Four-Uared Crews-Tbe scuilers.
The fourth annual meeting of the Har-
lem Regatta Association was an event Of yester- |
day. The association embraces the Athletic, |
the Atalsnts, the Columbia College, the Daunt- |
less, the Nautilus, the Nassau, the New York, |
tho Rowing Club, aud the Stock Exchange Row |
ing Association, and all the other prominent |
clubs on the river The william Tittamet, the |
Only Son, and a large barge we're chartered by |
the association, and several steamers and
tugs steamed pell nell after the contestants
In each race, and succeeded In Rettiug In
each others way admirably. One steamer ran
across the track Of the pretty Columbias boat
and partly demolished 1t. The policing Of the
river was poorly attended to. the small boats
evincing an entire disregard for the rights OF
the racers. There were seven events, all OF them
Interesting. The course for all was one
mile straight away IRON Gatess lumber dock to
Florenco's dock, just below McComb's Dam
Bridge. This course, though good enough for
single scullers, OF barge races, wa. ridiculous as
a course for fours. The Atlanta Club won every
race but one, a d in that their colors did not
appear. The races were all rowed with u strong
hood and sti6 following breeze:

son started. The committee and their friends
menopolized the judges boat. the press being
excluded and as the Only Son laid stupidity at
the dock, nothing OF the race could be seen.
The ofncial time was Rodgers, 653S Robin
son, $50. The second race was for par oars
with the following crack crews

tsstants for while, the Captain Of the Only
Son got out Of the way and le. the race pro-
ceed. The Atalantas hung back In the START,
and let tho Athletics and Nautilus play with

however, and ON the last quarter took decided
