ing match. The opponent Of Howell. who rep
resented Trinity Hall. CampridRe. was H.
Blackstaffe OF the Vesta Rowing Club. the
holder Of the trophy. Though Howell had
beaten Blackstaffe In the race for the Diamond
Sculls at Henley. the increased distance Of the
race on the Thames rendered the event quite
open.
Blackstafie quickly took the lead after leay-
ing the starting skiffs at Putney Bridge. and led
by a length at the pier. which he in
creased to three lengths at the Point" At
the "Crabtree" the American spurted and
shortened the distance etwee himself and
the leader by a length. but Blackstaffe raised
his stroke and shot under Hammersmith

utes So seconds. A series of spurts followed.
in which the Diamond SOULS winner again got

OPENING CITY STREETS.
A Lot of Property Recently Decided
10 the city For That Purpose.

The City Council has just completed ar
rangements for opening several streets In
tho southern section Of the city, which
viii be greatly needed. As matter Of
fact, the streets have been practically
opened for some time past, but the city
did not own all Of the rght-of-Way. and
had to make several purchases.
Among the purchases just made was
that of several small tracts OF land in
Collinsville for the purpose Of opening
Waldburg, New Houston and Bolton
streets through that section. This prop
erty was purchased at 6 cents per square
foot, and the city paid the estate Of Anna
Cam $4,752 yesterday.
Other property for which deeds to the
city have just been made were for the
purpose of opening Fourth street, between
Bull and Whitaker In order to open
Fourth street through this one block 1t
was necessary 70 purchase property from
eleven different people. They were Eliza
j. Drayton, Susan DeLorge. Emily Craw-
ford, Melina Hess, b. D. ROsen brook, J0-
seph p. Williams, J. +. Truchelette, +.
kaufman, A. o. Mcintyre, l.. +. Morgan
and II. ID. Robinson. The average price
paid TO each was 500 the price per square
foot being q cents. There was one larger
tract, however. owned by 3. D. Rosen-
brook for which SS1152 was paid.
Another deed TO the city was made by
A. Ehrlich, guardian. conveying property
for the purpose Of opening Eighth street.
between Bull and Whitaker. The price
paid was q cents per square foot. and :he
amount s1,764.45
These streets have practically been open
for some time, but the city did not own
this property, and az matter Of fact,
therefore, did not own the streets. Nov
that the property has been decided to the
city, these streets are opened on the same
footing with other streets. There are some
few other streets soon to be opened in the
same manner.
