The referee, after hearing both sides of the race, decided that it should be rowed over; but the two inside crews showing an argumentative spirit, it was found impossible to carry this decision into effect, and the race later in the day was given to Guild's crew. The reasons for so doing ought perhaps to be stated. Before the turn, as we have seen, Guild's crew was ahead, and as they went round they were fouled by Page's crew, who were from...
...sections are so peculiar that it is well to quote them in full, and the speculative reader may try to imagine the effect which their enforcement would have in the present time.
