can newspaper men invaded the press
box, taking the best places and instead
of doing their work, If they had any
to do, talked in loud voices to the great
detrfment of the hard working British
ers. The writer urges that in future

comes into their heads, provided that
IL E'dHuCiS " the dnIl-brILlSn Io6nnRS
of the men," The Field then reproduces
an article from New York weekly
paper Of July II, In which the Henley
management was accused of Stacking
the cards" against Cornell in the draw
ing for heats and positions last year.

distributed by reporter for the Field,

before the regatta until the regatta
officials interfered. The Fields article

many vastly rich but little cultured
people in the United States.
