The AnaIOstan. Undiue Boat Race

DEFEAT OF THE wAsHINGTONIANS.
The return race of the AnaloStan Boat Club,
of this city, with the Undines of Baltimore.
was rowed on the Patapsco river, south Balti-
Potomac, the AnalostanS beat the Undine.
Yesterday, on the PatapScO the UndineS de-
feated the Analostans. Every point along
shore from which a view of the race could be
obtained was packed with human beings, while
all the steamers on the river for the purpose
of accommodating those who wished to witness
every description crowded the river. Great
interest in the result of the race was felt both
here and in Baltimore. A large number of
Washingtonians went over TO witness the con
test. The course, one mile and a half and re-
turn, lay directly across the PatapscO from the
the Baltimore side to the Anne Arundel shore
The AnaloStans won the loss for position, and
took the outside, or the one furthest from the
Shore. Both crews appeared to be in excellent
trim, the AnalOStanS seeming the heaviest
The Undines looked fresher than the AnaloS-
tanS, who appeared to be either overturned
or improperly trained. The crews took up
position at the starting flag, amid cheers. At
GA the word go was given. The Analostans
strokes to the minute. They soon got lead of
the undine of two boat lengths or more Be
lore the turning point was reached they had
considerably Widened the gap between the
two boats. They lost their vantage, however,
by wild and crooked steering, the bow run
ming the boat out of the. course. Both crews
rounded the flags on the return home about
even. The bow of the Undine crew now did
more wild steering, but his crew nevertheless
drew we'll ahead. The AnaloStans, who ap-
peared to flag, were aroused by Washington
cheer. They spurted and went ahead. The
undIneS now took a turn at squirting. They
were off their course but kept straight on At
the commencement OF the last half mile of the
race the stroke gave them 40 a minute and
again they took the lead. The AnaloStans
tried to rally, but with the exception of the
stroke were unable to pull vigorously. The
boat four lengths ahead of the Analostans
No official time was kept. The Analostans
time was 20:5413 and the Undines were not
recorded. There was great cheering at the
finish: The Undine crew was, with one excep-
ton, the same as that which was beaten by
the ,AnalOStans on the Potomac last year.
