Houseboats Impress Americans.

Probably it is the houseboats that
most impress American visitors. They
are bijou villas afioat, painted in all
colors, crowned with flower gardens and
bedecked with banners and streamers
and within furnished in the most Juxurl-
Gus and picturesque style that English
taste can devise. In some OF them
luncheon Is served by liveried hunkIes
to the music of mandolins and guitars
The cost of running housepoat
varies according to its size ana posi-
ton on the course. One may nave 10
nay anything from $3.50 to $1,000 for the
bare rent of one for a week. for they
cant be hired merely for the three days
that the racing continues What with
food, servants. decorations. music, and
everything else that is included in that

der pretty hats caught more than a
passing glimpse of the race, but that
does not matter. To them and most OF
the SWANS who accompany them the
racing is one Of the minor attractions OF
Henley.

passed the river again becomes over

laughing, chatting occupants Singers
and players. many of them masked, re-

bows are heaped with baskets of straw

solves itself again into the brilliant
aquatic pageant that has been tempor-

lege gravely proposing that In future
foreigners should be barred from COM

ia winning the cup in this sixty-seventh
Henley regatta that suggestion will
probably be revived, but there is little
likelihood that such a course viii be
adopted.
Besides the race for the Grand
there are two other Henley contests for
eight oars: three for four oars: one for
pair oars, and the race for the famous
diamond challenge sculls which have
thrice been captured by transatlantic
oarsmen; Ten Eyck, of Worcester, win
ming it in 1887; Howell. of Albany, the
year following, and SchoIes, of the To-
ronto Rowing Club, last year. Because
of the narrowness of the course, only
two boats can compete at the same time.
Consequently all the events have to be
decided by heats, and the racing is thus
spread over three days.

r INTEREST in the Henley Regatta,
which opens on July 3, is espe-
cially keen thr< sear owing chiefly
10 the presence of the American
eight III the race for the Grand Chai-
lenge Cup. Besides the Vespers, of
Philadelphia, two other foreign clubs
will be represented in the struggle for
this most coveted of rowing trophies
the Club Nautique du Grand of Bel
GUM and the Berliner Ruder Club, OF
Germany-but though their inclusion in
tensifEes the International aspect of the
competition, it is the prospect of a
contest with Americans that most pow
erfuliy stirs the Englishman's sporting
blood 1t is just because John Bull
has far stronger liking for Uncle
Sam than for any other member of the
family of nations that he finds heap
more satisfaction in beating him at
any game than he gets out of beating
any of the other fellows, and on the
other hand he hates far worse to be
yanquished by him.

acy, so do English folk esteem the

the emblem OF amateur rowing suprem-
acy in ejgI,t-oared shells. Intrinsieally
il is not worth much. 1t is one of the
TWO cups which were competed for when
the Henley Regatta was founded in
1859 without any expectation Oh the part
of it's promoters that 1t would develop
into a national institution. 1t is the

of the clubs than won ii up to 1885, and
the names of their captains and secre-
taries. Since then the cup itself has
been untouched by the engrayer- In
deed there was no more vacant space
for names left upon it, and IN 1886. the
stewards of the regatta added a silver
base on which the names of the win
ming crews have since been Inscribed.
