with much force that proved very annoying to the
Darsmen. AT noon the sun shone pleasantly, put tho
chilling wind continued until nightiaIl AS the pre-
iiminary heats OF the junior and senior sculis
were rowed In the morning early start
was required to catch the strong ebb tide
and thus The spectators at the commencement Of
tho regatta limited in numbers. These trial
heats were rowed down stream from Forence's dock
10 Gates lumber dock, but The afternoons sport,
when the iide food, just reversed the starting
and finishing points. All events were ono mile
straightaway. From two O'Clock until the last race
OF the day was decided tho river was crowded with
craft OF every description, the majority, however,
being at the finish line near McComb's Dam
Bridge. Here the barge William Ii. Vanderbilt was
stationed at the dock, and though the biting and
chilling wind made everybody very uncomfortable,
hundreds OF ladies' with wraps and shaws braved the
weather and remained until the close Of the aquatic
reunion. There were no delays during the day, the
competitors in each being called 10 the starting
point and sent on their journeys IN manner truly
commendabe.
While there werc many creditable performances by
the tho genuine surprises Of the day
were limited The victery OF the Arieis, of ofNewark,
J., in the sx-oared gig over the Columbia At
Atlanta, Dauntless and New York Athletic crews was
very unexpected, and many could hardly believe their
the private betting the field, their hackers
lost great deal OF money. None OF the other events
call tor particular comment al this juncture beyond
stating perhaps, that the Nautilus pair were badly
beaten ana the Nassaus won genuine victory with
the Columbus in the eight.oarcd sheh contest Mr.
Jasper a. Gooawin, IN all races In which Columbia
was not engaged, acted as referee he was assisted
by Mr.. a. L. Swan. OF the Atalanta Club. and Mr..
