Seec1aI Correspondence o. TIE Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.-The three weeks
racing which is TO introduce all the noted oars
men Il the world has begun, but the National
Amateur Regatta, which closes to-day, is but
the prelude OF the overture u the
exciting sport which is to follow in the
next two wcrks- The active e1crtlons OF
Commodore Fcrfuson, supported by the pupnc
spirit of the oa,smcn of Philadelphia, and a
very few Of her citizens, hare secured tie al
tendance not only Of all the amateurs OF note IN
the country, but two of the more famous college
>rcws,-Yale and Colunbia,-and fours repre-
scnti1lg Trinity College, Cambridge, ana the
London Rowing CLUB, neither Of which has ever

TIE COURSE.
P;,:1a4elnlians crow over their course, as It
!, we're the finest in the world, forgetting that
r.u. ,nrs,oen are satisfied with any test OF
skin and endurance such as can be fur
,;.h+1 nv q .uile-and-a-Aalf course, and the
r,,er Is too narrow to afford fair Chance
,,r turn. When this is said, there is nothing
to add against the COURSE The water Is always
smooth, and there is almost no pcrccptltie cur
rent. Tie starting point is at the northern end
ri the course, about 100 yards south from the
Falls bridge. Here four large rcd buoys are an
c1,,rcd a!togcthcr,-too close togethcr,-but
the width Of tho river will not permit any wider
snare. The course runs from this point nearly
l,,t, south fur Ii little moro than half mile
Du,ositc the old Strawberry Mansion it bends
gently to the west, giving straight sweep Al
;nnst. due suutllues for q mile, finishing few
rods ub.yc tile Realling Railroad bridge
