stili and quiet under the dead weight
of moist heat when the six varsity
fours lined up.
About 10000 people sat on the
banks on the high hills and railway
entertainments and sweltered through
out the afternoon. The observation
trains on the west bank were crowded
TO the last inch, and crowds of persons
watched the races from the river craft
which lined the course from the rail-

representing six colleges, will fight

broken clouds.
According to the oldest experts, the
throes in Poughkeepsie this year are
the mildest that have been thrown in
the annals of college rowing. This
assertion is borne out by the gloomy
aspect Of ticket spectators and the
distress of bookmakers.
Cornell Big Favorite.
ODDS offered are ; to that Cor
nell will beat Columbia. Cornell also
il backed against the field at even
money, but not the field against Cor
nell at the same odds. None cares
to back the field against Cornell

these two.
The regatta committee, to protect
the public from inconvenience and de-

quarters all along the river front was
eliminated.
