American Eight Defeated On Seine

In the final heat of the International Regatta held on the Seine Sunday, the New Zealand eight defeated the American crew by a final sprint in the last fifty yards of the race. The contest was very close throughout, and the two boats were separated by only a few inches most of the course. In addition to the New Zealand and American crews, New-foundland, France, Portugal, and AlsaceLorraine were represented.

The American eight was composed of oarsmen from the University, Cornell, Yale, Washington, and the University of California. The two representatives from the University were Lt. Thomas Jefferies '16, and Captain Harry Cabot '17, who rowed for three years on the University crew, captaining it his final season.
