The ouly drawback woa tho bigh stage of the river, which, however, dld not materially affect the plucky oarsmen, whose timo was much better than was expected. There was an immense crowd fn attendance, estimated at not less than 20,000, llning both sides of the river along the entirs course, while the neighboring hills, from which favor- able views could be obtalued, tere black with people. Betung Just before the start was briak, with the odds in favor of Ilanlan. Tho start was not cffected untl) 6:00, tho delay being In the Interest of the gamblers. During the race bulletin-boarda in the city were surrounded by hundreds of excited people, who eagerly contemolated tho changing phases of tho atruggle as they wera reported by telegraph, those of lianlan were red nnd blue, Both men were in aplendid conditfou. The start took place ot 0:09, amid the most vo- ciferous cheering, Hanlan ot ouce took the lead, rowinz wlith apparent casc twenty-eizht strokes to the minute, frum which ho never doviated. Morrls started with thirty- two strokes, which lio increased on the home- stretch to thirty-five, The first balf-mile, Han- 1an's boat showed "about lialf a length in front. This ho Incrensed to six lengths by the time the turning-pofnt was reached. Both hoats turned tho buoy handsomely. Now came the erisis of the struwwle, Morris Increased bis strokes to thirty-five; Ianlan malotaloed lls twanty- elght.

Morrls, on ths con- trary, was complotoly exhausted, and bad to be lifted out of bis boat by his fricnds, The official timo, 87 minutes, is regarded o8 remarkably fast, considering the stilt currer.t. of the river. Tho reault was grected with un- bounded demonstrations of delight by the Cn- nadfans. Thoy shouted and cheered, throw their liaca {n tho alr, danced around, and shouted and checred again. They were winners of at least £50,000, Morris' fricnds kept very quict. They hod notbiog to refolce over; thelr champlon was defouted, and many of thew impoverished.
