early out of the race. No. 3 was excellently steered by Caldwell, but was unable to take the lead from No. 1. which got in ahead nicely. Won by 1 lengths.

The race was half-an-hour late in starting, regrettable to state, and when the boats mado an appearance further time was lost in getting them to live up. The fire got off to a poor start; the R.
