...LONDON, June 12. - The wind had almost subsided when the Cornell crew went over the course this afternoon.

The crew stripped and getting into the shell, Captain Cook gave instructions as to what was to be done, and immediately the word was given. They pulled the long, steady stroke that has come to be distinctively Yale...
