the diamond SOULS defeated r. J. Hogan,
New Ross boat club, Ireland, winning as
he liked in nine minutes and thirty three
seconds.
Hogan got away first and soon led by
half length. Mcdowell was after him at
full speed, soon caught him, and when
they reached open water began to pass
of losing his head. He collided with al
most everything in sight and was thrice
mixed up with the piles. Mcdowell
slowed up, looked complacently at his
rival and then proceeded towards the
finish very quietly as If he were out row
ing for pleasure. Indeed he allowed
Hogan to overtake him and they were al
most even at the finish.
The sixth trial heat for the diamond
SOULS was won by II. 7. Blackstaffe,
Vesta Rowing club, who beat A. +. G.
Everett, London Rowing club. The win
ner had the Bucks station.
The seventh trial heat for the diamond
SOULS was won by Ten Eyok, Wachussett
Boat club of Massachusetts, (Worcester)
who beat J. j. Blusse of the Dehoop Row
ing club. Ten Eyck's time was nine
minutes and sixteen seconds. He padded
home leisurely.
In consequence of the widespread re-
ports that the elder Ten Eyck had en-
deavored to keep the practice heats of the
younger secret, public opinion has been
oarsman. In some quarters very decided
feeling Of hostility has been expressed.
Young Ten Eyck' style does not suit the
English and they say so.
Ten Eyck and Blusse started even, but
the American poked the nose Of his boat
in front and when it cleared the island,
he was three quarters OF a length ahead,
rowing stroke of IS to the minute. He
reached the quarter mile stake In one
minute and eighteen seconds. and then
had lead Of two lengths.
About half way down the course Blusse
stopped, completely rowed out. Ten Eyck
at no time exerted himself, except for
moment OF SO Immediately after the start.
His form quite surpassed his English
critics.
J. j. Blusse after the race was taken in
a fainting condition to the boat house
where physicians found that he was
suffering from q sunstroke. He is hang
ing between life and death.
The eighth trial heat for the diamond
SOULS was won by B. II. Howell, Trinity
hall, Cambridge, who beat G. McHenry,
Thames Rowing club. The winner had
the Berks station.
Howal1 c0t auav first At the ton of
the island he was leading and he was
quite clear of his opponent at the Rectory
gate, when McHenry rowed to stand
still, Howell winning as he pleased.
This result leaves three Americans and
one Englishman in the semi-ffnals. Nc
Dowell will meet Blackstaffe and Ten
Eyck will meet Howell.
The third trial heat for the Stewards
challenge cup was won by the Leander
club, from the Berks station, beating the
London Rowing club.
The fourth heat for the Stewards
challenge cup was won by New college,
Oxford, who beat the Winnipeg Rowing
club. The winner had the Berks station.
The Winnipegs were an eighth Of a
length ahead at the end of Temple island,
rowing forty strokes to the minute as
against 81 for New. They then drew out
and got lead of length.
The half mile stake was reached in
three minutes and thirty.four seconds.
When beyond Fawley court boat house
New college, in a few powerful strokes,
drove their boat even with the Winnipegs.
At the three-quarter 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 at one time to three or four
feet, they never could catch the Oxonians,
who finished winners by a length, in the
record, time of seven and thirty-three
seconds.
The steering of the Winnipegs was de-
cidedly better than yesterdays and they
were less exhausted than their rivals.
At the finish the Winnipegs proposed
three cheers for New. The boat heartily re-
sponded and the cheer was caught up on
the shore after which the Winnipegs were
loudly cheered in return. The W1nn1pegs
in the most cordial fashion, all the Eng
lish crews going to their quarters, COM
plimenting them upon their plucky be-
havior and praising them for the sports
nanlike way in which they accepted de-
feat.
