the spectators as the logical sequel of the Cor

indignation among English oarsmen 1t enabled
them to assert with confidence that chivalry and
magnanimity were not lacking among English
contestants for the honors OF the Henley regatta
and that fair play was jewel more precious than
the winning of a race.

references both to the numerous contests OF the
regatta and TO the controversies which were
excited by the unfortunate blunder of the UNI
pire in sending off the Cornell crew when the
Leander crew were not ready to start. 1t may
not be too late, however. to explain why there
was something like positive unfriendliness in
the feeling of the throngs on the river toward
the American oarsmen. who were not response
bic for the fiasco, and whose only error Of tudg-
ment was lack Of perception Of an opportunity
for winning a reputation for sportsmanlike
conduct which would have been worth more
than lead at the finish over the picked oars
men Of two universities.
CAUSES OF UNFRIENDLY FEELING
The heat betweeh Leander and Cornell had
been anticipated as the great event Of the day.
One cre7s padded over the course alone. Only
those at the island knew why the rival crew had
not started Thousands Of spectators on either
side Of the river were dazed and bewildered.
Interest in the remaining races lapsed, because

and exasperating fasco. When the facts were
disclosed everybody irritated and impa-
tent. The pleasure of the afternoon had been
marred, If not spoiled altogether. by the UNI
pres hlunder and the neglect OF the American
oarsmen to take advantage Of conspicuous op-
porunty for the display Of magnanimity. The
Leander men were furious. and the spectators
sympathized with them. They had been train
ing week after week for the regatta. and were
the favorites on the river. BY an accident they
had been thrown out Of the regatta altogether.
While the umpire had Numbered, 1t was within
the power OF the Cornell men to rectify the
mistake and to refuse to profit by f1uke. The
great assemblage went wild with enthusiasm on
the morrow. when Trinity Hall OUTRAGED them.

lsh and contrary to all accepted ideas Of the art
Of rowing II II had been the winning stroke In
the final heats. the English system Of rowing
would have been discredited. A Yale crew rowing
with full, long stroke and bringing legs and bod
les as well as lungs and arms into play would
have had very different reception on the
Thames. An English regatta crowd is not inhos-
pitable to foreign competitors There were no
signs Of unfriendliness displayed when the
Dutch crew won the Thames Challenge Cup. for
they were rowing in the English style. The
Thames enthusiasts can take beating gracefully
when their own methods Of rowing are pitted
against them.
