Crew Was Badly Oyertrained.
Henley-on-Thames, July 1O.-The
anti-American feeling caused by Cor
nell going over the course yesterday
when Leander failed to get away al
the word go continued today, and
offensive remarks were heard on all
sides.
They are just like the Australians, -
said one person in the crowded break
fast-room of the Red Lion hoteb this
morning. They don't care how they
win
The Leanders continued to fan the
fame of discomfort. They were to DE
heard on all parts denouncing, not the
umpire nor the decision OF the COM
mittee of stewards, which gave the race
to Cornell yesterday, but they de-
nounced Cornell, IN spite of the fact
that the American crew simply obeyed
the instructions of the umpire 10 row
over the course.
The Leanders made no overtures to
Cornell yesterday to race again. nut
they began an immediate torrent OF
abuse.
Andrew White, who has been identi-
fed with the Cornell crew ever since
the latter arrived at Henley, is pa
fectly well known to the different
damn the Americans"
Yesterday evening he entered
crowded hotel lobby wearing the Cor
nell colors In the lobby was a group
of Leanders excftedly talking over the
unfortunate misunderstanding OF yes
terday. Begg, the Leander cOXswain,
glanced at Mr.. White and then said,
evidently for his benefit:
! Damn the Americans, anyway. 1t
/ is just what we might have expea ted
The only satisfaction of the day was
| the thorough beating which the four
| of the Thames Rowing club gave the
/ four of the Leander Boat club, in the
/ third heat Of the race for the Stewards
challenge cup. The Thames crew won
as they liked. by eight lengths. The
| Leander four were all members of the
Leander crew entered for the grand
challenge cup and are among those
who have been so bitter against the
Americans. The Thames crew We're
heartily cheered as they crossed the
line ahead, but the Leanders were re-
ceived in silence.
EennelI Was III.
Fenner, it appears, was i'll when he
entered the race today, suffering from
valvural affection of the heart which
caused a big lump on his left side.
According to his version. he caught
cramp when the Cornell boat was
passing the half-rnile post and his oar
struck him a tremendous blow on his
left side, the shock seeming to para

arms but could not recover with the
rest. The great eXertiOn he was MAX

arms and the terrible struggle the rest
of the crew were obliged to make did
them all up one after another. Fennel
tried again and again to do his part,
but he tainted three times. As the
Cornell crew pulled to the judges
stand, in order to go through the for
mality of leaving their weights, they
were all looking like death.
The GentIemanIy English.
About the stand was a crowd of
Leander men in their boats and one Of
them said:
Il suppose you lost on account of the
hard race you had yesterday"
Another Leander man jeeringly re-
marked: of course you're coming
again in go
The Cornell men made no reply to
these sneers.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
commenting on the defeat of Cornell
says:
There never was such a popular vic
tory in the history of the regatta.
Trinity rowed beautifully together in
true varsity style and gradually wore
the Yankees down. The shouting for
Trinity, as the crew finished, was ire
mendous. The Cornell men. neverthe-
less, were in no wise derided by the
enthusiasts. The feeble attempt to
cheer them, however, did not meet
with response"
The Day Was Hot.
The day opened hot and clear with
the wind lighter than yesterday, |
though still blowing from the Bucks |
Berkshire shore the weather was con-
sidered slightly against them.
The Cornell crew rose early, were all |

did not go to the boat house before
the race, but remained in their quar-

their boat, shortly after u o'clock |

crowd was much lighter

Cornell first caught water and started |
with stroke of 46 to Trinitys AZ |
Cornell was half length ahead on |
turning into the course after passing |
Regatta Island. Then Cornell runners
began TO encourage the American crew.
Under this stimulus Cornell's crew, who |
had dropped TO SO, spurted inceasing |
the lead to one length. Trinity was |
splashing slightly.
