to note the very general supremacy of
American brain , brawn and muscle. Despite
. untavorablo conditions and aurpices on many
occasiona , America has triumphed over Engtu
land In aImo.'t every inBtance , and likesh

' 1 coutcets , and yet Albion'o beet men could I
inako but a sorry showing against her stal-
' warts. Dunravon , by his dartardly. charges ,
has probably' destroyed all cIIanco5 for the
' greatest ot all aquatic events. the America's
Cup race , but it. looko very much as If there
was to be a general rcival in mii'cellaneous
ynoliting and rowing affairs , And so it
ceoms In alt legitimate atnateiir sport.
America's royal record of the part year has
given an nt'toundliig ' impetus to all pastImes
that have thus far managed to Ieep out of
the grasp of the professional.
r Of courre it is a little premature to In-
, dulgo In any prediction as to the outcome
' of Tab's visit to Henley , but there is ono
thing Americans can depend on , and that
. Is that her crew will never quit. When the
Ilcn , are finally selected they will cross over
" . the lrinlc with that same old confidence
that has pulled out nnny a contest for them
on both land and water. Bob Cook , who
will see the crow through personally , hs
pail more attention to the stroke than ho
has to lila business and nothing will be left
: undone to make thio American crew the
fineet that over sat in a Yale shell. Thela
. material Is all on hand and is being most
successfully developed. And how Yale has
out.generaled her naval rivals , especially
; Harvard , who , out with Yale on foot ball
matters , has declined to meet Vale In any
: athletic contest. She vcnt into the qnd-
. rangular arrangenient on the hludron , clo-
: ing Yale out. It was a sort of a harvard-
' Cornell combination. hut In the midst of It
Yale closes the Henley arrangement and
c alt eyes look toward New haven and anx-
Iously await the outcome of what. will Un-
doubtedly prove one of the greateat inter-
naUonal boat races the worki has ever seen.
