...Lake on June 19. The refusal of the West Side railroad to provide an observation train for the race is chiefly responsible for the change. Furthermore the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania has declined to permit its crews to row so late as July 1. Owing to the tidal conditions on the Hudson River, the next date earlier than July 1 which would be favorable for a regatta will be June 14. This, however, would interfere with the final examination period at Cornell. On Cayuga lake the crews will row over a two-mile rather than a three-mile...

Large sums of money have been hurried to the scene of the disaster and supplies of food and clothing are being rushed to the relief of the sufferers...
...connection with the look and sluices has been finished. The large lock gates are being erected at the lock, and the sluice gates at the sluices. It is necessary to have the looks in operation before a beginning can be made on the cut-off of the tidal flow. Except for a few minor details, work on the cut-off will probably not be begun this winter...
