U. OF WILL MEET LEANDER
(Continued from First Page.)

:. strokes in the first quarter, twenty V Two in the first half, and forty-one dur { fng the first minute. The Americans ; awent steadily and easily from that 1 point and dropped their stroke to 3S. | lThey did half the distance in 3:3o, Their opponents did the half in SAP. Opposite the Leander enclosure the | Pennsylvanians were three lengths
 ahead and although they again eased considerably and the others spurted the Thames men were never able to
 make up anything.
 Passing the grand stand the Ameri-
 cans could not resist a little squirt and
 they rowed past with dozen strokes
 at the rate of fl to the minutes
 The Americans had very friendly re-
 ception, and a number of their coun-
 trymen succeeded in giving them a
 very respectable college yell, The
 band played "The Belle of New York"
 Ellis Ward, the American coach, who
 was in the umpire's launch, expressed
 himself as being thoroughly satisfied and confident. He said: T told them
 they must not make that spurt at the
 end, but, suppose they were so excit- ed and pleased that they could not re- N sist it.''
 l The Leander Belgian race was a Mard one, but not so severe as expect Hd. The Leanders got away with sur Missing rapidity at the rate of 49, and %9cured a bare lengths lead at the top o4 the Island. The Belgians soon struck &t rapid gait and began to come up, Abut they could not catch the Leanders. lOff Fawley Court, which they did in S:24 the Leanders were again clear. a pff Grosvenor club, the Belgians spurt- ed and got up nearly level. A splendid race home followed the Leanders win ming by a bare length.
 The Leanders finished very strong a and in the opinion of experts they could have made much better time. On one point they all agreed and that was that to-morrow's meeting between the Leanders and the Americans will be desperate race. The Leanders have greatly improved. They now pull well together and to-day's. race will be them further good.
 There was some criticism yesterday { because, after the finish, the Ameri- | cans rowed straight to their boat house and did not wait, as is custom ary, and rattle their oars in the row locks as a compliment to their oppo- nents. To-day the Americans made 8 ample amends. The moment the < Thames crew crossed the line the Pennsylvania crew gave them a lusty \ college cheer and then, padding home, Ahoused their boat and stood on the raft Hnd again cheered the Thames crew as the latter housed their boat at the Eame place. The cheering was over AheaId on the Henley bridge and the crowd which witnessed the scene began cheering the Pennsylvanians.
 Ellis Ward and Graduate Manager Hart are both delighted with the easy race which Ward said was only pad < ding. "But,' he added, 'it gets us against Leander, and now we will do the best we can to make tomorrow another Fourth of July"
