Quarters on Poughkeepsie,
Occupied Since 1897, Now

the first time since 1897 Cornell
crews this year will not occupy The
Oaks at Poughkeepsie during the

here. While the Athletic Associa-
ton owns its boathouse at the re.
gatta course, living quarters for

RACING MAKING
PROGRESS IN
NEW YORK
Annual Report of Commission
Lauds Triumphs of Sinclair
Three-Year-Old.

ALBANY, March 14.-The name
of Harry F. Sinclair, the man at
the bottom of the national oil
scandal, echoed through legislative
halls, when the State Racing Com
mission, of which Sinclair is mem
Der, filed it's annual report.
To the performances of Zev, Sin
clair's peerless racer, went principal
mention in the commissions review
Of racing for the year 1923 in New
York State. In this respect the
report said:
1.-The racing season of 1923 was
notable for the first international
race, with Zev and Papyrus compel
ing, the biggest event of its kind
ever attempted. 1t gained world
wide fame for the sport in the En-
pire State, as we'll as cementing a
firmer bond Of friendship between
the two great English-speakins
nations"
The commission, which consists
Of James w. Wadsworth, chairman;
George w. Loft and Sinclair, stated
that no official complaints as to the
manner in which racing in this
State has been conducted were re-
ceived by the commission during
the year.
The report set forth that the
sport of kings is progressing not
only in a racing way, but in the
breeding Of thoroughbreds as well.
New York State now boasts four
producing horses of the sort that
important stud farms, capable OF
can compete with the finest from
the blue grass lands of Kentucky,
it was declared.
Dwelling on the public benefits
derived from racing, the report con.
tinued:
Racing itself, in addition to be-
ing a fine sport, has proven of
great value in the United States
army, the State constabulary and
the farmers. The State breeding
bureau, as maintained by the
Jockey Club, had numerous add.
tons to its stallion list last year."
The commissions report closed
with the statement it had no recon-
mendations to make to the legiS-
lature at this time.

But he is tackling his work like
a man, for he has decided the win
ners will not be declared like the
Box peace plan. Skillet" and his
board of judges are personally pc
rusing every one Of thousands of last
lines submitted daily, and they are
fully repaid in the knowledge that
their work is making at least four
persons a day the four happiest
persons in or around Washington.
The winner Of the first grand
prize Of four tickets on the limerick
built around the name of George
Fisher was James c. Robertson, 1903
Lamont street, whose idea for the
most appropriate last line was:
'The team must play ball or he'll
quit 'em."
So, the completed limerick read as
follows:
George Fisher (AdOnis) can hit 'em.
As OutfieIder, too, he can init 'en
From tOpnOt to heel
His looks do reveal
The team must play ball or he'll
quit 'em.
Running Robertson a close race
was w. H. Clark, whose cryptic
last line couldn't help but attract
the attention of all hands. It fol-
lows:
"Tenacity, as infinit'um."
That, the judges believe is a linn
erick ending par excellence. They
had to juggle Robertson's and
Clark's over and over in their minds
before they could make a definite
first choice and finally decided to
rank them first and second in the
order named.
Next comes the contribution OF
F. B. Rawlings, whose last line ex-
presses an idea that should be
given recognition. He wrote:
Hell draw till the gates won't
admit 'em."
Not bad, Ell?
Then comes the last line sent in
by Harry Bushong, 1911 East Cap
itol street, which was also ticket
winner in the George Fisher in
stance. He submitted:
"Our signbOards, we hope he
don't split 'em."
NOW, IL 11dAAy A0oS AAAAO .A~~
read off," so to speak, the Other
part of the limerick, he would have
been an important contender for the
group of four tickets given away to
day but as the thought was broker
by that well-rhyming, well-meteret
lab of his, he fell little short O.
the quadruple prize, but wins
double prize instead.
There were dozens and dozens O.
other excellent last lines that has
to be looked at twice before they
were finally eliminated. Every on
