 Mostly Done By New York Colleges. Ry Sam B. Vance, Staff Correspon-
 dent, United Press.)
 Poughkeepsie, July 2.-The beautiful weather and an unruffled river added witness the great intercollegiate boat races this afternoon. Every train is pouring out its crowds from New York city and up the river points. The course, along which the races will be rowed, is already lined up and small craft. pleasure yachts and excursion boats are dressed in gala attire with flags flying from every conceivable point.
 Syracuse men, with pockets full of money and with plenty of confidence. arrived this morning and took a whole lot of the money that Cornell men are offering that Cornell will sweep every thing. The course of the odds ranges from 10 to and even.
 When the races started 1t was to 1 that Cornell would win the varsity eight.
 CoIumbia's packers offered 10 to 8 that their crew would beat Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in the varsity eights.
 Racing men declared that the course was ideal for the big race. The Penn sylvania crews took a paddle this morning. being the only one of the racing crews to go out on the river in their shells.
 Poughkeepsie, July 2.-If CornelPs sturdy freshmen eight can win the freshmen race in the great intercolleg- fate regatta today, it is believed the Cornell crews will sweep the river to- ell hat Cor nell the heavy favorite to win every event in the regatta today as Harvard did at New London yesterday. If they do they will repeat the performances of 1902 and 1903 when Coach Court ney's crews mad clean sweep Of every event.
 Cornell followers are forced to give odds of 2 to on the varsity eight oar crew against Syracuse, the second choice in this race. The Cornell men are vain1y offering 10 to that Cornell varsity eight defeats the whole field and some bets as high as to 1 have four pared. Many combination pools are being made on the varsity eights with Cornell invariably picked to win and Syracuse a heavy favorfte for sec ond place, Columbia and Wisconsin re- ceiving an even play for third and Pennsylvania last.
 The weather indications are fine. The alarmists who have been predict ing poor tide conditions were put to rout today by the announcement by the racing officials that the tides were all worked out in advance by the Uni- ted States Geodict officer and no diff ficulty would be encountered at 4:15. when the freshmen race is progress ing. The tide turns at 7:29 this ev ening, and the varsity race has been set for 5 o'clock, when the conditions will be ideal.
 The varsity four, including crews from all the COIlegeS eXcept WiScOn- sin which has no varsity four, win start at o'clock, over a two mile course, starting one mile above the bridge. The Freshmen eight will start over a two mile course at the same place at 3:45.
 The varsity eights which row four miles, will start at Crun Elbow, three miles above the bridge at o'clock.

 ROrty is well known in this league. having umpired last season.
