Edson Fcsifcnden Gnllaudot, whose marriage to Miss Marlon Cockroll In Washington recently caused an ad Jnurnmont of tho sennte In ordor Hint the members might attend the notablo ceremony, was tho stroko of two winning win-ning Yale crows, In 1892 and 1893, and ono of tho host university oarsmen of his day. Ho wns considered ono of tho handsomest men In Yale. An old athlete, who roomed with Oallaudet, said In tho Yalo club last night: "Yalo coaches to this day consider tho '92 crew ono of tho fastest and smoothest over turned out from New Haven, nnd the stroke did his full part, and more, In tho production of this magnificent eight, of which Dr. 'Josh' Hartwcll was captain. "Oallaudet was not a muscular nor a powerful looking mnn, but he drovo his crew, ob fow strokes In this country coun-try have been able to do, by Bheer ncrvo, endurance nnd Judgment. Ho was an amateur violinist of rare ability abil-ity and torhnlquo when ho took up rowing. He found that tho musical training of years would suffer by tho loss of flexibility In fingers and wrists, and was about to give up oarsmanship when the urgent need of n university btroke caused him to set college loyalty loy-alty In first place."
