NEW WESTMINSTER, Aug. ESPECIAL. i
The greatest boat race ever witnessed
on Fraser river was rowed today between
Henry Peterson, of San Francisco, and
Alexander Mclean, of this city. Excur-
sions were run from all parts, and fully
1000 people saw the contest The betting
was in favor of Peterson all the time, and
his hackers had by far the most money.
The Westminster people, however. went
heavy on their man, and an immense
amount was staked, nearly all at even
money. Both men were in perfect condi-
ton, but Mclean, not being accustomed
10 fine training, rather overdid it, and
did not show up in his usual
snappy form. The race was three
miles, with turn, in Outraged
skiffs twenty feet over all for a purse of
$3.50. J. 5. Clute acted as referee, starter
and sole Judge of the race. Peterson won
the inside course and gained the advantage
of comparatively still water, while Mclean
was in stiff current all the way to the
turn. Both men got off well together,
Mclean getting slightly the best of the
start. Peterson was not long in showing
the nose of his boat TO the front. and in
the first eighth of mile had won q lead
of three lengths. AT the halt-mIle he had
increased il to six lengths and at the mile
10 eight. Beginning With forty-one strokes.
he gradually tapered down to thirty, Nc
Lean pulling rather faster. but not gain
ing. After reaching the mile stake. Nc
Lean showed his boat ahead and lessened
the gap.
Peterson responded by opening out, and
from here to the turning buoy the race
was simply magnificent and the pace tire
mendous. The San Francisco man turned
the stake in IL minutes, 80 seconds, and
McLesn so seconds later. The latter now
pulled for ali he was worth, and gradually
closed I'D the gap to six and then tour
lengths. But Peterson had the race well
in hand. and at the end Of two and half
miles slackened down and took matters
easier to the finish, winning easily by four
lengths in - minutes 2S seconds. He was
heartily cheered by the immense crowd
and bore the honors thrust upon him mod
estIy. The time is che fastest ever made
in an outraged skif, and is record which
will be hard TO beat. Peterson leaves for
home on Tuesday.
VICTORIA, Aug. ESPECIAL. Peterson,
the California oarsman who defeated Nc
Lean today, was strong favorite here and
Vietorians won something ike $1,000 on
him. 1t is reported here that Mclean and
his family dropped $4,000.

NEW WESTMINSTER, Aug. Especial. +
The great championship lacrosse match
today between the Vancouver and West
minister clubs was one of the finest but
toughest ever played in the province.
Both clubs had their very best men in the
field, and every man played his very best.
Wade, of Victoria, made a very acceptable
and impartial referee. Six thousand peo-
pie were on the field. The first game was a
genuine surprise. As soon as the bali came
out of the face Smith got it and passed it
down the field, where Frost secured it and
shot through the flags. winning the first
game for Vancouver. Time, 30 seconds.
The second game was also won by Van
couver after 6 minutes brilliant play, the
ball being forced through in a scrimmage.
The third game was terrific contest and
lasted hour and % minutes.
In this game Allen, of Westminster, was
nearly killed by body check from Scurry,
of Vancouver. He was carried off the
field on door, and two ladies in the grand
stand tainted at the sight, and also had to
be removed. He will be laid up for some
weeks. Rankin was laid of, to even up,
and play proceeded. Swift deliberately
fouIed Ryal, and was ruled off for that
game, coming on again at the next.
Coldwell checked Draper rather too
sharply, and had his ear split from top to
bottom.
Draper had his lip split so badly that he
had to be removed to a surgeons Office to
have it stitched. Van Allen was laid off
the Westminster team to even up. These
were all the serious casualties, and the
game was finally won by Vancouver, Frost
putting the ball through. Westminster
took the fourth game in one and one-half
minutes, Browse scoring. Vancouver took
the fifth and last game in seventeen min
utes, winning the match by four games to
one.

side, he placing the ball over the center
field fence in the eighth inning with Zim-

fine style was left in the first, and in the
third watched his side getting retired at

Camp showed up in good form, striking
out ten men. He failed TO field his posi-
tion however. in first-class style, letting
Cody get 10 first by failing to cover the
bag, and allowing a runner to reach third
by wild throw to catch him at second.
