Boat Clubs, VIII take place on the Harlem River.
The event has Ueen looked forward to with great
deal OF interest Tor weeks pack among not only
the different clubs, but in aquatic circles gene
rally. All the best scullers in the city are men,
bers OF one other OF the Harlem clubs, and as
these annual regattas on The Harlem are the only
opportunities IN ana about New York
waters IN which these amateurs can test
their respective skill as oarsmen, I'M
less, indeed, In match races to-morrow's display
Will be anxousy welcomed. In the races, which
Will commence at two O'Clock in the afternoon, all
the cluos ~ tae association Will be represented;
some with lours, others VITA pairs, and with the
exception Oh the Atalanras and Nassaus, all will
have competitors to struggle for the diamond
sculis, which are at present held by william B.
Curtis, OF the kthetic Cub. The trial heats for
single souls viii be rowed nrst, ana in this heat

anu from the fact that both men are champions
Of their respective cluos che contest VIII not lack
the Jour cared shells Will be called The Gramercy
four and the Athletics Jour VIII be the first to
t commence the the racing. In these heats, unlike
which Is one mile straight away from the powder
schooner to Macom)'s Dam Bridge, the crews VIII
the powder schooner to high Bridge instead
The GraInercy crew will labor under the disad-
vantage OF having to row with new man
ton when II Is considered that the bow
oarsman Is also the coxswain OF the boat. The
Athletics on the contrary, Will have good, we'll
trained, though light crew. In the second heat
the Atalantas win have IN opportunity of testing
four. who strong believers in the imported sys
tenn. A. the Ataanta's race with Yale Is or and
the New YORK crew pull similar stroke to that OF
Wlthers II his crew should succeed in "walking
away" with the system which Yale cutivates aud
the New York copies In the race which succeeds
the pairs OF the New York, Nassau and Harlem
VIII strive 1ol the honors OF the Ladies' Challenge
prize. In this das.l--which Will be mile straight
away-the one trial viii settle the question, and to
the vlctors wni be awarded the prize. Wilbur
Bacon, the famous stroke OF Yale In days gone by,
Will take his Old place, with Frank Ellison IN The
bow OF the boat tomorrow. That they
viii have to WORK for victory is evident,
from the TACT that Frank Brown and John
A. Walker. OF the Nassans, fresh from their
they won the prizes for PAIRS and doubles against
the rowing iOrce OF Schuylklll navy will be their
opponents. The Nassau Clnb also won the LADIES'
Challenge prize last year, ana that the two oars
men mentioned Will do their ''level best" to hold
on to that which was won twelve months ago no
one Tor moment doubts. The pair from the Har-
lem show considerable pluck, ana will also take
hand 10 this race, and, although the pair is light
taken. The final neat Tor singles the victor Of
which Will hold Tor one year the diamond SOULS OF
the association Will hen be rOwel, and the days
regatta with conclude with the dual for tours
when Will be rowed from High Bridge down the
river to the powder schooner. Everything
promises well Tor this the second annual meeting
OF the Harlem Regatta Association proving most
successful affair In every respect.
