Caffrey on his heels and Atherton not far of.
All were within a length and outside Of the
course to the west. At the half the pace be-
came tedious to Caffrey and Carney and they
spurted, leaving Anterior in the rear to keep
| company with Smithson. Caffrey led by a
quarter OF length, gaining this by the work
OF a few strokes. At three-quarters Caffrey
had wldened his open water to a clear length

was between Bergin, Hedley and Freeth. He'd
ley, smarting from his bad work in the dash,
spurted at the word and rowed easily to the
front. Freeth kept him company for few
strokes, but the gap widened and Bergin, who
was rowing slow stroke, apparently did not
care to rush things. At the first flag the same
order was maintained. and at the half mile
Hcdley had lead Of two lengths, with Freeth
second. Bergin was out OF his course beyond
the flag. Hedley and Freeth had exchanged
waters. Freeth was laboring with short
! JHrky stroke that soon tired him, and Bergin,
| seeing his opportunity, spurted up at the last
quarter and raced with Freeth for the place

The most amusing thing that the spectators
