Buck shore today would win unless it was decidedly inferior to its competitor. ‘The Cornell crew lurched at 11 o'clock and then retired for a short sleep. They were called at 2 o’clock, and were all feel- ing, as one of them expressed it, “out of sight.” Another member of the crew remarked, significantly: “‘We mean to win.” At 2 o'clock the Cornell crew, in two car- riages, drove through the fields to the starting point, the American college boys running and yelling after the vehicles, ut- tering the college cry, “Cornell-I-yell, yell, yell, Cornell,” which astonished the Brit- ishers. ‘The strong wind continued from the Buck shore, and all of the four races up to that time had been won by crews pulling on the Buck side of the river. At the Start. At 2:30 p.m. the Leanders paddled down the course to the starting point. They look- ed in splendid form and were loudly cheer- ed by the crowds on both banks of the river. The grand challenge cup trophy was dis- played during the day on the grand stand and was the object of much curiosity among the Americans a1.d others. It is a beautiful embossed bowl, with two handles, and inscribed -pon it the names of every winning crew wnich has competed for it since it was first rowed for, in 1839. The United States ambassador, Thomas Bayard, and a representative of the Associated Press were on board the um- pire’s launch. The excitement was at a fever heat when the course was cleared in preparation for the most important event of the day, the race between Cornell and Leander in the third of the first series of trial heats for the grand challenge cup. When the umpire put the crews in posi- tion Correll was first in place, and Lean- der slowly paddled to the point assigned to that crew. Several boats followed in the wake of the two crews, and the umpire sharply ordered them away, as they seemed to seriously in- terfere with the Leanders. Leander Fails to Start. ‘The umpire then said: “Hurry up, Lean- der!” When the Leander crew was in place the umpire erled: “Are you ready?” Cornell replied, “Yes.” 7 A number of the Leander crew said first, “Yes,” and then the Leander stroke, C. W. Kent, turned and cried, “No, no.” The umpire an instant before had sald, Leander, at the word, started, half of the crew pulling for dear Ife; but the others turned and shouted, “Qh, not ready.” The umpire waved his hand to Cornell, which crew had taken the water promptly when the word was given, shot ahead and continued over the course. The umpire's boat at first did not follow, and the Leanders, with the coxswain, F. Cc. Begg, fa a terrible rage, pulled their boat toward the umptre’s launch, and Begg said told you we were not ready.” To this the umpire made no reply, and his launch steamed ahead after the Cor- nell crew, which was now far down the course. The Leanders until the umpire’s launch passed away cut of speaking distance con- tinued to shout wildly: “We are not ready, Why did you serve us so?” But the umpire did not look at them and increased the speed of his launch. In the meantime the Cornell crew, pull- ing a stcady, even strcke, seemed satisfied that they were in the right in continuing the race. Passing the end of Regatta Island, F. D. Colson, the Cornell coxswain, half turned and held up his hand toward the umpire's launch. But the umpire waved them on, and Col- son, with a satisfied look, quickly resumed his position and gave a sharp order to the crew, who had relaxed the tremendous pace with which they had started. Then, upon reaching the half-mile post, where th: crowds began to thicken, the Cornell boys were loudly cheered. A few feet beyond this there were excited shouts, coming from both banks of the river, and the words: “Where fs Leander: Why don’t they come? Are they lost could be heard every few feet. “An English crew would never have kept on,” said an excited Britisher. Americans Disappointed. On the grand stand among the Ameri- cans the feeling was one of great disap- pointment. One American said: “Well, I would rather they had licked us than to have a thing like this.” However, the universal opinion among the rowing authorities here was that Cor- nell was perfectly right in rowing over the course, and that they could have done nothing else in the face of the umoire's ‘der. orpvery few feet on the way to the finish line the excitement increased until, nearing the finish, the suspense was something tre- mendous ~ The umpire steamed up to the press stand amid great excitement and loud exclama- tions from all sides. But the umpire was not in any way dismayed, and he said: “The race is Cornell's. Leander did not start.” The Cornell crew got a very good recep- tion as they passed the winning point (time 8.11) in great style, but there was some hooting mingled with the English cheers and Cornell yells. The Cornell crew approached their boat house looking as if they had been defeated, and their friends who were waiting for them were almost afraid to ask for the result of the race, Finally a yenturesome reporter put the question to the crew, asking if Cornell was victorious, and three or four of the Cornell- ers solemnly nodded in reply. Comments of the Crew. The men got out of their boat without displaying the least satisfaction or enthu- siasm, with the single exception of little Colson, who remarked: “We are winners, but there was no race. The other fellows made only four strokes and stopped. It was entirely their fault, for the referee sald ‘Go,’ and you bet we chaps went. But when we saw our oppo- nents were making no efforts we slowed up, as there was no sense in tiring ourselves. I can’t imagine what was the matter with the other chaps, unless it was that they were afraid of us. But we were winners, just the same.” “I am sure we would have won,” said Roe, “so I am sorry the Leanders did not put themselves to the test. Anyway, it Was no fault of ours.” “I suppose we should be enthusiastic,” said Dyer, “but there is little to base it upon.” “It was a glorious sight,” Freeborn re- marked, “as we-came down the course. That was some compensation for the lack of excitement. There would have been no chance to take side glances at the scene if there had been a race.” Fennell remarked: “I am sorry now we did not slow up enough to study the faces of the pretty girls.” Hall said: “The umpire said ‘Go,’ and we could only obey.” “There was no glory in it,” exclaimed Spellman, “but it was better than defeat.” Hager expressed the opinion that “It could hardly be called good exercise.” Cornell did not get to its boat house be- fore a big crowd of friends arrived to ten- der their congratulations, but these were received very modestly. Leander Protests. HENLEY, England, July 9.—The Leander crew has entered a protest against the de- cision of the umpire, which protest was re- ferred to the board of stewards, but in the opinion of the rowing experts the stewards will not change the decision. The umpire informed the representative of the Associated Press that the Cornell crew were perfectly right in every way. “The Learders tell me that none of them sald ‘yes’ to my inquiry as to whether they were ready or not. But we, on the launch, certainly so understood them.” Cornell will meet the crew of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, tomorrow, which crew de- feated the London Rowing Club crew to- day. THE OTHER EVENTS.

HENLEY, England, July 9.—In the first heat for the grand challenge cup at noon today Trinity Hall Rowing Club, Cam- bridge, beat the London Rowing Club eight easily by four lengths in seven minutes thirty-six seconds. A head wind was blow- ing and prevented making fast time. Trin- ity Hall had the Bucks or most favorable shore of the course. In the first heat for the Thames challenge cup St. John’s College (Oxford) Boat Club beat the eight of the Thames Rowing Club by a length and a half in seven minutes fifty-seven seconds. In the second heat for the grand challenge cup the Eton Public School crew beat the eight of the Thames Rowing Club. In the first heat for the visitors’ chal- lenge cup the Trinity Hall (Cambridge) crew beat the four of Caius College, Cam- bftidge. In the second heat for the Thames chal- lenge cup the crew of the Nereus Boat Club of Amsterdam University beat the crew of the Lady Margaret (St. John’s College, Cambridge,) Boat Club. The Dutchmen simply walked away from the Lady Margaret crew and won as they liked by two and a half lengths. They received the heartiest kind of a reception as they crossed the line ahead of the home crew. The crews of the London Rowing Club and the Argonaut Rowing Club of Toronto started in the first heat for the Stewards’ challenge cup for four at 4:08 p.m. The Canadians were first away, R. G. Munse setting the pace at forty-three to the minute, which placed them a length ahead. But at the half mile post the London crew had gained on the crew from Toronto, and they raced almost nose and nose down to the mile post, which was passed at 4:13:55. Rowing forty-six strokes to the minute, the Argonauts then gained a slight ad- vantage, but the pace told, and F. H. Thompson splashed badly. The two boats from that time on continued to race on atout even terms, amid great excitement, until when within a few feet of the finish the London crew put on a splendid spurt ant won by two feet, in 8 minutes 1 sec- ond. GRAND CHALLENGE CUP RACE. The Great Event in English Rowing Circles. HENLEY, July 9.—The grand challenge cup was first competed for in 1839; the Leander Rowing Club, composed mainly of ex-Oxford and Cambridge oarsmen, are the holders of this trophy, and the Leander Boat Club holds the record for this race, 6m. 5Sis., made in 1891 over the Henley course, one mile 550 yards. Consequently, there was an increase of interest in this event when it was decided by drawing lots at the Town Hall, Henley, Saturday last, that Cornell was to meet the Leander crew, the most prominent oursmen of Great Britain, this afternoon. Last year the race for the grand challenge cup was rowed in 7m. 22s., and as the men frem Cornell have frequently covered the course in a little over 7 minutes, their ad- mirers, in spite of the gloomy reports from the training quarters of the crew, believed that the winning crew would have to break the record. It has been pronounced to be Impossible to imagine a more plcturesque scene than the one furnished on the waters and banks of “Old Father Thames” between Regatta Island, which is the starting line, and Hen- iy bridge, a short distance above the fin- ish. Henley is situated thirty-six miles from London, about an hour of railroad train riding, in an ideal English country district, and on regatta days crowds of excusionists travel from the great metropolis to the banks of the Thames near Henley, in order to witness this unique aquatic carni- val. The competing oarsmen, of course, were the main attraction; but their hun- dreds of admirers, male and female, are the people who make up the picturesque crowds at Henley. At a rough estimate, fully 120,900 persons were present at the regatta, which began today, continues tomorrow and ends on Thursday. Every garret rentable has been secured days, weeks and even months ahead of this, the opening day of the re- gatta, and important personages connected with Cornell University, after wandering for hours about Henley and its neighbor- heod, were unable to obtain beds until some kind of makeshift accommodation was provided for them at the training quar- ters of the Cornell crew. Many Americans on Hand. The number of Americans present in Great Britain is by all accounts the largest ever recorded. Anyhow, the crowds of Americans at Henley during the three days of the regatta will utterly eclipse any- thing of the sort ever dreamed of. The visitors from the United States took Old Father Time by the forelock and secured the best apartments and most comfortable house boats it was possible for money to procure, and they determined to “root” for the boys from Cornell as long as their lungs held out. In fact, the average American rarely kncws how dearly he loves his American country until he finds himself in a strange land and prepared to witness a struggle like the one here. Besides, “Old Glory” never looks more beautiful than when waving defiantly among the flags of other nations and when the puise quickens with the anticipation of a gallant struggle with the best muscle of Great Britain, the home of heaithy sport. This morning every hotel, cottage, pri- vate residence, house boat, steam launch, electric launch and rowboat of all sizes and descriptions was occupied in some shape or other. Both the Berkshire and the Buck- inghamshire shcres of the river, popularly kncwn as the Berks and the Bucks, were alive with people and the waters swarmed with small craft taking part in this grand aquatic picnic. The blending of color was really marvel- ous. Flags of all colors, sizes and shape: mingled with costumes of every descrip- tion and hue imeginable, topped off with a mushroom growth of mary-colored para- sols and umbrellas, River Jammed With Boats. From the ancient stone bridge above the finish to the starting line below Regatta Island, the water near the banks of the | Thames was jammed with house boats, launches, steam yachts, college barges, row- boats, canoes and every other gort of craft known to aquatic humanity, crowded to the utmost with le and female rowing enthusiasts, and all clothed in the very latest of boating costumes of rain or sun- ONE IN FIVE THOUSAND. The Proportion of Bad Tempered Wo- men is Very Small. A famous doctor, who regards nagging as a dls- evse, suys that one woman in fifty is more or less afflicted, while only one in five thousand is a hope- less nagger, or, in other words, bas an incorrigibly bad temper. Well, that is good showing, consider- tng what women have to put up with in hot weath- er. ‘They work in overheated kitchens. They are ¥exed with a thousand cares, and when night comes, what with cooking, mending and the care of restless children, they are utterly worn out.

Some of them are simply barges, with rough wooden houses upon them, their roofs and windows loaded with flower boxes and flower pots; others are really little floating palaces, hidden under canopies of growing vines. Nearly all, at night, are plentifully decorated with string of Chinese lanterns, giving to the river a mest pleasant illumination, es- Peclally so as mosquitoes are almost un- krown on the banks of the Thames.

The course between heats 1s almost blotted out by small craft, but the ringing of a bell causes an almost magical change, the course is cleared, the music ceases, an almost dead stillness tles over the Immense throngs assembled, and then from the starting line arise roars of cheers, which are borne onward with the competing boats until they reach a climax at the finish line. The Racing. In exact figures, the course is one mile and 550 yards long; the starting line is below Regatta Island; the crews row up stream, against the slight current, and the finish is opposite the grand stand, below Heniey bridge. Owing to the fact taat the Thames about Henley is narrow and crowd- ed, all the races are rowed in heats, only two boats starting in each heat. The first heat is started at noon and the last heat is started at 8 p.m., a heat being rowed every half hour. The most perfect order prevails and everything goes off with clock work regulari The regatta committee assigns a position to every boat on the river and this rule also prevails in the case of the camping ard coaching parties. Every boat has a distinguishing color and the blades of the oars, as a rule, are paiated this cclor. The course fs marked by plies, on top of which are white flags, and at each quacter of a mile there is a bell which is rurg loudly as each competing boat passcs, in order that the friends of the contestants may knew exactly the intervals separating them.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Much has recently been said in the local papers in regard to the necessity for im- proved postal facilities for the suburban villages in the District, and the desirability of concerted action by the residents of these towns to effect this improvement. While suggestions for public improvements are always in order, especially when made by such an Influential paper as The Star, It is hardly fair to head the lst of these slow mail places with Brightwood, as that wide-awake suburb has been blessed with mail service by electric cars for several months. Through the persistent efforts of the Brightwcod Avenue Citizens’ Associa- tion, with the co-operation of Postmaster Willett and Capt. Sherwood, Assistant Post- master Gen, Neilson was induced to cause the circuitous mail route via Takoma to be changed from steam to electric cars, and now we have three mails daily. The morn- ing papers are received at 7 o'clock, and The Evening Star is delivered at 5 p.m, much earlier than it is served to many sub- scribers in the city.
