Q minute and then resumed.
THE sHoE-wAEs wIN
The Shoe-waes had kept pretty straight
course until the infection of bad steering
of the other two crews took them, but they
soon righted their way and kept their lead
without any difficulty. They saw the heat
was all their own and they took things easy,
finishing the last three hundred yards with
one hand on the oar and with the other
waving their caps overhead in answer to
the salutations Of the onlookers. Opposite
t. the Grand Stand the Shoe-waes raised
their stroke to forty-eight, to afford the
spectators an exhibition of their powers,

Padding to their boathouse the Shoe
waes sprang upon the float with
agility, cheerily offering to row the race
over again if necessary. They were alto

Columbias were also very fresh on leaving
their boat and made claim to be allowed
to row again in the final heat. The VIC
tony, however, was an unsatisfactory one to
them. Columbia finished second, Dublin
third. af
THE RxYERRE's DECISION.
The referee decided that Dublin had
fouled Columbia, but for the time reserved
his decision as to what final disposition he
would make Of Columbia. It is hoped, and
by many believed, that the Columbus will
be permitted to row again.
THE WESTERN oARsMEN.
The Shoe-waes will now have to meet the
victors in the second heat. Among English
rowing men the opinion is expressed that
their style Of rowing is undoubtedly better
suited to the mile and quarter Henley
course than to four mile race like that
from Putney to Mortlake.
