The four-oafed boat race between the An

the Nassau Boat Club Of New York, three
miles straight away, came off on the Har-

Washlngtonians When. at 4 p M, they took

The Nassaus. who we're the favorites in the
betting 500 to $50, and the odds were
readily taken. At fortysix minutes past
five the word was given to get ready,
shortly followed by ''go away" and the
Nassaus blades first caught the water, lead
ing with thirty-seven strokes, followed by
the Washingtons with thirty-eight strokes.
The latter gradually crept up, increasing
their gait to forty strokes. and soon led the
New Workers. At High Bridge, about ono
mile from the start, the Washington crew
led by two lengths, and passing McCOmb's
dam had increased their lead to three
lengths.
A desperate struggle followed. and the
New York crew gained slightly ON the
Washingtons, but only moment1rily, - tho
champions of the Potomac kept the lead
and crossed tire line ahead Of the New
Workers, amid the Widest excitement Op
the part of the immense crowds on the river
banks and steamboats,, winning the race in
eight Ben minutes ffty-twO seconds. The
defeat of the Nassaus was heavy blow, as
it was supposed they would defeat their OPP
ponents easily. Washington and Baltimore
sports were in for large sums.
