PouGHxEEPsIE, June 27.-On the pre-
tence tina they wanted to bring their
shells up to the Columbia quarters sew
eral crews were on the river to-day.
Rather than have their men dwelling too
freely on their chances In to-morrow's
regatta the coaches ordered their men
out TO paddle serenely up the river.
Pennsylvania got out this morning. The
was discovered that there would be
room for their boat in the Columbia
boathouse. Stanford and Syracuse
padded up to krum Elbow also and put
their shells on the Columbia racks. there
10 remain until the crucial test to-
morrow.
Coach Jim Rice visited Charles e.
Courtney this morning and both agreed
that the fight was between them to-
morrow. Most of the other coaches pre-
dicted that the Cornell and Columbia
crews were the ones they would have
TO watch.
Vivian Nickalls said that Columbia
had the fastest and least experienced
crew on the river. "If Its varsity can
get two lengths at the two mile mark.

John Hoyle of Cornell, the only coach
10 pick ale as the winner, said all
three races will be close from start to
finish. lie sal that the Junior varsity
race defes prediction.
For the first time since 1895 Columbia
and Cornell didn't bet their shirts on the
outcome of the big race. There was a
wholesale measure of fraternizing. but
for some reason the interesting shirt
exchange was eliminated. Visitors
swarmed the varsity quarters, but the
oarsmen were kept away from the eyes
OF the grads and students. Most OF
them were ordered to take a slow hike
over the mountains In order to keep their
intense interest down to the minimum.
The revenue cutters Mohawk and
Manhattan and their tenders arrived to-
night. Several yachts steamed In. among
them being Harold s. Vanderbilt's Va

Harry Payne Whitney's Captive.

arrived this afternoon.
Rain all afternoon pointed toward I'M
favorable weather tomorrow until to-
night. when a breeze blew up from the
west and gently chased the storm clouds
TO a place where they will be more ap-
preciated. The weather man prophesied
fair weather with variable winds.
