The following are expressions which
some of the Cornell men made after
F. W. FIeeborn-Tns English are the
g. ?. Dyer-1 think we have nothing to
be ashamed of.
Tom HALL am not sorry We came.
G. A. Louis-It is waste OF time to
The nti.American feeling caused by
Cornell going over the course yesterday
when Leander failed to get away at the
word ego" continued today, AMI Often
sive remarks were heard on all sides.
''They are Just like the Australians"
said one person in the crowded breakfast
room If the Red Lion hotel this morning.
"They don't care how they win.
The Leanders continued to fan the flame
of discomfort. They were TO DC heard IN
all p arts denouncing not the umpire nor
the decision of the board of stewards. who
gave the race to Cornell yesterday, but
they denounced Cornell in spite Of the
fact tnat the American crew simply
obeyed the instructions OF the umpire
to row over the course.
The Leanders made no overtures 10
Cornell yesterday to race again, but they
began an immediate torrent OF abuse.
Andrew White. who has been ldentihed
with the Cornell crew ever since the lat.
ter arrived at Henley, is perfectly well
known to the different crews. 9ester,
day evening he entered a crowded hotel
lobby wearing the Cornell colors. In the
lobby were a group of Leanders excitedly
talking over the unfortunate misunder-
standing of yesterday. Begg, the Lean.
der coxswain, glanced at Mr.. White and
said, evidently for his benefit: Damn
the Americans anyway. IL is JUST wnat
we might have expected.
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 chal-
lenge cup. Tho Thames crew won as
they liked by eight lengths. The Lean
der four were all members OF the Lean
der crew entered for the grand challenge
cup and are among those who have been
SO bitter against the. Americans. The
Thames crew were heartily cheered as
they crossed the line ahead but the Lean
ders were received in silence.
Fennell. it appears, was i'll when he en-
tered the race today, suffering from valv-
ular 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-mlle
post and his oar struck him a tremendous
blow on his left side, the shock seeming
to paralyze his legs. He was able to use
his arms, but could not recover with the
rest. The great exertion he was making
caused him to faint in Freedom arms,
and the terrible struggle the rest of the
crew were obliged TO make did them all
up one after another. Fennell 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 formality Of leaving their
weights they were all looking like death.
About the stand were crowd of Le-
anuer men in their boats. and one of them
said 81 suppose you lost on account OF
the hard race you had yesterday"
Another Leander man jeeringly re-
marked: ''Of course you are coming
again in '96."
The Cornell men made no replies to
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon.
commenting on the defeat of Cornell,
says:
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 tremendous. The Cor
nell men, nevertheless. were in nowise
derided by the enthusiasts. The feeble at
. tempt to cheer them, however, did. not
meet with response
