THE COURSE SELECTED.
The course selected is not that which was at
first planned. 1t was found that the grass in
the shoal part of the river on the east side near
the wall of the fats was too long to permit the
rowing OF shells, and the deeper water
little further out was chosen. Instead Of the
start being at the bridge and the finish at Lit
tlehelds wharf, however, the whole line has
been moved to the north sufficient to bring the
finish opposite the Analostan house, we'll out
toward the island 1t is practically the same
course as that over which the O. Conner Teemer
race was rowed in 1888.
