signs Of being winded and of losing his
head. He collided with almost every
thing in sight, and was thrice mixed up
with the piles.

station Teneycke's time was minutes
and 16 seconds. He padded home leis-
urely.
In consequence of the widely spread
reports that the elder Teneycke had en-
! deavored to keep the practice heats of
the younger a secret public opinion had
| ben rather cool toward the Massachu-
settS oarsman. In some quarters a very
decided feeling of hostility had been ex-
pressed. Young Teneycke's style does
not the suit the English, and they say
so.
Teneycke and Blusse started even, but
the American promptly poked the nose
o. his boat in front, and about half way
down the course Blusse stopped, COM
pletely rowed out. Teneycke at no time
eXerted himself except for a moment or

are adj for New College.
In the heat rowed to-day the Winni-

forty strokes to the minute, as against
thirty-seven for New College. They
then drew out and got a lead of a
length. The half-mile stake was reach
ed in three minutes and thirty-four
seconds. AT the second Fawley Court
boathouse, New College. in a few
powerful strokes, drove their boat even
with the Winnipegs. At the three
quarters stake, which was reached in
four minutes and twelve seconds. the
Winnipegs were half a length behind,
and from that point, although they
spurted grandly and decreased the
lead of New College to three or four
feet, they could never catch the Ok
