few feet at tho quarter mile and gained
from this point TO the half-mile.
At Fawley Court they were three quar-.
tiers of length in advance. Trinity be.
gan to gain and at the Bushey Gate they
were one-half a length behind. At the mile
| they had closed up the difference to a
| quarter length and at the Isthmian boat
house they were q few feet in the lead and
| still gaining.
Fennell, Coruell's No 3, showed signs
of exhaustion when the boat reached

the boat and the man behind him dropped
his oar and bathed the exhausted man =

Trinity Immediately took advantage of
their mishap to their opponents and drew

the Cornell men were obliged to give up.
They padded to one Of the boat houses.
where they were received with cheers.

The Cornell crew say that they had the
hard side of the river IN the race, today,
