crowd spent a delightful time in
the woods AT $3.50 the junior single scull
was called up, and Baker, the Galveston oars
man responded; Shields, his oppo-
nent, failing to put in AZ appear
sncc, Baker rowed over the course
and claimed the prize awarded him by the
referee. Shields gave as an excuse that he
was sick and the shell he had would live
in the water. The course was of mile
and return, Baker rowing it in minutes
and 80 seconds. The barge race followed,
and was rowed in minutes and 35 seconds,
and WIS won by the New Orleans club after
a desperate struggle, There is dispute
about this race and it may require to be
rowed over, ms it is claimed that the New
| Orleans club crew turned inside of the stake
boat, aud had it not been for this advantage
the Galveston crew it is claimed would have
won the race. In the single scull contest
Mumford took the lead from tie start, pull
ing good, strong, steady stroke, and beat
ing Crottv essly. Time, ';35. Crotty
steered wildly from the start, aud got con
sderably out OF his course. He did not
round the turning stake but turned inside
He admitted, we are informed, on the way
back to the city that he WIS over-matched
and could not beat Mumford. McGee was
the victor in the walking match, walking Il
miles. Wiley Haynes, the man who was
stabbed by Hogan is in II very critical condi
ton.
