CLOSE RACE ON THE LAKE
STEAMER TAsHMOO BEATEN BY THE
CITY OF ERIE 45 SECONDS.
One-Hundrcd-MiIe Course Covered i'm

mile race from Cleveland TO Erie to-day
between the Cleveland passenger steamer
City of Erie. owned by the Cleveland &
Buffalo Transit Company, and the Tash-
moo, Detroit's crack passenger boat, owned
by the White Star Company, was in many
respects the most noteworthy race ever
sailed in fresh water.
The Erie covered the distance in four
hours, nineteen minutes and nine seconds,
passing the home stake boat at Erie
one minute and thirty-eight seconds
ahead OF the Tashmoo, beating the
latter by forty-fve seconds elapsed
time. 1t was pronounced by old vesselmen
to be the prettiest race ever witnessed
on the great lakes. Aside from winning
the speed championship of the great lakes
the Erie won ABOUT 100000 for those who
bet her.
The conditions under which the race was
sailed were ideal. There was a fair sky
and a sea as calm as a mill pond. These
conditions were more essential to the
Tashmoo. as she is ii light draught river
boat and would have been severely ham,
pered by wind and sea, while the Erie
was made TO travel fast under all condi-
tions. The course was lined from start TO
finish with excursion boats OF all kinds,
and the shores were crowded at points
with people. The noisy departure OF the
racers at Cleveland was duplicated at the
nnish. Whistles footed and people cheered
both victor and vanquished. Both boats
were stripped TO fighting trim. The decks
were cleared of everything that would
catch the wind on board the Erie, and
even the lifeboats had been slowed away
between decks The limited number of
spectators carried on each boat were con-
fined TO the cabins and none was allowed
on the decks. Both racers were made as
light possible
The Erie made no preparations for the
race except To unload her freight after
| coming TO her dock i'm the morning. The
| Tashmoo had been scraped thoroughly and
| everything done TO facilitate her speed.
| From the start the result was In doubt un-
| ii, a few miles OF the finish. The race
