PRIZE oFFEKKD LONDON AND YALE.
Mr. Georges. Fox, prominent member OF the Phil
adephia Stock Exchangc desires tho HERALD to say
that In order that the London mon may not complain
OF any unfair treatment while here several gentlemen
OF this city will offer prize of plate, valued at oOo
Tor tho winners II they will row Yale again, anu that
any English gentlemen here whom they may name
not excepting Mr. Brickwood himself, may act as
referee.
Captain Gulston will probably decline on the ground
that his men have gone out OF training
He assured me a0dsy that he ,as and russ h
governing this regatta, and that both Colonel Forncy
and Commodore Ferguson when abroad assured hin
that the Henley rules would govern here. This the
Commodore. on his part denies absolutely, and says
that circulars were forwarded TO Captain Gulston
through the British Commission SIX months ago
distictly stating that the regatta would be
governed by the rules Of the American National ANA
teur Rowing Association. Tho point in Captain Gull
stons mind is is eligible amateur, their
rules barring all tradcsmen, ours not. Their rules
would thus throw out the Beaverwycks Courtney and
others OF our best amateurs.
