THE LONG ISLAND BOAT RACE.
Hosmer Wins handlIy by a Good
Soat's Length.

The boat race at Long Island, Saturday,
between Hosmer, Conley and Plaisted. was
won by Hosmer in Ism. 12sec., Conley sec
ond and Plaisted third. By the conditions
of the race, Hosmer will receive $3.50, Con-
ley $3.50, and Plaisted 800. About 5000 peo-
pie witnessed the race, which was over
three miles course, with three turns. Hos
mer had the inside, with Plaisted next and
Conley on the outside AT the word "go,"
Conley got to work first. and had slight
lead at the start. Hosmer made big effort
for first place, and soon closed up the gap
between them, aud for brief time the shells
flew along side bp eide. Plaisted fell behind
and before half the distance to the first turn
was reached he was clearly out of the race.
The contest then became pretty fight be-
tween Hosmer and .Conley. Hosmer led
slightly, but 1t was evident that Conley gave
him all he wanted to do Both men made
spirited efforts, but brilliant squirt on Hos
mer's part sent him boats length ahead of
Conley, who was unable to recover. The
second turn was made with the men well
punched, but Conley had the misfortune to
catch his oar in rope and lost something
thereby. When the third and final turn was
made. the men were well together, and there
was a momentary, doubt as to which was
lleafing, but Hosnler was soon seen to have
allead. which he maintained to the finish,
winning by boats length. Today Hosmer
goessto Worcester to train O'Towle for his
coming race.

perhaps the man was not SO drunk as he
looked, were aroused and he "drew off" and

records were smashed in the most astound-

and prolonged. The great three,year old
Axtell cut down his champion record from
2.153 to 2.142, and could have gone faster;
the mighty Guy made record of 2.10a; Roy
Wilkes equalled the best previous pacing
stallion record, but in the same race the

again to 2.12a. Hal Pointer, another side
