test, and all the world listens with
keenest interest for news of the result.
The Cornell boys have been coached
by Charles Courtney, who, in his day,
was the greatest wielder of single
sculls in the world. lie has had splen
did material to work with, and if noth
ing untoward happens to the crew, the
'fight" which will represent Cornell
and the United States in the great
aquatic event can be depended on to
reflect honor on both.
Just who will constitute the crew is
not at this moment positively known,
even to Mr. Courtney, who is to select
the men, but he thinks they will be:
Bow—F. M. Mathews, of Buffalo, N.
Y. Ho is twenty-one years old, has
great endurance and good weight—102
pounds, nc is five feet ten inches tall,
and a student in the freshman class o£
the law school.
No. 2 will bo M. 6. Spillman, of
Tonawanda, N. Y. He was a good
football player before entering Cornell.
He was the captain of the ’97 football
team, and “stroked” his freshman crew.
He stands five feet ten inches high,
weighs 104 pounds and is a good all
round athlete.
No. 8—E. C. nager, of Buffalo, N. Y.
He, too, was a football player, and
rowed No. S in his freshman class, and
was in the ’Varsity eights of 1893 and
1S94. He stands five feet ten and one-
half inches high, and pulls down the
scales at 173 pounds.
No. 4—Thomas W. Fennell, of El
mira, N. Y., is also a football player,
and Cornell never had a better eenter
than he. He is a young giant, for, al
though only nineteen years old, he
stands six feel tall, and in condition
pulls down the beam at 170 pounds.
No. 0—Is a Canadian. lie is T. llall,
of Washington, Oat lie is five feet
ten inches high, weighs 160 pounds and
Is a remarkably fine oarsman. A fine
footballer, he was the stroke oar of the
freshman crew that beat Yale in 1891.
He also stroked the ’Varsity eights of
1692-93. He is twenty-five, and is the
oldest man in the crew.
No. 7—C. A. Louis, of Brooklyn, N.
Y. lie stands five feet eleven inches,
weigh» lo:» pounds, and, though a now
nr:: la r- wiug, has shown excellent
i-L-y-o-It. U. Hamilton, of Ithaca, N.
Y. IL~ is a magnificent athlete, who
pt-r-’cM his freshmen crew and was in
year's 'Varsity eight, ne has won-
•ur.'v.l pov.-cr and speed, ne is fire feet
t en inches tall, and scales 1G8 pounds.
Four substitutes will be taken to
England. They will probably be
Messrs Dyer, Roe, Capt Shape and Mr.
Gently.
The Cornell boys will sail from New
York on the Paris on May 29, and they
will take with them the good will and
inestimable value. Actors often say:
'If I could only go in front and- see my
self play I would soon be abje • to cor
rect all my poses, walks and positions.”
Courtney makes the camera do this
werk for his men. He takes snap shots
at his men in action, and when the pic
tures are developed each man can see
for himself whether or not he worked
he should. These pictures are ob
ject lessons of the most Interesting
character. They will be a valuable ad
dition' to tbe athletic archives of the
college, end they will grow more and
more valuable from year to year.
There is one place where photogra
phy does not meet with favor, and,
oddly enough, it is the place where it Is
most needed. That is, on the race
track. We are taught that there are
exceptions to all rules and that man,
proud man, with all his accomplish
ments, is but fallible. We know, too,
for sleight-of-hand performers have
demonstrated it thousands of times,
that the eye, wonderful as is its power,
cannot follow accurately objects in
quick motion if tliat motion be irregu
lar. The exception to this rule is the
ability of race track judges and start
ers to perform their duties without
making a single blunder. These gen
tlemen claim absolute infallibility. It
is true that thousands of people fre
quently differ in opinion front them,
just as they do from the opinions of
baseball umpires, who are also infal
lible. It would seem that these gentle
men would welcome the camera to
their stands r.s a valuable adjunct to
aid them in justly determining close
finishes, but they do not - . They look
upon it with distrust. This is, I think,
largely duo to the fact that nowadays
race track judges anil starters ore won
derfully well paid for their services,
and they recognize that if the camera
were called in to help them their sal
aries would oon be cut down. They
may kick Wow, but I venture the
prediction that, within five years, every
first-class race track in the country
will be provided with a suitable place
for photographing its finishes and with
a dark room for instantly developing
the plates. The photographer I speak
of tells me that if he had such accom
modation he could develop a plate in
three minutes that would enable the
judges to determine absolutely the
winner in a nose-and-nose finish. This
being the case, the day of the purblind
and often incompetent race-track judge
Is rapidly coming to an end. Speed its
close. My photographic friend is now

experimenting with a powerful camera
with a view to applying it to base
ball. He believes that he will be able
to “snap” all base plays, so that the
vexed question whether or not a man
is “out” or “safe” when he slides to a
base or otherwise gets there can be de
termined beyond the cavil of a doubt.
We live in a progressive age, truly.
The marquis of Queensberry, who, by
the way, is the author, by approval, of
the boxing rules which bear his name,
despite all claim to the contrary, has
been much in the eye of the world
lately. Our picture shows him as be
appears on a tricycle. He thinks he is
a little too old and stiff in the joints for
4 ‘bike.” I am told that be is very fond
of his tricycle, and that it is no unusual
thing for him to take a fifty-mile spin
on it. Men in tliis conntry, far older
than the doubty marquis, ride bicycles
daily. It’s great sport.
An energetic effort is being made to
establish steeplechase racing in popu
lar favor, but it is up-bill work. In
the first place, the opportunities for
‘crooked work” are tenfold greater
than in flat racing, and we all know
that they are far too plentiful. It is so
easy to make a horse bolt, to lose ground
after a jump, or even to roll off him at
an opportune moment. This makes the
bettor shy of such races, and without
the bettor no racing can be made to
pay, and racing that does not pay will
not long be preserved in this country.
Then there is the element of danger to
considered. The great mass of
race goers are normal, healthy-minded
people, and they do not want to
see a man or fine horse maimed, crip
pled or killed going over a hurdle or a
water jump. One of the most horrible
sights I ever saw was the trampling to
death of Jockey Harris in a steeple
chase at the Brighton Beach race track
several years ago. His horse fell going
over a hurdle in the in-field, almost in
front of the grand stand. As the poor
brute straggled to his feet he stepped
on poor Harris* face, and his hoof
crushed it in as though it were an egg
shell. That may be “sport," bnt if it is
I, in common with -many others, want
none of it. In one of the opening races
of tbe Steeplechase association at Mor
ris park last week a horse fell going
over tbe water jump, and his jockey
was so stunned that for the moment it
was thought he was killed. Instantly
two men ran with a stretcher, placed
him on it and carried him out of sight.
Immediately a beautiful girl arose. Her
face was blanched with horror and her
lips trembled with fear. “Take mo
