...RACE for single-sculls had been arranged to take place yesterday between Messrs. Le Moyne, Danforth, and Denton, under the direction of the executive committee of the H. U. B.

Seligman hugged the bank so closely after starting that he succeeded in running aground several times before the stake-boats were reached.
