The Tribune tomorrow will have the
following account Of the Saratoga regatta
"a fairer start was never made. The
Wards took the water mAgnIhcently, pump
ing away 81 Al strokes, while the Others
hesItAtsd q htIle a. though not quite ready.
At about quarter of nile from the start
the boats stood in the foloWing order: No.
BiglIn, one length and 9 half ahead; No.
2, TAy lor- Winship, one length ahead of
Tyne, which in turn was half 8 length ahead
OF the Wards. The BiglIns we're pulling
tremendous stroke of A 10 the minute, the
Tynes AZ, the Taylor inship 43, and the
Wards Al but the quick stroke OF the New
Y York boys could not last, and, with q spurt,
| the Winship men, who had dropped to SO,
increased their rate to Al, Q mile from start,
| while the Brooklyn boys dropped of to 80.
The Tyne crew was then making good time
at the rate of 3S strokes . minute, while
Ward who had taken the lead, pulled easily
along At 80. Bright, of the Tyne, while
doing his work well, showed his infsriority
to the other members of his crew, and it
Was generally remarked that with the la
msnted Renfortb, the champion Tyne, would
be different opponents for our men. The
little steamer was so far behind the boats
when they turned the stakes that it was i'm
possible to see their relative positions. 1t
was apparent, however, that the Wards had
the race in their own hands, as they went
round some seconds before any other boat
and started for home, in splendid style
pulling more than 80 or 80 strokes to the
minute.
The race having been accorded to chs
W ards, and the Rentorth crew having aha
Ken off the Biglins, 9 most exciting spuri
between the Taylor, Winship and the Big
| Inns crew for the lead and the third prizt
took place. From the little steamer it wal
| impossible to see which was ahead, but i
was plain that neither was destined to b.
the last half mile of the course three or foul
lengths ahead Of all competitors, and wer'
recognized by the crowds gathered on th'
lake, one great shout went up from the mul
titude, and passing from group to group, wa
repeated by the thousands st the south end
The Wards crossed the line in "a minutei
and 40 seconds from the time of starting
/ They rowed around in front of the gran'
stand, where they were greeted with the mos
enthusiastic applause. The Tyne boat
reached home three or four lengths behind
the Wards, and the Biglin and Taylor Win
ship boats were exactly together when thei
bows reached the line. The English men
thinking the race was done, stopped pulling
, while the New York boys gave one or tw'
good strokes, which put their stern across
line a little ahead of the others. The Judge
were unable to decide which was the winner
and il was left TO the referee. John Morril
, sew. who announced it dead heat.
