HANLAN AND KENNEDY.
Their Arrival at Point OF Pines.

Edward Hanlan and John A. Kennedy mr.
rived at Point of Pines, Revere Beach, Satur-
day evening to finish preparations for their
lace OF next Wednesday. Hanlan left Lowell
at 2.20 p. M, and arrived in Boston, accom-
panied by G. w. Lee and Daniel Driscoll at
$50 o'clock and at Hotel Pines at p. m. They
brought two boats, both built by Ruddck
each equipped with two sets Of Triggers, sculls
etc., and both rigged alike, The Meaney slide
has again been substituted for the Davis slide
In Hanlan's rlcing she'll. The boats were plac-
ed IN the boathouse on the pier and will be
watched until after the race by gentleman
connected with the United States survey.
Kennedy experienced considerable difficulty
in getting his boats to the Point of Pines. He
left Portland at noon and first stopped at Lynn
but afterwards went to Boston, and finally
reached the Hotel Goodwood at the beach at
about $50 p. IN, His boats were placed IN the
building adjoining the running track He
remained very quiet and few were aware that
he had reached the beach. Yesterday the men
took their first row over the course, which was
measured Saturday by Mr. Moses, civil en-
gineer, and at present superintendent of sew

the men agreed through their representatives,
in card, requesting all vessels and boats to
anchor outside the course on the day of the
race otherwise 1t would be impossible to have
fair race, for the swell would swamp the
boats
The excursion train for the great race at
Point of Pines on Wednesday next, via the
Eastern Railroad, will leave at 10 q. M, and
return at 7.S0 p. m, Excursion tickets viii
also be good on the regular Pullman train at
a. IN. Wednesday, and also the S.45 q. m. and
p. m. trains OF the same day. In case OF
postponement of the race the excursion tickets
will hold good until the race comes off.
Jordan, Marsh & Co., who have become
quite noted for their fine window displays,
made another Saturday morning, which PROV
ed a decided attraction. 1t represents what is
to be the grand event at Point of Pines on
Decoration Day, namely tho great boat race
between Hanlan and Kennedy; and this they
have pictured in manner that cannot be 9th.
or than very pleasing to all taking interest in
such matters. Two thirty feet Ruddiek shells
occupy the two large windows to the right of
the main entrance to the establishment and in
these, poised in the act of rowing, are seen
what is considered splendid liiesize figures of
the two great oarsmen, SO well represented as
to appear perfectly natural In look and appear
ance. The surroundings to this unique affair
are excellent, the background TO the picture
showing good view Of the Point Of Pines,
with the Goodwood, Point of Pines Hotel cafe,
steamboat landing, &C., standing out quite
prominent. while at one end OF the mimic scene
IS balcony filed with life-size figures in hon-
day attire, and at the opposite end balloon
suspended in air, containing several passen-
gers intent, as it would seem, like those in a
balcony, in watching very closely the well coz
tested race. 1t Is pretty picture to look on,
and one on which the designer, Mr.. s. b. Suits
the special artist of Jordan, Marsh & Co.. has
spent considerable time to perfect.
