CORNELL CREW DEFEATED BY
CAMBRIDGE.
The Americans tainted in this
Boat in One, Two, Three Or
der-Insults Freely Offer
ed Them.

HENLEY ON THAMES, July TO-
The anti.Americsn feeling caused
by Cornell going over the course
yesterday when Leander failed TO
get away at the word "go," con-
tinued today and offensive re-
marks were heard on all sides. The
Leanders made no overtures to
Cornell yesterday to race again,
but they began an immediate tor
rent of abuse.
Today the wind was lighter,
from the some direction, and the
Cornell crew had the opposite
Berkshire shore. The weather was
considered against them. AS the
crew Of Trinity hall, Cambridge,
padded into position, in order to
meet the Cornell crew in the fourth
heat OF the trial races for the
grand challenge cup, the English
men met with rousing rece ption.
Trinity hall took the Bucki ngham
shore position.
The word "Go" was given at
IL: 32 p. m. and Cornell fret caught
the water and started with stroke
OF 46 to Trinity's AZ. Cornell was
half length ahead on turning in
to the course, after passing Regatta
Island. Then Cornell, who had
dropped to 80, spurted and in
creased her lead to length, Trini-
ty splashing slightly.
Cornell made the nalf mile In
I'm, 26 sec., but in passing Frawley
Court Cornell went to pieces. Free
born, No. in the Cornell boat,
dropped his oar and put his hands
to his face. The Cornell crew
seemed paralyzed at this.
By the time the Cornell crew
was again atwork Trinity Hall was
a length ahead. The Cornell crew
was so ratified they rowed like
lot of schoolboys, and Hager,
No. 8, in the American boat,
dropped his oar and fell
back into the arms of No. 2,
Shellman. Hsger then resumed
his oar and seemed to try to row,
but no sooner had the crew COM
menced pulling with Trinity. Hall
five lengths ahead than Freeborn
dropped his oar and with one hand
before his eyes seemed to grope
blindly to recover 1t.
By that time Trinity Hall was
seven or eight lengths ahead, row.
ing a long even stroke, passing the
mile post in m. % 8.
FennelPs head fell forward and
he seemed about to faint. He also
dropped his oar and rubbed his
forehead.
Cornell's friends were running
along the bank, frantically encour-
aging the crew. Fennell recovered
and tried to row, but his oar struck
the water fiat. Then again, the
men in the opposite side OF the
boat seemed unable to lift their
oars, and were occupied in try
ing to steady the boat. At
ter passing the mile post, Ha-
ger, for the second time, dropped
his oar, but he recovered himself,
although he seemed ready to faint
again. Dyer, No 6 in Cornell
boat, land roe, bow, oar, who, with
Hall, had been doing the best
work, also showed signs Of ex-
haustion and began splashing
badly. The Trinity Hall crew
were then hopelessly ahead and
the race was virtually over.
Trinity Hall won by eight
lengths, and as the Cornell boat
crossed the finish line Fennell
dropped from his seat in dead
faint. The Britishers were wild
with delight. AS Cornell trailed
along past the grand stand the
men were received with Kisses.
In the third heat race for the
Thames challenge cup, Kingston
beat the French crew Of the Nauti-
cal Sports society, and in the
fourth heat the crew of Molesy
r owing club beat the crew Of Lon
don Rowing club. In the second
heat for the Stewards challenge
cup the crew OF London Rowing
club beat the crew Of New College,
of Oxford. In the fifth heat New
College beat Elton in the race for
the grand challenge cup.
