Every walk of life was represented in the throng, from the coal and wood| man with his pushcart from around| the corner to the district boss, Even children on their way to and from school stopped at the door and peered through the windows for a glimpse at Jersey City’s latest hero. ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD TALK OF THE FIGHT. All the other little Shugrues—there are eight of them, ranging from the youngest, three years old, up to Joe— seemed swelled with pride.

This will mean a week of raced, with the various college crews rowing heats, until it gets down to two crews, There will be races also for scullers. The eight-oared events will be for varsity and fresh. men crews. . At the meeting when the new organization was launched were rep- resentatives of all the leading colleges and the military and naval acad- emies. They discussed the abolishing of the annual battle on the water between Harvard and Yale and other dual events, as well as the Pough- keepsie regatta. The colleges that have long been in favor of cutting down the racing distance of four miles see in this plan a chance to bring about shorter races, If the crews are called upon to compete in heat races it may bring the distance down to two miles or less. In the Henley ‘regatta the distance is about one mile and a half.
