There will be greater satisfaction with the
conditions for the races this year probably
than ever before. 1t is the idea that the
varsity eight Dared race ought TO be roWed
as nearly as possible on the last Of the ebb
| tide, or at least so that the water shall not be
directly in favor or against any one crew
According to the tide tables. high tide at
PouRhkeepsie on June 20, the day set Tor
| the race, will be at 1855 A. NJ. That will make
it so that practically slack water conditions
will obtain at Q o'clock. the time set for the
| race OF the varsity Fights. The four Dared
! race comes along usually at 4 o'clock. That
will be rowed with considerable tide in favor
Of the crews. There will be q less strong tide
for the freshman race a. , o 1G Glof pe out almost,
