their home water, the Italians were given the decision. The idea of having a photograph of the finish in future, in order to avoid controversy, was floated. Because of their four victories out of five, the Swiss were awarded the Glandaz Cup for a fifth time. July 13—17th 1924 — Paris Games of the Vlllth Olympiad The first three days were given over to eliminating heats. On July 16th, the repechages in three boat-classes (4 + , lx and 8 + ) took place. The weather was sunny. It was very hot, except for finals day, when the rain, which had fallen all the previous night, not only produced a big drop in temperature, but brought along a strong wind, putting certain stations at a disadvantage. There were almost no spectators along the course, and the stands were practically empty. For the first time, the FISA coun cil formed the appeal jury of the Olympic regatta.

Their energetic driving force, Hans Walter, formerly of Zurich, ended his competitive career on a glorious note, by winning his eighth gold medal (1911: 4 +, 1912: 4+ and 8 +, 1913: 4 +, 1920: 4+ and 8+ at the Euro pean championships; 4+ in 1920 and 1924 at the Olympic games). lx: 1. GBR 2. USA 3. SUI - AUS (Not rowed out) A bitter struggle developed between the famous Briton, Jack Beresford, who had reached the final via the repechage but who had a favourable lane, and the Aus tralian, Bull. The latter went into the lead with 200 metres to go, but was too exhausted to reach the line, and stopped. The American, Garrett Gilmore, was less than five seconds behind, whereas the Swiss sculler, Joseph Schneider, was outpaced. 2x: 1. USA 2. FRA 3. SUI 4.

FRA The European champions of 1922 and 1923, Candeveau and Felber, with la Chapelle as coxswain, narrowly scraped home ahead of the Italians, Olgeni and Scattu- rin (coxed by Sopracordevoie), who had been European champions in the 2-, four years previously. 4-: 1.
