judges have taken their positions.
SECOND DISPATCH.
ToRoNTo, July 3l.-Soon after Ross and
Hanlan were ordered to appear, each rowed
out from his boat house and looking the pic
ture Of health. At 8 o'clock everything was
ready. The judges were in position at the
starting point, and Sheriff Harding, referee,
called up the oarsmen to get in line. Bets of
5000 to $40 on Hanlan were offered on the
judges boat, but no takers.
By this time the wind had freshened, max
ing quite swell. Ross rowed up the course
not row. Edward Ross came on board
and said the water was too rough,
and thereupon the judge for Ross protested
that it was not perfectly smooth as the articles
of agreement specified. The referee said as
the matter was being taken out of his hands,
he would retire; would act no more, Great
excitement ensued, Ross hackers applauding
the decision, while Hanlan's hackers disap-
proved Of it. The referee made written
statement that the water was not perfectly
smooth, but that it was smooth enough for
boat racing, and that as Ross and Ross judges
had objected he had no resource but to retire.
Hanaa came to the judges boat and said if
Rosa would give him two lengths start he
would consent to row. Ross also came up and
said the starting boats were out OF range. A
general discussion took place. and the result
was postponement of the till this after
noon.
THIRD DISPATCH.

regarding referee, Sheriff Harding at last
consented to act, and rowing boat being in
readiness, he was soon taken on board the
Judges boat, and at 4 as she steamed down to
Tarryburn cove. The signal to come out was
ut once sounded, and in three minutes Ross
was in his boat. Hanlan appeared two min
utes later, and was received with loud cheers
boat At te oro O'clock on the men were
given instructions and ordered into line.
The water was in good condition when at sos
the men were sent off. Hanlan being inside,
Ross took the lead and struck out vigorously,
pulling 80. Hanlan followed 1T the same pace,
but pulling larger stroke he soon got even,
and before he reached Appleby's wharf had
passed Ross. Above the wharf Hanlan was
pulling 80, going along beautifully, Ross fol-
lowing al 81 strokes. Three hundred yards
from Applebys Ross boat seen to capsize.
and FOR moment it feared he had been
drowned. He was soon seen. however,
clinging to his boat and skiff went out and
picked him up. Ross says the spring of his
row lock worked out and he upset, breaking
the box of the boat. Hanlan, meantime. went
up the course, taking his time, however, and
went round the stake boat at 5:38. On his re-
turn he showed some fine rowing but did not
over exert himself. The accident did not ap-
pear to do Ross any harm. At the judges boat
he was very reticent, but feeling badly the way
he lost the race. He says the boat got in a
bad condition soon after the race started and
that he was watching the boat and not Hanlan.
General regret was felt at Ross misfortune,
but the prevailing opinion was that he was
overmatched.
The wharf is hree-quarters OF a mile from
the start. Hanlan was length ahead. Ross
struggled gamely while rowing during the con-
tinuance of the contest, but the accident to
Ross threw a damper over the days sport.
Hanls MS time to the scene of the accident was
about six minutes. Official time of the race,
1858.
An effort is being made to induce Hanlan
and Courtney to row on the Ottawa
river. Probably $4,000 will be offered.

of Newark, who invited the Shoes and their
substitutes to come to the Continental hotel,
Newark. and be their guests. The invitation
was promptly accepted. The Shoes were
also asked TO take part in the great Passaic
regatta, the 18th and 18th Of August,

party speak of the cold and business kind OF
reception they met with in England, and say
if Englishmen come here they would be more
kindly treated. The Shoes all look upon then
failure attributable to young Nadeau's sick
ness and his giving in during the race.
