The Ellsworth crew let the other launch
their craft and get well away, when they
artfully launched the Arthur Kulls barge,
which was a much lighter one than their
opponents, and got aboard. But the other
crew rowed back and protested, all getting
out on to the float again. There was a
little kick for few minutes, finally the
Ellsworth crew were allowed to keep the
Arthur Kufls craft On the start the Van
Buskirk crew got away with least bit of
an advantage and game struggle ensued.
Both boats turned their stakes together
and the Ellsworth crew forged slowly
ahead But the superior stamina in the
Van Buskirk crow began to tell on near

amidst vociferous applause, they were just
about quarter of a length ahead. Time,
