APOILO'S WELCOME
Wide Awake in the Beautiful
~: Morning World.

(Prize.) -
n HE mist hung like a great
Il cloud over the pond that
nestled in the little valley not
far from the old farmhouse
where I was staying. The birds,
twittering in the dewy leaves,
were but half awake. A robin
carolled out, but quieted down
again not sure whether it was
day or not. A frog croaked and
was answered !. by a band Of
~crickets, down in. the glen. A
faint rose color tinged the east
ern clouds, changing the gray of
the others to purple. The robin,
now more sure, warbled out his
morning song, but no other bird
followed except with excited
chirping, which sounded from
every leafy bower. The mist be-
came even more plain to the
sight and over the hill I per-
ceived the first red rays of the
sun. Faster and faster he came
until the earth fairly reveled in
his glory; and the day was upon
us. The birds needing no more
convincing herald Of the day,
sang and thrilled until the air
was full Of music. The cloud
over the pond lifted and the sun
as if just discovering the little
lake, smiled on it and it at once
seemed covered with sparkling
diamonds. The barnyard, long
since awake, lent it's boisterous
medley to the song in praise of
the day. All this, because the
sun had risen and convinced the
heavens that they should give US
poor mortals light instead of
night.

 When the orange boat pushed along side the red and white shell, the lat. ter called for 6 qTickeuing of pace and the Cornell boat quickly slipped away to the lead again. Time aftor time in brilliant bursts of speed, Syra- ouse struggled to overhaul the leaders and 1t was not until the last mile of the journey that Cornell could show clear water Then Syracuse had shot her bolt and the Pennsylvania crew. pulling with grim determination, snatched away the honor of second place by inches. The race was such hard one that several of the men In the various boats almost collapsed They were quickly revived, however, and each crew was able to row to its boat house. The summary:
