Br1tlshers were wild with delight
when Trinity passed Cornell at the
three-quarter post, but words failed to
express their degree of enthusiasm

Iney stopped rowing before they
passed the judges, who hoisted the
sign, not rowed OUT The bands

crowd cheered itself hoarse. and poor
Fennell lay as if dead in the bottom OF
the Cornell boat, while his companions
splashed water in his face. He soon
recovered and the crew slowly pad

outside the dressing room enlivened the
proceedings by giving the college veil

Of their lungs In the meantime the
large boat house had become crowded
with Americans and this had a cheer

number Of Englishmen called at the
boat house and expressed themselves
as being sorry that the Americans were
defeated. The following are express
