Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 2s.-A
steady stream Of visitors pouring into
Poughkeepsie, in anticipation Of the
intercollegiate sculls races this after.

in large part to the unexpected vic.
tory Of Syracuse last year which over.
turned the speculations Of all the ex-
perts and resulted in one Of the most
interesting races ever seen on the
| Hudson.
The regatta committee had every
thing in readiness before noon today.
Every convenience for the thousands
Of spectators had been arranged. The
West Shore observation trains were
waiting below Highland station, the
flags had been fixed on the bridge,
ferry boats were busy carrying prospec-
tive spectators from this city to the
other side Of the river, and many
yachts were getting in place about the
finish line.
The programme laid out for the day g
events is as follows;
At 3 o University four Dared
shells; distance, two miles; entries,
Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Syria.

At 3:45 'clock-Freshman eight
cared race; distance, two miles; en-
tries, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania
and Syracuse.
At o. clock University eight cared
she'll; distance, four miles; entries,
Colubia, Cornell, Georgetown, Pennsyl.
vania, Syracuse and Wisconsin.
The 'versity eight Dared race is by
long odds the most important event of
the afternoon. 1t will bring together
six crews that have been training faith
fully for the contest for months past.
All Of them are reported in the finest
fettle, thus insuring race well worth
seeing. The unexpected victory Of the
Syracuse crew last year has upset all
speculation and the betting shows a
wide divergence Of opinion regarding
the result Of the contest today. There
are many who hold that the victory Of
the Salt City eight last year was little
moro than a "huke," and that there
is little chance Of its repeating the
trick this year. Others are of the opin-
ion that Syracuse is composed Of first
class material and will give the Cornell
crew a hard tussle for the decision, |
even though it fails Of victory. With |
Syracuse out Of the calculation Cornell |
remains the decided favorite as in past |
years. Wisconsin is something Of an
unknown quantity. Columbia is hardly |
expected TO finish better than third and |
Georgetown is counted on 10 come in
about the same as in previous regattas.

vents, the six senior eights will take
