If cousins cannot afford to shake hands over supremacy in athletic sports, then it were better that our relationship were dissolved. It was generally understood before the British rifle team arrived that they were the creme de là creme of the English marks men, and we suppose, per contra, that not been very diligent, and, relying on

past vic- tories more than present exertions, came to grief, as the saying is. As to the Hillsdales' defeat, not even the most ardent lover of England can claim a practical defeat for the American crew. They had the race well in hand and were leading by
