THE BOAT RACES.
The two boats Alice NJ. and
Stranger that participated in this
race were entered by the Myltles,
but this fact did not lessen the
interest which prevailed among
the members of that club, as they
were anxious to make a record of
their two crews, and the time made
by the Alice NJ Of 20 min. and 5
sec. over a three mile course is a
record that the Myrtles are justly
proud of. The two boats started
within a few seconds of each other
with the Alice NJ. leading. When
the one and a half mile stake buoy
was reached the Alice NJ. was lead
ing by about twenty feet, but the
Stranger seeing her rival turning
the stake buoy, she too turned and
made for home. The Alice M.
pulling at a beautiful stroke grad
ually gained on the Stranger.
Within fifty feet of the starters
boat, the two boats were exactly
abreast of each other, and lively
pulling was witnessed. The Alice
