nation of tho clothing revealed papers I ml I
eating that they belonged to Jonathan

tbo owner had been drowned in tho dam.
They hurried to town and gave notice, of
their discovery. A largo crowd soon assem
bled at tho dam. Two young men named

PoughkMpale, N.Y., June 28. Twen
ty thousand people yesterday saw one
of the most exciting four mile boat
races ever witnessed lu the history of
college rowing. Five thousand people
on tho observation train yelled them
Belvos hoarse In frantic appeals to tho
various college crews to do their b8t,
and with the other 15.000 they saw tho
Pennsylvania crew come over the line
by a short half length from the Wis
consin, who lost In the last 200 yards
by bad steering. Cornell, the vlotor in
former years, pulled after, full four
lengths In tho rear, and Columbia,
never In tho light after the end of the
first mllo. trailed in n good three
lengths from the stern of the Cornell
boat.
It wna tho hind of n race that makes
tho blood tingle, and was made so by
tho crow that came over a thousand
miloa to meet former victors, for with
out tho gallant Wlsconslns In the race
It would have beon a doleful proces
slon after the second mllo was scored.
To say that thoro was surprise on the
observation train and amid the great
crowds upon the banks when the Wis
consin shell swopt mllo alter mile oi
tho course until tho lost tmlf was
reachod, with a clear lead over all the
crews. Is putting It mildly. When the
people on the bank, unable to place the
strnngor crew, looked toward the ob
servation train Inquiringly and were
told that it waa Wisconsin they were
almost dumb with amazement, and
when thoso on the train saw the gal
lant strugglo, mile aftor mile, they
dropped their appeals for their own
crows and yelled In a friendly manner
for tho boys from tho west.
Tlio Ilndtrir n Snrpriso.
The alleged ragged stroko, tho badly
keeled boat, the too long reach, all
wore forgotten as tho fast moving craft
kept Its sharp nose to tho foro, and
then tho pooplo saw tho loaders turn
out toward the shoro at tho finish and
lose the race to tho men from Penn
eylvnnla by a short half length. Woll
did tho PonnsylvantanB obey tho In
junction of Ellis Ward to not loso their
beads. From the first eighth of a mile
they rowed a stern, hard chaso, at ono
tlmo being aatorn of both Cornell and
Wisconsin, but their pluck and endur
ance sent them over tho lino first in
good tlmo and by such n small mar
gin that tho glory Is greator.
For Cornell, tho winner of many
battles, tho contest proved to bo a raco
only In two miles. For thoso first two
miles sho did gallant work, but sho
was struggling against evidently bettor
crews, and it was only by exertions
of a phenomenal nnturo that sho man
aged to keep the nose of tho boat
ahead of Pennsylvania for a brief tlmo
In the second mile. Of Columbia It
may bo said that sho was outclassed
from tho start, and. barring on acci
dent, thoro was ncvor a time when sho
stood a chance of winning tho raco.
Sho went to tho roar In tho first quar
ter of a mllo, although she made a good
start, and stayed all through tho raco.
When the crows were called out to
preparo for tho start It was rather piti
ful to hear the threo eastern crews get
cheer after choor and the western crow
not any. The race was started at 7:03,
after tho crows had beon twice called
back. On tho third attempt the crews
got away without accident. Thla start
was a beautiful one, tho four boats
noses seomlng to hang togother for
tho first two strokes. As they settled
In the stroke taught them by the vari
ous coaches Wisconsin seemed to bo
rowing the least number of strokes
per minute of any of tbo crows, but
her boat wbb going faster than any of
the others. Wisconsin rowed 32, Penn
sylvania 34, Cornell 34 and Columbia
33. Before the first eighth mile was
finished the Wisconsin boat had shoved
its nose ahead of the other crows, with
Cornell second, Pennsylvania hanging
well on to hor, and Columbia third,
dropping astern.
Tho Fight For Seoond Plna,
When the first half mllo was reached
eo fast waa the Wisconsin boat going
that it had taken its whole length
ahead of tho Pennsylvania boat and
was halt a length ahead of tho Cornell
boat, on the extremo east. Columbia
was rowing with the noso of her boat
Just overlapping Pennsylvania. Fran
tically the Pennsylvania rooters on the
train yelled at their crew, and la o

me muo was reached the Wisconsin
boat had a lead of a clear length ovor

consin crew had settled down to a
etroko of 82 to the minute, the boat
never checking between the strokes
and the blades cutting tho water as
Kconly as a knifo. "Look at thosu
