PHILADELPHIA June 1910 NJ.
Since forwarding my last despatch learn that the
referees of the championship OF America met at
the Girard Hotel this evening. Their chairman was
a man named wm. White. He is entirely unknown
in Philadelphia. The other referees not
generally known to the citizens OF Philadelphia,
who are indignant that outsiders who know nothing

their own private ends. should conduct

had an interesting conversation together In the COM
mittee, all OF which indicated that the cause OF the
| failure of the race was their own. Each side
| acknowledged fault.
The referee has decided that Hamlll and Coulter
shall row again tomorrow afternoon.
THE BROwN-TYLER RACE.
Fortunately the spectators OF the race were grati-
Eastern oarsmen-John Tyler, OF Boston, and Waiter
Brown. OF Portland. The race was honestly and
seemed equal to the contest and the manner in which
they handled their oars was appreciated by al friends
would win. He rounded the frst stakeboat ham
length ahead Of Tyler and gained the inside o the cur
rent. Notwithstanding this Tyler continued firmly
on his course aud won the race in twenty minutes
and fftyeght seconds by from one and half TO two
feet.
