scull race Of the day bid fairly certain tt
occur and under very good auspices. A
faint breeze is blowing from the northeast
and there is a slight ripple on the water
but is not such as will in any way interfere
with the race or the making Of good time
il 1t Is in the oarsmen to accomplish it,
Hanlan reports himself as never feeling
better, and is popularity deemed the win
ner, barring accident, although those fami
liar with most Of the men promise that he
will not be pushed into making good time
Fifteen oarsmen are nominated for the
preliminary race and are placed as follows;
First heat, Hanlan, Mckay, Lee, Parker
and Braceland; second heat, Hosmer,
Plaisted, Riley, Teemer and Kennedy;

Elliot and Clator. The first heat is to be
rowed promptly at 10 o'clock. The sue.
ceedng ones in given order following. The
first and second men in each heat will join
| in decisive races at 4.S0 p. N for the first,
second and third prizes. Five or six OF the
men are urged as favorites, but in the close
presence OF the event this Is superfluous.
An audience OF nearly five thousand Is
present at this hour to witness the race.
The men took the water promptly at
1880 in the following order: Haulan,
first; Mckay, second; Lee, third; Parker,

well matched, with Lee leading slightly,
followed singly by Hanlon and Mckay,
while Parker had dropped two or three
lengths to the rear, with Briceland between
him and the leaders. The first four men
kept close to Hanlan's water till the mile
and one-half buoy, when Braceland kept
well on the lake.
The champion was frst to turn the buoy,
with Lee second, Mckay third, Parker
fourth and Braceland last.
Hanlan's time at the mile-and.a.half
buoy was ten minutesand fraction, which
was very good time in view OF the water,
which had become choppy under fresh.
ening breeze.
Upon the return voyage Hanlan kept
the lead, rowing easily, the others holding
in their relative positions, with Braceland
well in the rear. Hanlan passed the two
mile buoy in fourteen minutes and forty
five seconds. Lee was fifteen seconds be-
hind. Hanlan passed the two-and.a-half
mile buoy in eighteen minutes and two
seconds, taking it very leisurely, with Lee
closed in to one length, with Mckay two
lengths in his way and pulling apparently
very hsrd. Hanlan closed an easy finish
with handsome spurt, winning in twenty
two minutes and nineteen seconds, with
Parker second, Mckay third and Brace
land in the rear.
THE SECOND HEAT.
The men for the second heat were in
position Immediately after the first fin
ished, Riley taking water fully three Sec
onds after.the word had been given. The
start was made in the following ORDER
Riley, first; Teemer, second; Kennedy,
third; Hosmer, fourth; Plaisted, fifth.
Plaisted and Hosmer had sharp race for
the first mile flag, which was passed by
Hosmer slightly ahead, Riley and Teemer
close up and Kennedy falling rapidly to
the rear. The leaders pulled very evenly
for the turning buoy, Hosmer coming
around first, Teemer second, Riley
third, Plaisted fourth, Kennedy
in the rear. Hosmer's time to the
one mile and a-half buoy was ten minutes
and thirty seconds. Hosmer passed the
two mile buoy in 1880; Teemer, second,

ACCIDENT TO wEIsGERDER.
The word was given for the third heat at
1l:4e in the following orderI Hamm, first;
Weisgerber, second; Gandaur, third e.
liott, fourth, and Clator, fifth. Gandaur
sprang well to the front and passed the
mile at thirty strokes, and full two lengths
ahead Of Hamm. Clator steered very
badly, and alter taking Elliott's water was
crowded in by Weisgerber and Hamm, and
at the three-quarter buoy the three men
were 80 close together that Hamm was
compelled to cease rowing and Weisgerber's
shell was partly filled with water, while
three shells we're locked together.
Weisgerbsr stopped rowing and was
delayed fully one minute hailing out,
and, after proceeding short distance
further, Elliott also ceased rowing. The
two men then abandoned the race1 The
race between the remaining three men
was continued sharply, Hamm turning the
mile and half buoy first in 10 minutea
and forty seconds, Gaudaur and Clator
third. Clator again began to steer badly,
but kept in towards the shore.
The result Of the three heats makes the
starters for the decisive race this afternoon,
Hanlan, Lee, Hosmer, Teemer, Gaudaur
and Hamm.
THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
The Lake had a iorbidding appearance
when the time set for the deciding race
arrived, but despite choppin4 sea the
men were called out at $40 and took posi-.
tion as follows: Hanlon, first, Lee, second;
Hosmer, third; Teemsr, I. urtl; Gaudaur,
filth; Hamm, sixth. Hanlon and Hoe.
mer pulled sharply ior the lead.
Hosmer drew away strongly from Lee,
and crossing into the latter's water came
alongside Of the Canadian. Then toward
the mile flag they went at a racing speed,
Hosmer taking the water cleanly and strong
at every stroke, and for possibly half
mile keeping fairly in the lead Of Hanlan.
For brief period It appeared as though
the Bostonian was stalking his existence on
overcoming the great re ;E ssuller, and the t5e;
rowing they displayed, drove the spectators
who could glimpse Of the men into q
frenzy Of wild cheers.
Both men held to their course as true as
arrows, but as they approached the turn.
