at this time. He had expected that the matter
would be delayed somewhat longer. Further
than this he refused to speak. Mr.. Low will re-

THE HENLEY REGATTA.
Mcdowell, of Chicago, Defeats Guinness
i'm Trial Heat.

HENLEY ON THAMES, July 14-Amid
beautiful weather, although a stiff wind
blew at intervals from the Berkshire shore,
the Henley regatta of 1897 began to-day.
The crowd on the banks was not so large
nor as demonstrative as usual, but the cele-
brated stretch of mile and a quarter, just
below Henley bridge, which is the course
of the regatta, was the scene of some adj
mirable racing. From the American point
of view, the principal interest center'ed in
the performances of DIR. w. S. Mcdowell,
Of the Delaware Boat Club, of Chicago, and
the Winnipeg Rowing Club of Canada. DR..
Mcdowell justified the faith of his hackers
by beating Hon. T. A. Guinness in the sec
ond trial heat for the diamond SOULS, and
the Winnipegs spoiled all the predictions
based on their roughness of form by beat
ing one of the crews, the Utrecht Univer-
sity Rowing Club, in the first heat for the
Stewards challenge cup. In the race with
Guinness, DR.. Mcdowell, who he'd the Berks
shore made splendid start, his easy pow
erful stroke sending his boat ahead of his
opponent and giving him al the very outset
an advantage. which he never lost to the
end of the race. Mcdowell steered badly
at the finish but passed the final post d
length ahead. Guinness was cheered from
the banks along the whole course while
very little encouragement was given TO Nc
Dowell. The Chicago oarsman, whose form
is distinctly better than 1t was a year ago,
said, Immediately after the race: II ex-
pected to win, but. naturally, my success
encourages me for the races that are TO
follow.
In the first trial heat for the diamond
souls at the Bucks station j. j. Blusse. OF

dent of the Associated Cycling Clubs, has
called meeting of the joint committee to

of the Commercial Club AT that meeting

is probable that this joint committee will

is now not enough time to organize diff

Yesterday afternoon Harry B. Hanaford,
of Chicago, was in the city and solicited
the contract for getting out the souvenir
programme of the national meet in case
Indianap polls should get 1t. He is confident
this city can have it if an effort is made
to secure it. He says it will bring 10000
people to the city who will spend in rail-
way fare hotel bills and other expenses a
half million dollars. He is a present en-
gagged in publishing the souvenir pro-
gramme for Philadelphia.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 1.-THE tall
enders were in the game for few mo-
ments to-day. They were never dangerous.
1t is not their year to be dangerous. In
the breakaway a saffron error by Reilly,
who muffed pop-up fly, followed by
two-bagger from Connaughton's willow
and contributory negligence by Flynn, who
fumbled a grounder, Melted two runs for
the Blues. Indianapolis got one of them
back on an error by Connaughton and
three-bagger by Mcfarland. The Blues
were blanked in the second inning, while
the Indians scored on two doubles, one
each by Wood and Reilly. Three singles
and a steal gave the Blues brace of runs
in the third, while a base on balls and a
double added two TO the Indians credit
and tied up the score. The fourth was
blank, but in the fifth the visitors ham,
mered out three singles for two runs and
the Blues gave up the game for lost. In
the sixth Bannon opened with a double,
stole third and scored on a single. 1t was
the final run of the game for the home
team. In the seventh, with the bases filled
and two gone, Menefee was sent in to bat
for Gettinger. He struck out base on
balls in the seventh, followed by a two

NEW YORK, July 14-Despite the heavy
storm the second trial for the single raters
to select challenger for the Seawanhaka-
Corinthian cup, now held by the Canadians,
took place this morning. 1t was thought
yesterday that some of the midgets would
be unable to start because OF the injuries
subtained in the heavy gale, but all were
in readiness. The Marys rudder had been
fixed and the Indiana yacht started over
the three-mile course in fine shape. Two
trips around the course, three miles out anu
three in, make twelve-mile run for the
yachts. Great difficulty was experienced
however, due to the heavy sea. Mary ran a
pretty race over the first round with Sher-
man Hoyt's Shark, but crossed the fin
ish line fifth. Cranes Mono, which won
Mondays race, led from the start and won
by eight seconds. The Skate was second
and Shark third. There were no accidents
of a serious nature. The following is the
summary of Mondays race:
