 Wisconsin Had Chance
 eff the Wisconsin had had a sprint left after the second mile she could have won the race," Grant chattered through blue lips as he stepped from under the shower in Washington's boat house after the race. Our fellows were rowed out. We could just hold our gain and we didn't hold all of that. It was a great race to win again"
 On the sun porch of Vassar hospital, near the river bank and not far from the finish Max Lufts Washington's S regular No. 4 oar, lay on a cot watch ing the boats streak over the choppy water.

 There was no great ceremony after the race. The fainting men were doused with handfuls of water by their shipmates and revived in time to paddle back to the float. The excursion boats and yachts got into a traffic jam and fought their way into line for the drop down stream to New York, The spe- cial trains waiting on the siding load cd up and hauled away and the ferries began to float other thousands of hot, texha austed and thirsty people back to Poughkeepsie for the getaway. :.
