en- by an Unknown Sculler.
Hanlan and Lee Win the Double sculI
Race.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The sculling regatta on
Lake Calumet, at the village OF Pullman, this
afternoon, developed'a prodigy in the person Of
young Ieemer, McKeesport oarsman, hither-
TO unknown, but who displayed his mettle by
winning place III the final struggle yesterday
but who failed to keep with either Hanlan,
Hosmer or Hamm, owing, as 1t Is now claimed,
TO bis inexperience in rowing in rough water.
To-day, IN what has been termed the consola-
tion race open to all but three leaders of the
dap previous, he covered three miles in 20.14,
thus lowering Courtney's best record Of 20m.

was placid, and there was everything TO en-
courage the contestants tOi show at their best.
