THE CREW WORN OUT.

Anti-American feeling caused by Cornell
going over the course yesterday, when
Leander failed to get away at the word
'1go,' continued today, and offensive re-
marks ars TO be heard on all sides
They are Just like the Australians"
said one person in the crowded break
fast room of the Red Lion hotel this
morning, ~They don't care how they
win" The Leanders continued to fan
the flames of discomfort. They were to
be heard IN all parts de0ouncing not the
umpire, or the decision of the committee
of stewards which gave the race to Cor
nell yesterday, but they denounced Cor
nell IN spite of the fact that the Ameri-
can crew simply obeyed the instrUc-
tions Of the umpire TO row over the
course.
The Lenders made no Overtures to
Cornell yesterday to race again, but they
began an Immediate torrent of abuse.
Andrew White, who has been identified
with the Cornell crew ever since the lat
ter arrived at Henley Is perfectly well
known to the different crews. Yesterday
evening he entered j crowded hotel lob

LOBBY was group of Leanders exciEedIy
talking over the unfortunate misunder-
standing of yesterday Begg, the cox
swain. glanced at Mr.. White aud then
said, evidently for his benefit, g. the
Americans, any way; it Is Just what we
might have expected"
All the members of the Cornell crew
were naturally very Indignant at the
manner in which the Lesnders had been
speaking against them aud they re-
marked: at now rests with Us 10 win
today, aud show the Britishers that we
do not depend on the bungIes of any
crew TO win"
The scenes of yesterday were repeated
along the course today, although the
crowd was much lighter. As the crew
of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, padded into
position IN order to meet Cornell IN the
fourth heat OF the trial races for the
grand chalIeC ge cup, the E1glismen met
with a rousIng reception
Trinity Hall was first caught at the
starting point and took the Bucks posi-
ton. Cornell was slow in taking up her
position on the Berkshire side. The
word ..go" was given at 1882 ?. n, and

with stroke of 46 to Trinity's A. Cor
nell was half length ahead on turning
into the course after passing Regatta ISL
and Then the Cornell runners began to
encourage the American crew aud under
this stimulus Cornell, who had dropped
TO 50, spurted and increased her LEAD to
a length. Trinity was then splashing
slightly.

The shouts Of encouragement of

could be distinctly heard above the din

bank. franticaIIy endeavoring to encour-
age the crew.
Fenneu recovered and tried to row,
but his car struck the water fat although
it was some time in the proper position.
Then again the men on the opposite side
of the boat seemed unable to lift theiI
oars, aud were occupied in trying &c

frantic with delight at CornelFs unfor
