The Championship of America at Sara
toga Lake.
Saratoga, August 2S.-The single
scull race over three-mile mile course,
with turn, on Saratoga lake, for purse
of S500-given by John Morrissey-add-
ed to three entrance fees of 500 each
and the championship of America, took
place this morning. Charles Z. Court
ney, of Union Springs; James Riley,
Staten Island, and Fred. X. Plaisted,
New York, were the contestants. Pools
were sold on Courtney even over Riley
and Plaisted, and bets were made at
odds that Plaisted would beat Riley.
At 11:23 the signal was given, and
the men took water together, settling
down to SO strokes each per minute.
Courtney passed the half mile ahead,
leaving Plaisted half a boats length in
advance of Riley. Plaisted then got
out of his course and ran afoul of Riley
twice, and they reached the turning
point nearly together, Courtney SEEM
ing fresh and cool. Riley got on the
return course first. Before reaching
the half mile on the return Plaisted
gave up, but when the referees boat
reached him he declined assistance.
Courtney and Riley kept on, Courtney
gaining a slight lead after passing the
mile stake, which he kept to the end.
He reached the starting boats three
lengths ahead of Riley, il, 20:479, and
landed seemingly fresh and free from
fatigue. Riley protested, being fouled
by Plaisted, but the referee gave the
race to Courtney.
