HENLEY ON THAMES. England
July 8.-This tiny Oxfordshire town

final day of the Tooth Royal Henley

to reach approximately 10000. most
of them interested in seeing if
America, represented by Sculler Joe
Burk. Harvard's varsity crew and
the rival eights from Tabor Acad-
emy and Kent School, could take
three of the most important
trophies.
Not only old school ties. but COM
Elementary socks, caps and blazers
of delicate shades of blue and pink
constituted the uniform of the day.
Townsfolk Collect.
The townsfolk, of course, haven't
forgotten for minute that the
original purpose of this regatta was
to make money. It's their one an
nual chance and they make the
most of it. 1t cost you a dollar and
a quarter, for instance, to park your
car at the entrance to the regatta
course. Other prices were corre-
spondingly high. So the town
should come out with it's customary
take of 100000 in addition to
$50,0O0 average gross at the gate.
The wind blew again yesterday
and it was cloudy and bright by
intervals. That didn't help the
racing nor did it hamper the Amer
leans.
U. S. Entries Favored.
All the visitors from the United
States did was send Burk into the
final of the Diamond Sculls in de-
fense of the trophy he won last
year, Harvard into the final for the
Grand Challenge Cup and the two
schoolboy crews into the semi finals
OF the Thames Cup event.
Today Burk was favored over R,
Verey OF Poland and Harvard was
expected to beat the Toronto Ar
