Aquatic.
1t is very probable tLat the date of the race be-
tween John Teemer aud Wallace Ross viii be
changed from Saturday, Sept. 81 to Friday, Sept,
26, in order that, In the event of rough water a
postponement may be had without putting the race
over into another week. The second deposit of
$500 tide in this match is due next Saturday
making the full amount of stakes $1,000
Rumor has been rife the past week of a pronosed
double scull race between Wallace Ross and mate
presumably Mckay and John Teemer and male.
1t was understood that the hacker of Ross and Me-
Kay looked WITH favor on the match, and early in
the week Ross was searching for double soul
shell, having an eye on the craft which Ruddock
built for Hanlan and Lee last year. Ii such a race
we're made, Teemer would have eithet Gaudaur or
Hamm as q q ate.
Teemer has decided to try to get on m itch with
the tavorite seuler of the Smoky City and yester-
day he forwald ed Geographic MESA to Priddy's
hackers offering to give hat young scullor start
OF ~ seconds in three miles, 81 seconds in four
miles and 40 seconds iu five miles, The race to take
place at or near Pittsburg and to be any amount
OF money the hackers of the Ptisburger desiIed.
Eph Morris and Teemer both thought the offer
would be accepted for at least of the distances
as Priddy stock has advanced very rapidly of late.
One of the latest and most interesting aquatic
events OF the season in New England waters will be
the one-mlie straightaway race on Charles river
between Andrew L. O'Brien and John j. Murphy
OBrien has been under the membership of NJ F.
Davis of Portland for some time past, and Murphy
has been taking good care of himself although not
doing hard work in his boat Last week Wallace
Ross brought O'Bren's new racing shell to Portland
where II has been rugged by Davis with all the lab
or-saving appliances that modern thought has de-
vised. OBrien will remain at Portland until a few
days before The which is fixed for the 18th of
October Murphy feels quite confident of sue
cess as U'Brien.
