Cannon had won the choice OF places, and took the
first stakeboat from the eastern shore; Englehardt
was beside him, with Larens for netghbor, and
Deely on the outside.
STARTING FROM THE HOME STAKES
Cannon was q little too anxious 10 get away, and
the men had to be recalled for second start, when
they we're sent on Deely shot quickly ahead, cross
Eng Larens' water, while EnRlehardt served Cannon
in similar manner. 'Deely was pulling forty-sx

and Cannon about even on sweeping
sufficiently ahead to allow MIN to take the
Greenpointer's water: Cannon and Larens were
pulling easily the end or the first mile, both being
about seven lengths behind Englehardt. lodging
match ensued between Deely and the Long Island
man, the former endeavoring to keep the wash on
his opponent, who was also struggling hard 10 leave
1t.
At last the water seemed clear before him, and
he pulled steadily ahead but Deely had his shell in
advance OF him, and the result was collision.
Deely stopped rowing and raised his hand as II to
claim foul; this was just for q moment, and then
the contest was resumed. John Biglin appeared on
the course in his shell coaching the BY turns and

wary, however, anu kept well out OF his way.
AT THE LOWER sTAKEBOAT.
The time In turning the lower stakeboat was
Englehardt, 1880; Deely, 1916; Larens, 1890;

and again took Larens water. Al the Columbia
Bridge Englehard was seven lengths ahead, with
Deely cutting down the gap on sau,I this we, well
behind. Deely continued to crawl up on Engle
hardt and was making it close quarters for
him, when the latter, for the first time during the
race, increased his stroke, and as the men were al
most together the struggle was hot and exciting

quick as lightning on the dip, recoil and finish.
ENGLEHARDTs TRIUMPH.
Englehardt held his own very nicely, however,
and passed the stakeboat in thirty-four minutes
and twenty seconds, and poor Deely was defeated
after one OF the most gallant struggles ever wit

defeated on his merits.
Cannon and Deely were taken on board the Fred

IN good spirits, considering their defeat. Larens
had hardly expected victory considering his unfit

after all the vexations and excitements OF the
meeting, the first regatta OF the Schuylkill Navy
was over and no complaint or cavil has been heard
concerning it. The sun had just gone down behind
curtain OF purple Clouds and the clear sky above
was streaked with gold and crimson. The return
to town was enlivened with social peasantness and
vocal ebulitions and then the words OF parting was
spoken with hope that each succeeding year
would witness an amateur boating reunion on the
SChuykill.
