THE RILEY.HASLAS RACE.

About $1,000 people attended the boa
race o.day. Hanlan took the lead at the
start and increased it as he pleased, win
ming by three.sixteenths Of mile, in 81
minutes 2 10 seconds. Riley's time wa.
81 minutes 2ls seconds. Hanlan havinl
won the toss, surprised every one by
choosing the Washington side OF the
course, the Virginia side having been
his choice in the previous race. This
change was made, it is said, with desire
to accord Riley whatever advantage there
was in having the Virginia side.
At ak o'clock the oarsmen backed into
position, and few minutes later were
given the word "go." Their oars seemed
TO catch the water simultaneously, and
both struck out al q terrific pace, Suddenly
after taking half dozen strokes, Riley
stopped, losing full boat length. The
cause was not known till the race wa
over, when 1t was learned that he had
broken one OF his iootstraps. Though he
lost but two strokes, the gain that Han.
Ian secured he was never able to recover
from, and the race from the start 70 the
finish was virtually stern chase.
Both pulled at the start forty strokes 10
the minute, but at the first flag Hanlan
had dropped to thirty.six and Riley To
thirty.eight. Atthe half.mile flag Han
Ian was leading by two open lengths, and
evidently rowing well within himself. His
steering was iaultless throughout the race,
while Riley evinced much nervousness,
and lost several lengths by his wild steer.
ing. At the mile flag Hanlan led by three
open lengths, pulling thirty-two strokes
to the minute, while Riley pulled thirty.
six, putting into each stroke all the force
he could command.
A short distance further on Hanlan
stopped rowing and deliberately dipped
sponge In the river with:which he leisure,
ly moistened his head and face, allowing
Riley to come up length or more. This
operation he repeated q half dozen times
during the race, but each time he instant
ly made up the loss on resuming his work
from the mile flag to the flag marking q
miles From the start Hsnlan preserved
an average lead Of about three open
lengths. An eighth OF mile from the
turn flag he quiokened his stroke, rowing
very fast 10 the turn, and rounding It
handsomely squared away for the finish
in II minutes and 81 seconds, all OF ten
lengths ahead OF Riley.
From this point 1t was simply ques.
ton OF how badly he would defeat his op.
ponent. Thu. h Riley p He'd pluckily 10
the finish, he could not close the gap be-
tween him and his antagonist who left him
as the successive flags were passed more
and more hopeless in the rear. Hanlan
crossed the finish line an easy winner OF
the race and pursed. When Riley reached
the finish Hanlan pulled over to his boat,
and victor and yanquish cordially shook
hands,
