some lively work, his stroke being neat,
swift and perfectly steady.
The water at this juncture was very choppy
and strong wind prevailed, making it
difficult for the men to work, while Han
Ian maintained his lead, Hosmer doing
some nice work as second, and Teemer
some distance behind. As the
finish was neared Hanlan
steamed up and rowed under the flag
nearly dozen lengths ahead. The time

As Hanlan rowed alongside the
referees boat, Plaisted, who
had Just rowed out from the
shore, came along, and as the shells of the
two oarsmen came together they stood up
and indulged in friendly embrace great
ly to the amusement of the spectators.
CONSOLATION RACE.
The entries for the consolation race were
Plaisted and Riley, time being called at
5:27 o'clock.
The oarsmen started away in good order,
both contestants rowing in fine form. At
the start Riley's oar touched the water at a
33 stroke, and for some distance it looked
as though the men were about evenly
matched, the race being beautiful. But
it was soon evident that
Riley could not cope with
the strong wind, he being accustomed en-
tirely to the smooth water of the eastern
rivers and lakes. At the three-quarter
stake Plaisted shot ahead taking the lead
by nearly two lengths. Meantime, Riley

the gap and some splendid work was done.
At the turn Plaisted went to the front,
taking the lead by five lengths, his time
being 1928, Riley making the mile and
half in 10:40. On the way to the finish
Plaisted dipped his hands into the lake
and too a drink of water to
the edifcation of the onlookers.
At this time the latter was pulling about
twenty nine dips to the minute, while Riley
continued to row nicely. AS the finish was
neared the latter urged his shell forward,
making thirty two strokes to the minute,
and thereby diminishing the gap. For a
while it looked as if it was anybody's race,
but as the stake was neared, Plaisted shot
ahead and went under the flag by lead of
nearly two lengths. The time was: Plais-
ted. 23.03; Riley, 2S.104.
