Von Elm, eighteenth on the first day, got back into the running by shooting a second round of 69, two strokes under par and the lowest score of the meeting.

...crews costumed as 18th Century sailors, and from the river the sounds of the famed Eton Boating Song. Because this is the school's gala day, Old Etonians the world over celebrate it with alumni dinners.
