ing. In this connection. 1t was said to- night, Yale last season began trying out course on the Tiousatonic river, near New Haven, with the idea that if 1t proved satisfactory there was e poS- ability the YaleHarvard regettas would be transferred there from New London.
 Poushkeepsle Race Years Old.
 The races at Poughkeepsie date back many years. At one time the Yale Harvard race was held there, but not simultaneously with the CorneI-Co- luLnbit Pennsylvania regetta. The argest race held, according to the rec ords, was in 1907. when seven crews finished in the following order: Cor nell, Columbia, Navy, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgetown and Syracuse.
 For several years past Pacific coast crews also have been invited to par ticipate.
 For the forthcoming regatta Leland Stanford is the only Pacific coast insti- night. The intercollegiate regetta on the Pacific coast is held at Oakland, Calif., in April and in the event of Le- land Stanford's defeat, the winner, either the University of California or Washington, will be invited to partici- pate in the eastern regetta in June.
 Triangular Races On Cayuga Lake.
 Cornell, likewise, has been holding dual and triangular races on Cayuga Lake for several years and according to Coach Courtney, has found 1t a very desirable course of from three to four miles, close to shore, which affords excellent opportunities for observation and good train service.

New York, Feb. 1.-The tntercol- yelg1ate regatta which has been held for many years on the Hudson River at Poughkeeps9e, probably will be row. cd this year oh Cayuga Lake, at ltn- aoa, N. Y.. 1t was announced here to. day after a meeting of the stewaras or the dntercolegiate Rowing Association. The tentative date fixed was June "A and 1t was proposed that the race pc over a course three and one-Quarter miles in length instead of four miles as at Poughkeepsie.
 The chief reason for the proposed change was said to be the refusal Of the New York Central Railroad com paOy to run an observation train on the west shore for the the accommo- dation of spectators either on June 30 or July 1.
 Cornell met Harvard in a two mile race on Cayusa Lake last year and the Cambridge eight was victorious. Since that time Cornell rowing enthusiasts have been urging that the chief in tercollegiate event be held at Ithaca. Some of the other colleges have not interposed serious objections because 1t was suggested that the regatta might be held at a different place an- nually instead of always over the same course.
 The suggestion that the distance covered by the oarsmen be shortened has been favored by Coach Courtney of Cornell and Coach Alice of Colun- bia- Columbia also has admitted that a change might be advisable. A race of three and a quarter miles would be in the nature of a compromise. The trainers have asserted that the oars- men would expend just as much en- ergy i'll a shorted race and that the competition would be fully as keen.
 Morton G. Bogue, chairman of the board of stewards. said that while no definite decision had been reached, it was probable the race would take place next June on Vayuga Lake.
 YaIe-Harvard Regatta.
 Incidentally, it was pointed out to- night, Juno A is the date set for the Yale-Harvard regetta at New London, Conn.
 The proposal to take the intercolle- giate race from Poughkeepsie to Ca yuga Lake, according to rowing en- thusiasts is in accordance with a gen. era1 movement under discussion for some time to remove all college regat. tas from so-cailed neutral courses and bring them nearer the home cities of at least one of the colleges participat-

This was source of disappointment to traders, some of whom had covered their short contracts yesterday, large ly III consequence of the brilliant show ing of New York Central for December and the year.
 United States Steel was another de- terring influence, that stock being un- der obvious restraint throughout the session. At it's minimum of S4 1-4 Steel showed an overnight loss of 3-4 and other industrials, especially the more active stocks in the so-called war division, were lower, by one to two points, but recovered later.

High priced specialties moved errat- ically, but mainly upwards, the su- gars, General Motors, International Nickel and Texas Company raising three to five points, with seven for Bethlehem Steel preferred at 137.
 Rails were at their best during the mid-session, when a sudden spurt in New Haven, Reading and Lehigh Val ley infused strength elsewhere. The movement was short lived, however, quotations receding rapidly on com paratively small offerings.
 General apathy prevailed during the afternoon, but in the final half hour activity on an ascending scale was re- stunned, effacing most declines and leaving a number of net gains. Total sales amounted to 565, 1000 shares, cop pers contributing about 40 per cent. of the whole.

 Drew will thereby get a long de- ferred chance to do what has never before been done in a race at the dis tance. viz, nine seconds. and judging by his running Tuesday night in the 100 at the N. Y. A. C. games 1t Is not outside the range of possibilities that he may do so.
