Courtney Makes the Best Time on Record
 ELMIRA, Sept. 20.-Though the Sheldrake regatta in which Courtney was to have rowed to-day was indefinitely postponed it was not given upon Courtney's account very quietly. The scene of the contest against time was changed to Union Springs, Courtney's home There he rowed this afternoon on bet Of $1 ,OOO to beat the best three mile record with turn. The bet was between James H. Bris- ton. of New York, and Whitman, of Minneso- ta, the former betting that Courtney couldn't eouaI ar beat Teemer PuIlman's record. With out special demonstration the oarsman with his packers and few friends on one side and sports holding negative views and money on the other, got gsther with few hundred country people this afternoon to witness the race. The lake was smooth and was evident before Courtney took his seat that none Of the obstacles which he had formerly urged as an excuse for defeat were to confront nm and he told his friends to bet all they had on him. He sped away straight as an arrow un- der the influence of that steady, even, mag nifcent stroke which sporting men learned long ago to admire more than the excuses and obstacles which seemed 1ts inevitable aceompaniment. He started with his standard stroke at thirty-two to the min ute and he rowed at the same speed without
 materially quickening his stroke till three miles and turn were covered and he had made the best time on record, twenty min utes, ffty-five seconds, nine seconds Detter khan tha best previous time.
