LONDON. July 7. ( New Y * World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) Bntftali * port-
Ins aojptallly showed itself at Its bett
al Henley today. It would b anlrte to
sy there was any fcotne regret that Le
ander won , but regret was general that
Yale was pitted against Its strongest op
ponent In the flrat beat. All Healey , ap
parently , would have been l d it Vale had
drawn weaker opponents and had luted
until tbe final struggle with cither Leander
or New as contestants then.
Such a crowd and crush has aot been
known st Henlej for years , probably not
in Its whole history. How boats were hired
freely at double rates as compared to last
jear. American fiftgs also floated freely
over several of the best home boats par-
tcularly over that of Mrs Hanting Howell
of New York whose sea rowed in the Trin
ity Hall eight , which won the cup last
.vcar with > oung Mr. Howell ES a member
of the crew , but which was beaten today
and over that of Mis. Emerson Mercer
who although tn English woman , flew our
colors In honor of Mrs Kohn Brooks former
owner of the Las.ka who was her guest
The follow ing vivid and accurate description
of the race is by Mr. Theodore A. Cook
whoso capacit } to Judge and whose expe
rience as a British oarsman I have alread }
explained to the World's readers
It was evident at the quarter mile from
the finish , where I had m } station , that
Yale was quite pumped , while Lcander
was still rowing easily. 1 have never teen
10 perfect a swing and stroke asat this
moment , aud am entirel } convinced Leander
might. If pushed , have added at least an
other length to her lead

FROM AN ENGLISH STANDPOINT
I have seen one of the l > est races ever
rowed at Henlev Yale gave uch an e-s-
hibitlon of pluek as has been rare ! } w it-
nested , but ni 1 predie-ted in the \\orld
four months aso. and as > I enabled last night
the Bob Cook stroke proved useless against
the English snle I nm able to give to the
\\orld what is Impossible for the reader-
of any other paper to obtain an erclu lvel >
.iccurate nport of the Yale race a com
pared with that for any other New York
piper for b > the kindness of the umpire.
Mr Frank \\illlams. 1 WHS allowed to ac
company the race from the first stroke to
the last on the umpires launch The only
other p rsors lx-sid < s the iwo umpires on
the boat were Bob Cook of Yale. Mr W C.
Ke-nt , a famous old Oxford stroke , four
representative * of the English press and
Mr. Nf > ef for the Associated press of Amer
ica. The World had the only speeial Amer
ican corre-sponde-nt in the only place from
which the who'e race could be accurate 1 >
seen. As we steamed down the crowded
course , with pleasure boats Turrving out
of our wuon vcr5 tide , it was plc-asant
to see the amount of intere-st that the com
ing contest ivng attracting. 'i ale flags
were waving In the air on e-iT } ' side
Leander colons flamed in opposition from
countless boats and sunshndts
L ander had paddled down to the startIng -
Ing point , through the crowd and was
Orst to be rendj at the post. Just as our
liunch was turning around for the stake ,
Yie ) paddled from their craft , their white
jerseys edge-d with blue , showing wel
against the delicate silver gre } of the wil
lows , behind Tempi * " island
YALE LOOKED STRONG
Yale certainly looked the strongest as
thev are the heaviest crew at Henley In
this or any other ? ear Their stroke in
particular looked In the pink of condition ,
nnd in all the men that settled gaze astern
of confidence and perfect health pave j > rom-
isf of a plendid struggle Leander turned
to the-ir btarting post in a leisurelv fashion
paddling Eentlj. settling their rowing jer
seys nnd shorts into a comfortable hang
ind looked general ! } verv much at their
as Yale were far more machine-like and
regular in everv motion even whn they
were piddling it was noticeable how per-
fectlv together the oars dipped Their
! -road Mddi = . how thoroughly in unison
i eir bodies swung , how cimultanc-ous was
i he s > hoot forward of these strong brown
jrms What a pity tbat so much strength
ind o much practice should have been de
voted to wrong methods Never ha-ve I
seen n crew so absolutely unanimous in
doing the wrong thing at the same moment
Never have 1 seen so much pluck und so
much strength wasted in tryinc to mo\e
a boat In the wrong wav A crew that in
courage in sportsmanship , in strength and
weight have rarely been e-qualled upon an >
Lourse , were- not permitted to show their
real pace by limitations of their pace , but
their plucl : was oraethlnR nothing could
obscure , and until the first hnlf mile was
over that pluck gxi've ever } English heart a
thrill of trepidation Alter that mart , was
passed we could only admire the dogge-d
resolution which refused to accept defeat ,
and chafed Leander sullenly to the finish
without shirking for a single stroke.
YALE LED FOR A MOMENT
The boats went away to a beautifullv
even start As the umpire's "Are vou
read } " was followed bv the word "Go"
though Yale put in several more strokes
tbnn their opponents in the first half min
ute , I eander got nearly twenty feet ahead
verv soon after tbe first crash of the oar
blades in the water began the race , but
before 100 jare1 * wa over the Yale boys
crept slowly tip and as the boat cleared
the point of the island and the main course
opened out , an exciting crowd could just s > ee
the nose of the Yalr boat coming to the
front In the first minute the Americans.
brd rowed fom-three strokes to tbe Ens
lish fort-two but in both boats the rate
of striking soon began to drop Yale still

HENLSY-ON-THK-THAMBS. July 7
Yale was defeated , but not disgraced today
In the third trial heat for the Grsad Chal
lenge cup Leander won by on * and three-
fourtht lengths in ten minutes , fourteen
j eeond6 The record is six minute * flftj-
cne Beoals Previous to th * beginning
of racing Deb CooK said that with the e c
diltons as they were , there was not the
slightest adtanlage in either the Hacks or
the Derl-.s station , and that It was a per-
f tly fslr course. He expressed the belief
that Leaadir would win by a length to a
length and a half. The weather was clouJ >
and oppressive and there was scarce ! } a
breath of air at noon , although there were
some indications in the west of a breeze
All the morning trains arrhed heavily
laden vllh rowing enthusiasts , but the
crowd present was not as gteat fig had
been expected. Yale's colors were to be
seea everywhere on the grandstand in the
enclosure on the houseboats , launches and
small boats. James R Roose\elt , secre
tary of the Vnlted States embassy , and
Ambassador Bajard were unable to attend
From the earliest hours the course was
lined with crowds of people and there were
many American boats full of gay parties
earning the stars and stripes and Yale
flags while the grandstand was packed
with Yale enthusiasts , who waved Old Ells
colors and did e erj thing possible to show
their confidence In the oarsmen from New
Haven
Along the crowded bank of the Bucks
side of the river William Waldorf Asters
launch was conspicuous The majoritj of
the Americans had Yale flags unfolded in
anticipation of the exciting moments of the
race between Yale and Leander. When
that exent was started , the Yale flags and
the stars and ttripes waved on all sides
and there were roars of encouragement for
the joung men from New Haven
START OF THE ROWING.
The first cient was the trial heat No. 1.
for the diamond t-culls. In which R K
Beaumont of the Burton Rowing club beat
Frank Beddington of the Mcdway Rowing
club eas.il > in 9 07. In the second heat for
the same tropay Vivian Niclialls of the
I/jndon Rowing club beat Rev. Sldnej
Swann of tbe Cambridge Unliersit > Boat
rlub bj a quarter of a length. Both men
vere exhausted at the finish Time , t 53
Then came tbe first trial heat for the
Grand Challenge Cup. and First Trinlt }
beat the London Rowing club crew by half
a length It was a fine race , but both
crews were \erj tired at the finish Time
7 Id Both crows started with a ? ! stroke
At the farm which was reached In " SC , Lon
don lost three-quarters of a length At
Fawlej court. First Trinit > spurted with a
40 stroke but London hung on an J Trmitj
did not get clear until a quarter of a mile
from the finish London spurted gamelj
and repeatedly , but was unable to catch the
Cambridge men and the latter won with a
fine spurt at the finish , in 7 20
In the second heat for the Grand Chal
lenge cup. New college beat Trinity Hall
with the greatest ease bj one and three-
fourths lengths Trinit } Hall was used up
at the finish Time 7 19 At no time was
Trinity Hall a match for its opponents
New college pulled a 42 stroke and Trinity
Hall pulled a 41 to the minute. The quarter-
mile was done in S2 seconds bj New college
the half-mile was passed in " C9 , and Fawlej
court was re-ached in 3 34 Trinity Hal !
passed the latter point in S SD4 New college
rowing a 26 stroke won easily by one and
thr e-quarters lengths Trinity Hall was
exhausted at the end of the race , but the
e-ollege m n had plentj of go in them
The superior showing of the New college
men was remarkable especially at Red-
mandham. although Trmitj Hall was row
ing a splendid stroke , but the advantage of
the Bucks station was telling sharply against
all of Trinitv's efforts and approaching
Fawley court New colleges splendid rowing
forged them away ahead and it was appar
ent that the\ were winning easilj When
the last quarter was entered upon New
college was going right away from Trinitj
Hall although the latter spurted to no
purpose and the former won easilj
After New college's decisive ilctory over
Trinity Hall , fully justifjiag all of tbe
Henlej predictions , the interest clearlv
seemed to become more intent as prepara
tions for the Yale-Leander heat were
hastened
YALE WAS FEELING EASY.
The Yale men were afloat at 9-45. and took
a bhort spin to test the rigging of the boat
On its return "Bob" Cook carefully In
spected the racing shell and taid "The
Lord is not with us as regards the wind , but
the boat is In perfect condition "
Captain Treadwaj remarked "We are
all well and confident of winning"
Coxswain Clarke said. " Weshall have a
srcat trj "
Beard. Langford , Brown and Bailej
gathered ia a group and in substance , said
"We are more confident than jesterday"
Captain Treadway passed bis hand care
fully along the bottom of the boat end then
Mills. Whitney and Armstrong entere-d a
skiff and towed the American ell toward
the starting point. The sk > was still over
cast and ttere was little cr no wind although
the breezes showed indications of springing
out of the west
Both crews were loudlv cheered as the }
made for the island , and the } reached that
point looking as fit as two crews could pos-
sibl } be Both tbe British and the Ameri
cans teemed determined to give the rival
rc < * s as much encouragement us possible
and the cheering did not cease until the
racing craft were in position
When the word WEE given ct 1 34'i Le
ander and Yale pot aw a } prettily together
Contrary to general eipwstatlon Yale was
Itilte ae quick as Leander In starting At
'he end of the island the L anders had *

drew clear , and when the Yale boat passed

seemed plaed out. He was pulling life

they liked.
NEARING THE FINISH.
As the racing craft appeared in sight near
the finish the applause , shouting and flag
waving began and graduall } increased until
it assumed the proportions of a perfect hur
ricane of demonstration when the boats
crossed the finish line Tbe Yale partisans
on the crend stand cheered the Americans
to the utmost , and the Britishers were
ecuall } enthusiastic In applauding the Le-
anders" . especially when it. was seen from
the last quaner that the latter were win-
QC"Bob" Cook in an interview after the
Yale-Leander race said ' 1 have no excuses
to make. We were simply beaten because
o could not row as fast as our opponents
We did as well as possible with the material
we had to work with I was satisfied we could
not win with this } ears material at Yale
We have been handsomely treated here on
all sides I was perfectly satisfied with tbe
drawing and with all the arrangements As
for the reported condition of stroke , that is
all nonsense" , , . , , , ,
After tbe heats had been decided Colonel
Weallan. the representative of the Henle }
stewards , the other regatta officials and all
the prominent rowing men went to the Yale
boat bouse and shook bands with Mr Cook
and the Yale crew expressing regret at tbe
fact that they did not win
Mr. Cook certain ! } never worke-d harder to
get a crew In fit condition to win a race.
Langtford. talking over tbe race , re
marked "I felt the men behind were grow
ing tired They were unable to keep up
tbe high stroke , and therefore I dropped it
and lengthened. Later on Treadway and
mvself tried to raise the stroke , but we
could not do so to advantage , as the men
were doing their utmost as It was"
Guy Nickalls with the close of the race
shook hands with Captain Treadway and
said "It was too bad "
TWO LAID OUT.
When the Yale boat was taken from tbe
water Rodgcrs and Brown bed to be assisted
into the boathouse where tbev were laid on
tbe floor and several of the Leander attend
ants immediate ! } rushed to their assistance
and began chafing their arms , and doing
everything possible to revive the sufferers
It was at first feare-d that Brovm had
broken a blood vessel and Rodpers lay gaspIng -
Ing for breath while the attendants qulekl }
biought restoratives , bathed their faces and

but he stammered out "How is Rodger * * "
Tbe other members of the crew were In
good shape , although Captain Treadway
was bathed In perspiration as he sat on tbe
edge of the boat and re ; > eated. ' Never mind ,
we did the best we could " The men bore

Coxswain Clark said "We made an even

At the court we were even and then it was
first one boat and then the other draw

The general comment of the London pa
pers is a reflection on the Yale Btvle of row
ing All prtiire the jluck of the crew in
rouing out what was a bopelefs race from
tbe half Another festure of the comment
Is the cordial tone In which the coming of
foreign crews It refere-d to , and the ex
pression of the hope that the dc-fe-at of Yale
today will have tbe effect of bringing back
a crew trained In a modern Mlc of rowing.
Cornell is thought to have been tbe better
erew. aud the Incidents of Yale's visit have
wiped out the unpleazantnes of last > ear.
