oarsman Teemer, who by long odds is the
popular favorite, has the broadest back and
the finest skin Of any Of the rowers. He
works with a tremendous reach of arm while
on the stretches, but while on the curves
contents himself with one hand work only.
His big muscles play beneath a skin that
shines like satin, and it is evident that he
means to be the man who will grasp the
tempting 81 800 prize
Gaudaur, who had won at s p. m. the $3.50
offered for the winner Of the first days race,
does not row with bere arms, like the other
men, but encloses his body in rough gray
undershirt with sleeveless red jersey above
pulls a stroke that is long and even and gets
his machine over the ground quickly. His
stroke is difficult 10 describe, being shorter
than Teemer's and longer than Plaisted's, but
without trying he seems to have the miles put
up very rapidly on his score.
Squirting began at about Q o'clock, when
Gaudar, Lee and Mckay indulged in few
brushes. Gaudar had the pole and in spite Of
the sturdy muscles of Lee and the long sweep
of Mckay kept it, The work in the straight
portions of the track was intensely exciting,
as, after having passed the curves with the
caution that triiling accident yesterday
morning prescribed, they pull their best, and
/
crowd, the cheering and yelling becomes
deafening.
C~udaur and HRmm came into collision
shortly before 10 o'clock last night directly
in front Of the scorers stand, and their ma
chimes became interloclsed in such a way that
some strength was required to extricate
them. No damage was done except to
Hamm's 'sculler,n which required some re-
pairs. He came on again at 1905
Gaudaur, Teemer and Hamm spurted
rapidly just before the close Of the race for
the second day, and an enormous amount Of
I excitement was generated. Hamm had the
! lead, and Gaudaur was second, but after a

stretches Teemer took the lead having passed

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.--There seems to be a pos

by which the impending West Side strike
may be ayerted and the North Side strike
settled. The committee which President
herkes refused 70 receive yesterday after
noon did not, as was expected order an i'm.
mediate strike on the West Side lines, but,
after remaining in session until o'clock, de-
cided 20 submit its report 70 a full meeting Of
the men, and allow them 10 decide ON the
action to be taken. MIR. Yerkea had in the
meantime, however called on the mayor,
and as a result OF the conference agreed to
meet committee from the strikers, stipn-
laiing only that tho committee must be COM
posed Of actual street car men. He also
agreed, at the mayors suggestion, TO dis
pense with the private detectives who have
been employed about the barns Of the rail

the city police were abundantly able to take
care OF the strike, and that until there were
further developments, it would be unneces-
sary 70 cali in outside help. This action will
have good effect, as the presence Of the de-
