Another two years between the SOULS

pected. In chatting with Mr.. Corbet
the other evening, as he was sur
rounded by his club men, the CatllnS,
of Chicago, he stated to all about that
after this season he would never enter
another race. He cannot bear to train,
and the tax upon his time is also an
item he considers. Ten Eyck and
Gandaur both expressed their regret
that such promising fellow should
leave the field. The junior double. also
rowed on Monday, was won by William
Corbet and James Henderson, of the
Catlins, in 10:101S. In this race Nettle-
tons and Wright represented the Mime
sofas, and Daniels and Fitzgerald the
Lurlines. The latter were distanced.

walls that Mr.. Wright should never row
a scull except for pleasure, and for that
exclusively. He has no heart for
race, and this weakness. with seem
ing bad training, lost him every race in
which he entered. The junior four
was rowed on Monday, the Duluths,
Lurlines, WinnIpegs, st. Pauls and Min
nesotas starting. This was a race of
fouls, the Duluths and Winnipegs
fouing each other at the turn buoy.
They came home: Winnlpegs, 9:4411a;
DuluthS, 9:49; Minnesotas, 10:0l; Lur-
lines, 1908, and st. Pauls, 10:0519. The
clubs entered protest, and the race was
ordered rowed again on Tuesday morn-

sofa associations, the winners in that
race to take the prize for the undecided
race. 1t was late Monday afternoon
when the professionals made their APP
pearance. AS Hanlan and Wise darted
out to the course between the numerous
boats occupied by spectators, cheer
went up that only grew louder when
Gaudaur and Mckay followed. Teemer
and Hosmer were even choice among
betting people with Gaudaur and Nc
Kay, and frequently an admirer of
Hanlan's past would back the hand
some fellow for first place. Hamm and
Ten Eyck were probable winners of
third money in the pools sold Monday.
Here were eight of the worlds greatest
oarsmen sitting in pairs, ready for the
agreed-upon affair of hippodrome.
The best and fastest pair were
there to win; this was certain, ii for
no other reason that Teemer and Gau-
daur were sworn enemies, and each is
devoting his life to eXtinguiShing the
light of glory which hangs between
them. Gaudaur has the worlds record
for singles, and Teemer has other rec
ords, which make the two

in the world to-day. A knowledge of
the Teemer-Gaudaur animus was preva-
lent among all the interested spectators,
and desperate race was looked for.
Four false starts were made-Ned Han

teeth and Gaudaur Indifferent to the
tumble. Each time in these starts
'reemer and Hosmer, posed like two de-
termined, desperate men, caught the
water first and were off like rods upon

in the turn, while Gaudaur's powerful
turn with McKay's left holda sent him

Hanlan and Wise fouled at the
turn, whereby Hanlan's oar was
Clipped and his boat pocketed
behind Hamm's, which was in Hanlan's
water, as decided afterward by the ref
cree. Hanlan followed Hamm. and he
