And yet Cambridge won by only two lengths and this over a course nearly four and a half miles in extent. The spectacle was ope of the most brillant ever witnessed on the famous Thames course, The river was smooth and the tide full and the weather per fect for the holiday. At least 40,000 spectators lined the banks, lawns, ter- races and bridges, and scores of excur- sion steamers were crowded with pas- sengers. Never has the reach of the river from Putney to Mortlake, with its three quaint church towers and continuous environment of trees and turf, looked more beautiful than when a multitude of pleasure seekers had the satisfaction of looking on and wit- nessing the superior oarsmanship of their university athletes. If they cheer- ed their favorites lustily there was an undertone of sympathy for the gallang American competitors, who were show- * ling true Anglo-Saxon grit and taking a beating manfully without complaint Filley, captain of Harvard, after the race was naturally downcast but spoke to the point, “They got away quicker than we did" be sald, “and set us a terrific pace for the first mile. After that we began to close on them, but their stroke kept the men well together, so that when we spurted in the last half mile Stuart answered us by calling on Cambridge for another effort, and we failed to get up, having left It until too late. Still, we will come again and try to reverse the defeat.” English experts say there is but one explanation for the result, that of su- periority of English oarsmanship and of the Eoglish stroke. Harvard, the experts declare. was one of the finest crews physically ever seen on the riv- er, but they were unable to overcome that training which English oarsmen recelvye from childhood. The Cam- bridge crew, too, had In Stuart the ad- vantage of one of the best strokes Eovgland has produced. They also of course bad the advantage of choice of sides.
