He finished hilly a quarter of a mile out of his couise, but neatly onale\el with Hanlan. The umpire disqualified Gaiulaur for not keeping his proper course. Gaudaur's backer was appealed to as to what instructions he had f^iven him, or in what way he had 01 deled. the iace to bo rowed ; but he declined to make any statement, and said that the race had been loft because the conditions of the water wwe all in favour ot Hanlan winning.
