Henlet, July 11. - The crowds who oolected to witness the second day's competition at tha Henley regetta were ,roated to anothor fluke, where a hot conest had been expected. Cornoll was the lukur this time, but it wasn't such a luke as Learulor made. The American crew was pitted against the Trinity Hall crew and had the lead oí a boat's length at the half raile. Here Freeborn had a dazy spell and dropped his oar. ConiL'U was paralyzed by this, and Crinity Hall shot ahead. Next Hager droppecl his oar and Fennell followed. All picked up again, but were evidently exhausted and tho Trinicy Hall crew went across the line eight lengths ahead; timo, 7:15. As Cornell orossed the line Fennell feil in a dead faint, soon recoverlns;, however. In fact the whole orew was "puinped out." The vlctory was a popular one, for the Englishinen are out of all reason against Cornell for not stopping when Leander made its fluke of the day before. This event makes it oertain th at tho ohallenge cup will not go to America. Cornell and its friends had one consolation during the day. The Thames Rowing club four beat "out of sight" a Leander four, all members of the crowthat fluked Tue-!day, and as it happens the four who have been bitterest in their cnticisms of tho Cornell boys.
