Three-Mile Sculling Contest at San Fran
cisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 2O.-About
thirty thousand people witnessed today
the three-mile sculllng race between
O'Connor, of Canada, and Peterson, of
California, in what is known as the Oak
land Neck of San Francisco Bay. The
water was comparatively smooth and
both men appeared in good condition.
The day was as fine one as could be de-
sired. O'Connor's shell was the same one
in which he defeated Hamm last fall.
Peterson's was manufactured in Boston,
being what is sometimes styled by sports
men Irish make" The bow slopes down
and under the water, while that of O'Con-
nor's turns.
Wagers on the men before the race were
about even. Owing to Peterson being a
local man, he was slight favorite of the
majority of the people. Those from abroad
generally held O'Connor first choice. The
race was to have been at $3.50 p. M, but it
was nearly a half hour later before it was
called.
The start was an even one, but O'Connor
quickly pulled ahead. O'Connor rowed
thirty-six strokes a minute to Petersons
thirty-nine. At the half-mile O'Connor
led by half a length. AT the mile O'Con-
nor led by three lengths and increased to
four at the turn. At a mile and half
from the starting point, in the last half
mile before the turn, Peterson steered
wildly, encroaching on O'Connor's water
O'Connor's time to the turn was 10 min
utes 20 seconds. On the return homeward
Peterson laid himself to regain what dis
tance he had lost. When about at the two
mile post Peterson spurted, but O'Connor
met it with responsive strokes for the rest
of the race. O'Connor maintained lead
of four lengths, rowing thirty-eight strokes
to Peterson's thirty OConnor passed the
winning post in 20 minutes % seconds.
Peterson was ten seconds late. O'Connor
was comparatively fresh at the close, while
Peterson showed signs of exhaustion.
