The conditions prevailing for the Bant Raze were very similar to those experi ened on the previous day, as had been prophesied by the weather-wise watermen along the riverside. There was a strong northerly wind blowing, and though the Faltam kimbankment protected the reach to a certain extent while the tide was down the roughness increased rapid." ly as it rose.
A glance up the Putney reach, with white "beads on the river. made one realiser that the spin of a com meant which I made up my mind, then that the only possible chance the Surrey hont had was to paddle in quietly straight behind Middlesex and hug the Fulham Embankment as closely as possi. ble. 1 is perfectly useless to my to: raze with a boat, full of water.

Before Judge M. D. Purdy at the U.Sh. Court, Shanghai, on April 27th, a motion was made by Mr. C. S. Franklin to re- penthetase brought by T. C. Long (trading as Long & Co.) quinst the 15.950 alleged to be a deposit which the Ada Banking Corporation to recover bank claims to have paid out on a cheque of which Long denies any knowledge.
Mr. Franklin, for the defence, read his motion asking for the re-opening of the case for the purpose of taking additional and material evidence and that n dedimus potestatem issue be directed to the US Consul-General in Hongkong in examine Charles Alexander Hooper tef Messrs. Johnson, Stokes & Master) and Juman Ali under oath as witnesses, ax well as two affidavits, one, by› counsel "hin- sell andone by Mr. R. T.

During the course of the proceedings: the Jadge remarked that the evidence was of such a character that it necessarily involved the plaintift. Mr. Lee saying that the cheque had been brought to him and left with him for a whole day by Mr. Long whereas the Hongkong lawyers said that this could not have been so, as the Cheque had only left their hands in the possessiim of a reliable servant for a few hours,
Mr. Bryan, Jr.. for the plain tif. said that his client had been out of town and it would he necessary to .". have a conference with him. He did not know what witnesses he would have to

No eight, rowing the pace they were going, would have survived the seas with- out shipping a great deal of water, and it looked like the finish then.

At the upper end of the amt bankment the Light Blues led by some three lengths, with the Dark Blues boat obviously dragging under the weight of water they had aboard. The Cambridge Coxswain hugged the Middlesex shore or close as he dared, and Oxford, how follow- ng in their wake, though not quite no close in, were losing ground rapidly. The big steamers following made themselves a nuisance by running up past the umpire's launch nearly level with Oxford, though well out in the centre of the river. Mr. Pitinan had to remonstrate severely with their skippers before they would slow down at all. It was a thoughtless pince of work to say the least, and a little more would probably have made the umpire call the rden off; in fact, he actually threatened to do so.
