The REGATTA ON THE SATURDAY, AND THE
REVIEW OF THE SOHUYLKILL NAVY TODAY
The interest manifested in the various matches
throughout the week the Schuylkill was
increased to the utmost by the contest of Satur-
day, the siX-oared outrigger barge Atalanta, and
the eight-oared gunnel barge Excelsior, ooth
belonging to the At8lanLa Club of New York,
being among the attractions on the river. The
day was most favorable for the purpose, and
Fairmount Park, and all the avenues thereto,
were greatly crowded. 1t is estimated that there
were at least three thousand persons present.
On the water q number of eXcurslonists went
along with the boats in the small steamers that
run up and down the river, with great num-
Der of small boats of every kind, from the small
skeleton outrlgger to the roughest Hatbot-
toned skiH.
The following six-oared boats we're in line
precisely at the hour named for the first race:-
Atalanta, OF the Undlne Club; Faugh-a-Ballagh,
of the Philadelphia Club; and Hiawatha, of the
Malta Club. The boats started well together,
and the race throughout was well contested,
adding much to the excitement OF the occasion,
and when the Atulauta came in ahead the cheer
ing of the crowd was almost deatening. The
distance passed over was three miles, and the
time was as llows:-Atalanta, l8 minutes SO
seconds; ugh-a-Ballagh, IS minutes seconds;
and HiaWatha, 10 minutes 40 seconds.
The second race was between the tour-oared
outrigger boats Onward, of the Neptune Club,
and the Cygnet of the Quaker CITY CLUB. The
Lotus, of the Bachelor Club, which was orlgl-
naly entered for this race, was Withdrawn the
day preceding in consequence OF the sickness OF
one of the crew. This race like its predecessor,
20 minutes 10 seconds; the OnWard's time being
