Night came on, he neglected to engage lodgings; and at a late hour, found himsulwalking about the place in a bewildered state of mind, a stranger in a strange place, rapping at a door here and there for admission. When morning came he was sufficiently recovered to re- alize the state of matters and started for Unionville.

At the gunshot llunlnn appeared to me to catch the Water first, followed by Riley and Kennedy, the others innstring Some, made Hnnlan's stroke at the start 40, others 36. while Riley was whipping in a lively 40, and Kennedy a st.ong 38. Mv impression is that Hanlan tn the first half mile was a full length clear of Riley, who again was a length clear of Kettttedy,tlte others beginning now to string out. so that no human being could Leep track of them. ‘ Hanlan lost about two lengths at the buoy, round which lie came to a manner which certainly gave the im‘ pressmn that he had the race itt hand. Riley madeasplendid turn, and now the pair settled dowh toa steady pull, Hanlan brightening up to a 32, whtle Riley hardly varied asirolte from 36. By this time it was apparent that Kennedy would, bar ac- etdent, be third. A short distance from the flags Hanlnn had to stop rowing to avoid a foul. Riley by this means drew a little ahead of Haitian. Within I50 yards of home Hanlan put on a 36 clip, and his best answered his call. though not in the way I have seen her slip though the water under such a stroke. The gun-shots signal- ling the arrival home were fired within a second of each other, Haitian stopping row- in};r first. My impression N that. Haitian was halfnlength ahead. and this is con- firmed by four friends whom I had posted tighten the wharf under the imaginary line from the winning flag, then to the judge's stand on the scow. They are unanimously of opinion that Riley was half a length behind, and Rilev being next to them, had he been even with Hanlan,wonld have appeared ahead. However,the judges ‘being divided in opinion, the referee has decided a dead heat; though how thejudges expected from opposite corners of their box to tell who was first in is what no one who knows anything about judging} can tell. The time was given has 27.12, which is the fastest. on record. Kennedy was third, {our lengths behind. .McKen could have been eaStly fourth, but was deceived by the monkeying of one of the Gaudaurs. REMARKS. I think that the contest between Hanlan and Riley was genuine. From his leading Riley so easily to the first mile, it is my opinion that Han‘lan thought that he could play with Courtney’s former antagonist. Riley, I fancy, saw this, and husbanded his strength for a final effort and thus misled Hnnlun, whose evident want of condition prevented him from running away from Riley at the finish. so as to leave the result beymtd peradventureâ€"that is. say. two lengths. Riley was in fine fix,and less than two davs is a short time for Hanlan to get ready for asecond tussle: but 1 have not the slightest doubt that if Hanlan wishes he can win. He could have done so decistvely to-day had he not under-estimated his man. They pull ofi“ on Wednesday. A DEAD HEAT BETWEEN RILEY AND HANLAN. A novel feature ofthe regatta. was a men between Miss Mary Morrison, of Atherley, and Miss Eslin, of Barrie. Both ludies pulled well, the wind giving Miss Eslin much trouble. Miss Morrison won handily, the lime for the mile being by plivate watch ten minutes. anmAug 18.-â€"Tbe attendance at the first day of the regatta was by no means equal to that of last year, nor was the en- thusiasm so demonstrative. The weather was ttll that could he desired, though the best of the water was lost through the ar- rangements for calling the races and getâ€"- ting the men under weigh being in a per- fect muddle. Six were content to receive the word ‘5Go,” and a fairly interesting race resulted in Humphrtes and Foley, of Colhngwood, soon taking the lead from the Neil Brothers of Harrie, the latter havmg subsequently to give way to Montgomery and Humpltries, the race resulting in favor of the Collingâ€" wood crew by any distance in 14:59 from Montgomery and Humphnes. THE FOUR-OAREIJ RACE. Speculation was rife as to who were to be declared winners. The Peterboroughs had the public ear on account of their bril- liant. race at anhine, while the ’l‘orontos‘ friends were confident that in the new boat by Coulter they would wipe out the defeat which they sustained at the hands of the Argonauts and the Peterborouzhs. The Leanders also had their itiends, they having won the race. last year in gallant style These three o'ews only turtth up, the Ar- gonauts being unable to be preSentmnd the Nautilus, of Hamilton, being unwilling. At the gun fire the 'iorontos got. first, away. they having also showed greater sharpness in a faise start. The Leanders were at work second,but on ‘he whole the start was a good one. The Torontos made the first signs of turning. and this they did very clu asin indeed. I’eterborough was sharp alter them, and got round beauti lly,there- by equalizing matters. The Leanders,when straightened out for home, were about two lengths in the rear, but were plainly out of the race. The Torontos led nnttl within 100 yards of home, though the Peter boroughs were pulling down the advantage inch by inch. W'lten withtn hail of the winning post the l’eterboroughs made a great spurt. and being in perfectly smooth water pulled the race out ofthe fire by hqu a length.
