sterling. came of to-day, and was won by
Hanlan in his usual style. Tho race was
a mere procession from the start to the
finish. Hanlan rowed in splendid form
He estopped several times, allowing Trickett
to come up. A tremendous crowd oi
people witnessed the affair. The river was
perfectly still and the weather also favor
able. The Sp;rIstHGn this morning says:
BETS
on the Hanlan- -Thckett race represent in
the aggregate far greater sum than has
ever been dependent upon the result Of q
boat race. It is stated that the Marquis oi
Lorne, Goyernor.General OF Canada, has
given instructions TO have the result spec
tally telegraphed him. Sir Hercules Rob.
inson, who recently returned from Mel
bourne, Australia, will witness the race.
This morning Trickett was again
TIE FAvoRITE IN THE BETTING,
five TO four being taken on him and laid
to the extent Of G1,O0O; but before the
start Hanlan had taken the first place,
seven to four being freely offered on him,
and some wagers were made OF two TO one.
The weather was dull and the mist and
sir chilly. The start took place at l2:ll
o'clock, at which time the tide was nearly
full and the water slack and smooth
throughout Hanlan had the Surry side
Of the river.
A VERY EVEN START WAS EPFKCTED,
Hanlan striking water at the rate OF thir.
ty.five strokes to the minute, and Trickett
at the rate OF iorty.one. Hsnian rowed
easily and in perfect style, showing his
superiority from the first stroke. The
Grab Tree was passed in minutes and
seconds from starting. Here Trickett be-
gan to labor and look i'll, and by the time
the soap works were reached, the race was
absolutely over. Occasionally Hanlan
stopped rowing till Trickett came up, when
A FEW POWERFUL STROKES
would send him ahead again. Between
the hammersmith bridge and Cheswick
Hanlan laid down twice. He stopped en-
tirely once, and sgain padded along frst
with one swell and then with another.
He leaned over TO wash his face and chat
ted with Elliott, who was rowing along
side, and finally won BY about three
lengths, which he could have made hall
milei II he had so chosen. Time Of race
90 minutes and seconds. Trickett'S
form created great disappointment. He
was distressed at the finish, while Hanlan
was perfectly fresh.
AT the soap works the vast crowd
cheered vociierously. Haulan seemed de.

but single vigorous stroke with his left
oar put the boat straight again, and he
now demonstrated thst he con

easy work before him, for he sculled In q
literally :lazy style. When of Riifen's
boat house Hanlan treated the lookers.on
to some Of those remarkable maneuvres
which created such astonishment amongst
the multitude who saw him contend with
Hawdon on the Tyne, ceasing to row FOL
a moment, he leaned back in his boat
