THE FIRST RACE.

The first race of the afternoon was the
half mile dash for purse of 500, in
which professional scullers of England
and America were entered as follows:
Bubear, Barry and Haines of England
Jake Gaudaur, Peterson, Hanlan, TEEN
er and Rogers of America. This race
was a hot one from start to finish and
was as pretty a dash as a man would
care to see. The start was made up the
course at the half mile flags and the

BETTING ON THE REGATTA.


The battle between the bOokmakers and
the sporty boys on the steamer Ben Hur
is getting to be as close and interesting
as the sculling races. The talent claim
to have a little the best of it. but Phillips,
the bOokmaker, says he is game and will
stay with them until the fall of the flag
in the last race Thursday evening. The
hockey lost pretty well when John
Teemer made his Garrison finish in the
dash race. The boys then started to
joke Phillips about his poor Judgment
on boat races, but he turned the laugh
and fooled them little on the next race.
He bet them to stand still on the Eng
fish double. giving them long odds against
HaineS and Wingate. He finally wound
up by offering to bet 5000 against So that
Bubear and Barry would win. A half
