poughkeepsie N Y June 22.-The Wisconsin
and Georgetown crews arrived here to-day,
completing the collegiate rowing contingent
Neither college did any rowing in the afternoon,
as it was late when they arrived and the men
were tired from their journey. Both ODea and
Dempsey had hard luck stories to tell Ii 1t is
NOT too warm tomorrow ODea will send his
men out for their first work in the morning.
They will get out tomorrow afternoon in any
event Georgetown is not SO easily affected by
the warm weather O'Dea was far less hopeful
of the outcome of the race this time than last
wear He said:
."Things have broken badly for us all this
year The weather on Lake Mendoza has been
frightfully rough, and it would seem as II oio
Boreas had been lying in wait for u.s. Every
time we went out the billoWs were rolilng all
around u.s. 1t has been cold, too, that this
change in weather has affected US greatly. we
have not been able to get in a single good time
Tow, or, in fact, any kind of long row. Conse-
uuently, our men are nowhere near the polished
condition that were in at this time last year.
Added to this. our coaching launch broke down
eight days ago, and have had TO coach the men
from the float We have launch here, but
Mr.. Courtney has kindly offered us the use OF
the Cornell launch. We did not bring fresh
man crew. Two of the men broke training g
month ago, and as a matter of discipline dis
banded the eight"
Dempsey's hard luck story forthcoming
later in the day. Stewart, stroke of the George
town varsity eight, wrenched his leg in pra0-

Both men will try to row to- morrow morning.
1t may be necessary, however, to replace them
with substitutes Georgetown has only varsity
eight here, but Wisconsin has a four and an
eight.
: Hard work the programme for all the
crews tnis morning. Columbia, Cornell and
Pennsylvania had a lot of stiff work. Syracuse
had a which looked like a time trial, but
which Ten Eyck said was not. The Columbia
four had q time row in the morning going up
from the two-rnile mark to the starting line.
The freshmen had easy row in the morning
and the varsity came down to the city TO get a
picture taken. In the afternoon the freshmen
shell was towed down to the two-mile mark ana
rowed a time trial to the finish line. Two Tours

try-out the last before the race, 1t is thought.
to- morrow.
The Syracuse eight took brisk paddle this
afternoon. Ten Eyck seems to resent pltteriS
style of rowing. He says it is exactly as 1t was
last year. Both ODea and Courtney, VINO nave
seen Syracuse this season. say that 1t mas
changed. Ten Eyck says his stroke is lower
than that of Cornell or Pennsylvania, but when
the men were rowing this afternoon count
showed the stroke to be thirty-four to the min
Courtney, of Cornell, said tonight: II am
satisfied with my crews. If my men are beaten
this year by a crew which does not depend
upon it's Drawn age for victory, but upon
form and good style, as well as power. L shall
make no complaint
E. n. Packard. jr., stroke on the Syracuse
crew, was taken sick after rowing this after
noon and had to be taken to the hotel He is
suffering from malaria. He is likely to be out
of the boat for few days. The statistics Of
