LONDON, June 2l.-The Sportsman TO-.
day says: We are informed that the
Stewards Of the Henly regatta have act.
ed most peculiarly in regard to the dis.
cussion OF the admission OF the Cor
nell University crew. The members
who can claim to know anything about
rowing have carefully refrained from
attending any Of the meetings and the
public are coming 10 the conclusion
that they pu-posely kept away lest they
might be accused. Accountenancing the
courtesy last Friday, when the petit
ton Of the Cornell crew to
enter for the race for the Visitors
cup was under consideration, only six
stewards attended, OF whom two voted
in favor OF the admission. Lord Cam.
erys, recently elected President of the
Henley regatta, whose casting vote
alone admitted the Cornell in the race
for the stewards cup, voted against the
admission of the crew for the race for
the visitors cup. The Sportsman con.
Times as follows: Ii the rowing mem.
bers have really held aloof, their con.
duct is more contemplate than that OF
the stewards. the entire matter 10 q
positive disgrace. Some are ashamed
that English nations should be rendered
liable TO such aspersions as Americans
may very justifably indulge in any al
fair.
