CHARLES E. COURTNEY has long been
known as the man without heart. An
oarsman of unquostioned ability, he al
ways weakened on the day set for race
and funked. His friends always insisted
he was unfortunate and impartial per-
SONS acknowledged he was cowardly. He
was the only man who caused Hanlan
trouble and the latter admitted that on
the occasion of his beating Courtney, he
was forced to expeRd every bit of skill he
had, and that he reached the starting
point blind with exertion. In later
match between the two, it was found on
the morning of the day fixed for the race
that Courtney's boat was sawed in two,
and it was generally believed that he had
done it himself fearing to meet Hanlan.
But Courtney redeemed himself on Fri
day last making the fastest time on rec
ord, 8 miles in the unprecedented time
of 10 m. 81 8. It was a desperate race
between himself and Lee, the former
reaching the turning buoy Just onehalf
second in advance of his opponent and
beating him only by one length. The
men were ''neck and neck" Throughout
the race, but Courtney's muscle and skill
gained him the victory.
