I throw tha seat out and rowed the balance of the course without it. A foul with a Thames boat was caused by a barge obstructing "my view," The " Standard" says the time of the Hillsdales for the first mile was 4min 93seo, and they hud tha lead by a clear length. The time to Hammersmith bridge was 7min 52seo, that of the Thames boat B;cin lseo. Hillsdales' arrived off Chiswiok Church in 12min 35seo. When Captain Terwiliger'a elide broke ho held it up in his hand, and threw it ov rboard. Notwithstanding tho accident Hillsdales' time at tho finish was only l£saci. behind thatjof the Thames crew. The "Standard" thinks nevertheless the race has vindicated the English style of rowing, and the Americans were tiring rapidly when tho mishap occurred. Gulston, who had been appointed umpire, was absent, and Chambers acted in his place. The "Sportsman" says it was very unfortunate that Hillsdales were to blame, and the occurrence of fouling waa due to their inability to steor properly owing to their steering without a coxswain, and no impartial person would acCUB 9 thorn of wilful misconduct. It is probable Hillsdales would have won. At the moment of the catastrophe they were going at a batter pace than their opponents, and rowed a surprising stroke. It is matter of surprise they were able to attain suoh a pace. The accusations that passed between the spectators in steamers at tha time when tho course of tho Hillsdales wss most eccentric were quite unjustified. Tha steering of both orews was most eccentric, and involuntarily risky. Tha crows were banquetted at Holborn as guests. The London Club was present. Toihon pros[dod, and he toasted the Hilhdales, and spoko in eulogistio terms of their conduct under vory trying circumstances.
