gray to match his hair and eyes) and he would

IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Poughkeepsie. n. ", June 11-Al the crews
gathered here on the Hudson for the intercol-
legiate regatta on June % were hard at work
to-day. morning and afternoon. The conditions
were favorable for training, the men welcoming
the warm weather
The Columbia crews went down over the
course from a point half mile above Krum
Elbow to the bridge this morning. When the
men got back Rice had some things to thas
were not complimentary. Ryan went out in the
second varsity as stroke. Starbuck was in the
varsity eight in Ryan's place at No. +. The
crew was boated as follows: snevilly. bow; ].

In the afternoon the Columbia crews, like the
others worked down the river. close TO the west
shore. The men seemed to be suffering from
the customary Monday slump. Stafford Mclean.
at No. in the Columbia four. is at present
suffering from sore hand The four was made
up of Norris bow; Gillies. =; Mclean s. Mitchell
stroke. John J. F. Mucahy. of the Atalanta
Boat Club, of New York, was visitor to the
ColumL.a boathouse to-day.
The Navy Oarsmen gave an exhibition similar
to their four-rnile Saturday this morn

bridge they still pulled high stroke, which was

In the afternoon Coach Courtney made fur
ther change, sending Newman from bow in the
varsity to No. 8. and putting Bromley at bow.
The Comedians worked down the river along
the west shore in easy stretches.
The Pennsylvania crews had a time row this
morning The varsity crews form was ragged
especially in the last mile. The men tired toward
the finish.
The Wisconsin crews had hard row over the
course this morning which their coach said was
not a time trial In the afternoon they went
along the west shore for a short distance and
then came back racing from the finish line UP to
the boathouse
The Syracuse varsity crew. which is growing
stronger IN public favor sent over the
course this morning at racing speed. The boat
ran we'll between strokes. In the afternoon the
Syracuse were off down the river with
the rest.
Georgetown worked hard both morning and
evening. Coach Russell is still bothered by the
fact that side OF his boat is stronger than
the other. and the boat does not run evenly for
that reason.
