monifested by all present. Both men were
in splendid condition. Hanlan rowed in his

ually drew ahead until ne was half a boats
length in front of Hanlan. At Putney tie
Australian was q length to the good. At
this point Hanlan seemed to be laboring
heavily, while Beach was fresh, and pulling
strong, Passing Gladesville it was apparent
to all that the race was virtually over. Beach
