Manlan Beaten by Tesmer.
FAIL RIVER, Mass, Aug. a0.-The
professional seullinQ race postpon. d
froui Saturday was not started until
nearly six O'Clock, owing to Tough water
and stiff breeze. The men we're called
back from false start. Some return
ed, but Others, including Hanlan, Hos
mer and Teemer, rowed over the course.
Another race was ordered. Hanltn
took the lead and turned the buoy first,
followed close by Ross aud Hosmer,
with the others not far of. An exeur-
sion steamer from Providence ran
among the boats and the sw III from the
paddles swamped Hanla,., Elliott and
Hosmer. Darkness coming on rapidly
u was almost impossible to distinguish
the rowers at the finish. Lee upset af
ter crossing the line, and Driscoll drew
OFT half mile from the start. At the
close half dozen carmen surrounded
the judges boat several IT them claim
Ing the first position. This was given
to Teemer, who made the two and a.
half miles in 1926; Hosmer second, 1880;
Ross third. 1885. Hanl4a said he was
beaten, but didn't feel lady about it.
DE was glad Of one thing, and that was
that no money had been bet on him.
The other oarsmen claim that Hsnlan
was really out-rowed. At the c0nclu-
sion of the race there was a controversy
between Ross and Teemer as to who
was winner on account of the oblique
position of the finish. Ross claimed
Teemer did not cross the line, but his
objection was not sustained. Hanlan
feels badly over the result of the con-
test, and during an interview said his
defeat was owing to his position at the
start. II was not hit with sand bag,
nor was | poisoned. / used no saw"
said he, but was beaten on my merits"
He states that prior to his arrival here
he was not i'll proper condition to row,
but felt called upon to be equal to al
engagement he had made during the
season, and he believed before the sea-
son closed he would be defeated. John
Teemer, winner of the race. is not yet
20 years old, and has rowed in nine pro-
fessional races this summer.
The CyclOned Town.
CHICAGO, August PA gentleman
just in from Rochester, MIMI, says the
entire north part of the place is con-
fused mass of debris. Scarce house is
left standing. Before midnight twenty
three oorpSes were recovered. Most of
them were horribly mutilated. 1t was
thought that at least twenty bodies re-
manned in the ruins. The portion OF
the city swept away by the cyclone COM
prised about one-third It's extent. The
storm appeared to have formed about
eighteen miles north of Rochester, and
gathering violence as it progressed, de-
stroyed several farm houses in its course.
A lowering cloud was seen approaching
the fatal town, and in few moments
the slaughter had been accomplished.
The scene along the devastated dis
triot was understandable. Mothers wildly
searched for their children, while little
harmless waits we're found whom the
tempest had orphaned. One child was
the only survivor of a family of seven.
Shortly before the train arrived at
Rochester the wind bent the switch-bar
from its place, throwing open the
switch. The engineer saw the peril
when close at hand and jumped, saving
his life. The fireman was carried over
an embankment and killed.
