The Regatta-ArriVaI of More ROats-Bn-
lizards, tNe.
On Saturday afternoon, several boats arrlv-
ed by the afternoon freight train from Boston,
which, by the kindness of Mr.. Firth, was
stopped at Davis Cottage, where the valuable
freight was unloaded as carefully as though 1t
had been rare porcelain, and launched in Lake
Quinsigamond. Timely aid was rendered by
the AtaIanta boat club of this city, who, to-
gether with the Phantom club and Others, had
rowed down to welcome the expected boats.
This train brought the new Harvard" shell
boat, which is devoted to alma mater, and
which is to be rowed by the most experienced
oarsmen OF Harvard College also the "The.
It's" and "Haidee," both lapstreak boats, the
former to be rowed by members of the fresh
man class, and the latter by the sophomores of
Harvard College; and the famous fouroared
shell and its crew, of the Union club, Boston.
| There came also two wherries-one owned by
George w. Smalley, and one the property OF
Thomas Kinnicutt One or two boats, to be
used for transporting the luggage, completed
the list.
AT half past seven o'clock the "Brunonia,"
and the new Brown" from Brown UNIVERSE
| ty, arrived at the Cottage, where they were
received by the Atalanta club and escorted to
the big tent near the floating bridge, where
the Yale, Harvard, and Union boats lay in
state. There are now gathered there eight six
cared boats, one four-oared boat, and three
wherries-all additional to the Worcester
navy
There is noticeable difference in the appear
ance of the several race boats which lay
stretched out under the tent ike so many
pickerel. The new Brown" which weighs
with its outriggers only one hundred and
twelve pounds, commands considerable atten-
ton for its beauty and extraordinary lightness.
The Yale freshmen's boats differs somewhat
from ordinary lapstreak boats, partly resem-
bling shell boat. The Harvard freshmen,
who have the reputation of being the most
promising crew ever formed at Harvard, will
have to pull the "Thetis," which is an ordina-
ry lapstreak, against this boat, and this race
promises to be n close one-in fact, both the
class races cannot fall much behind the Uni
versity race in interest.
1t is quite probable that among the contest
ants in the wherry race, on Wednesday, will
appear Hancon of Newburgh, N. Y, who so
CALAMITY won the prize last year; Ward, the
champion rover, also from Newburgh and
Doyle, Boston oarsman. The race for dou-
bic souls also promises to be an interesting
one On Wednesday the interest in the
fourth race will be greatly heightened by the
fact that the Union Clubs four Dared boat will
enter with hopes of victory, regarding the
Harvard" and the "Yale" as their only real
competitors. Large numbers of students from
day, and a large delegation from Boston will
come tomorrow, as this regatta is considered
to promise unusual attractions.
The clubs which are already here are To-
Gated at the different hotels as follows: Brown
at the Waldo House, Yale at the Lincoln, Har-
ward at the Bay State, and the Union club at
the Exchange hotel
The freshman classes of Harvard ard Yale
will also indulge in billiard match at some
convenient time, while they are here. Phe-
Ian, the great billiard player, is expected to
bring one of his tables to-day, which will be
put up in Brinley Hall for the purpose. There
will probably be a chess match also, and
Champion and Baldwin, who were here last
year, are expected to play for Yale.
Among the boats which may be expected
tomorrow are two of McKay's four-oared
boats from New York.
