but who displayed his metal by having
place in the final struggle yesterday, but
failed to keep up with either Hanlan, Hos

water. To-day, in what has been termed
the consolation race" open to all but the
three leaders of the day preceding, he COW

fourteen seconds, thus lowering Courtney's
record of twenty minutes and fourteen and
a malt seconds, and upon which his reputa-
ton has been built.

| early with Riley second, and Elliott third.
| the latter pulling a stroke OF thirty-slx to
| the minute.

Elliott, who dropped out Of the race. Lee
| then forged ahead and turned the mile and
a halt buoy first in 9:l5, Gaudaur second,
| with Teemer, Riley, Mckay and Plaisted
| in the order named.
At the mile and three-quarter BUOY Eee
makes claims that Gaudaur fou,Gl I'm,
| and from that on, his chance for the hcst
| place was gone. Gaudaur pushed ahead
