YALE ALUMNI WHEHEKLY THE GREW IMPROVES. Poughkeepsie Finally Chosen—Wis- consin Race Hoped For. It is now Officially stated that the Yale-Cornell-Harvard race will be rowed on the Hudson, June 24. The Yale quarters will be at the Stuyvesant Place, where Columbia has been lodged during the last two years. It is situat- ed on the east bank about one and one half miles below the start. Harvard will be located on the western bank the same distance above the start, and Cor- nell has her quarters in the city of Poughkeepsie. The University of Wisconsin at first decided that it would be impossible ow- ing to financial difficulties to send a crew to New Haven in reply to the in- vitation of the Yale management, men- tioned already in the Weekly. Since then a mass meeting has been held and the necessary funds appropriated for the expenses of the trip. The Western crew is very much set against allowing the Yale Freshmen to enter the race, and upon this question negotiations are now being carried on. The date set for the event is May 29, and it will take place either on the Harbor or Lake Saltonstall. The proposed course is two miles in length. There is con- siderable reason to expect that a sat- isfactory race of all three crews will be arranged. The work of the University crew has been favored by better conditions of wind and weather during the past week and a corresponding improvement in the rowing has been noticed. The boat has run much more smoothly, the men row together better and in fact the whole crew has steadied down to more careful and thorough work. The four mile course was rowed on time for the first time in the shell this year, and the results are said to have been very satisfactory for this stage in the train- ing. The time was not especially fast, but the steadiness and endurance shown by the oarsmen from start to finish raised the hopes of Yale’s suc- cess to a higher point than they have yet recahed this season. An oarsman of two seasons back, who has been watching the Oxford and Cambridge crews in England during their train- ing this season, followed the Yale men in the launch one day last week, and gave his opinion that they were doing very well, much better than the cur- rent reports would seem to indicate. The order of the crew is unchanged, being as follows: Stroke, Langford; No. 7, Griswold; No. 6, Allen; No. 5, Bailey; No. 4, Greenway; No. .3, Campbell; No. 2, Whitney; bow, Rogers. <> > wey Military Trip to Fort Hancock. With the view of showing the Sen- ior Academic and Scientific military companies some of the elements of the proposed system of coast defense of the United States, Lieutenant Murray is arranging to take such members of the companies as have shown an interest in military affairs on a trip to Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Permission has been obtained from the necessary authorities to make this trip and a fast government boat, the Gen- eral Muggs, has been procured from the United States Quartermaster’s Depart- ment to take the party from New York city to the Fort and return. Some ex- perimental firing of heavy guns will probably be shown to the men. The grounds and seacoast fortifications at the Hook have never been open to the public, and permission may never be given again except for distinct military purposes. The trip will probably be made on Wednesday, May 12. Lieut. Murray is now negotiating with the Quartermas- ter about the hours and the minor de- tails of the trip. <>» 2 in Sah ile Spalding’s New Baseball Guide.
