BOAT RACING ON THE THAMES
Remarkable Breaking Down of the
Cornell Crew on the Course
To-day.
Foul Play Strongly Suspected-Cir-
cumstances that Require Prompt
Explanations = Americans
Shamefully Insulted.

Henley on Thames, July 10.-The anti
American feeling, caused by Cornell 60
ing over the course yesterday when Lean
der failed to get away at the word 60"
continued to-day and offensive remarks
are heard on all sides. The Leanders
made no overtures to the Cornells to race
again, but began an immediate torrent of
abuse. Begg, the Leander coxswain, said !:
"Damn the Americans, anyway; it is just
what we might have expected"
AS the crew of Trinity Hall, Cambridge,
padded into position to meet Cornell in
the fourth heat of the trial races for the
grand challenge cup,th Englishmen were
met with a rousing reception. Cornell
was slow taking up a position on the
Berkshire side. The word SEQ" was given
at 1882 p. M, and Cornell first caught
water and started with stroke of forty
six to Trinity's forty-two. Cornell was
half length ahead on turning into the
course after passing Regatta island. Trim
ity was then splashing slightly. Cornell
made the half mile in two minutes and TWEEN
ty six seconds, but, in passing Frawley,
Courl Freeborn, No. in the Cornell boat,
dropped his oar and put his hands to his
face. The Cornell crew seem paralyzed.
By the time the Cornell crew were again
at work Trinity Hall was length ahead.
CORNELL GREW RATIFIED.
The Cornell crew were so ratified that
they rowed like a lot of school boys, and
Hager, No. 8, in the American boat,
dropped his oar and fell back into the
arms of Spellman. The latter instantly
relieved him, as Hager did not recover
himself. Colson, the coxswain, called
QUO sharply, "What are you about g."
Hager then resumed his oar and
seemed to try to row, but no sooner
had the crew recommended pulling, with
the Trinity hall five lengths ahead, than
Freeborn dropped his oar and with one
hand before his eyes seemed to groupe
blindly to recover it. By this time
Trinity Hall was seven or eight lengths
ahead, rowing with long even stroke
and could plainly be seen laughing,
passing the mile post in five minutes and
twenty-five seconds. Fennels head fell
forward and he seemed about to faint.
He dropped his oar and rubbed his fore
head. The shouts of encouragement of
little Colson, the Cornell coxswain, could
be easily heard above the din of the
cheering from the shore where the Cor
nell men were running along the bank,
frantically endeavoring to encourage the
crew. Fennell recovered and tried to
row, but his oar struck the water fiat,
although it was sometimes in proper
position.

Chatting dishes figure on the handy list
of articles for house kee ping, light or
otherwise. AS a matter of fact they are
80 wonderfully convenient, that those
who have once used them will never be
without them. With the all but indis-
pensable chafing dish, you can warm or
cook anything like soup. or a steak, or
eggs in an instant, and the consequent
saving of time and trouble is enormous.
The cost of the article is nothing by COM
parison. 1t always pays to save, and the
chatting dish is pre-eminently the saving
article for housekeepers. Ours are the
bestat SO and up.

THE MERCILESS FLAM ES.
Five Lives Lost by Burning Of u de-
trOit Livery Stnble-W isc0Dsin
Village burning.

Detroit, July 1O.-At 2 O'Clock this
morning fire was discovered in the
livery stables of e. F. Case, at Al West
Congress street, four story brick build
ing. On the fourth floor were sleeping
accommodations for twenty-five men.
How many of the beds were occupied
last night is not definitely known, but
five horribly burned bodies are now at
the morgue and one other person is miss
ing. There were many narrow escapes
and heroic rescues by firemen and police.
The following are the victims: John
Shaw, driver, 35 years old; John Bowman,
second cook, 20; Thos. Webb, painter, 55;
Edward Hughes, hostler, 2S; James r.
Shaw, harness man, 81; Charles Davis,
barn man, missing.
There we're eighty horses stabbed in the
basement, all of which were gotten out
with the exception of 9. A. Graves Ethel
G., valued at $1,000, and one of less value
James Cummings, aged IS, stable man,
reached window in the top story, but
was overcome by the smoke and fell to
the street and was badly injured. The
total loss is 100000.

LOOKED THE PICTURE OF DESPAIR.

Then again the men on the opposite
side of the boat seemed unable to lift their
oars and were occupied trying to steady
the boat. Hall, rowing steadily, looked
the picture of despair. Nevertheless he
kept at work and almost alone seemed to
pull the boat. After passing the mile
post, Hager, for second time, dropped
his oar, but recovered himself, although
he seemed ready to faint again. Dyer,
No. in the Cornell boat, and Rowe, the
bow oar, who with Hall had been doing
the best work, also began to show signs
of exhaustion and splashed badly. The
Trinity hall crew was then hopelessly
ahead and the race virtually over. The
crowds on tho river banks and in the
boats along the shore we're frantic with
delight at Cornell's unfortunate situation.
The Cornell men continued to run along
the shore, shouting all kinds of encour-
agement to the demoralized crew.
The Cornell men in the boat, however,
seemed more fit to be in coff3ns than in a
boat race. The American spectators
ashore and afloat we're heart-broken at
the collapse of the Cornell crew. The
grand stand was filled with brightly
dressed American girls, many of whom
were crying. Trinity Hall won the race
easily by eight lengths, and, as the Cor
nell boat crossed the finish line, Fennell
tumbled from his seat in a dead faint.
The Cornell men were received with
Kisses. They stopped rowing before
they passed the judges, who hoisted
signal, "Not rowed out"
