Superb Contest Be
tween Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin,:
Race Too Much for Cornell
Who Was Bacly
Beaten,
Columbia Kowed Poorly and
Wa3 Never in the
Eace.
Westerners Showed Best Waterman
ship for Three , Miles, and Only
Lost by Half a Lengih.
Poughkeepsie, N. T., June 27. What
was probably the most sensational boat
race ever' witnessed on an American
course was rowed over the Hudson
river's four mite course this afternoon
by the Pennsylvania, Qorneli'", -Columbia
and Wisconsin',' gbtiJujyl'thiTty-
thousand persons witnefleed the con
test. Pennsylvania won :ty naif a
lengtth ove J Wfeconsin, who rowed in
magnificeA form for three miles and a
half, leading: the procession. In the
Jiait half aiile Pennsylvania hit up the
paceaTiaoon overhauled the western
era. The coxswain of the latter lost
his bearings" at ttihis et,ge and steered
out of the proper course, while two
members of the crew caught crabs or
jumped slides, which wae directly re
sponsible for their defeat.
The westerners were showered with
congratulations at the finish, for the
superb race they put up during the
greater part of the course.
When Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
crossed, the finish line, tney were so
close, from the spectators' standpoint,
that it was impossible to tell which was
the victor. lit wias not until the referee
ordered ittoree guns fired from the "yacht
Aileen, which was the signal an
nounced that he should fire if the
Quakers won. that the crowd learned
that they were the victors'. Pennsyl
vania's followers were frantic with en
fchusiasm and yelled themselves
hoars.
Cornell was a sore disappointment to
its army of supporters, who were con
fident of victory. The Ithacans. did
well for half the distance but the kill
iner Dace set by the leaders took the
steam out of them and they were beat
en worse than ever before. They were
three and a half lengths behind Wis
consin at the finish and completely
fagged out. Columbia was even more
disappointing. The crew was never in
the race, rowed poorly, and dropped
back so swiftly 'after two miles that it
seemed as though the' shell and men
kvere weighted wirth iron. They were
eieht lengths in the wake of Cornell
at the finish, tand in dire distress.
The race was rowed under perfect
oondltions with the water smooth as
glass. Jockeying and scheming of the
coaches for supposed advantages
caused a provoking delay at the start
It was nearly 7 o'clock before the
crews finally got off. Two false starts
added to the delay. In these the crews
were called back on protests by Wis
consin and Columbia respectively,
who took advantage of the rules
whereby if a protest is made before ten
strokes have been made, the crews
must be recalled.
Wisconsin for three miles showed the
best Watermanship. Three thousand
spectators witnessed the contest from
observation train which followed the
boats along the course. The victory of
Pennsylvania was earned,, even if it
was partly due to the mistakes of Wis
consin. They stuck to their task in a
way th'at surprised everybody, consid
ering the tremendous strain they were
subjected to. The official time of the
winners was 20 minutes and 4 seconds.
Wisconsin's time by unofficial watches
was 20.05 1-2.

The Orders for Continuing Enlistment
Issned Last Night Decision to
v Increase Force is Surprising.
Washington, June 27. What amounts
to a practical decision to send Jrein
forcements beyond the limit of thirty
thousand fixed by Otis as necessary to
Quell the rebellion in the Philippines
was reached at the white house today
between President McKinley and Bec
retaries Alger and Hay. jp'
The plan adopted to secure addition
al troops is to continue the enlistment
of recruits at the regular recruiting
stations beyond the limit of 65,000 en
listed regulars authorized by tthe army
reorganization act. No limit' has been
placed on the number of enlistments in
excess of 65,000, but the administration
will decide in the future Just how
many, men are needed Dy lien. Oils,
The necessary orders for continuing
the enlistment were issued this even
ing. The decision to increase General
Otis' force now is surprising. White
General Otis has consistently adhered'
to (his abatement that $0,000 would be
sufficient, the administration has been
urged by prominent supporters all over
the country 'to send General Otis suffi
cient troops to make shoht work of the
campaign.
