_WON THE DIAMOND SOULLS.
Victory of the AmericanOver Blackstaflb,
the Crack English Oarsman, at Ben-
ley—Dr. McDowell \Vas Defeated
In “Below Record” Time.
Henley-on-Thames, July 17. —The
third day of the Henley regatta was
favored with beautiful weather. Light
breezes, generally up the course, blew
from the Bucks shore. In consequence
of the death of Lord Camoys, the late
president of this year’s '"regatta com-
mittee, many flags were floating at half
mast. ‘
In the final race for the Grand Chal-
lenge cup New college, Oxford, beat the
Leander club by two feet.
This was the event of the regatta.
The race was highly exciting, and the
spectators everywhere showed the most
intense interest. At the finish the two
boats were so close that the exact re-
sult was not known until the judge an-
nounced the time, which was 6m. 51s.
The ninth trial heat for the Diamond
sculls was won by H. T. Blackstaffe of
the Vesta Rowing club, who beat Dr.
McDowell of Chicago. The winner had
the Berks shore. '
Blackstaffe won by one and a quarter
lengths. His victory was very popular.
He was greeted with shouts of “Good
old England!” The result increased the
belief of the Englishmen that he will
ultimately defeat Ten Eyck.
McDowell’s Defeat.
McDowell and Blackstaffe started off
together and in fine style. At the top
of the island McDowell was leading by
a quarter of a length, rowing a 38 stroke
to the minute against Blackstaffe’s 40.
This lead he maintained until they had
passed the quarter mile stake, when
Blackstaffe forged forward and pushed
the nose of his boat to the front. At
the Rectory Blackstaffe led by half a
length. At the half mile stake, which
the former reached in 2 minutes 54 sec-
onds, the Chicagoan appeared done up.
A little later Blackstaffe ran against
the piles and McDowell gained some,
but it did him no good. In his excite—
ment he caught a crab, and at the three-
quarters distance stake Blackstaffe was
a length ahead and rowing easily. He
kept this lead without much effort, as
McDowell did not seem to have any
“go" left. The mile stake was passed
in 6 minutes 20 seconds. Blackstaffe
was then 11/4 lengths ahead, and from
that point to the finish the contest was
a procession.
Blackstaffe beat the record—time, 8m.
34 1—55.
After the race McDowell said to a
correspondent: “I shall come again next
year and every year until I win. After
I caught the crab, I lost my gait and
could not pick it up. Mr. Blackstaffe
rowed in great form. Anyway, I was
within the record.”
Ten Eyck SVins Aga
The tenth trial heat for the Diamond
sculls was won by E. H. Ten Eyck of
the Wachusett Boat club, Massachu-
setts, who beat B. H. Howell (Ameri-
can) of Trinity Hall, Cambridge. The
winner had the Bucks shore.
Ten Eyck got away promptly, rowing
easily, and when the top Of the island
was reached he led Howell, both rowing
a stroke of 32 to the minute. The
Massachusetts oarsman led throughout.
Evidently he had Howell’s measure-
ment. The half mile stake was reached
in 3 minutes 5 seconds. Ten Eyck was
then a. length ahead, and though How—
ell spurted gamely, he could not over-
take the leader. But it was a close
race, Ten Eyck winning. by half a
length in 8 minutes 36 seconds, which,
prior to Blackstai‘fe’s achievement this
morning, was record time.
The three-quarter stake was reached
in 4 minutes 49 seconds, and the mile
stake in 6 minutes 27 seconds.
Ten Eyck’s victory was received in
silence. He has prejudiced Henleyites
against him by his alleged secret trials'
and by the suspicion Of professionalism.
Howell, however, whom everybody
knows to be an American, was en-
couraged by applause, cheers and wild
yells from the start to the finish.
In the final race for the Visitors’
Challenge cup, Trinity college, Ox—
ford, .beat Jesus college, Cambridge.
In the. final race for the Thames
Challenge cup,.the crew of the Kings-
ton Rowing club beat the crew of
Christchurch, Oxford. ,
In the 'final for the Ladies’ Challenge
plate, the Eton college eight, of which
crew the son of William Waldorf Astor
is a member, beat the eight of Em-
manuel college, Cambridge.
The final for the Stewards’ Challenge
cup was won by the Leander club, who
beat New college, Oxford.
Ten Eyck the Champion.
Ten Eyck won the final for the Dia-
mond sculls, beating Blackstaffe. He
had the Berks station.
Ten Eyck got away first, slightly in
advance of Blackstaffe, an advantage
which he nevcr lost. Half way up Tem-
ple island he led- by a quarter of a
length, at the Rectory by a full length,
whore Ten Eyck tried to take Black-
staffe's '1'." 'i', but. was driven out.
Ton Eyck. measuring his man, now
adopted the tactics of keeping put a
length ahead all the time and using no
more effort than was necessary.
The umpire said he reminded him Of
Hanlan. He rowed beautifully. At the
half mile he was using 30 strokes to the
minute, but he started at 34 as against
Blackstaffe’s 39.
There was only one solitary yell to en-
courage Ten Eyck, while 'a continuous
roar of cheers rose from both banks for
Biackstaffe.
At Fawley COurt boathouse Black-
staffe seemed to be suffering frOm the
- effect of the fast first quarter, but he
was still making a. splendid race. The
half mile was reached in 3m. 8s.
The three-quarters stake was reached
in 4m. 40s., when Ten Eyck led Black-
staffe byva length and a half. The mile
was passed in 6m. 22s., Ten Eyck lead-
ing by two lengths.
Then Blackstaffe made a spirited at-
tempt to collar his rival, who was'now
fairly in the Bucks water, though he
started from the Berks station. But
though the wild encouragement of the
crowd spurred on the Vesta man, it was
useless, for the Worcester bOy had his
measure and maintained his position,
winning by two lengths.
Ten Eyck's'time was 8m. 35s.
THORN ONCE MORE IN COURT.
Bail, Jurisdiction. and the Right to See
.. ' Evidence Argued.
New York, July 17.—Martin Thorn,
‘the alleged murderer'of William.Gul-
densuppe, was produced before Justice
Truax in the supreme court, special
\term, part two, today on a, writ of
habeas corpus obtained by his counsel
yesterday afternoon. Thorn arrived at
the courthouse in the custody of a
keeper of the Tombs. He was brought
down Elm street, walking, .and a crowd
followed him into the small courtroom.
At 11 o’clock Howe, his counsel, walk—
ed in withthree attaches of his office.
" A moment afterward Assistant District
Attorneys Mitchell and Rosalsky came
in. Counsel for the prisoner, in his ar-
gument, said that Thorn had been
brought before Judge Truax charged
with murder. He had been. committed
to the city prison under peculiar cir-
cumstances. He had been arraigned
before a magistrate and the case post-
poned. During the time of postpone-
ment the grand jury, “by one fell
swoop," had taken the case out of the
magistrate’s hands and found an in-
dictment against him for murder. The
defendant, who the law says is entitled
to be confronted by his accuser, had
been denied the privilege of knowing
what had been alleged against him.
The next peculiarity was that. the in-
dictment was a. “mass of confusion.”
It‘charged the prisoner with an Offense
committed in another county, but to
warrant the indictment charges an-
other separate crime in this county.
The assistant district attorney inter-
rupted him to say that these arguments
were those put forward in the demur-
rer. The .question now, he said, was
whether Thorn should be admitted to
bail.
Mr. Howe answered that the matter
of jurisdiction was a part Of the argu—
ment. He went on to argue that the
judge of the supreme court had power
to admit to bail in all cases. In refer-
ring tO a precedent, the Van Horne
case, Mr. Howe said it had been held
that such a judge could look into the
-evidence before the grand jury to see
the character of it.
Thorn, he said, had submitted to the
court that he did not believe any evi-
de ce had been given against him. The
district attorney, he said. is the only
person who knows what this testimony
is. ‘
Assistant Deputy Mitchell, in his an-
swer, said he would not discuss the
question of the grand jury evidence, as
that had been decided in a lower court.
Both sides submitted briefs, Thorn per-
sonally signing the brief. The prisoner
was led back to the Tombs, followed
by a crowd.
The report of M. F. Clap-ton, superin-
tendent of the Citizens’ Water Supply
company Of Newton, was made today
to the district attorney. It was in re—
lation to the examination of the water
meter in the house in which Gulden-
suppe is supposed to have been killed
at Woodside. ‘
The report shows that during the six
weeks the house was supposed to have
been unoccupied something like 10,000
gallons Of water were used.
Mr. Rosalsky said the report is strong
evidence that something unusual took
place in the house.

is assuming a serious phase in this dis-
trict. While several of the operators
have agreed to pay the advance asked,
the miners generally have concluded to

remaining out until the strike is ad-

works will close down inside Of a week
unless some adjustment is made. The
Peacock, the largest mine here, closed
down'yesterday. Mines on .the West
Virginia side are in operation at an ad-
vance. A general meeting will be held

shut down in the district will be com-
