The second race, for which there were four en-.
ti1es, brought the ArRonautas. OF Bergen Points
the Gramercies, OF New York, and the Argonauts,
OF Toronto, Canada into line. The yernons, of
savannah, not having a pair-oared boat. were
Withdrawn. The start was an even one, all three
boats getting on together. In the first couple or
hundred yards the ArgonauJas obtained slight
lead on the Gramercles, who were making
the Canadian crew row pretty lively to keep

Lambe and LangtOn DO not appear to be well
mated for pair-oared rowing. Their styles are
