HENLEY-oN-T THAMES,
July 5, 1878.
The secopd day Of the regatta being that
on which the final heats are rowed the in
terest naturally rises to excitement point
and tho crowd attracted is Of course much
greater. Again we were favored with de-
ightful weather. There was fresh breeze,
which made existence very comfortable to
those on the banks of the Thames, but which
cut out some smart work for the oarsmen.
IN HIGH FEATHER.
The Americans here were in high feather

bias gallant work and great triumph over
the English oars on their own water.
LONDON PAPERS AsroNIsHED.
There was great curiosity here this morn
ing to know what the London papers had
said Of yesterdays contest. Consequently
avery one was seen with two or three papers
1t the breakfast tables in the hotels. Yes
terday's work may be set down as q sur
prise to the metropolitan press generally.
They are astonished at the success of the
American crews yesterday. What with the
defeat of Pennell by the American. Bo-

bias and Shoe-wae-cae-mette yesterday,
England must look out for her old prestige
in her most national sports. The Daily Ne,os
and Standard are still snobbishly harping
about gentlemen rowing gentlemen anna
teurs.
THE COLUMBIA FOUL.
The Sportsman declares yesterdays foul
to be the fault of the Dublin crew. The
Columbias assert that the Shoe-waes pro-
tested against their being allowed to take
part in the final heat This seems scarcely
credible, but it is strongly asserted.
DUBLIN WARNED.
1t appears that the referee warned Dub
lin three times, and on thrce different oc-
casions their oars struck. Then came the
foul itself. The Columbias during the
race, it may be said. had the disadvantage
Of having to contend with the wind that
blew from the Bucks shore, which gave the
crews rowing under that shore great adj
vantage Columbia, on the Berks shore,
was exposed to its full force. The Dublin
crew and the Shoe-waes stuck close to the
Bucks bank. The lead of these two crews
was partly due to this fact. Still the Shoes,
by the extraordinary rapidity of their
stroke of forty-eight, we'll kept up, won the
race fairly and squarely
LEE, OF NEwARK's, DEFEAT
The defeat of George W. Lee, the New
Jersey oarsman, is still mystery. He
declares that he was Watching Moss, wishing
to beat him as little as possible; that he had
been told certain old tree stump was the
winning post Certain it is that the Co
lumbia men were under the same impression
during their practice, and habitually
finished at that point. When Lee passed
the stump he was half boats length ahead

This afternoon Mr.. Edwardes-Moss. Of
Oxford, as was expected, won the final heat
for the Diamond Challenge SOULS, for which
he contested with Lee yesterday. have
just seen the latter, and he assures me that
he mistook the stump for the post, having
sased off thirty yards previously, feeling
secure of victory. 1t is universally conceded
chat he had won the race. He is to row for the
amateur championship on tho 18th or 18th,
from Putney to Mortlake, against Playford,
of the London Rowing Club, who is the
present champion, and Edward es-M Moss, his
antagonist of yesterday. He is full Of
pluck.
