REGATTA AT WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.

Worcester, Massachusetts, July 22.

Boating is the solo engrossing theme of the good citizens
of Worcester this evening, and the myriads of visitors
who, locust-like, swarm everywhere in the city seeking
what they may devour, are no less enthusiastic concerning
the sport. The first day of the regatta has been most
satisfactory to the public and the coutestauts themselves,
as the weather, the rowing, and the attendance have been
all that could be desired The extraordinary time made
by the Wards this afternoon is the prevailing topic.
Lake Qninsigamond was to-day the scene of great gaiety
and animation, its surface being fully as thronged with
exuberant holiday-makers as its shores. The rac3s were
all of interest. but the general excitement of the day was
concentrated in the ono between six-oared boats, in which
the Harvard University crew and the famous Ward
brothers were to contest again the victory won by the
latter at the Boston Regatta on the 4th instant. Another
fact which lent additional zest to this race was that
the Yale and Harvard crews having their race on Fri-
day the result of it would give a probable clue
to the issue of ~the latter. An the hotel accommoda-
tion in the vicinity of the lake is patronised to its utmost
capacity; Worcester is crowded with visitors, and the cry
is, " Still they come" The junior class boat of Harvard
was furnished to the Ward brothers; it is a M'Kay craft,
22 feet long, weight 1751b5. The Harvard crew rowed in
the boat of the Freshmen of the class of 1871, an Elliot
shell, 51.20 feet in length. The following were the crews :
Ward's boat—Bank Ward, stroke; Charles Gilbert,
" George" Raymond, Ellis, and Joshua, bow. Harvard
boat—A. P. Loring, stroke ; George W. Ifoldrege, bow;
H. C. Watson, W. ii. Simmons, J. W. M'Burney, and W.
W. Richards. Thera were also the Springfield Crew,
Boston Professional Ciew, and New Loudon Crew in
this race; but the public appeared to realize from the
first that their chances of success were hopeless. The
judges were Messrs. Frank Boyce, L. N. Kimqeal, C. A.
Chase, E. M. Rockwell, and James P. Hamilton. A num-
ber of celebrated oarsmen, among whom were Walter
Brown, McKiel, Biglin, John Blue, and John Tyler, were
present, and their criticisms and prophecies were listened to
with almost ludicrous earnestness by the anxious throngs
which lined the shores of the lake. Harvard's sons are, as
may be well imagined, in great force, and the colours of the
University, crimson, which were to-day worn prominently
lighted up the scene charmingly, and finished a fit addi-
tion to the brilliancy of les belles dames. A band was sta-
tioned on the grand stand, whose melodies floated grace-
, fully far away o'er the placid surface of the lake. The
racing was commenced at 2.20 p.m. by a race between
wherries ; distance, two miles ; first prize, $25 ; second,
$l5; open only to Worcester boats. The entries were—
Phantom (shell), E. B. Hamilton; Minnie (lapstreak), J.
0. Leary ; C. 0. Russell (shell), fi. E. Duncan. This ,e as
a very close affair between the Phantom and Minnie, the
former winning by only three seconds. Russell was dis-
tanced. Time, 18m. 4s.
July 23.

After the excitement and zeal with which the aquatic
sports were pursued yesterday, it was thoroughly pleasant
to rest "on one's oars" to-day, or, to speak more
quially, "to take it easy." This afternoon was signalized
by a base-ball match between the Freshmen Nines of Yale
and Harvard Universities ; and, after some good play on
both sides, resulted in a victory for the latter by 39 to 19.
The Harvards did not acquit themselves creditably in the
first inning, but in the second they did as they liked with the
rather loose fielding of Yale. The ball to-night was a most
recherche affair; Governor Bullock and many prominent
citizens were present, and the lady friends of the Yale and
Harvard boys, who have come to witness their grand con-
test to-morrow, mustered in full force. Worcester is
crammed to repletion with visitors, and speculation on the
event of to-morrow afternoon is fast and furious. The
magnificent performance of Harvard yesterday in their
race with the Wards constitutes them warm favourites,
although the Yale men do not hesitate to support their
representatives by money.
Worcester, Mass., July 24.

The single-scull race between John Tyler, of Boston,
and John KcKiel, of Cold Springs, N.Y., took place this
afternoon, and was won by Tyler, who made the two miles
iu 14m. 525., beating 111‘Kiel by ISs. The four-oared boat
race, three miles, for $2OO, was won by the Wards in
20m. 15s.

In the race between the Yale and Harvard crews, the
Harvards carried off the palm. Time, 1/.481.
