The Provos took the outside position. The Garlields caught the water lirst and took a lead of about live feet. Their pace was too heavy for them, for immediately one of their men caught a cramp and before recovery the Provos had got a steady swing on them and were in the load about a couple of lengths. The Garlields then pulled a desperate stroke, but it was easily seen that the race belonged to Provo. Both crews made a wide tour of the stake. Tho Provos were pulling the last quarter at a rattling pace, crossing tho line iu 11:18, leaving tho Garlields with 100 yarns to cover. Tho second race, a single scull, made up by Weber and Wood, was won by Weber in 11:851.. The race between the lightweights camo next. Provo had substituted two of her heavyweights, Wilson and Smith, in the place of Foley and Noblon, and at this the Garlield's'kicked. This difficulty diffi-culty was settled, however, and both crews got out and made a fine start. It was hard to tell which made the turn lirst, the time being 5:05. On the homestretch home-stretch the Garlields were pulling in biautiful form, with their boat's nose level with the Provos, and for a quarter of a mile neither crew mado a break. The home quarter was on the bow, with both crews on a level. Then Wilson Wil-son of the Proves veiled at his men and they fairly lifted the boat out of the water. The Garlields. undeavorcd to respond, but lacked tho staying qualities quali-ties of tho Provos, who 'finished lirst in 10:10, beating the time of tho heavyweight heavy-weight crew iit'iy-niue seconds. The last race was a double scull between be-tween P.ailcy and Orr, and Weber and Diuwoodey. It was won by tho latter pair in 14:20. . |
