CALL CORNELL DIRTY

About COrnell's Crew.
Find Fault With Appearance of
Their Jerseys.
TO RETURN IN 1896.
Cornell Will Take Two Crews
Over Next Year.
Grand Challenge Cup Won by
New College, Oxford.

HENLEY ON THAMES, July lin the
final heat for the grand challenge cup
the Trinity Hall Cam bridge Rowing club
crew, which defeated Cornell yesterday,
beat the New College Oxford Boat club
crew and thus captured the trophy rep
resenting the blue ribbon of aquatics.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon commenting on the
Cornell crew says: The Americans
failed to enter into the spirit of
the Henley regatta, which calls
upon competitors as we'll as visi-
tors to dress clearly and tidily as pos
sible. The Varsity and other English
crews make point of rowing in new
jerseys with colors unstained by rain or
Precipitation. It is not TOO much to say
that such dirty looking crew as Cornell
never competed in the regatta within the
memory of most of its frequenters.
"They wore large red SO" en-
broidered on the front of their ier-
seys and in every case the color
of this letter had run several
inches. We hope that they will get a
turnout if they row in the coming metro
pOlitan regatta"
The Globe this afternoon remarks: sit
is much to be regretted that the visit of
good fellowship between English
and American athletes, has struck
only jarring note in the otherwise har-
monious rivalry of nations at Henley.
We cannot help thinking that the Ameri-
can oarsmen have been somewhat harsh
ly judged for standing upon their rights.
At any rate it would have been more
gracious to abstain from hostile COM
ments in view of the decision of the COM
mittee."
The ST. James Gazette expresses the
opinion that ''there is good deal of un-
reasonable prejudice against Cornell,
and if they had won the Grand there
might have been unpleasantness. The
best possible thing which could occur
was that Cornell should be fairly beaten
by Trinity. After all, the most impor-
tant thing was that our American cousins
should have fair race with an English
crew."
The trustees of Cornell university, who
are now here have decided to bring two
crews to Henley in 1896. Secretary
Cooper of the regatta committee heartily
approves of the position and offers the
Cornell men every inducement and facil
ity. He asserts that this will be the best
answer to the criticism passed upon the
conduct of the Cornell crew now at Hen

The clerks in the office of Superinten-
dent of instruction Stanley have just
completed the report of bond purchases
that the new board has made from Jan
uary IA to July 1, and it appears to re-
feet credit on its sagacity.
The amount of bonds purchased was
$500, 400 The assessed valuation of the
property on which these bonds were is
sued is $29, 1888, 788 The limit allowed
at an average of about per cent is
81, 461, TIA The total indie btedness against
this property is 81, 103, 104.
1t will be seen by these figures that
the amount of the purchases is but per
cent of the valuation; the total indebted
ness is less than 4 per cent of the valua-
ton and less than half of the limit al
lowed.
The board is proud of these purchases.
