh and eighth grades will
will exhibit complete garments made by
the girls and picture frames, shelves,
comb trays, etc, made by the boys.
| The smaller exhibits will be mounted
on 22x2S inch gray card board. The
work of the girls is in charge of Miss
Bailey, while that of the boys is under
the direction of Prin. Keller. The work
in drawing is being conducted by Miss

exhibit will be returned to the school
where it will be displayed during gradu-
alton week. 1t will demonstrate what
friends of the school have been long
contending-th the manual training
department is not a plaything nor an
experiment but an accomplished fact
and an actual working addition to the
school curriculum.
This department has been practically
the work of Mr. Keller the principal of
the school. 1t has now reached quite a
degree of systematism. There has not
however, as yet been a sufficient appro-
priation made for the department to
permit of the hiring of a special in
structor and the work has been CON
Quoted consequently by the regular
teachers of the school. 1t is hoped that
in another year a special manual train
ing instructor will be gotten to take
charge of the entire work.
