The match between Hanlon and Hawdon
was made last November, after Hawdon de-
feated Lumsder, when articles were signed
to row on the above course for 81 900 side
Hawdon, on account of his previous victo-
ries, at once became the favorite in the bet
ting and it was not until Emmett's defeat
by Wallace Ross that the betting changed.
All through his training Hanlan has met
many drawbacks from sickness, but was to-
day IN perfect condition and sound at one
hundred and sixty-three pounds. Haw-
don's condition was excellent. He has
trained hard for the race, and to-day
weighs one hundred and sixty pounds
Both contestants were on the course early
this morning for short spin.
The interest in the race drew together
great crowd, and though there was some
speculation on the result, there was but
little betting. 1t was nearly 2 o'clock be-
fore the men appeared at the starting point.
An even start was made and an exciting
struggle ensued. Hanlan gradually drew
ahead. and won the race by 81 lengths,
amid the greatest excitement.
