THE BOAT RACE.
nANLAr DxrEArs kExxEDx BADL1.

The News Of the Day-Labor Trosblss and
Other Stirring incidents
of tho Times.
The match race, single SOULS, between
Edward Ranlan of Toronto, and John A..
Kennedy, of Portland, Me-, for $3.50 .
side, occurred yesterday afternoon, near
Boston, at Point of Pines, distance three
miles with turn. A smart rain just pre-
vious to the race, which it was feared
would make rough water and prevent the
race, had the opposite effect, and when the
men were called out a smoother course
was rarely seen on lake or river.
A start was effected at 6:34. and kcnne-
dy soon took slight lead, which he kept
during the first mile Hanlan, however,
keeping Kennedy well up to his mark. 1t
was pretty race for that distance. There
we're then fears of a foul, and indications
that both men were going out Of the
course. Hanlan was apparently the first
to discover this, and thereby gained sev.
eral lengths. BY this time Hanlan had
headed Kennedy, and he turned the stake
boat four or five lengths in advance.
After the first mile Hanlan evidently
had the race in his own hands, and after
turning the stake boat occasionally re.
duced his stroke to the minimum and
rowed ut ease, while Kennedy kept
nearly the same stroke throughout the
race.
Official time Hanlan, 1904; Kennedy,
1859 showing by computation that Han
Ian won by about 20 lengths. About
$500 people-witnessed the race. AS the
| men came from the water Hanlan was
greeted with hearty cheers and appeared
as though returning from practice spin
rather than from match race. Kennedy s
reception was less enthusiastic.
| After the race when Hanlan had donned
walking suit, he was followed to the
hotel and upon reaching the balcony
was lcudly cheered and called upon
to speak. He responded, saying
that he had upheld the record oi
honest oarsmen and of America, at home
and abroad, and was again ready to up
hold it. The oarsman he had rOwed
against to day was a perfect gentleman,
and it was the hardest race he had ever
rowed.
| Kennedy was asked if he had expected
to win. He said his defeat was unexpect
ed. He further said: "When left the
boathouse after rowing four or five strokes
I found something the trouble with my
sliding seat, which prevented me from
rowing more than three quarters of full
stroke. rowed an eighth Of a mile out
of my course, but, Notwithstanding this
I consider Hanlan the better man, and hal
ali my conditions been favorable, he wouli
still have beaten me although he woult
have been obliged to make record below
10 minutes to accomplish it."

A good story is told Of some iokinp
members of the st. Alban's commandery.
who, themselves, were fooled. Their
quarters were at the Stevens house, and a
number of them were in rooms on the
third and fourth floors. They brought
considerable champagne with them, which
was kept in their rooms. On Wednesday
evening number Of the members went
up stairs and began to amuse themselves
by letting down champagne from their
windows by strings tied to the necks Of
the bottles to number of members of
the commandery on the pavement below,
who were anxious to get at tho wine but
the fellows above would only let it down
to within few feet of their heads when
they would pull it up. On a lower floor
OF the house than that occupied by St.
Adams, and Immediately uuder them,
was another commandery. While sitting
in their room some of the members saw
these mysterious strings bobbing up and
down outside their window. They made
an investigation and discovered the prizes
on the end Of four strings. With their
knives they cut the strings and quietly
hauled the wine into their rooms, much to
the amusement of those on the pavement
and the disgust of those above, who saw
that their joke had not only been spoiled
but they had received "pointer" in
making fun.
