THE WILLAMETTE REoETTA.

/ nor and Dutch aud Stevenson came
to the score for the professional
double race, three miles with turn.
The former were assigned to the east
course and the latter to the west
bank. Both crews started pn equal
terms at the shot, Hanlan aud
O'Connor rowing a graceful, steady
long "a stroke, while Dutch aud
stevenson were rowing deep II
choppy water at 81 pace. Hanla
and O'ConnOr Immediately began t'
set the pace and 2OO yards from lh'
start showed a length Of clear water
Two hundred yards beyond that the
Canadians were working strong bu'
easy on a lead Of three lengths, auc
were apparently reserving them
selves and firing their opponents
Dutch and stevenson cut down th'
lead before the turn was made, bu
as sOOu as the flag was rounded
Hanlan and O'CoDnOr put On extr;
steam and shot three lengths ahead
After rounding Dutcn and Steven
son ran into bad water, caused by
the splasbing of the swell of the
steamer Altoona against the apron OF
the ferry Daisy Andrus, but soon re
covered themselves. At the water

ing long 20 stroke and Dutch and
Stevenson a short 81, Hanlan and
O'Connor then increased their stTOk'
to "a and walked away, winning
$500 by five lengths in 23.05.
DIR. r. Num-, of the Portland
Rowing Club, won the amateur
single race, one and a half miles
straightaway, defeating G. Larson
Of the Willamette club.
The junior four-oar race, one and
half miles straightaway, between
the Willamette and Vancouver, b
c., crews, WAS close and exciting
The Britishers had the east course
and were sent away from the score
rowing IA see-saw 3S stroke, while the
Willamettes were splashing at 80.
Al the mile II was a toss as to who
would win-the Britishers, with
their poor work, or the Willaniettes,
with West bow, and Sparks, stroke,
laboring and Nos. 2 and 3 working
steadily. From the press boat II
looked as If the visitors were holding
back for a spurt to overcome the
locals lead Of half length. Kent,
3, of the Vancouvers, was out OF
shape, and 1t was question wheth-
er he would hold out. One hundred
yards from the finish the Britishers
pluckily pulled themselves together,
and, forcing to the front, crossed the
line length ahead. They won be-
cause they were determined not to
lose, and the Willamettes lost be-
cause they did not have the squirt in
them for the finish. The time, 0:i0,
was very good.
1he water was as smooth as glass
when OConner, the American
champion, Dutch and Stevenson,
were called out for the professional
single race, three miles with a turn,
for $500 purse. Hanlan did not
row. The Hanlan-o'Connor com
bination had but one boat, so they
tilpped coin to decide which should
have II. O'Couner won and took the
middle course, with Stevenson on
the west and Dutch on the east.
Darkness prevented any one at the
finish seeing the turn, but O'Connor
rounded first and kept the lead,
finishing ten lengths ahead Of
Dutch, he length before Steven
son. The time, 24:24, was slow.
