Haltpast four was the hour Professionally fixed upon
for the race But the Ataanas mad stipulated for what
they called shellbOat water, and, as fresh breeze
was blowing against the food tide there was great
certainty whether the race would DO rowed. Mr..
LESLEY the referee, an oxford man. was empowered to
decide this delicate question Like the Harvard men,
the Atalanas were content with the usual English
machinery for a matter OF this kind. They insisted on
having umpire for each party plus referee to decide
between them All such points easily conceded
them Mr. Webster American. acted for the Ataanta,
Mr. Herbert Playford for London. While we were
waiting little doubtfully on our steamer to know
whether the race was to come on, two OF
three hundred thousand people with less means
Of information, getting still more impatient
u was finally settled that the race should
be rowed but from Mortlake down to PutneS' instea
OF from Puney to Mortlake The Atalantas gained twC
points by this They would have the wind with thon
instead OF against them, and they would escape Tho
