training a month, and they are GER
tainly to be congratulated on the way
in which they rowed off the. race.
They splashed too much water by moi
managing their oars right, but with a
little more practice the boys will make
a team that will be hard to catch
The Galveston's won the race by a bic
lead in 13.40 The personnel OF the
two teams We're:
The University Bats, Mclean
Walker and ToOin.

ant and johnson.
THE SECOND RACE
was a consolation one for all scullers
who had not won a prize during the
past week, the distance Icing three
miles with three turns for prizes as
follows: First, $50; second, 500;
third. $50. The entries were j. j Rice,
Harry Parker, Fred Plaisted, George
Hosmer and T.. Durham. At the drop
of the flag the start was well made
with Durham plying slightly in the
lead away off to the left of the course.
After passing the quarter stake the
crowC. was vel punched in the center
of the course with the exception OF
Plaisted, who was plying away over
on the east side in the lee of the bank
and il the rear of the crowd.
Rice and Durham were even
at three.quarter stake and turn to
gether, while Parker comes in close
behind. Durham got away from stake
first, however, aud led on down the
course. Rice and Hosner narrowly
avoided foul half way down, while
Plaisted gives up the deal and draws
out. AS the balance of the crowd
nears the starting point they IRE well
punched, though Hosmer, as they
near the flags, spurts to the front,
while Durnan shows weariuess. Hos
mer makes first turn, Durham second
and Rice third. Hosmer and Durham
Doth squirt on leaving the stakes,
which sends them up the course al
most neck and neck.
Rice puts in some strong licks also,
while Parker follows suit. Hosmer,
Durnan and Parker nestle along the
lett shore, while Rice throws up the
sponge and goes to the boathouse.
Hosmer and Durham stay close to-
gether on the up run, while Parker |
gains on them some by squirting, In |
the next few minutes Durham gains |
and evens up with Hosmer, who makes
a squirt and again gains the lead by
half boat length. They turn the
upper stakes close together, Hosmer
making it first and leads we'll on the
return. Parker makes the turn and
runs back down the course at an
easy gait, rowing for third
money only The race from this on
was between Hosmer and Durnan,
with no very decided advantage on
either side. They pull strong but do
no squirting until near the starting
flags, when Hosmer does a little but
gains nothing by it. Durnap pulling
strong and even shoots over the line
only few feet in the lead, having
made the run 2447 This race, while
cot particularly fast one owing to
the rough course, was still a gem and
as much if not more interest
than any race OF the week.
THE THIRD RACE.
The quarter mile and turn race be-
tween Mr. Charles COrtissOZ and Cap
tain Jim Lucy was in the first instance
gotten up as joke, and was so con-
iinued for some time. Mr.. Cortissoz,
however, was told of it before the
lay set for the race, but loyal to the
regatta to the back bone, he yesterday
went through his part of the program. I
The race had been advertised and he
saw to it that 1t came off, at least
As far as be was concerned,
Captain Lucy did not row.
His work with the sCulls was
exceptionally good for man of his
years and lack of much physical exer-
Else. Mr.. CortissOz has done invalua- i
ole service for the regatta, work for
which he can not receive too much {
praise. Without him it would have
Deen impossible to make the regatta i
he success it has proven.
