To say there was sur- prise on the observatfon train and amid the great crowd on the banks when ths Wisconsin shell swept m after mile of the course until the iast half was reached with a ciear lead over all the crews is puttipg it mildly. When the people on the bank, unable to place the strange crew, looked toward the observation train inquiringly and were told that it was Wis- [ in they were almost dumb with amazement, and when those on the train saw the gallant struggle mile after mile they dropped their appeals for their own cre and velled in a friendly manner for the boys m the West. The aileged ragged stroke, the badly keeled boat, the tco-long reach all were forgotten as the fast-moving shell kept its sharp nose to the fore, and then the people saw the Jeaders turn out tow: the shore at the flnish and lose the r. o men from Pennsylvania by a short half length. Well did the Pennsylvanians obey injunction of Ellls Ward to not lose their head rom the first eighth of a mile they rowed a hard stern chase, at time being astern of both Cornell Wisconsin, but their pluck and enduranrce sent them over the iine first in geod time and by such a small margin that is greater. For Cornell, the winner of many bat- es, the contest proved to be a race only in two miles. For those first two mil she did gallant work, but s i cne o it was only by exertions of a phenome: ture that she managed to keep the no _the boat ahead of Pennsyvivania for a f time in the second mile. Columbta was outclassed from the start. At the start Cornell h the channel where the advantage is said to lie, with Columbia next to her, and then | came Pennsyivania, with Wisconsin closa in to the shore. It was rather pitiful 1o hear the three Fastern crews get cheer after cheer and the Western crew not any. wo false starts were made, The third was a beautiful one, the four boats' noses seeming to hang together for the first two strokes. As they settled In the stroke taught them by the various coaches Wis- consin seemed to be rowing the leas number of strokes per minute of ar the crews, but her boat was going f than any of the others. Wisconsin rowed Pennsylvania 3, Cornell 34 and Colum- hin 33. Before the first elghth of a mile was finished the Wisconsin boat hal with Cornell second, Pennsylvania han; ing well on to her and Columbia fourth, dropping astern. Muscovado. | third. Arder was sovereigns, i x | Coney Island Stewards Found No In- it had taken its whole lengt When the first half mile was reached 80 fast was the Wisconsin boat going that ad of the Pennsylvania boat and was a half-length ahead of the Cornell boat. On the extreme east, Columbla was coming with the nose of her boat just overlapping Pennsyl- vania. Frantically the Pennsylvania rooters on the train yelled at their crew and the Quakers seemed to respond, as in a few minutes they shot thelr boat up even with the Cornell boat, but to catch Wisconsin was not so easy. On a perfectly even keel, with the bodies going well back together and the heads seeming as if they would swin off the shoulders, a feature that seeme to make the critics believe that they would go to pieces after the first mile, the Wisconsin crew flew on. When the mile was reached the Wisconsin boat had a lead of a clear length of Penns vania, while Cornell and Pennsylvania > -sawing for second place. The n crew had settled down to a stroke of 32 to a minute, the boat never checking between the strokes and the blades cutting the water as keenly as a knife. The slow recovery and the slow stroke had benind it a wonderful power and the Wisconsin boat never checked or stopped as it went toward the second mile. In the meantime Pennsylvania and Cor- nell were having as pretty a fight for second place as ever has been seen on the course. Time and time again the Cornell crew put a little more back in the stroke and sent the nose of their boat even with that of the Quakers, but It was quite ap- parent that there was little chance of | their holding it there. When the Wisconsin crew had reached the mile nnd a quarter point it eased off a trifle In its stroke, rowing for two cr three minutes at 31. At the same time Carnell picked up its stroke and shoved its boat’s nose elightly ahead of Penn- sylvania and overlapping the stern of the Wisconsin shell. “Cornell, I vell,” came from thousands of throats on the obser- vation train and the hope arose that the Cornell crew was going to the front in its usual style. But with apparent ease the Wisconsin stroke went ck to its regular 32 and the boat shot ahead again a good half length. At the same time, Pennsylvania’s boat, which had been lag- ging a half length behind Cornell, shot up level with Cornell's boat, while Co- lumbia, making a desperate effort, placed the nose of their shell near Pennsviva- nia’s stern. Passing the three and a quarter miles point Pennsyivania hit the stroke up to thirty-five and there began one of the most exciting contests ever seen in_boat racing. Slowly the bowman of the Penn- vania boat lined up with the cockswain in the Wisconsin’s boat, but just as he | had come up on a line with him the Wis- away, exposing the bone. | At first it was thought that he could | not possibly recover, but his chances are now said to be improving. He may be crippled for life. it g Large Crops of Peaches. MARYSVILLE, June 27.—Two of ) H County.

Tt was at this point that Wisconsin was seen to swerve badly toward the wes: shore, and to the surprise of eve maintained this course, although it took the boat inside of a number of smal] pleasure boats and fully 500 vards out of their course at the finish. Naturally, the Pennsylvania boat gained upon the Wis- consin boat, and as they passed into the last quarter the noses of the shells were on a line. The Wisconsin boat, unable to turn back into its lane, had found dead water near the shore, and, pull as Wis- consin would and as desperately as it did, the nose of the Pennsvivania shell came out inch by inch until it crossed the line @ scant half length ahead of the Badgers' oat, Official summary: 20:04; Wisconsin's, Columbia’s, 20:20. course is 16 Two Famous Horses Dead.

For some months it has been a case of hope deferred, but the men interested have not lost heart. The directors of Ingleside Coursing Park expressed the opinion yesterday that the ordinance granting them the right to course v days in the year would be finally passed at the next meet- ing of the Supervisors. Should such ac- tion be en coursing would be resumed at Ingleside with as little delay as pos- sible. P. J. Reilly would be in the saddle judge. while Harry Murray would be slipper. Both mem have been identified with the sport In various capacities for > Jears.

The sociation yesterday decided on | zanized effort to do away ' with scalping. Heretofore it has heen | the custom of many of the roads ta wi at the practice so long as the: selves were not injured. This resulted in greatly shaking the confidence of the stern roads. over which many spacial te tickets were sold, and had much to do with_their opposition to special rates | proposed with the view of inducing dif- erent large organizations to hold their conventions in this State, The association also decided to send a | committee to Indianapolis next July to | see if the Epworth League conventjon cannot be secured for Californfa.
