THE RACE
The boats in the pair cared were got OF with good
start the Argonautas showing 70 the front IN the first
hundred yards with the Mutuals close upon them and
the Beayerwycks third Passing the HERALD tower the
Mutuals dropped out leaving the fight be fought out
by the Argonautas and the Beaverwycks Eldred was
doing heavy rowing and laboring hard for good
lead, and the Albany boys were close on them and
steering better course When the first half mile was
rowed Smith, Of the Argys, steered toward tho
shore, not being satisfied in which location the
mile and half buoys were laid he had sufficient lead
at the time TO Interfere with the other competing
boat. The Beayerwycks were pulling a splendid
stroke, and before the mile stakes were reached
had essened four clear boat lengths TO half the dis
tance. The Bergen Pointers turned their stake in ex
actly ten minutes from the start with the Beayerwycks
few seconds behind them. The home well con-
tested, the Argys holding their own up to the mile,
when the Beaverwycks began to crowd up and lessen
the gap. When opposite the HERALD tower the Albany
lads put on splendid squirt and drew their bow almost
on level with the stern OF the ArgonautasL Eldred
then crowded all speed drew ahead little and passed
the score a winner by little over length.

As soon as the Argonautas had crossed the
there general rush for home, and the occupants
of the grand stand tumbled into the carriages with
wonderful CELEBRITY Tho races not quite
soon on Tuesday; but all managed get
home by quarter 10 two, in good time for their
Congress water and subsequent dinner. Tomorrow
will be the grand day, and everybody in Saratoga
will turn out to witness the contest between the
tour-oared shells 1t will certainly be remarkable
race, such good lot OF amateur crews have
come together before. The Argonautas appear to be
pretty good favores, but the Atalanas Mutuals and
Beaverwycks have each number of hackers. There
grand rush last night for the Evening Telegram,
people thinking there was panic in Wall street, but
they could hardly believe their eyes when they read
