Calumet is resting in a condition of mod.
crate repose, under the brilliant sun, and |
the three preliminary heats for the single |
scull race of the day bid fairly certain to
occur, and under very good auspices. \ |
faint breeze is blowing from the northeast, |
and there is slight ripple on the water,
but such as will not in any way interfere
with the race or the making good time, if
it is in the oarsmen to accomplish it.
Hanlan reports himself as never feeling
better, and in popularity is deemed the
winner, barring accident although those
familiar with most Of the men promise
that he will uot be pushed into making
good time.
