Boil, on the other hand, when at tipped
showed In svery limb and muscle his Wo-

mAnd and both took the water at the word.
Boil missed his frat stroke, but Clator
started of easily and gracefully, propelling
his boat with powerful strokes, while the
other man showed his immense strength
by the terrific manner in which his shell
shot forward, both watching each other
intsntly the while, So intense was the
interest in the race on either shore that
the crowds lining them almost forgot TO
give the customary yell Of Encouragement,
and only faint and scattering cheers in
cited tho giants TO make this the greatest
effort Of their lives.

a stroke, but quickly Iegainisg 1t be shot
out like a shark, leading ClStor slightly
for nearly 3 mile, but when Whisky lun
was reached 0lator shot ahead and led
Boil several lengths aud kept up his
lead until the buoy was reached. This
was turned by him about four lengths in
advance Of Boil, and crossing I'VE to
the Ohio shore he took BOLTS water,
increasing his lead until at Whisky Run
he was from o fourth to half q mile IN
advance, and then he began easing up
and talking 10 those on the shore, some
times nearly CeRsing his rowing entirely,
