ESPECIAL DISPATCH To THE WORCESTER srY.I

SPRINGFIELD, July %.
The day appointed for the annual college re-
gatta has come and gone, but the races have
not yet taken place. The trouble was caused by
a breeze from the south, that blew directly
against the current, and the waves were angry
and troublesome, threatening any boat that
claims the name of a racing seull with difficult
ty if it ventured out upon the liver Early in
the afternoon the crowd began to gather on the
shore of the course, most of them coming down
on foot as it was the only reliable means of
transportation. Once at the river they
showed determination to remain while there
was any hope of race, but finally, tired OF
waiting and watching, and tired of standing or
sitting on the banks of the river, they slowly
wended their way back TO the city, tired, DIS
heartened and vowing that they would never 90
10 another boat race. The crews and committee
waited until after six O'Clock hoping that the
water would become favorable, and that the
contests would take place. Finally they were
obliged to announce that the races would not
take place until Wednesday morning at half
past eight and the thousands who had walked
from two to five miles in order to see the con-
tests turned hOmeward a disconnected set
There is no assurance that the water will be in
any better condition tomorrow morning,
as the slightest breeze from the south
creates so much trouble that it is an
impossibility for the boats to have water upon
which they can row. A straight away race is
at best slim affair for the spectators, and the
attendance tomorrow will undoubtedly fall
much short of what it was to-day. The ac-
commodations for getting to the course are
nothing to be recommended to the public, as
almost the only means of conveyance was by
private conveyance or upon two small steamers,
and as one of these had heavy barge in tow
it was only able to make one trip during the
afternoon. The only class of people who were
satisfied with the termination of the races were
the hotel keepers and proprietors of livery sta
beS, and if the latter get the same prices for
their conyeyances tomorrow they will be in
good condition to replenish their establish
mentS,

POSITIONS AND JUDGES.

WHO is GOING TO wIN2

This still seems 10 be the grand question, and
professional oarsmen that have usually been
able to pick the winning crew, are this year un.
able to decide which is the winning boat In
the pools this morning, first one had the call
and then another, the Harvard, Bowdoin and
Agricultural being the ones who usually sold
first. The others were sold in the field when no
one was willing to pay for the fourth choice.
In pools where there was fourth choice, it was
Yale, and at one time it sold as first choice
while again Williams had the first call, but soon
was sold in the field. Offers to back one crew
against any other that can be named, are fire.
