To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
From the different articles written on both sides
OF the Atlantic, and from the various kilograms
bearing upon the above subject. we have observed
these points,
First-That the most noted and experienced
watermen plainly declared that ut Hammersmitn
Bridge the race would be virtually decided aud that
II would be o race OF c0xswains.
SeOOnd-That the Harvard boat lost its lead OF two
lengths In the 'sh00p' at Hammersmith Bridge
Thhd--fhat the oxford men failed TO appear TO be
ready until fifteen minutes after the appo nted time
fact commented upon, even by the spectators.
From other sources we Learnt
Fust-That 1t was still water at the appointed
hour, five L. M, which hour was selected accord
ngly. and Immediately after the tide began to fall
SeC0nd-Ihat In the Thames the tide falls eighteen
feet 10 six hours which s equivalent to about one
and half feet every half hour.
Thi''u-That It took ten minutes TO reach Hammer.
smith Bridge, which added To the delay IN starting,
caused by the non-apDearance OF the oxford boat,
makes difference OF twenty-five minutes In the
condition OF the current under and around the pier
of Hammersmlth Bridge
Now, at this place the oxford boat avoided the
shootp Tor as we say IN America the "rapid " and
the Harvard boat lost Its clear gain OF two lengths
In striking this ''snoOt,n OF which their cOxswain
was PROBABLY ignorant
This state or the water would have been lmpos.
sbe had the boats started on ttme-that is 10 say,
fifteen minutes sooner. Therefore. In view Of these
oxford men aware OF these pecuarltles In the tide
and current under Hnmmersmith Bridge, and had
they not purpose In delaying the start as long
