The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-11-14
MAYOR MCDONALD WILL NOT
PERMIT 1T ON SUNDAY AND
THERE YOU ARE.
THE OARSMEN LIGHT OUT FOR HOME
Governor Culberson Stopped the Prize
Fighters and Mayor Mcdonald Says
the Race Must Not Come Off ON
Sunday.

The great match double scull race for
$1,000 side and the championship of
the world, between Bubear and Haines
for England, and Gaudaur and Rogers
for America, was declared off last night
at Z: 80 by the parties interested, and thus
Austin loses the greatest event of the
kind that has ever been booked for
American waters.
Last night when the International
north bound train pulled out it carried
Jake Gaudaur and Il. ID. Rogers, the
challenging crew, and Will Haines, the
Adonis oarsman of the English party,
and bow man of the champion double,
and with him goes to England the double
scull and four-oared championship of
the world.
Jake Gaudaur, the true sportsman that
he is, pluclily put up with The States
man $500 of the $1,000 he won in the sin
gle scull race, as forfeit money that his
crew could defeat the English cham
pions for $1,000 side. Mr.. Brewer, on
behalf of his crew, readily posted his
$500, and yesterday morning the pros.
poets for race were very bright and all
| the contestants were ready to enter train
| made the statement that he did not en-
actly approve of the match being rowed
over the Austin course on Sunday, and
the oarsmen, rather than antagonize his
honor, who has treated them with every
courtesy, withdrew their race, but not
without q great sacrifice to themselves
AS the matter stands now, England holds
the double scull and four-oared cham
pionship of the world. and to win these
titles back our American scullers must
cross the broad Atlantic to try and wres'
their laurels from them. This, Gaudaui
tried to do on the waters OF Lake NC
Donald in this match race, but 1t seems
that fate has decreed 1t otherWlHe
Jake Gaudaur felt badly over the turn o.
affairs last night and said he had hopeC
NOT only to take back to Canada, no.
only the single scull, but the double scul
championship of the world. That while
he had only the kindest things to say
about Austin and her citizens, he lei
that they did not realize what a grea
enterprise they had really had in thel
regatta, and that the patronage TINS, IN,
greatest one of all, received last Weel
was not exactly compliment to the fou,
great oarsmen that had Travelled I0O'
miles to row at the great Austin regatta
