its adoption will be productive of great
and lasting benefits to Virginia. The

Leander Wins the Challenge Cup.

Henley, July 5.-The Lesnder crew

the University Of Pennsylvania by

warm weather drew thousands to the
course. Englishmen state that today's

never before was such interest shown
10 the races. Both crews were In fit
condition. There was plenty OF Ameri-
can money uD, placed generally on
even terms. 10 some cases the Fog.
lishmen required odds. Pennsylvania
got away first. At two lengths
r.m the start they led by q
ward, but the Leander crew made
o squirt and began gradually to pull up,
and, at the half way mark of the course
was in front. Maintaining the same
stroke Lesnder pulled steadily ahead
of the Americans. Foot by foot they
continued to increase their lead and,
Just as the grand stand was reached,
pulled clear, finishing by an even
length ahead. There was great enthu-
sissm over Leander's win. The mem
bers Of tho defeated crew said they had
rowed as fast as they could but IL was
not fast enough. They expressed
themselves as hopeful of winning the
Kilarneyl race. Eoglish rowing ex.
perts are unanimous 10 the opinion
that the American method accounts for
the defeat OF Pennsylvania today. The
English crew with their long stroke,
put their whole weight upon the oar,
the mere force Of gravity assisting them,
while the Americans kept their bodies
rigid and depended entirely upon the
arm and leg muscles. The Americans
agree that the only way to win the
grand challenge cup is to organize an
American duplicate of the Leander
