They trained religiously and with Good method Snow gradual Midi movement up to the Day of the race. By the saturday be fore the regatta it was seen that Leander was not up to the form of pre Vious years that Jesus was Good but not overwhelming and that the two american Crews were formidable particularly As. Owing to their Peculiar style it wag hard to Tell when they were rowing their hardest. Yet Winnipeg still seemed to have a Good Chance until the racing began. Al though they against Iiames i was seen that the extra weight o Harvard would almost certainly Tel on the Morrow. The Canadian men averaged 157 ibs., and Harvard Wen is ibs. Per Man heavier. This Handi Cap is too great Over such a hard course As Henley and in a Large measure is to be attributed the defeat. The Crew rowed Well and held their form throughout but could never overcome the advantage in. Weight and station which their opponents had. Tas race took place on a rather fast Day. There was a Diagonal Fol lowing wind and not a not a great Deal of Stream. Both Crews were confident at the Start Tut amongst the spectators it was generally thought thai Harvard s strength would Triumph. Winnipeg started at Twenty one strokes in the half and forty two in the full minute Harvard doing thirty eight. Immediately Winnipeg nent ahead and held the Lead for a Quarter mile. Harvard were still Row ing the slower stroke but gradually came tip and when half Way a reached they were leading by a can Vas. Riley spurted and s gained by the steady strength of the americans enabled them to make up loss 1 and to continue going away. Again Winnipeg made a magnificent Effir two Hundred Yards from Home ibo could not make much impression Harvard won by three quarters of a length in seven minutes Flat. The Victory of Harvard was feared but also expected. When All the eng Lish Crews had fallen on thursday the tide of enthusiasm set towards this enthusiasm slightly diluted toy the bought that if Winnipeg Defeated the Eon Guei of of Leander the latter would look very Small indeed. But despite this selfishness the were All for Canada except jobs a feed by the americans who came to see the fun.

Has Heen a rigid Follower of Ishu orthodox but the majority have not and do not dare even to imperfection in the methods Solon the present a causes silent doubt amongst a few. But their in fluence Likely to be open or effective. The defeat of Leander is explained away by the fact that the Crew had been together such a Short Tir Afel this has much truth but the facet of four defeats remains and can erased As unimportant. The Leauder four by defeating the Ger mans gave a fillip to the jaded spirits of the onlookers and great credit must be riven to the men who rowed such. A splendid race. But there seems justification for a reconsideration of their position by the English re Wing authorities. For Long Leander has Hel d England on the top of the wave and when this Crew fails the country seems in danger of sinking. To an outsider it appears As if the Supre Macy in rowing during the last few year s has been maintained with Dif. Iii ult and almost under false pretences.

I mean rather that England has won by the help of Leander. A picked Crew from both universities which Crews clubs. Means All England against competing this does from individual not appear a True comparison Between the relative pow ers of the competing countries. I do not think it necessarily implies a superiority on this Side. Probably that superiority exists for rowing a much More prominent and popular sport Here than in America or on the continent but As yet the test has not been satisfactory. At any rate in the last few Days. English prestige has Cincinnati july was almost i Vinci Blet allow ing Cincinnati ilnits act new York easily shut the reds today 5 to 0. Chicago july federals Chi Cago and St. Lucia divided a double header today. A belated batting rally gave Che visitors the of rpt to 2. In the second could do nothing i so and Chicago a on 1 2 Bens play third draw with Ulster suffered so that it might be said have touched tie two infinities. Ulster and Ben is Evis again failed to arrive at a decision in Fleir. Second round Connaught cup played last night on the stadium the closing in Semi darkness wit i the score 2 goals each. ,.this was the third Occa Sion in which the teams had met in this round and a fourth meeting has necessitated. In Justice to the spectators it is up to the teams to Start earlier so that in t he event of an other draw extra time might be played for otherwise the Competition is to be unduly delayed. Ben Nevis with a Little Luck might have emerged with Vic tory last night the finishing of the forwards was feeble and their shooting wide of the it target in the Outfield they had Hie play but the Ulster defence was Best form the Brothers Thomo Jjo playing a Strong game at Ulster opened the scoring no two oarsmen agree on. All Points of style and there Are Many faults to be found with every method in exist ence. The English might with profit look More closely into some Continental and american peculiarities and the latter could learn much from their visit to the English Crews. Nor is Winnipeg perfect. It was a Good Crew and1 represented the City but it had some faults inherent to Canadian to Gorman in the first half which closed with the irishmen Lead Ife the Sola tall. Shortly after the restart w. Hen Derson beat Mcmeekin for the equal Izer but Ulster Drew again ahead about through the Mcconnell beat eadie., two minutes later Bens evened up Henderson again being responsible. Bens held the hand till the end to Wrner after Corner falling to their Lou but nothing evolved the forwards failing badly in front of goal. Darkness ate vented extra time Ueng played. Jimimy Duncan refereed Tae teams lining up As rowing. One remarked the neatness of their Blade work and the excellent j Ben Jackson and time of the tidy swing but in co m Lynch Henderson and strange Parison e seemed to be lacking the is so the australians and americans this year at least Row with a swish through the water and come up slowly. The English Row with a heave through the water and come up Are too inclined Al Row in Ding Dong fas Hion to take he same tips coming Forward As in gives the impression Rishi Nejrup to get in the next stroke. V the Wiah Peg Crew were not great sin Jers if this but i think they transgressed to some extent. Another criticism levelled at them Iri Many quarters was that the beginning of we stroke was poor. Perhaps it might have been a Little firmer with Advant age Alt Hough it is a question if the Crew could accentuate both and the finish. Bibble. The Toronto was vet Good but not quite Pood enough.
