ALBANY, October 24.-Probably 10000
persons witnessed the single-scull race for
81 900 a side at Pleasure island this after
noon, between Edward Hanlan, OF Toronto,
and John H. Teemer, OF Mckeesport,
Pennsylvania. The weather and water
were nearly perfect. There was a three
foot freshet i'll the river, however, which
rendered it hard work for the oarslnen
going to the stake boat. The race was
three miles with a turn. In the betting
Hanlan was a hot favorite, and many
private wagers were laid at odds OF $1OOto
$50 and $50 on him. In the pools sold on
the island just before the start Hanlan
sold first choice at $50 to $50 and $50,
even after Teemer had O the toss foI
positions. Teemer selected the inside posi-
ton which was a considerable advantage.
At 4:3O the men were ordered out by the
referee, James F. Ormand, OF Boston. AT
4:53 the word was given. Both men were
in fine condition. Hanlan got a trife the
best of the start, rowing SO to Teemer's "a
strokes to the minute. An eighth OF a mile
from the start Hanlan had the nose OF his
boat to the front, but was glanclng
n%ervously over at his rival as though he
feared him.
THE RACE WAS DECIDED
before the ~scullers had n hall a mile.
Soon after leaving the quarter mile point,
Teemer, by grand work. drew up on his
rival, and took the lead, which he never al
forwards surrendered. Three-quarters OF a
mile from the start Hanlan was an open
length astern OF Teemer, and was taking
his wash. Teemer increased his lead to
the stake boat, which he reached three or
four lengths in advance. He turned in
11:32-1-5, and Hanlan IL seconds later.
Hanlan struck the buoy in turning, and
gave up the contest. Teemer rowed lels-
urely home, stopping twice while opposite
the island to throw kisses to the specta-
tors, and dip up water from the river with
his hand. He was wildly cheered as he
passed the island. Hanlan rowed down
fifteen minutes later. He acknowledged
that he was fairly
BEATEN BY A BETTER MAN,
and had no excuse to make. The official
time was 21:13.
A few minutes after Hanlan had repaired
to his quarters an Associated Press re-
porter called to see HIM and PROFOUND the
question: ''Mr. Hanlan, what do you
think of Teemer, now"
Hanlan. looking up, betrayed signs OF I'M
usual emotion, as he said: II am glad to
be defeated by a man like Teemer, but l
don't like the idea OF falling out OF my
boat"
what would have been the result had
you steered safely??'
"Opinions and results differ" he re-
pied. ~ think l could have o on the
home stretch
Teemer, in response to repeated calls,
mounted the roof of his boat house, and
said: "Gentlemen,
ROWED THIS RACE TO WIN,
and have lone so. | shall endeavcr to do
likewise hereafter; that is all l have to
say"
A very large amount OF money was won
and lost on the race, and the P~lttsburgers,
who we're here in full force, go home hila-
rious, and with their pockets well lined.
Hanlan's shell when it iouled the stake
boat upset, and the oarsmen was thrown
into the water. He was rescued by the
people in the judges boat, who rlghted 1t
and replaced Hanlan in it. Hanlan then
rowed down to the finishing point. Hanlan
says the collision with the stake boat was
caused by the strong current.
