The "Herald” comments that Felton was very tired passing the gasworks where the foul occurred. He seemed to be all out and unable to get out of Barry’s way. The “Telegraph” says the foul had no effect on the ultimate result. Barry finished full of rowing, but Felton was very tired and appeared to be rowed right out. The better man of the day undoubtedly won. Beach declares Felton was done and could not get out of Barry’s way. It was a poor race for a championship and Felton was altogether outclassed. It is somewhat remarkable that the foul occurred on the same spot where nnnlon fouled Beach in 1884 race. Felton’s defeat c-ame on his birthday. LONDON, August 29.
