"The Diamonds produced another blow for British hopes when Barry lost to the Argentine sculler, Demiddi; only at the Barrier, where Demiddi touched the boom, did Barry show in front, and he seemed to have no more than a token spurt up the enclosures before stopping short of the winning post, which resulted in the highly misleading verdict of easily. This, I fancy, must be the end of the road for Barry as an international hope." [The Times] "Barry led by a length at the ¼ mile and ½ mile, but by only ¼ length at the ¾ mile. Demiddi then made a fine effort and went ahead fast. He led by 1½ lengths at the Mile and 2 lengths at the 1 1/8 mile and won by 10 seconds." [HRR]
