To a representative of the Associat-

ley won fairly and squarely the eighth
heat ,fer the diamond SOULS and thai
he had no complaint to make. He SAID
he could not get rowing until he had
cleared Temple Island, and that then a
strong wind almost stopped him.
There is no denying the fact said
Titus, that Kelley gradually dropped
me, and when / tried to squirt a strong
wind took everything out of me-"
Titus regrets that he was drawn
against SchoIes the first day of the
races and that he was obliged to row
such flyer as Kelley to-day. He says
he intends to leave his boat in London
