spite of the shouts of the umpire: dublin,

tangled themselves. and when they did so
Columbia was leading Dublin. Long before
this the Shawacaemettes had taken de-
cided lead, having made up what they lost at
first by uniform stroke of forty-six from
the start. At the time of the foul, which
occurred at the end of mile, they were one
length ahead of the fouling crews.
Upon witnessing the foul the Shoes bow
gave the order to tease all" and dropping
their stroke to 40, the crew proceeded easily,
the Madam brothers pulling with one hand
several lengths, and waving their red caps
in answer to cheers on shore. Notwith
standing the other crews had cleared the
opposite grand stand, the Shoes raised their
stroke to 48, to afford the spectators an ex
hibition of their powers, and passed
the line many lengths ahead, in the usual
time of minutes and seconds. Padding
to their boat house, the Shoes
sprang on the float with agility,
cheerily offering to row the race over again
if necessary. The Columbus were also very
fresh on leaving their boat, and made claim
to be allowed to row again in the final heat,
but this was disallowed by the Stewards on
the ground that the:Shoes' were SO far ahead
they could not have been caught. The Dub
Inns did not deny the FOUL which was allowed
in favor of the Columbia.
The second trial heat for the stewards
cup was won by the London rowing club in
8 minutes and 90 seconds, Jesus college crew

final contest with the Columbus for
the visitors challenge cup, while the London
pair was scratched from the race for silver
goblets, in order that the men might keep
fresh for the race tomorrow with the
Shaes. The time of the Shaes was
eight minutes, four seconds. 1t stood
thus in the stewards time book for two
hours, but after the London rowing
clubs time was announced, the Shaes
time was changed on the book to eight
minutes, twenty-one seconds.
| The event of the day turned out to
be the second heat for the visitors
challenge cup. For this the Univer-
sity college crew OF Oxford
had the inside position, Colu mbia I'd, and
Jesus college crew, of Cambridge, outside
place. The crews got off in fine style, Co.
lumbia in the center, making it best of all,
leading little at a quarter of mile. The
Columbus kept forging ahead, steering a
beautiful course. At the half mile the uni
versity and Jesus boats were about length
behind. This advantage the Columbus con
tinued to increase until at three-fourths
of mile they were seen to sheet
over to the Berks shore. taking
the university water without any
trouble. The steering of Columbia's bow
here was simply beyond praise. At the same
time Jesus college crew made dash at
Columbia, and for a moment foul seemed
inevitable. One of the stewards cried out
