This was anticipated as the event of the
! day, introducing as it did the supposed to
be invincible champion Hanlan. 1t was
| 5:O8 o'clock when the men
| drew up for the start.
The brass band, which had been footing a
| lively air on the grand stand, ceased to
| agitate the inofensive atmosphere and
every one was on the tip-toe of expectancy.
The water was ruffied to some extent and
choppy, but under the circumstances this
presented no serious obstacle to start.
| When the word ''go" was given, Hosmer
got among the first, with Hanlan and
Riley stroke in the rear, but this position
was only temporary, for the champion
braced up and commenced to put in his lace
l1cks IN manner that soon gave him the
lead. At the one-half mile on the up turn
| Hanlan was about five lengths ahead and
| pulling about thirty-four strokes to the
minute. The other contestants were about
| even, their stroke being at thirty-two.
About this time the Canuck slowed up and
| showed that it was breaking
easily for him, by the
nonchalent way he dipped his hands into
the water and laved his face. When three
| quarters had been rowed Hosmer was
second, but as the turn was neared Riley
crawled up on him, and the rowing of
these two was beautiful. Hanlan
touched the turn at $50 gait,
Hosmer at 9:5S and Riley at 1906. On
the return Hosmer made a fine squirt.
sweeping ahead, with Riley 100 yards
astern. The race was now between Hanlan
and Hosmer, their time being about thirty
five strokes to the minute. Hanlan took
matters easily, however, and for the next
quarter of mile some very pretty pad
ding was done. AS the home stake was
neared Hanlan drew ahead, and pulled
away from his competitor, and when the
flag fell he was aboat three lengths ahead
The time was;

In conversation with Riley after the
race, he stated that he had never been able
to wilma heat during the prevalence of a
wind.
FOR THE BATTEAUX RACE
announced there was only one entry, tn,
Saltwater team, composed of Jerry Don
ovan, bow, Thos. Scully, stroke, and Mi
chael Donovan and Thos, Mccarthy. Oti
Staples acted as boatswain. To make tn,
thing interesting, Messrs. Parker, McLar
en- and Butler, of this city, manned shell
with Norman Wright as stroke
and an effort was made tt
give the Saltwater boys whirl
The chances were, of course, not even, anC
it would be unfair to- describe what wa
only an ATTEMPT at a race
THE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY
includes saw-off, in which
Messrs. Hanlan, Hosmer, Lee and Teeme1
will compete, and it is needless to say tha
some splendid diversion is assured. Thi
will be followed by consolation race
open to all but the winners.
Tomorrow a heat is announced be-
tween Parker and Gandour, and as thi:
will be only one feature of the programme
a gala day may be expected.
Yesterday Hosmer remarked tha
after the regatta he woult
be open to match all oarsmen bu
Hanlan.
An effort has been made by parties from
Winnipeg to have Hanlan visit that city
but as the champion is now overweight
and as he desires to train for the mattel
with Ross at Watkins, N. Y, on the 14tl
inst, he will proceed at once to that city
