The Boat Races.

WARKISs, N. Y, August ID. Tho
water Tuesday was entirely too rough and
on that account the regatta was postponed
until to-day, In the first trial heat Of the
professional regatta Wallace Ross, LASTED,
Griffin, Lee and Courtney started at 10 a.
m, IN order named. Ross took water first
and got fine lead, Phisted second, Lee
third, Courtney fourth, Griffin 18th, Court.
ney drew up to third very easily and in fine
style, with sturdy stroke. III was soon
contestng for second position in the mile
and a half straight away heat, but Lee
steered toward the outside and across
Courtney's course, so that at the half mile
they had almost locked oars. Courtney had
virtually ceased TO exert himself They
rOwed alongside thus for nearly
mile before Lee would take his own course.
At one time 1t appeared As II Lee would get
the lead, but II he held 1t momentarily II
was not longer, for Ross won in 1882 by hall
alenglh; Lee second, Courtney third. The
latter was at least a length in the rear OF
Ross. The crowd howlcd in disappoint-
ment, as II was evident this would shut
Courtney out Of the second trial heat, and
so out OF any contest with Hanlan. 1t
would have looked like a clear put up job,
il Courtney had not claimed second place
on account OF Lees approximate foul. Ii
is not decided yet by the referee and judges
whether to allow the foul so far as learned,
but they probably will not. Interest in
the regatta ceases here in that event.
HASLAN WINS.
In the second trial heat OF the proics.
sionaIs' race, Hanan won in IL minutes
80 seconds; Ho,mcr good second, Tee
mer third, Ten Eyck fourth. Sharlow WAS
in the rear.
THE AMATEUR RACE.
x The oarsmen were all in fine trim aud ar.
rangements for the race perfect. Five
thousand pSsOns were in attendance. The
harvest OF the pick-pockets continue richer
than ever. The roughs Of the entire state
have enNred here. The oarsmen were
ordered into position for the first heat al
! $3.50 O'Clock for the amateur race, but were
slow in answering the call. Th3 course is
on the west side Of the lake, one and one
! half miles straight away, rowing toward
Watkins. The men in the Amateurs were
all in position at 1905 O'Clock, EGrisg,s Of

| Hinton OF Auburn, second
| Hartwell, Of Boston, third, and
Gallagher, Of Elmrs, outside, Hartwel led
! at tue start, Hinton second, Gallagher
next, Griggs falling several lengths behind
IN the first quarter, The other three men
kept close together, Hinton keeping very
close to Hartwell, With Gallagher close
third. Gallagher kept close TO the shore
and Hinton well out. All spurted at the
start, and soon showed signs OF fatigue.
At the h,lf mhe Hinton rested and then
pressed on with renewed yigor. Hinton and
| Hsrtwell kept about even. The last half OF the
course Hinton pulled faster oar by seyera
strokes to the minute. 1t was continue
squirt between the two HartwelI, still
close to the shore, spurted on the last end
and won with comparative ease in II
minutes and 80 second, by about one length
Gallagher third. In a speech last nigh
| Hanlan spologized to the public for 50 lal
| forgetting himself at Ogdensburg as to be
betrayed into tie use OF ungentlemanly
language. Courtney has fewer friends thar
