How George Lee Beat the Australian
Best Time on Record.
LONDON, September l3.-Only few
persons witnessed the race betweed George
W. Lee, the American oarSman, and Neil
MattcrSon, the Australian. The contest
took place on the Thames championship
course, from Putncy to Mortlake. The
wind was light and the tide fast. Before
the start the betting was seven to four in
favor of MatterSOn. The men got away
on even turns, each rowing
forty strokes u minute. Mat
tersOn gradually crept ahead
and led by half length at the Creek. Lee,
however, increased his eXertiOns and drew
up on level with his opponent at Craven
Cottage steps, and when WaldenS was
reached Lee had lead Of n length. 4
desperate struggle followed both men still
rowing forty strokes aminutc. MattersOn
was again even with Lee at Crab Tree, and
led by halfa length at Hammersmith. Lee
then spurted again and regained the lead,
when Mattcrson stopped, totally exhaust
ed, and Lee won Us he pleased. The time
to HammerSmith was eight minutes and
tOrty-two seconds, or ten seconds better
than the best previous record.

such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety o. government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season aud the great tide of immiA
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska aud
of Kansas. free as it is from The long
rieourous cold winter, added TO soil

capacity. has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To The far

Cheap land. easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at a smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on

During the encounter in front of the
R ,ck Island house Tuesday night, the
local scribe of the Union stood in front of
Thomas drug store on the opposite side
of the street He kept reasonable dis
lance from the scene of the disturJ ance,
fearing not so much of being party to
the fuss-for Eckhart was there to de-
fcnd bim--as he was of getting some of
the polish off his his boots, the angle of
his silk hat disturbed, or something out of
order about his wearing apparel After
the deputy marshal had been placed IN
der arrest, the reporter walked across to
the Rock Island house, and approaching
a citizen who had been Witness, asked
him for the particulars, telling him that
he was very DESTROYS of getting at actual
and straight facts, as the Union was
NOTED for its correctness. The citizen
informed the reporter, giving an account
similar to what appeared in the ARGUS
the next night, but this did not suit the
Union man, and went down and got Hul's
version of the affair and published that,
totally ignoring the information he had
sought and obtained FROM the disinier-
ested citizen. This is the way the Union
no doubt obtains its reputation for
correctness of things"

A Beautiful Boat

Mr.. ST. Elmo Murdoch, son of Mayor
Murdoch has just completed the con-
struction of a-Barnegat hunting yacht.
The boat is fourteen feet from stem to
stern. five feet in beam aud twentv~four
inches deep inside. 1t has seven feet of
deck forward, three feet aft and fourteen
inches along each side of the waist. 1t
will draw only from three to five inches
of water, according to its load, being
constructed with slight depth of keel.
and will therefor be as seryiceable in
shosl water as in high water. The Gems
tre>board is a novel feature of the boats
construction IL runs from the mast four
feet aft along the ceutre>liIe of the craft
and is twenty tive inches deep from the
deck to the bottom. 1t is made of boiler
iron and weighs eighty pounds. The OBJ
ject of the centre-board is TO supply the
absence of depth of keel, it enabling the
yacht to carry plenty of canvas and to
steer. The boat has beautiful and
graceful model. She has all the
necessary rigging for speed, comfort and
convenience, and promises to bold her
own, on rough sea as well as calm. while
being at the same time just the thing for
navigating the shallow swamps, where
hunters fowl abound The hull is paint
ed white. and the deck is drab with a
stripping of yellow anil vermilliOn, which
gives it handsome and attractive ap-
pearance. The interior is blue, making a
contrast in color, that is yet harmonious
to the eve 1t is wi.hal boat in which
Mr.. Murdoch may take intimate pride and
delight
