LONDON, June 12. - The wind had almost subsided when the Cornell crew went over the course this afternoon. The crew, consisting of Matthews, Spillman, Hagen, Freeborn, Fennell, Dyer, Louis, and Hall(stroke), rowed a quarter of a mile down and back at a 46-stroke, after which they turned and went to the Fawley Court boat house. On the way to the boat house they made several short spins of about half a minute each, which were taken at about the same rate. The bodies of the men were even and steady. The boat rolled a little and their stroke...

The head wind was expected to be of advantage to the heavier sophomore crew, but this was neutralized by the fact that the juniors had the most protected course next the wall. The seniors rowed in the roughest water on the outside of the other two crews, and surprised everyone by their excellent showing. They succeeded in leading the '97 boat until almost at the finish, and in all probability would have won if their men had been...
