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.

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.
