 Henley, July 9.-C. S. Titus of the Union Boat club and the Argonaut Rowing club of Toronto. the only Amer jeans left in the regatta on this, the sec ond day of the racing, were beaten, the former for the diamond sculls and the latter for the grand challenge cup.
 In spite of dull, threatening morn- ing exceptionally large crowds assem- bled to-day to witness the second days racing of the Henley regatta. Interest in the meeting over the possibilities of the diamond souls crossing the Atlantic was great, and the Argonauts of Can ada were thought to have chance to win the grand challenge cup, so Ameri- cans and Canadians were present to cheer on their representatives. The Ca nadians were doomed to disappointment for their crew were beaten by the third Trinity crew of Cambridge in the morn ing, and in the afternoon Titus was beaten by Kelley, the Oxford crack. The wind was sufficiently strong in the fore noon to churn the water. It blew di- rectly off the Bucks shore, giving the boats on that station great advantage, some experts declaring that the position was worth full length.
 The racing, like that of yesterday, be- gan at 12:30 p. m. The first contest was the fourth heat for the grand challenge cup. Although the London Rowing club had the advantage of the Bucks station and rowed in excellent form, Leander led all the way, London's spurt toward the finish proving fruitless. The time was very fast, considering the wind, and again the reserve power of the Leand- CTS was not tested, as the crew won comfortably by length in seven min utes twenty-eight seconds. The half mile time was two minutes thirty-one seconds. This opened the way for the Canadian crew, the Argonauts of To- ronto, who were thought likely to be the men to get into the finals to drive Leander out to the fullest extent. In the Cambridge boat were such crack oarsmen as c. J. D. Goldie, J. Edwards Moss and W. Dudley Ward.
 The race was close and exciting to Fawley Court. The Argonauts led to that point (half the distance), when Third Trinity caught up, took command and finished in the splendid time of minutes Il seconds. The Canadians, even when they were passed, hung on in the most spirited fashion, and spurted time after time. But they were handi- capped by being on the Berks side, and were beaten a length and quarter. The time for the half mile was minutes 27 seconds Fawley Court was passed in 3 minutes 21 seconds, and Third Trim ity forged quarter of length to the front, rowing grandly. The collegians drew away gradually, amid the greatest excitement, The losers were loudly cheered at the finish.
 For the succeeding race, the eighth heat for the diamond souls. c. s. Titus of the Union Boat club, New York, was a hot favorite, but he was rowed to standstill to the surprise of every one He was handicapped by the superior weight of his opponent, F. s. Kelley, Balliol college, Oxford, who had twenty one pounds advantage. The Oxonion led away from the start and was three lengths ahead at Fawley court. He maintained his distance and padded home an easy victor. Kelley started With cuLLlng uOWH tdclcS. I1e put III thirty weight strokes in the first minute to the Americans thirty-five. The wis., dom of the manoeuvre was clearly evil dent. The Oxonion went to the front forthwith and gained a quarter of a length in the first quarter of mile. At the half mile he was half length to the good. Kelleys time at Fawley Court was minutes seconds. He had then tackled on over couple more lengths and Titus fate was apparent, as he was completely outrowed. The wind dropped and rain recommended falling just before the race, so the stations were less unequal than earlier in the day. The time was 8 minutes 39 sece- Or1dS
