CORNELL WINS.
The Leanders Refuse to Row in the Great
Henley Regatta.

The Leanders Refuse to Row In the Great
Henley Regatta.
LONDON, July lO-Cornell's eight
Dared crew, in whose work at the Hen
ley regatta international interest had
been aroused. had a wallt-over in the
first of its trial heats in tile race for
the Grand Challenge cup yesterday
afternoon the Leander crew, made up Of
oarsmcn of oxford and Cambridge the
present holders of the cup, refusing to
start when the word was given,
though they were at the starting
point i'm their shell. The Cornclls
rowed over the course alone in leisure
ly fashion, making the mile and 500
yards in eight minutes and eleven sec
onds
The excitement was at fever heat
wheu the course was cleared in prepar-
alton for the race between Cornell and
Leander. When the umpire put the
crews into position Cornell was first in
place and Leander slowly padded to
the point assigned to that crew Sew
eral boats followed in the wake of the
crews and the umpire shortly ordered
them away as they seemed to seriously
| interfere with the Leandcr The um-
pire then said: Hurry up, Leander." "
When the Leander crew was in
place the umpire cried: "Are you
ready"
Cornell answered yes" as did a
member of the Leander crew, but the
Leandcr stroke. c. w. Kent, turned
and cried. No. MOI The umpire an
instant before had said 60" Leander
started. half of the crew pulling for
dear life. but the others turned and
shouted, mo, not ready"
The umpire waved his hand TO Cor
nell, which crew had taken the water
promptly when the word was given,
shot ahead and continued over She
course, The umpire's boat at first did
| not follow, and the Leander crew. with
the coXswain +. c. Begg, in great
rage, pulled their boat toward the um-
pire's launch and Begg said; II told
YOU we were not ready"
! To this the umpire made no reply
and his launch steamed ahead after
the Cornell crew, which was now far
down the course. The Leanders. until
the umpires launch passed away out
~ hearing continued to shout WI dly:
1--WE are not ready. Why did you
| serve us so3 nut the umpire did not
look at them and increased the speed
Of his launch.
In the meantime the Cornell crew
pulling steady, even stroke, went on
up the course, at first fast, then in
leisurely fashion, amid cheers from the
Americans and shouts from the English
spectators.
On the grand stand, among the
Americans, the feeling was one OF
great disappointment. An American
said: "Well, | would rather they had
licked US than TO have thing like
phis" However, the universal opinion
among the rowing authorities her,
was that Cornell was perfectly right
in rowing over the course, and thai
they could have done nothing else in
the face of the umDire's order

prosecution and the balance 10y the de
fense A large number were examined
yesterday, but the prosecution had not
rested at the adjournment OF court,
and 1t is probable the case will not be
concluded until tomorrow.
The contention of the government is
that Higgins left the Kickapoo line an
hour or two before 10 o'clock on April
%, 1889, aud entered the oklahoma
country. On the trial OF his contest
he did not deny that he was in the
oklahoma country before IL o'clock,
but claimed he only came in half d
mile or more TO a lake for the purpose
Of watering his horses. and after per-
forming that duty went back to the
line and made the run from the proper
place On this showing the secretary
awarded him the claim over the other
contestants.
Sac witnesses examined were parties
who were at the point from which Mr..
Higgins claimed TO have started, and q
number of them declared that they
saw him in buggy drawn by a span
Of black horses leave the line at from
