cae-mettes' over-eagerness to get away, but
when the signal was given the London row.
ing club men, who got off well, made for the
Berks shore, getting into still water. the
wind to-day being for the boat on the Berks
side. The Sho-wae- cae- mettes went straight
down the middle, getting the advantage in
the first hundred yards and leading the Lon
don half a length. The latter crew rowed
grandly, without fault, and at Fowley
Court by squirt led the Sho-wae- -mettes
by quarter of length. This challenged
the Sho- wae- cae-mettes. who had been
rowing AZ strokes, and they increased the
number to 49. Both crews approach ed
Poplar Point at terrific rate on almost even
terms. Suddenly the Londons shot ahead a
length in an astonishing manner, and it was
soon seen that something was the matter in
the Sho-wae -mette boat club, but no one
was prepared to see the latter crew stop short
apparently used up. After pausing few
seconds, the Shc-xae-cae-m ettes went slowly
in, Messrs. Nadeau and Durrell pulling the
boat alone, Joseph Nadeau was completely
doubled up. The cause of their defeat was
soon explained. Joseph Nadeau had been
seized with violent attack of diarrhoea early
in the morning, and after the practice pull
his condition became worse but he pluckily
refused to listen to the proposition to with
draw from the race.
AT the conclusion of the heat, the other
three men came in, not at all annoyed by
ther terrible struggle. What there was of
the race was the hardest ever rowed at Hen
| ley. The London's time was eight minutes,
twenty-six seconds. The Shoes. at first ac-
copied their defeat with nonchalence, but
once at their quarters, they fairly cried at
their bitter disappointment. The Shoes.
will probably go to London Tuesday, and
sail on the Utopia for home July 18th.
Geo. w. Lee, of Newark, contemplates
remaining to compete at the Metropolitan
regatta for the SOULS now held by Playford.

NADEAN's SICKNESS.
New YORK, July ga Heraldspecialsa says OF
the defeat of the Sho-wae- cae- mettes: 1t was
at first believed they had given up through
exhaustion, but it seems when in the worst
exciting part of the race the captain of the
Shoes called for a squirt. The men failed tc
) respond lust at that moment, in fact Joseph
Nadean gave out. He was suddenly taken
sick and was unable to make any further
efforts It was afterwards learned Nadea1
l had been sick for some days past. HI
seemed to be all right yesterday, however
and although attacked last night again h
= failed to let his companions know of tn
l fact.
