HANLoS DEFEATS ELLIOTT IN THE GREAT BOAT |
RACE.
NEW CASTLE oN-TYNE, June l6.-A start was
made from the point off Mansion House. The
weather was fine, though dull, and the water
was beautifully smooth. There was an i'm
mense concourse of spectators and ~ steamers
laden with passengers followed. Five to two
on Hanlon had been laid during the morning,
but he came into much better favor just prior
to the start. Elliott won the toss and took the
northern shore. After some delay the men
at l2:l5, got off to a capital start. Hanlon
dashed in with a stroke at the rate of AZ to the
minute and at once drew to the front. Elliott
struck at the rate of 40 to the minute, and ex-
erted all his enormous strength, but splashed
now and then and his boat did not travel well.
Hanlon got a lead of four lengths at the Red
Heugh bridge, the time for the mile being
6:ll1z, the Canadian leading by five lengths.
Hanlon now slowed down and contented
himself with keeping the advantage, and
eventually won very easily by eight lengths
in the good time of 2l .0l. There was an enor-
nous crowd at Scott's wood who cheered
Hanlon to the echo. The sporting reporters
say that such performance as that of Hanlon
to-day has never been seen in British waters
After the race Hanlon, accompanied by Col
onel Shaw and several Canadian supporters,
welcomed by large concourse of people. In
response to repeated calls Hanlon appeared at
the window of the New Castle Chronicle Office
and thanked the people very warmly
for their kindness. He highly complimented
Elliott for his invarlable courtesy. Colonel
Shaw also addressed the crowd. Both were
loudly cheered. In the evening, at a concert
in the New Castle Town Hall, a splendid
diamond ring was given to Hanlon on behalf of
a number of ladies and gentlemen of New
castle. Hanlon who was received with cheers,
said he had that day encountered one OF the
best scullers he ever met. Elliott said he was
satisfied no man in England could beat Han
lon. He (Elliott) would row any man in the
world, barring Hanlon, for f2O0 a side.
match has been arranged between Elliott
and Robert Boyd, on the Tyne, for s2OO a side,
to take place four months hence.
WESTON IN THE LEAD.
LONDON, June 16 While on the track yes
terday Ennis was seized with a cramp in his
stomach and may be considered as having
retired. The affair is now virtually match
between Brown and Weston, as Harding was
| only on the track for half an hour during the
night and is looking very queer. at o'clock
| this morning the score stood: Weston, 127
| miles and 3H laps; Brown, l26 miles and 81
laps; Harding, SO miles; Ennis, 20 miles and IA
laps.
