CORNELL DONE FOR
The Race With the Trinity
Hall Crew Proved
Disastrous.
ITHACA MEN IN PlTlABLE PLIGHT
All They Could Do to Get Back

tainted.

The nti.American feeling caused by
Cornell going over the course when
the Leander failed to get away at the
word "go," continued on the second
day, and offensive remarks are to be
heard on all sids.
"They are just like the Austrians,
said one person in the breakfast room
Of the Red Lion hotel, they don't care
how they VIM
The Leanders continued to fan the
flame of discomfort. They were to be
beard in all parts denouncing not the
pmpire or the decision of the commit
tee of stewards which gave the race to
Cornell, but they denounced Cornell In
spite OF the fact that the American
crew simply obeyed the umpire to row
over the course.
The Laanders made no Overtures to
Cornell to race again, bat they began
an immediate torrent OF abuse. An
drew White, who has been identified
with the Cornell crew ever since the
latter arrived at Henley, is perfectly
well known to the different crews. he
entered crowded hotel lobby wearing
the Cornell colors. In the lobby were
q group of Leanders excitedly talking
over the unfortunate misunderstanding
Begg, the Leander coxswain glanced at
Mr.. White and then said, evidently for
his benefit:
Damn the Americans anyway 1t
is lust what we might have expected"
All the members of the Cornell crew
are naturally very indignant at the
manner in which the Leanders had
been speaking against them and they
remarked:
1T now rests with us to win today
and show the Britishers that we do not
depend on the bungles of any crew to,
win
The day opened hot and clear with
the wind lighter than yesterday though
still blowing from the shores and as the
Cornell crew upon this occasion had
the opposite Berkshire shore. the
weather was considered slightly
against them.
The word .'go'' was given at 1882 p.
m, and Cornell first caught the water
and started with a stroke of 46 to Trim
ity's AZ. Cornell was half a length
ahead on turning into the course after
passing Regatta island. Then the
Cornell runners began to encourage
their American crew and under this
stimulus Cornell, who had dropped to
3S, spurted and increased her lead to a
length.
Cornell made the half mile in min,
26 sec. but passing Frawley Court
Cornell went all to pieces.
Several of the crew seemed ready to
faint and some of them We're evidently
More Fit to lie in Their Cofins
than in a boat race The Americans
ashore and afioat were heartbroken at
the collapse of the Cornell crew. The
grandstand was filed with brightly
dressed American girls and many were
crying at the finish.
Trinity Hall won the race easily by
eight lengths and as the Cornell boat
crossed the finish line Fennell tumbled
from his seat in a dead faint.
The Britishers We're wild with de.
light when Trinity passed Cornell at
the hree-quarters post, but words fail
to express their degree OF enthusiasm
when Trinity Hall won and Cornell
trailed along past the grand stand.
Then the Cornell men We're received
with Kisses. They stopped rowing be-
fore they passed the judges who
ho.sted the sign mot rowed out"
Beat the Leanders.
In the third heat for the stewards

made by {. Leander crew, and the cup

Oxford crew beat the eight of the
Anglian Boat club.
