PORTLAND VICTORIOUS.
The Amateur Scullers' Race at Boston.

The amateur scullers' race at Boston on
Monday was for three miles, with two prizes:
First, City of Boston cup, value 800; I'd, set
of Heenan's rowing machines, valued at $50.
The entries were eighteen, but only half that
number pulled out when the gun was fired.
Their order of position was as follows:-A. I
Eastabrook, No. l; W. N. Goddard, No. 2;
Geo. W. Clapp, No. 8; A. L. Hall, No. A.
A. Touchea, No 8; Geo. Lee, No. 6; John
Buckley, Portland No. 7; Patrick Burke, No.
s; and J. Fl. O'Nel No. 9.
At the start which was fine one, O'Neil,
who was on the outside, took the lead and got
seven lengths ahead, Burke, Buckley, Lee
and Touchea were side by side for the first
quarter of mile, when Buckley increased
his stroke and pulled away from his three
companions, and soon had clear water even
from O'Neil, who did some splendid work,
although before the upper stake had been
reached Goddard took the second place. Buck
ley and Goddard turned in quick succession,
but unfortunately for O'Neil, he made a
wrong turn and Lee slipped in and took the
position, which he kept through the remain
ing one and a half miles. As the boats APP
peared coming down the home stretch there
was great excitement, as Buckley and God
dard were Tapped and it was difficult to tell
who was the winner. As the line was neared
the prospect seemed to be that Goddard would
be victorious, and he was encouraged by the
plaudlts OF his friends at the Union boat
house, who rose up and cheered, but suddenly
Buckley bent to his oars, and with a magnifi-
cent squirt forced his boat across the line, at
least two lengths ahead of Goddard, and win
ming the race in 1922. Goddard's time was
29.22a, Lees 23.31a, and O'Neil's 1855. Clapp's
time was not taken, as he did not turn the
stake, although he rowed down the course
with the others and came in minute behind
