A match for a gold medal is talked about by the friends of both parties, the result of the race to depend on a single heat. It seems advisable, however, to some of Wendell's friends that the trial should be the best two in three heats, as Lee's incomparable way of starting might, in a single heat, be sufficient to give him the victory...
