Ia preparation for the most important
event Of the day, the race between Cor
nell and Leander 10 the third Of the
first series OF trial heats forthe Crane,
Challenge Cup.
CORNELL FIRST IN PLACE.
When the umpire put the crews in
position. Cornell was first III place and
Lcander slowly padded to tho point
assigned 10 that crew. Several boats
followed In the wake OF the TWO crews
and tho umpire sharply ordered them
away, as they seemed to seriously Inter-
fere with the Lsanders. The umpire
then said; "Hurry up Leauder.'
"REApY" Is CORNELL.
When the Leandcr crew WAS in place,
the umpire cried: "Aro you ready ?"
Cornell replied Eyes"
LEAEDEH UNDECIDED.
A member OF the Leander crew said
first: "Ycs," and then the Letnder
stroke, .: W. Kent, turned and cried,
mp, no."
The umpire an instant before had
said GO
Leander 81 the word started, half of
the crew pulling for dear life, but the
others turned and shouted;
Y ''No, NOT READY"
The umpire waved bis hand 10 Cor.
nell, which crow had taken the water
promptly whom the word was given,
shot ahead and continued otcr the
course.
uMPfRE's boat FOLLOWS coINELL,
The umpire's boat at first did not
follow and the Leauder, with the
coxswaln, r. 9. Begg, in terrible rage,
pulled their boat towards the umpire's
launch and Begg said, II told you
we were not ready" To this the
umpire made no reply. aud his launch
stNamed ahead after tho Cornell crew,
which was now far down the course.
''wny pfD rou SERVE ID ao2'' Fs
Tho Leanders, until the nmpire's
launch passed away out Of speaking
Distance, continued to shout wildly,
"Wc are not ready. Why did you
serve US so ?" e- ps
But the umpire did not lobk at them
and increased the speed OF Hls launch.
CORNELL KEEPS STEADILY ON.
In the meantime the Qrncll crew
pulling steady, even slpke, seemed
satisfied that they were inIthe right In
continuing the race. Passing the end of
Regatta Island, r. B. Colsbn, the Cor
nell coxswain, half turned and held up
his hands toward the unpire's launch.
But the umpire waved Ithsm on and
Cclson, with satisfied lolk, quickly re-
surned his position and gave sharp
order 10 the crew who hd relaxed the
tremendous pace with thich they had
slsriod.
CORNELL WAS RIeHT.
On the grand siaid, among tho
Americans, the feeling vas one OF great
| disappointment, One American said
l"Well. / would rather they bad licked
Va than to have the thing like this.n
However, the universal opinion among
the ruwing au,horitie here was that
Cornell was perfectly right in rowing
over the course and that they could
have done nothing elsl In the face OF
the unlplre's order
The Leander crew will probably pro-
test
''THE RACE Is {oBEELt's."
Every few feet Of the way 70 the
| finish line the excibment increased,
until, nearing the hiish, the suspense
was something tremendous. The uni.
| pire steamed up to the press stand
amidst great excitement and loud ex-
clamatlons from all sides, but be was
| not Ia any way dismayed. He said F:
"rho race Is corhell's. Leander did
not start
The Cornell crew got very good re-
ception as they passed the winning post
| In great style; but there was some boo
hoolng mingled with the English cheers
and Cornell yells.
"wISNRRs, JUST THE SAME"
The Cornell men got out Of thoir boat
| without displaying the least satisfaction
or enthusiasm, with the solitary excep-
ton OF little Colson, who remarked {,
awe are winners, but there was no race.
The other fellows made only four strokes
and stopped. 1t was entirely their fault
for the referee said go, and you bet we
chaps went. But when we saw our OPP
ponents we're making no efforts we
slowed up, as there was no sense in tir-
Ing ourselves. can't imagine what was
the matter with the other chaps unless II
was that they were afraid OF us. But
We were winners, just the same"
