NA0e'A INC AoAOIony OF MS extraordinary
| success, 1t was allowed 70 die early. Hos
mer proved to be the only man who seem
| ed to possess the capacity of crowdino
Hanlan. In the final race of the day. after
heading Lee, he sprang alongside MS .rreat
| antagonist and raced him very closely to
the turning, or mile and a half, and Han
Ian had to display his marvellous speed
| for fully that distance before he could
| shake him of. After that HanIan appear
ed to have it all his own way, and with a
comfortable interlude between him and
| Hosmer, he ventured to doff his cap to-
| those on the press boat, but he had no
! time to spare for any more s1ch pleas
antries, and he finished at the thirtv-sec-
ond stroke.
Kennedy, young sculler, who seemed
to be favorite, was distanced N the Sec
ond of the preliminary heats, and his in
credabIy poor time was accounted for on
his return, by his boat, which was known
to be weak from collision of the day
previous, breaking in two, while he was on
the home stretch and utterly collapsed.
In the third preliminary heats, Elliott,
| ex-champion of England, was forced out
of the contest by breaking his rowing gear,
and Weisberger likewise by his shell filing
with water, through Clayton's fouling him.
The record made by Toomer, eighteen
years old, on the second preliminary heat,
was surprise, bat he failed to sustain it
through the concluding race. Those
who took part in the race were as fol-
lows:
Edward Hanlan, Toronto; George Hos
mer, Boston; George W. Lee, Newark

| FIRST HEAT.
II m.-The men took the water prompt
ly at 1870 in the following order: han
Ian first, Mckay second, Lee third, Parker
fourth, Briceland fifth. The first quarter
mile they pulled very evenly together,
and at the first mile they were well match
ed, with Lee leading slightly followed
singly by Hanlan and Mckay. 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 half buoy,
when Briceland kept we'll on the lake
"
with Lee second, Mckay third, Parker
| fourth and Briceland last. Hanlan's time
at the mile and half buoy was ten min
utes and a fraction, which was very good
time in view of the water, which had be-
come choppy under freshening breeze.
On the return voyage Hanlan kept the
lead, rowing easily. The others following
| in the last named order.
SECOND HEAT.
The men for the second heat were in
position Immediately after the first, Riley
taking the water fully three seconds after
ward had been given to start, in the follow
ing order: Riley first, Toomer second, j.
Kennedy third, Hosmer fourth, PIaisted
| fifth. Plaisted and Hosmer had a sharp
race for the first mile flag, which was
passed by Hosmer slightly ahead, Riley
and Toomer close up, and Kennedy falling
rapidly to the rear. The four leaders
pulled very evenly for turning the buoy,
Hosmer coming around first, Toomer
second, Riley third, Plaisted fourth, and
| Kennedy in the rear. Hosmer's time
at the mile and half buoy was ten minutes
and thirty seconds, and he passed the cwo-
mile buoy in 1880. Toomer's second, two
lengths in the rear, Riley third. five
| L
very lively with him. The last mile was
pulled in the hardest kind of style
| Hosmer, gradually increasing his lead by
fully four lengths over Toomer, who was
three lengths ahead of Riley and Plaisted,
and they closed in that order, Hosmer fin
ishing in twenty-three minutes sixteen
! seconds, Toomer second, Riley third, PIais
! ted fourth and Kennedy distanced.
THIRD HEAT.
Word was given for the third heat at
11:40 in the following order. Hamm first,
We1sberger second, Gaudaner third, Elliott
fourth, Clayton fifth. Gaudaner sprang
well to the front and passed the mile at
thirty stroke and full two lengths ahead of
Hamm. Clayton steered very badly, and,
after taking Elliott's water, crowded inc
| Weisgerber and Hamm. At the three
quarter buoy, the three men were so close
together Hamm was compelled to cease
rowing, and Weisgerber's shell was par
tally filed with water. While the three
shells were locked together Weisgerber
stopped rowing and was delayed fully one
minute backing out and after proceeding
short distance further Elliott also ceased
rowing and the two men abandoned the
race. The race between the remaining
three men was continued sharply Hamm
turning the mile and a half buoy first in
ten minutes and forty seconds, Gaudaner
second, Clayton third. Clayton again be-
gan to steer badly but kept in shore and
did not interfere with Hamm or Guadaner
who were pulling at the second mile buoy,
apparently even from there to the finish.
1t was apparently the sharpest rowing
during the morning, and was won by
Gardener by half length in twenty-three
minutes and twenty nine seconds.
Kennedy's failure to make time the Sec
ond heat was fully explained toward the
finish when his shell which had been in
jured the day previous parted completely
in two and he was compelled to make his
way to shore clinging to the fragments.
The result of the three heats makes
the starter for the decisive race
this afternoon; Hanlan, Lee, Hos
mer, Queemer, Gaudneor and Hamm.
The lake had forbidding appearance
when the time set for deciding the race ar
rived, but despite chopping sea the men
were called out at 500 and took their po-
sition as follows:
Hanlan first, Lee second, Hosmer third.
