Second Open Regatta of the Harlem
Association.
SPIRITED AND INTERESTING RACES
Large Crowds Witness the Contests and
Cheer the Winners.

stiff breeze IRON the westward blew across the course
with uch force that 1t proved very annoying to the
sarsmen. AT the sun shone pleasantly, but tho
chilling wind continued until nighria. As the pre-
liminary heats OF the junior and senior souls
were rowed in the morning early start
was required to catch the strong ebb tide,
and thus the spectators at the commencement OF
The regatta were limited In numbers These trial
heats were rowed down stream from Florence's dock
TO Gates lumber dock, but The afternoons sport,
when the iide was food, just reversed the starting
and finishing points. All events were ono mile
straightaway. From two O'Clock unit! the last race
OF the day 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 ladies' wraps and shawls braved the
weather and remained until the close Of the aquatic
reunion. There no delays during the day, the
competitors in each being called 10 the starting
point and their journeys IN a manner truly
commendable.
While there wsrc many creoitable performances by
the tho genuine surprises OF the day
were limited. The victsry OF the Aries, OF Newark,
J., in the sxoared gg race over the Columbia, At
Atlanta, Dauntless and New York Athletic crews was
very unexpected and many could hardly believe their
the private betting the held their hackers
los, great deal OF money. None OF the other events
call tor particular at tins juncure, beyond
stating perhaps, that the Nautilus pair were badly
beaten ana the Nassaus won genuine victory with
the Columbus in the eight-oarcd shell contest. Mr.
Jasper 4. Gooowip, IN all races in which Columbia
was not engaged, acted az referee. He was assisted
by Mr. A. L. Swan, OF the Atalanta Club, aud Mr.
Julian Kennedy, late OF Yale College. Inc stations
NUMBERED from the New York shore.
