WeDD 10 capt raul BOyt0n Tor race IN tne
ocean, the former to swim with nothing on
but a light bathing costume, and the latter
to have the assistance Of his life-saving
dress, has been accepted. Boyton SAYS he
will cover twenty-five miles while Webb is
going twenty. This suits Webb who will
consent to Boyton's using his paddle, but
bars out the sail; and as J. G. Bennett
offers a purse of 81, 900 to have the race
come off at Newport, R. l., it will probably
be decided there this month.

The agitation in regard to second race
between the giants among the scullers of
the world does not abate, and there now
seems good prospect of match being
soon arranged. The champion now says
lat least the correspondent of the Herald
at Toronto, Ont, writes that he is author
lied by Hanlan to say for him) that he will
agree to row Courtney, either during the
latter part of September or early in Octo-
ber and, instead of adhering to the $40, 900
which he was stated to have fixed upon as
the smallest purse for which he would en-
gage in such a contest, he will receive pro-
posals up to noon Of Aug. % from such
places as may wish to secure the
race. and promptly. render his
decision. He says, also, that he
has an offer of $5, 900 purse, with prom
ise of an effort to raise $4,000, with $500 for
expenses, from Chautauqua Lake, and he
prefers that place to Saratoga Lake. as it is
an unknown course to both men. He is
also represented as agreeing that the tech
nical championship of America shall also
be included in the issue of the race. The
Canadian may have a preference for Chau-
tauqua, but the course at Saratoga is very
, fair, and all that an oarsman need know
| about it can be learned in few hours;
therefore, if the Saratogians should open
their purses as wide as required to fill the
bill, their greater superior facilities for feed
ing, housing and otherwise providing for
exceptionally large crowds of people, and
J the accessibility of Saratoga from various
large cities and populous districts, should
secure the race for "The Springs"
