IiONDON, July 10. Tho third nnd final day of
the Henley regatta whs favored with magnificent
e nthcr. A gontle hreexo mitigated tho scorch
ing ras of tho sun. To rowing men interest
I largely centorod In tho final struggle for tho
Grand I ballon Cup, but the general publto
were most eager to ieo who would win the Dia
mond Sculls,
niftikituffo was the favorite, with Dr. Mo
Dowel' of Chicago second. The latter's sports
manllke conduct throughout andhls unobtrusive
manner -won for him many friends. If Black
staffo could not win a majority of the spectators
nero willing to sco McDowell the rlctor.
The event, however, was won by Ten Eyrie, a
young American rower, but his success was
not Tery popular, the belief being virtually
unlrersal that ha was not an amateur ao
cording to the Ilenley rules. After winning;
ho shook hands with Blackstaffe, which is
sot customary here, it being regarded as
a mark of professionalism. Moreover, Ton
Krck's practlco of giving his wash to his
adversary whon hard pressed added to tho dis
favor with which he was regarded. Such tac
tics, although, of course, admissible, are not
"Henley form," and are considered unsports
manlike. Ten Eyck's success was received with
comparntlre silence.
Tho semi-final heat between Dlackstaffe and
McDowell was a grand race. They hung to one
another like bulldogs. They were less than a
yard apart at the quarter mile, and then their
speed, which was already terrific, was increased)
but McDowell's doom was sealed soon after th
halt mile was passed. He stuck to his work,
however, with tho greatest gamenoss through
out. When Ten Eyck and Howell appeared every
body was on the qui viee. Ten Eyck shot off in
Use lead, rowing at a higher rate than his oppo
nent Ho Boon had an advantage of halt a
length, which he had increased to three-quarters
at tho three-quarter mark. There was evidently
more power In Ten Eyck's work than
in Howell's, but the latter hong on
doggedly. Boon Ten Eyck judged that
he was safe and tried to tako How
ell's water. The latter then spurted, compelling
Ten Eyck to withdraw. The latter repeated his
tactics at the first opportunity and Howell
again spurted, with the same result as before,
but Howell was overmatched, and at the mile
Ten Eyck was a length and a half ahead. The
Cambridge man kept digging away and drew up
until he had reduced the lead to half a length,
but he was unable to do better.
The excitement was at the highest pitch when
later In the day Blackstaffe and Ten Eyck cams
to tho starting point for the final heat. There
was a capital start, Blackstaffe seeming to get
away a little the quicker, but Ten Eyck took the
lead before six strokes had been pulled and
gradually Increased his advantage.
At the half mile he drevy dear and tried to
take Blackstaffo's water. Tho Englishman
spurted and drove him back, but to no purpose.
Almost two lengths separated the boats at the
mile. Ten Eyck was rowing well within him
self, while his opponent seemed to be In trouble,
though he was pulling gamely, with repeated
spurts. His efforts, however, were useless.
Apart from Tea Eyck'o tactics and his sup
posed professionalism. It Is admitted that he Is a
fine sculler, and his performance) In the final
heat was adjudged excellent.
Tho ninth heat for the Diamond Sculls (the
semi-final heat) was won by EL H. Ten Eyck of
the Wachnsstta Boat Club of Worcester, Mass
who led tnrrugfcont, and beat B.H. Howell of
Trinity Hall, Cambridge, by half a length In 3
minutes SO seconds,
, Thaflfthheaj (pi the Grand Ohallengo Cup,
between New College, Oxford, and the Leander
i CauhWM a teTrtfla struggle. It was anybody's
race until the last few strokes, when New Col
lege wonbrtwofeet In 0 minutes 01 seconds,
The tenth" peat for the Diamond Sculls be
tween Dr. W, B. McDowell of the Delaware Boat
Club of Quango and H.T. Blackstaffe of the
Vista Bowing Club was won by the latter.
McDowell led dear at tho quarter mile, but
BlaekstaSo overhauled him by half a length at
Fawley Court was reached In 8 minutes 62
seconds, McDowell at this point drawing up
nearly level, but at the three-quarters he was
three-quarters of a length behind, and never
gamed afterward, Blackstaffe won by a lemrth
and a half In a minutes 3 seconds. The Ameri
can steered badly after passing lawley Court.
Dr. McDowell says ha will return next year
and every rear thereafter until he wins the Dia
mond Sculls. He caught a crab at the Island
and never quite recovered his stroke.
In the heat for the Grand Challenge Cup be
tween New College and Leander the latter took
the lead immediately and was halt a length
ahead at the quarter mile. This lead was in-
I creased to a length and a half at the half mile,
when the New College boat drew up, getting
half a length ahead at the Bushes, from this
point there wore alternate spurts to the finish.

of the trophy, beating Emmanuel College, Cam
bridge. Eton led throughout the race after the
first strokes and won In 7 minutes 1 second,
beating. the record. . ..
The final beat for the Steward s Challenge

In the lead at the Rectory, a longth to the good

course was 8 minutes and 33 seconds.

and (. Nlckalls of the Leander Club, who bent

W. J. Ferule. The Trinity Half boat stooped
enr th Fawley Court boathouBe, Bull having
sen stricken with a sudden illness.
For the second time In the long vista of years
since the Uenley regatta was established. In
loJli, theStuis and Stripes float triumphantly
among the flags wblch denote victory achieved
at England's classlo rowing carnival. Columbia
College struck the first blow for American pres
tige In 1878. when her four went over and cap
tured the Visitor's Challenge Cup after falling
to qualify for the Steward's trophy. Our oars
men have tried for one or another of the coveted
Henley trophies since, but every effort seemed
unavailing. When Cornell and the champion
Argonauts wen t across, In 1800, the prosDect was
encouraging, and hope again revived when Tale
decided to tackle the Britishers last year. Mo
Doweli of Chicago also went along, but the re
sult uas the same old story. The Saxons were
apparently Invincible under the conditions, and
pnl) bulr-hearted Interest was aroused in Amer
ican boating circles some months ago when It
I transpired that the continent would: be repre

only some friction was needed to spread the
name, and this was soon forthcoming In the
sbapo of adverse criticisms from the other side

A retrospect of Henley history would be In
complete without a reference to a remarkable
Incident which occurred ln tho 1B13 contest for
the Grand Challenge Cup, tho trophy which
Cornell and Yale havo since sought ln vain. Tho
principals represented Oxford University B. C.
and the "Cambridge Subscription Rooms.'1 Both
crows qualified for tho final heat, but just
before the line-up F. Menstes, stroke of
the Oxford crew, fainted. Tho Cambridge
men objected to their rivals taking ln a
fresh substitute and Oxford decided to face the
ordeal with seven oars. The elements came to
the rescue of tho plucky Oxonians, and a strong
wind abeam favored the three-oar side suf
ficiently to keep the boat fairly straight. Find
ing they had still a fighting chance, the seven
dark blues rowed like demons and eventually
won by a length.
Edward Hanlan Ten Eyck, who won the Dia
mond Soulls yesterday. Is the youngest oarsman
who ever won this aquatic Dorby. The boy for
in point of years he Is but a mere lad has not
reached his eighteenth year; ln fact, his eight
eenth birthday Is over a month away, Aug. 20.
Young Ten Eyck can boost of many genera
tions of American blood. He comes of Hudson
River stock ln the vicinity of Peeksklll, Corn
wall, and West Point, where the male members
of his family were Hudson River boatmon for
at least six generations. He was born, as was
his father, ln Feoksklll, and received his first
lessons ln rowing from his grandfather. Capt,
James B. Ten Eyck, who, by the wsy. Is still
rowing a Whitehall boat for a living to and from
State camp. . ....
Old Oapt, Ten Eyck put an oar In the lad's
hands when his grandson was but G years old,
telUnghlm that ne would bo a champion some
day. From day today old Oapt. Jim and the
youngster rowod around the Hudson River, the
grand sire correcting faults here and there and
setting young Ed a good example. When 10
years old the lad could outrow pretty nearly
everybody using a Whitehall boat around Peek
skill, except his grandfather.
About that time the boy's father, James A.
Ten Kyck, secured a position as trainer to the
JA1IE8 A. TEH BTCK (TUB FATintlt).
Worcester Rowing Club, and moved his family
to WorgMter. taking tbo boy with him. When
yonng Ed moved away his grandfather told him
truss
"You know all there is to know about rowing.
Practise, and don't drink or smoke, and some
day you will beat the world."

PeexskUl, and, what Is more to the purpose Is
also an unbeaten parsman, having won seventy
five races on the Hudson River. Including two
victories over tho famous Ward broSers?
From tho time young Ten Eyck moved from
ikJ.toorM,ter unUl wi 14 years
old he attended school, only rowing a bit in the
summer time. One day ho ntere5 a local re
gatU on Lake Quinslgamond and wonltwlth

an opposition club to the one young Ten Ercks
father trained, persuaded the boy to VlS, and the

father rifusod at first to consent to the boy's
rowing, but finally gave ln, .nd wentdSntS

the boy's clubmates persuaded the refereo to let
blmstart, unfortunately for all the otbercon

ton, at a mile and a half. Last year, on Aug. 14,
he won tho Intermediate sculls at Saratoga in a
romp, and followed that up by bo.itlnc White
head, who had won the senior sculls the samo
day from Dr. MuDowell, iu n msti Ii race at tho
Point of Pluos, literally rowing rliius around the
senior tUiiniinon,
By this time tho oarsmen had begun to hear
that tho Wucbusctta Club had a wonder a
regular world beator, Young Ten Kyck lmd
won all his races with ndluiloug cat-c. His
father, who was ono of tho fastest professionals
in this country for half a mile, hail novor liecu
ablotokeopalongsfdaofthoboy from the first
stroke, and a trlul mile shown alono oue day wus
so fast that not even tho natch holder would
credit tho time.
It was determined to try the boy out after the
match raoo with Whitehead and see if he really
bad a rhanre to land tho diamond sculls at Hen
ley, Bo, accordingly, theWathusctt Club got
tbo elder Ten Kick to arrange a trial for two
miles, with profelonal nnd othor oarsmen to
take young Ten E)ck along foi ouch half mllo.
Joke Qaudaur and Frcxl Plaisted assisted
In the trial, as well as Joe Whitehead,
whom young Ten E)ik had previously
beaten. Whltchoud took liiin tho first half mile,
his father the second half, PJuisted the third,
and Gauduur the final. The only man who lived
with him was tho champion, Claudnur, and tho
pair come homo noon nnd nosn. The Unions
so fast that the watch holder refusud to tell nny
one but the bo) 'a father, but It was admitted
that the two-mllo record wus cracked all to
That settled the question of sending the boy
abroad. Tno Wachuaett Club bent all its ener
gies last winter to getting tho necessary funds
together, andonly waited until spring to see If
tbs boy stlU had bis speed, to enter him at Hen
jay. They borrowed th father from th
Worcester Rowing Club to act as trainer, which
was an easy matter, for all Worcester believed
and believes young Ten Eyck can best tho
world. Tho rest of court o Is history.
Young Ten Eyck's amateur status was ques
tioned ln England, and many claimed and wrote
that he was a professional Oarsman. While It Is
true he comes of a family of professional water
men, the boy himself Is a simon-pure omatour
under the strictest Interpretation of the rules.
Ho still attends a collogo ln Worcester, anc" has
neverdoneastrokaof work for pay ln his lite,
his father and grandfather paying all his bills
up to this trip abroad, whero naturally hi club
foots the expenses.
That with his ancestry young Ten Eyck may
some day turn professional Is quite on the cards.
His father and grandfather, however. Insist that
he must first finish his education and be pro
pared to meet business men on a business foot
ing. At the same time his father thinks with
ono more year or two added to his growth his
son will be ablo to outrow the professional
champion, and capture all tho records from a
mile to three miles.
Already oarsmen hall him as the rowing
wonder of the world, and those who know his
history say: "Is It sny wonder he can row I
His grandfather winner of seventy-five races;
his father the holdor of the half-mile record,
and his godfather Edward Hanlan."
Young Ten Eyok weighs 102 pounds, and la 0
feet 0 Inohes tall. Ho measures 40 Inches around
the chest.

Bristol, England, July 10. The cricket
match between the Gloucestershire oleven and
the Gentlemen of Philadelphia was resumod to

persons present. Gloucestershire yesterday
scored 830 for nine wickets. W. Q. Grace
batted four hours for 118 runs, and G. L. Jessop
hit terrifically for 101. To-day they Increased
the total to 803 runs. The Americans
made a good start, but their total ot
181 necessitated a follow-on. The feature ot
the ploy was the batting ot G. S. Patterson. He
was at the wickets three hours ln the first
inning for a faultless tlfty-nlne, not out. He
continued on ln tho second Inning, and added

Maurice Daly surprised even his most ardent
admirers last night ln the fourth game, and what
eventually proved to bo tho wind-up, of hU
match with Hugo KerUau, the champion of Ger
many, by racing away with 300 points ln easy
fashion ln ten Innings, making his scoro 1,600 to
tho German's 038. It was then agreed to closo
the match then and thcro.
Daly's play was brilliant and ho went at the
most dlfllcull shots with n dash and confidence
that recalled the times when Daly was a king
pin among the cushion carrom experts,
In the high run ot 123 Daly dis
played wonderful cuemanshlp, clicking oil
point after point by the most dolloato
nursing and clever rail work seen during the
match, and the largo crowd present applauded
loudly when the scorer announced 123 for the
veteran. He ufterward followed this up with a
line run of 00. His other hl-h runs wcro 37
uud 3U. , ,
Kcrkau, who smilingly accepted tho result,
plftyid a good game, too, and made ono very
pretty run ot 31, that consisted entirely ot dilll
cult rail pluy, which the youngster seems to be

The managers of the Metropolitan Association
transacted a lot of "late" business at their
meeting on Thursday night at the Astor House.
In addition to the tacts printed ln Tub Son yes
terday several matters were disposed ot ln tho
" wee una' hours."
Owing to tho passogo of a new amendment by
the Amateur Athletlo Union each association Is
now entitled to six delegates to tho paront body.
It was necessary for the board to elect throo del
egates. Bartow 8. Weeks of the New York A.
C James J. Frawley of tho Knickerbocker A,
C and John P. Boyle of the Pastime A. C. wero
nominated for tho positions and unanimously
elected.
The resignation of Charley 'White from the
Board of Managers was read at the meeting and
accepted with regret.
P. J. Corlev, who has been competing lately
for tho Knickerbocker A. C, was protested by
the Now West 81de A. O., as he had not obtained
his releaso from that club. Asa result he will
bn unable to compote for any club but tho New
West 81do A. C. until Feb. 12. 1898.
Tho C. F. Hamilton-Williamsburg A. A. case,
which has been tried and rc-tr!ed, was brought
up again on an appeal. Tbo case was brought
to a sudden end by the following motion, n bach
was passed unanimously:
That th Wliliamsbora A. A. be advised of the re
ceipt and consideration or their communication, and
that It ta the sense of th board that Inasmuch as Mr.
Hamilton, according to their own statement, was
dropped from membership tn the W. A. A. and
subsequently paid hi Indebtedness to that asso
ciation without any request that he be reinstated,
w do not consider tbt they hd any right
to reinstate him of their own motion and thereby
canseblmto Incur additional indebtedness to their
association! that Mr. Bamllton wa entitled to con
sider hluuelf freed from membership In the W. A. A.
when h was dropped, and freed from any farther
obligation to the asaoolatlon when he paid the $3 for
the non-payment ot which be had been dropped.
It was erroneously given out yesterday ln the
report of the meeting that the Ben Hur Ath

although a very fine club ln many particulars,
did not come up to the requirements for mem

Brtioa Cnunon, N. J July 10, Nearly the
entlro congregation ot the German Lutheran
Church ot Watsesslng gathered to-night in the
ofllco of Justice of tbo Peace ltoger Buttcrworth
ln East Orango to defend thoir pastor, the ltev.
Samuel Lutz. Mr. Luts was charged wih as
tault and battery upon a boy of fourteen. Nicho
las M. Hnmhagcr, a member of tho church, was
also charged with having chastised tho plain
tiff. The German Lutheran Church of Watsesslng
Is near the Blootnflold line and Its congregation
is made up of workmen ln the bat shops and
factories. On Sunday evening, June IS. a dozen
boys ot the neighborhood selected the porch of
tho church as a rendezvous at which to discuss
tho organization of a baseball club. That a
service was ln progress within the church did
not check tho baseball enthusiasts. Mr. Ham
bager, a church oillcor, wcntTjut to remonMraio.
According to the plaintiffs story the assault
then took place. Of the baseball enthusiast all
ran auay except tho captain, Uoraard Holt,
agod 14. Mr. Uambagcr caught him. Holt
yelled for help and the minister Btopped his ser
mon to go to his deacon's assistance. Between
the two Holt was soon Induced to leave.
The following day half a dozen of the boys
wero arrested on charge of disorderly conduct,
and Justice of tho Peace Hall ot Bloomllold
fined them $2.60 each. John Holt, father of
Bernard Holt, then made the charges of assault
and battery against Mr. Uambager and tho
pastor.
At tho hearing to night Mrs. nolt, mother of
tho plalntilf , declared that her son iv as so badly
bruised apil beutnn by tlia minister that he uas
ln bed for three days and unablo to go to school,
"You're a liar," shouted o rnan In tho court
room, "He was playing ball lu front of my
houso tho next day."
"How do you knowl" queried a woman near
him, " ou wnre drunk that week."
Pastor LutiT admitted haviug struck young
Holt, but said the boy deserved all he pot, and
more. "Thla boy Is the leader of a bad gang."
said the pastor, "and they have frequently
made mo trouble- On Easter Sunday whllo I
was preaching this boy and a dozon others
citino into church and ant down ln a back seat
where they emoted cigarettes and whistled all
during the service. The night I struck him
these boys had been standing ouuldo the church
singing nnd throwing stones through the win
dows. Somo of the stones were big ouos, but
lutUly they did nut hit uujbody. Then Mr.
Hnmbagcr went out to top them nnd they at
tneked him and kicked him. I went nut to help,
and hit Holt to make blm stop Mcklnc."
Justlco Buttcrworth held tho uilulter and
Mr. Hambagorundor $200 ball to await the ac

Havana, via ICoy West. July 10. Tho town
of Culabnzar, Sagun, Santa Clara province, was
attacked and captured by Gon. Francisco Car
rlllo during bis march to tho nest ns tho van
guard of Gen. Gomez's force From letters re
ceived from there It has becomo known that the
Insurgents sacked the town and that a well
known Spanish resident, Don Domingo Modlno,
who tried to check thorn, was hanged by order
of Gon Carrlllo. After tho town was plundered
and a large sum of money secured, the Insur
gents left It tocontlnuo their march to Matanzas
pro. Ince.
Twonty-four Spanish guerrllloros of the town
of Lucmndo de Guinea, ln the some province,
havo been hangod by tho Cuban loader, Anas
taslo Nunez, as a retaliation for murdors com
mitted by them ln a Cuban hospital.
Near Santa Clara city tho Spanish forces ot
Gen. Woyler assassinated Domingo Sarmlcnto.
a paclflco, 80 years old, two Cubnn women, nnd
nlno children. All these porsons, who lived In
tho country near tho town, refused to move Into
the placo, preferring death by tho Spanish bay
onets to that by hunger ln Santa Clara. Tho
Spanish column murdered them to frighten the
other paclilcos and make them obey tho ordor to
go to tho town. Nevertheless many other coun
try families refused also to move. Nearly every
day somo of them aro assassinated.
The war is now assuming such a sanguinary
character that all that has been reported of It
In past months polos before the present situa
tion. The Cubans, tired of suffering without re
venge, take a llfo in retaliation for every mur
der committed by the Spaniards among Cuban
prisoners and Cuban alok and wounded. It is a
war of extermination on both sides, Gon. Wey
ley, instead of modifying his system, has reiter
ated to tho columns his orders for massacre
without pity. Thoso Spanish Generals who aro
reluctant to kill the non-combatants fall Into
disfavor with the Captain-GancraL It Is said
hero that too much humanity was the reason
why Generals Fucnte and Pavla recently sailed
away to Spain, after having been ordered by
Weyler to relinquish their commands ln tho
Held.
Eev West, July 10. A letter received hero
from Gen. Adolf o Castillo, commander of part of
tho Cuban army ln tho province ot Havana, says
that tho attack inado by Castillo's forcos on July
4 on tho town of Santa Maria was Intended to
cclebrato tho anniversary of American Inde
pendence. After the insurgents captured the
town, the letter adds, msny Spanish residents
decorated their houses, of their own accord,
with the American flag. Tho grocery stores
gavo all their beer to tho Cuban soldiers for
drinking to tho Fourth of July, and tho whole
population was as enthuBiastlo and cheerful as
on a feast day. Gen. Castillo remarks:
"It was a unique spectaclo presented after
the Spanish flag was pulled down. Santa Maria
was full ot Cuban and American flags waving
together."

The State Department and the Jopaaese loca
tion Deny the Humor.
WAsmKOTOX, July 1U. While everybody in
Washington officially concerned is pooh-poohing
the reports about an offensive and defensive al
liance between Japan and Spain, it Is apparent
that the State Department has taken no means
to trace the rumors which havo been ln circula
tion. All other Governments follow with tho
closest interest every newspaper statement af
fecting them and endeavor to ascertain the real
truth ln the matter. Even reports ot a charac
ter so rldioulous as to prove on their very face
that they aro untrue are made the aubjoct ot
diplomatic Inquiry by representatives of foreign
countries. Nearly every Thursday, the regular
diplomatic reception day at the State Depart
ment, Secretary Sherman or bis subordinates
are asked as to tho truth or falsity of state
ments printed tn American newspapers relating
to foreign affairs. But the State Department,
through Assistant Secretary Day, merely says
that the department baa not been Informed ot
any such alliance and that it is believed to bo
untrue. Secretary Sherman's curious rcsponso
to an Inquiry, which may be Interpreted in sev
eral ways, was: "I cannot Inform you what
tho department has heard or knows."
Tho rumors ot a Japanese-Spanish alliance
haebcenln circulation a week or more, but
nobody has paid attention to them until to-day,
when tbo publication of tho story that tho
United States Embassy In Paris had recclvod a
confirmation of tho report start od gossip afresh.
A posltlvo contradiction of the report was given
at the Japanese Legation by one ot the attaches.
He mentioned as proof of his assertion that the
Spanish newspapers are quite bitter in accusing
the Japanese of giving aid to tho Phlllpptno Isl
and rebels. The attach6 said that the presenta
tion ot the Japancso Imperial Order of tho
Chrysanthemum to the little King of Spain had
no significance whatever.

"The relations between the two companies ijWJ 'vB
have long been unsatisfactory by reason ot the ,Wi 'ly'jH
