pened this afternoon in the shape of a Sc
we're wind and rain, and interfered with
| the races fixed for to-day on the Schuyi-
kill After an hour of heavy rain there was
a cessation, though it continued cloudy.
Considerable time was occupied in adj
justing the stake boats at upper end of the
course finally the boats to compete for the
fOur-Oared gig race over the three mile
course were called into position. The
Crescent and Quaker City Clubs, both Of
Philadelphia had boats of $50 pounds
weight. The COwper Club of Savan-
nah appeared in cypress dugout
boat, weighing $50 pounds. The dis
parity in the weight of the boats was
counterbalaneed by the COwper Club
having a small boy as COxBwain. The
Quaker City objected to this but the Cow
pers were allowed to run. The race started
at a quarter to six O'clock The Quaker
City took the lead, and gave the COwpers
their wash. The Crescents maintained
second position to the stake-boat where
the Quaker was five lengths ahead Of the
Crescent, the Cowper being last.
The same relative positions were main
tanned throughout the Quakers winning in
nineteen minutes tWenty-One seconds
Crescents' time nineteen minutes thirty-fve
seconds. Cowpers time nineteen minutes
hfty-twO seconds. The second race was for
single shells over five mile course. -Four
boats started-G. Englehardt, Sewenhaka
Club, Green Point, Long Island; r
b. Deeley, Gulick Club, New York;
John Lavens, Pennsylvania Club,
Philadelphia; and w. RI. Cannon, Of
the Gulick Club. Deeley got ahead
at the start, maintaining it for
some distance, when EDglehardt
passed him, during which a slight
foul occurred, but not sufficient for
Deeley to enter protest. Layens came
next, and Cannon to rear They turned the
stake boat in the same order, Englehardts
time being sixteen minutes thirty seconds,
Deeley's sixteen minutes fOrty-8ix seconds,
Lavens seventeen. Soon after this Cannon
was dstanced, and Lavens gave up the
contest, leaving Englehardt and Dee
lev, who contested the race TO the
starting point with great yigor. AZ the
upper end of Parters Island Englehardt
was but four lengths ahead, but after this
Englehardt spurted ahead followed by
Deeley, and the race closed with despe-
rate struggle between the two, Engle-
hardt passing the line two lengths
ahead, making five miles in thirty
four minutes twenty seconds amid great

of amateurs interested in the Schuylkill
