why Aquat Sport Is Not Patr0nizee
by San Franciscans.


by San Frnnoiscans.
1t Is strange coincidence that whenever
the oarsmen of this city are offered an
opportunity to row for prize donated by
the city or some en.erprising citizen they
turn out en- masse to contest for the purse
or trophy, whichever it may be. There are
only few Of the local seullers who will
train as oarsmen should for a contest, and
the result is that an aquatic race among
members OF the local clubs is so decidedly
slow and one-sided that little interest is
manifested In the event among men who are
not connected with rowing clubs. There
will be some racing to-day, and, judging
from the meageT interest that is taken in
the sport. II is safe to say that the shore on
the line of the course will not be throEged
with pleasure-seekers.
Rowing would be popular sport here If
the public thought the contests would be
worth going 10 see. Interest in any sport
cannot be expected when it Is known that
the participants of the game have not trained
for the occasion. OF to-day's races it would
be safe bet TO wager that OF the oarsmen
who will compete not half dozen have
trained a week for the races.
There is a writer of aquatic sports named
st. John in the East who recently said that
when in condition Jacob Gaudaur is the
fastest sculler in America.
An old judge of rowing named James
y,
is of the opinion that ST. John when he
made the above statement was iadulging in
little conversation through his hat. Tay-
lOr says: I'm answer TO Mr.. St. John, l
would state that in the Conneaut l. Ike re-
gatta John Teemer beat Gaudaur five
lengths in one mile and a half when both
men were in the pink of condition The
time made was 10 min. % see. for the three
miles. Teemer was trained and backed by
Evan Morris, ex-champion sculer of Amer
lea, and in my opinion he is the fastest rep
resentative oarsman we have had in tie
past 50 years.
In reference to the opinions as EXPRESSED
by st. John and Taylor the Pittsburg Dis
patch says: 1t is not likely that Teemer
will ever do again what he has done and II
is not likely that we will very readily get
another TeemeI. More Is the rity Fakes
and burleSques have ruined all prospects.
and our leading professionals are still In
clined to carry out the "gate-reeeipt" pro-
gramme. The prolonged double-scull race.
which has just been declared off. was only
for the gate or else it could never have been
Knocked on the head so abruptly. There
was no forfeit up. although the public were
told that there was. Now, that the race is
off, Messrs Hanlan and O'Connor have
turned their attention to Stansbury and
anybody that Stansbury can find in Aus
trala. Quite fair offer has been made to
the worlds champion, and 1t may be that
we will have a big bOatrace or two here this
year. Certainly contest here between
O'ConnOr and Stansbury would be interest
ing, but race between Hanlan and any,
body whom Stansbury might bring would
not be so ropular. Hanlan may talk away
about what he will do and what he expects
to do, but his cham pionship days are gone.

think, will be obtaining experiences of this
