The annual Spring Regatta was held at Lake Whitney Saturday, May 22, and was an interesting occasion for two special reasons. It furnished an exhibition of the stroke rowed by the University crew, and still further es- tablished the success of the scrub crews, which were introduced into the races last year for the first time. The University crew rowed an exhibition race against the Freshmen, winning over the one-mile and a _ quarter course in 6m. 88 1-5s. The eight rowed a stroke excellent in appearance, easy and graceful, and were loudly cheered by the crowds on the banks. They were three lengths ahead at the fin- ish, and were evidently not pushed to their utmost efforts. The class cham- pionship was won by the Freshmen, who defeated the Junior crew by one length, in 6m. 42 3-5s., and thus won the Cuyler cup. The scrub crew races were over a course seven-eighths of a mile in length. The Vanderbilt Hall crew from "97 won the regatta by defeating the Meander crew from ’99, and the Coy- strel Grew from ’98. The best time made by this crew was 5m. 4 38-4s. ——_—__» 6 @—___—- Mr. Lehmann and the Yale Crew. Mr. Lehmann’s visit to New Haven was not finished without various at- tempts on the part of newspaper men to secure an expression of opinion from him on the Yale crew. These were quite unsuccessful, and he was even quite guarded in his expressions of opinion to the Yale rowing men. He did say that he saw a great change in the rowing of the Yale men whom he had seen “last year at Henley, Messrs. Bailey and Langford, but left the nature of the difference to be in- ferred. He also made a remark from which some of his hearers inferred that he believed there was much more power in the stroke rowed by the erew this year than in that seen when the Yale crew first came to Henley. It is only fair to add that he did not say this. Mr. Lehmann’s visit was very thor- oughly enjoyed by all who met him. Why should an Educated Man be Handicapped? — One certainly is if he goes into business of any kind without knowing what is likely to be required of him. Those who know what is Best in Academic Education can appreciate most keenly the best PRACTICAL EDUCATION. Education in the minor details of any business may be obtained, it is true, by experience. But don’t be educated in this way unless youmust. IT?S EXPENSIVE. Employers charge dearly (in reduced wages) for what they teach. The long wait for a fair salary means more than the small outlay and short time required for thorough training in Eastman Business College, POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., THE BEST TRAINING SCHOOL OF THE LAND.

It forms on asbestos while being electrically treated in a solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial. When the cork of the vial is removed and the air comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from the inhaler a soothing us substance, which will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode penetrates parts that it would be impossible for drug's or medicines to do. Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head- ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ- ence with marvelous rapidity. This inhaler lasts from one to three years, Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler, $1.00.
