THE HUDSON REGATTA
A SMASHING OP RECORDS
ISBD FOR TODAY.
FROM-
Crerrs Prom Pennsylvania, Cornell,
. Columbia, Geergeterrs and WU
" consln "Will Conpete.
POUGHKEEPSIE, X. Y June 29. The
programme for the college boat races to
morrow Is as follows:
4 o'clock University four-oared shells,
without coxwains, distance two miles.
Entries, Columbia, Cornell and Pennsyl
vania. Favorite tonight. Pennsylvania.
5 o'clock Freshman elght-oared shells,
distance two miles. Entries, Columbia.
Cornell, Pennsylvania and "Wisconsin. Fa
vorite tonight, Wisconsin.
6 o'clock University eight-oared shells,
distance four miles. Entries, Columbia.
Corn?ll. Pennsylvania, Georgetown and
"Wisconsin. Favorite tonlgnt, Cornell,
with Wisconsin and Pennsylvania almost
equally liked.
A feature of this year's regatta Is the
fact that in each and every event a
trophy is to be awarded to the winning
crew.
A smashing of Intercollegiate records for
'varsity eight-oared shells. If the wind and
weather are favorable, or at the least,
one of the most hotly-contested races
ever rowed In this country. Is promised
for tomorrow. Those who make preten
sions as experts say today, after watch
ing the practice, that never have crews
shown themselves so evenly matched
and this opinion is evidently shared by the
coaches; for not one of them tonight will
make definite prediction that his crew
will win the race.
So far as the consensus of opinion
among the experts is concerned, it is be
lieved that the four-oared event, which
will open the racing at 4 o'clock tomor
row afternoon, will go to Pennsylvania.
Its crew has shown superb form In prac
tice, Mr. Ward, the coach, giving them
a good deal of attentlon.whlle the coaches
of Columbia and Cornell have seemingly
neglected their four-oared crews and they
do not row in the same good form as
the freshmen and 'varsity. Mr. Court
ney, of Cornell, however, professes to be
lieve that while his four-oared crew does
not show up in the usual neat Cornell
form, they are very fast and this has
been In a measure demonstrated In their
practice with the eights.
In the freshmen eights the youngsters
from Wisconsin are picked as winners
by the same experts that pick Pennsyl
vania in the fours. That they are very
fast Is not to be disputed and they have
a quick, snappy style that usually counts
for much In the short two-mile race, but
the Pennsylvania freshmen are also very
quick and have given the 'varsity crew
& good hustle many times lately, showing
continuous Improvement that may be
dangerous to the success of the Wiscon
sin men. Cornell is usually a feature in
the freshmen races here and by no means
concede that they are outclassed, while
the Columbia boys. If they do not forget
the Hanlon stroke, claim that they will
be In the foremost of the fight One
thing Is always true of a freshmen race,
that it is won because of Its short course.
by hard work and not particularly by
endurance and skill like the four-mile and
that any one of the four crews has a
good winning chance. It will be what
the college boys call a "scrappy" race
from start to finish and It looks now as
If It would be done In fast time.
The 'varsity race Is causing more dis
agreements In expert circles than any
other previous race in years and this is
believed to be due to a divergence of opin
ion as to the relative merits of the
strokes. It Is a singular fact that five dls
tlnot strokes are being rowed here and
will be tested in the race tomorrow, in
contradistinction to an almost similar
stroke rowed by Tale and Harvard Thurs
day. In fact, the strokes are radically
. different, the only generally applied prfn
'clplo being In the case of Cornell. Penn
sylvania and Georgetown, all three of
Whom agree upon the strong use of the
leg to finish out the stroke after the
back of the man Is perpendicular in the
boat, r There, however, comes at once a
difference, for Georgetown completes the
stroke with the shoulders, Cornell with
the arms, and Pennsylvania with both
arms and a longer slide. Columbia uses
the shoulders to a large degree all through
the stroke, while the great difference In
the Wisconsin stroke from the others Is
the sharp quick catch and the quick re--covery.
Georgetown will row the fastest
stroke on the river, starting at 40, drop
ping down to 3S and getting back again
to 41 and 42. It is a hustle, but it seems
to make the boat go with a good rate.
The Strolccs trued.
Here is a brief description of the strokes
used, given to the Associated Press by
the various coaches:
Mr. Courtney for Cornell From the be
ginning of the stroke the backs of the
men are kept straight, as also the arms
-until the body has its full swing. Then
the hands are brought quickly to the
body, the elbows being kept low and close
to the eJaes. Instead of putting the oar
la h4 water at right angle like the Penn
sylvania crew, it goes in at an angle
of about 45 degrees, turning after it Is
In the water. The slide Is not started
unbl the oarsman has passed the erect
position and the oar Is at right angles
with the shell. Then they are shot out
to their full length. The recovery is slow
nnd dellberae to prevent checking of the
boat.
Mr. Hanlon, for Columbia I have en
deavored to get the crews to begin the
stroke with a quick catch pulled through
hard to the finish and not Jerked out.
The body swing and the leg drive are sim
ultaneous and not separated like Mr.
Courtney's. When the slide limit is
reached, the body should be erect and the
stroke then carried out to the finish by
a tremendous pull with the shoulders, the
body being firmly braced at the groins.
The recovery is slow as not to jerk the
boat, thus producing a check. The bod
ies aro carried quickly forward until
ready for the sharp catch again.
Mr. O'Dea. for Wisconsin We have
striven to obtain a long reach with the
back nearly as straight as possible and
the arms straight and rigid. The power
is applied by swinging the shoulders oi
the oar, the body being brought to an
upright position before the leg drive is
used. Then the legs are driven stead
ily on the stretchers, no decided kick be
ing given, but Just strong enough to keep
the -seat well under control. When the
hands reach the knees, the arms begin
to bend and the oar Is swept home with
a steady pressure. This completes the
pull, the hands are dropped low enough
to clear the water well. The blades are
then shot out at an even pace, the body
following sharply. The recovery grad
ually tones down until It ends softly Just
before the new catch.
Mr. Zaphon. for Georgetown I can tell
you my cardinal principles very briefly.
It is a full reach, which in the case of
my crew, with their superior height, is
long, a very quick catch and a full leg
drive, giving all the leg power possible In
conjunction with the shoulders. The re
covers" Is quick and the stroke rowed Is
high. i
Mr. Ward, for Pennsylvania The stroke
depends largely on the leg drive, even
more so than on the catch, the drive of
the leg on the finish of the stroke being
strong enough to give the boat such
tremendous Impetns that there can be a
sharp recovery without any check result
ing to the boat. The reach Is as long
as possible, but the grip on the water
Is slower than that of most of the other
crews.-
Tlie Three Ttacen.
two-mile course. The 'varsity race Is over
the four-mile course and It Is expected
will take place about 6 o'clock, a fine
time of the day for rowing.
The Poughkeepslc course of four miles
runs along the west bank of the Hud
son beginning at a point three miles above
the Poughkeepsle bridge and finishing a
mile below. It is as straight as a tightly
drawn line and Is not much affected by
the current of the river. The course holds
the world's record for four miles, It
having been established by Cornell In 1S95,
when the Ithacans rowed the four miles
In 19 minutes end 29 seconds.
The coaches predict record-breaking
time if tomorrow's weather is a repeti
tion of today's warm sun, cloudless sky
and lack of more than a pleasant breeze.
All of the coaches busied themselves In
giving preparatory touches to the boats
In which the men win row and tomorrow
they will go over them again carefully.
The coaches declare their men are in the
pink of condition. Added to this satis
factory report Is the admission of every
body concerned that they are all satisfied
with the course as drawn by them in the
various races. There does not seem to be
any disposition on either the part of
the crews or the adherents of the colleges
to make any excuses for their represen
tatives In the races. All concede that
the races will be rowed on merit alone.

NEW YORK. June 29. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
The country begins to feel some pf the
effects of Its new place among the na
tions. Influences affecting Its business
during the week ranged all the way from
a boycott at St. Louis to a war In South
Africa, and from sun spots to the relief
of Pekln.
A long effort to hold nominal prices for
Iron at Pittsburg has ceased and the
association now recognizes an open mar
ket. In which Bessemer is offered at $19
and billets at $26, with grey forge at $17.
Over 30 furnaces are said to have gone
out of blast, and while some have been
stopped for repairs, many more will lie
Idle for a time until wage scales for the
coming year have been settled with labor
organizations. With steel plates quoted
at $120 at Pittsburg and No. 27 sheets
at J2 09 certificates, no general gain In
business results from the sudden decline
In structural shapes.
Neither official nor unofficial accounts
have removed doubts about the wheat
crop and If It proves as low as one esti
mate, 4GO.000.000 bushels, the extent to
which It may now be displacing in Eu
ropean consumption by corn will be seri
ously tested. Exports of wheat and corn
were 429,000,000 bushels In 1S3S and 409.
00O.0CO in 1S99. and have been about 150,
COO.OOO bushels wheat and 210.COO.000 bush
els corn In the crop year 1900. But all
recent estimates of production have been
so far distrusted and It Is scarcely good
sense to base grave apprehension on any
so early a date. In four weeks of June,
exports of wheat, flour Included, have
been 10,090.075 bushels, against 8.932,628
bushels last year, and Pacific exports,
2.733,978 bushels, against 2,445.749 bushels
last year.
The calculation that the woolen goods
business was large enough and good
enough to stand anything Is not yet Justi
fied. The market Is growing unsatisfac
torily and It Is no longer denied that
some of the best works have closed or
materially reduced force. The demand
for men's heavy goods falls much below
expectations. With partially different
causes the cotton goods market reaches
a similar position. Depression In the
market for goods does not prevent raw
cotton from advancing to 10 cents. The
boot and shoe Industry makes slow prog
ress. Most Iflcal works have closed or
are about to close, though Western pro
ducers have a little better business than
Eastern. It Is thought Jobbers will soon
begin orders for Fall. Hides at Chicago
are a little weaker.
Failures for the week have been 207 In
the United States, against 21S last year,
and 21 In Canada, against 22 last year.
ease of the New York money market have
of course,, been factors In sustaining
prices.

LONDON. June CO. 4:20 A. M. Active
Boer guerrilla operations are reported
from half a dozen points in Orange River
Colony. Boer official reports from Macha
dodorp aver that a part of a British con

The Lcurenco Marques correspondent of
the Times says:
"Both the buriers and the foreigners
who are arriving here profess a strong
belief that it will take from three to six
months to subdue the Boers."
Another dispatch from Lourenco
Marques says:
"A consignment of a foreign firm
marked 'Dutch cheese, damaged,' proved,
on landing, to contain army boots for tho
Boers. It passed the customs, however,
with unusual dispatch, and the British
Consul is making presentations to the
Portuguese Government."

NEW YORK, June 29. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
Distributive trade is dull, seasonably
so In most Instances, and prices of manu
factured products are generally weak, but
exceptions to the former are found whero
crop conditions ae exceptionally promis
ing and In the case of prices where tho
readjusting movement has been overdone
on the down side.
The upward rueh of wheat prices cul
minated at the close of last week and the
reactions and Irregularities since, mainly
due to heavy realizing, would mainly
point to the movement having been tem
porarily at least overdone." Reports of rain
In the Northwest, though it is claimed
too late to help the crop in Minnesota and
the Dakotas, have had some reassuring
effect, and second thought apparently In
clines bears to the belief that the late
advance discounted mup h of the shortage
on yields of the world's crop. Advices
from the North are of little more than
half a crop of wheat, but estimates as
to the outturn in bushels vary accord
ingly Tas the Government reports of 316.
OJO.OOO bushels, or the commercial esti
mate of 200.000,000 bushels in yield last
yrar In the three states are used as a
basis.
A short-lived scare on the reports of
do weather In the corn belt, sympathy
with the early advance In wheat and.
j-lp f what Is more important, apparently ln-
creafea popularity ui turn un cajjui 1 ac
count, was responsible for this cereal
reaching the highest point paid for a
year past. Oats and other farm crops
also sympathized, as did most hog prod
ucts. Butter is higher on smaller re
ceipts. Sugar is at the highest price
reached aX this time for 10 years past,
owing to the active canning demand and
the strengthened position of raw. The
war In China Is chargeable with the ad
vance in teas, not only from the former
country, but from Japan, some Interup
tln In transportation being apparently
looked for If the Asiatic trouble Increases.
Heavy rains are complained of In the
entire cotton belt east of the Mississippi
River, and tho crop is very generally
"In the grass." The result has been an
vance of J.ic on spot. Increased cost of
the raw material Is not balanced by an
advance In finished products. The con
trary Is the case, because print cloths are
c off and prints are 4c lower per yard.
Reports from the Iron and steel trade
are as pessimistic as ever.omlnally quo
tations at Pittsburg are unchanged, but
It Is claimed buyers can get supplies from
$1 to $3 lower. At other markets pig Iron
and bars among finished products are un
questionably lower. A comparison of
present prices with those or a year ago
show that pig Iron Is little above last
year, while steel billets, bars and platea
are all lower. The reduction In structural
material has brought little new business.
The lead market Is apparently an exam
ple of the readjustment of prices having
been overdone, because It Is now steady,
after two advances from the low point
reached some weeks ago.
Wheat. Including flour, shipments for

No great change has taken place In the
character of current stock speculation.
The market has continued to be a highly
professional one, and the tendency of
prices for the week may be explained
by saying that 'traders continued to sell
stocks down early In the week on the
bad crop news from the Northwest and
South, and later covered their short con
tracts extensively, thereby causing a re
covery in quotations. A circumstance
which helped the market was the disap
pearance of acute fears on the part of
J foreign markets that the Chinese troubles
might lead to friction between tho
powers. The ease of the Berlin money
market and the apparent end of fears of
a stock market collapse there also has
had a very good effect; and German sales
of Americar stocks In London having
ceased, our 'curltles tended to advance

Debate Opened In the House of
Commons.
LONDON. June f9. When the House of
Commons went Into committee of supply
today on the supplementary vote for the
army medical service. Introduced for the
purpose of debating the charge of hos
pital mismanagement in South Africa,
made by Mr. Burdett-Coutts. thj conserv
ative member for Westminster, the Par
liamentary Secretary of ifco Var Office,
George Wyndham, briefly presented the
government defense. The allegations as
to neglect of the sick and wounded
wore frankly admitted to be true to a
lamentable extent. The disabled were
exposed, he said, to terrible hardships,
but it was not due to any shortage of
supplies, but to the Insuperable difficul
ties of distributing supplies, of which
there had been an embarrassing accumu
lation In South Africa. Mr. Wyndham
contended that to have given a true im
pression of the state of affairs exlstinc.
Mr. Burdett-Coutts should have painted
a companion picture, showing the difficul
ties encountered in supplying 73,000 troops
on a march which was carried out, prac
tically under the conditions of a huge
flying column. The single line of rail
road, with bridges broken, he assorted,
had to carry 1020 tons daily by order of
Lord Roberts. The army, Mr. Wyndham
further remarked, should not starve or
be defeated. He concluded with contend
ing that Mr. Burdett-Coutts" picture rest
ed on tho fallacy that Bloemfonteln was
a railroad base and hospital, where as.
during the period referred to. Lord Rob
erts flank and communications were
threatened and actions occurred dally.
Mr. Burdett-Coutts replied that he re
peated the charges already known, and
declared that a single day's train on the
railroad to Bloemfonteln would have
saved the situation. But, he claimed, the

A LITERARY GATHERING.

LONDON. June 29. There was a re
markable gathering of literary and ar

Mansion House, given by tho Lord Mayor,

points, no Santa Fe passenger trains to
Los Angeles and no rate-cutting.
One matter that enters as an Important
factor Into the arrangement is the agree
ment of the Santa. pe to keep out of the
Los- Angeles business. Although It has
a line between here and Los Angeles by
means of which" It would compete for a
share of the large and profitable passen
ger business between the two points, it
will place no tickets on sale and will run
no trains from here to the Southern me
tropolis. The Santa Fe officials explain
this by pointing out that their line Is 100
miles longer from San Francisco to Los
Angeles than that of the Southern Pacific.

Mr. Choate, responding to the toast of
his health, said he also was struck by
these omissions. He pointed out that
only one American woman was men

she saved the life of an English Cap

"everything relating to America's separa- j
