the oar. The blacksmiths took the
water first, but the machinists took a
slight lead for a short distance; but
their heavy boat began to tell against
them. The blacksmiths gained the
lead before the lighthouse was
passed, and maintained it, and were
ahead about minute at the turning
buoy. The machinists on the home
stretch partly closed up the gap,
and the regular uniform strokes Of
both boats made pretty picture
viewed from the main stand. Round

seconds ahead. Time, 21m. 15s.,
