HENLEY, July II, 1S95.-The Cornell
men held a meeting last evening and
resolved, subject to the approval of the
University at Ithaca, to send two crews
to Henley in 1896. The necessary funds
were arranged for A number of the
trustees, professors and other support
ers of the university were present and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. The
EST. James's Gazette" thinks there is a
good deal of unreasonable prejudice
against the Cornell men for their share
in Tuesdays incident, when the Leander
boat was left at the post.
The Westminster Gazette says:-The
horn of the Americans is no longer ex-
alted. The English crowd cannot for
give them. therefore they exult that the
Santabo defeated Cornell. To stick to
the letter of the law is right enough;
but the Americans would have achieved
lasting popularity if instead of sticking
to the letter they had observed the
spirit of the law.
TRINITY WINS AGAIN.
In the final heat for the Grand Chal-
lenge Cup, Trinity Hall had the Bucks
side and the New College boat was
against the Berks shore Trinity struck
out at forty-one stroke and New Col
lege ait forty-twot The latter drew
away and got their canvass ahead of
the Trinity boat at the foot of the
island, but they barely had that advan-
tage at the top of the island At the
quarter mile mark they had regained
their advantage and maintained it past
the Rectory to the half mile. At the
Fawley Court Boat House, which they
reached in 3minutes and Al seconds, the
boats were almost exactly level. Trinity
now began to draw away and at the
three-quarters of mile mark had lead
of few feet which she steadily in
creased. AT Bushby Gate Trinity was a
quarter length ahead, and at the mile
"a little more than that and at the 18TH
nlian clubhouse half length. The New
College men buckled down to their work
and the finish was a terrific one, result
in Trinitys winning by only third of a
length, time. 7:30. 1t was a grand race,
the best of the regatta The Trinity men
showed perfect condition and remarkable
staying power. Both boats pulled the
same stroke and each crew contained
three men who were m the varsity
seats when Cambridge beat oxford last
spring.
Eton College won the final heat for the
Ladies' Plate. beating the St. Johns
Oxford boat easily.
LONDON WINS STEWARDS RACE.
The final heat for the Stewards Chal-
lenge Cup was won by the London Row
ing Club, which beat the Thames Row
ing Club four. The Londoners led a
little to the island. when they went
over to the Thames side of the river.
They did not stay there long, however,
but steered back to their own water
just above the island. At the Rectory
the Londoners' canvas showed trifle
ahead of the Thames boat. Both cox
swains were steering badly, but despite
this the London boat was drawing slow
ly ahead. At the three-quarters of a
mile mark the Thames boat went over
to the London's water in the middle of
the river but the change did not do
the many good AT the mile London
was clear length ahead and won
easily The Thames boat stopped at the
press box. Londons time was 7:45.
The sixth heat of the contest for the
Thames Challenge Cup was won by the
Molesey Rowing Club, which beat the
Kingston Rowing Club.
The seventh heat for the Thames
Challenge Cup was won by the Norous
Boat Club. of the Amsterdam Dutch)
University, beating st. Johns College,
Oxford.
A MEAN INSULT
The "PaIl Mall Gazette commenting
on yesterdays race between Cornell and
Trinity Hall, says
1--WE saw a good race, the rapidity and
uniformity of Cornell's style enabling the
Yankees to hold their own
The Gazette" admits that any stone
has been considered good enough to
throw at Cornell, which the paper does
not think is fair. Proceeding, however,
the Gazette casts this stone:-
sit is not too much to say that such a
dirty looking crew has never competed
at Henley. The color from the large red
''C'' embroidered on the front of their
Jerseys had run many inches. The Ameri-
cans had failed to enter into the spirit
of the regatta which calls upon the com
petitors to array themselves as cleanly
and tidily as possible"
TRINITY COLLEGE WINS.
The final heat for the Silver Goblets
between the Nickalls brothers and Nut
tlebury and Broughton was unsatisfac-
tory and the question of rowing the
heat over again has been raised. Mutt
tlebury and Broughton came into col
lision with boat that was lying too far
out into the stream and were obliged to
stop. After the delayed oarsmen ar
rived at the winning post the judges
telegraphed that the Nsckalls brothers
had "not rowed OUT A notice was also
placed on the umpire's boat stating that
the. race was spoiled by spectators get
