 GENEVA, Sept 3.-After two Vexatious postponements the regatta of the Geneva rowing association came of this afternoon.

At ? o'clock the bells of the village were rung to call the people together, and at 3:27 the four-oared crews were started. The distance was one mile and return. Only the Albany and Hobart rowing clubs appeared It was a one-sided affair all through. The Albanys were compelled to row waiting race and won by dozen lengths time 15m. 444s.
 The amateur singles, one mile and return, were called next There were seven contest ants. The race belonged to Holmes, but three-quarters of a mile from home he got into the swell of steamer. Gaisel went ahead of him and he also pulled into rough water and was passed by Murray. In this style they finished; time Murray, 14.164, Gaisel 14.4s4, Holmes 15.o9a. Larmno, Courtneys nephew, did not enter, as he had not suitable boat.

At the two and three quarter mile buoy Hos mer was leading Riley by length. Suddenly he stopped rowing The man had lost his wind Lee had found it too hot race and dropped out quarter of mile behind be- fore Weisberger had caught up to him. Hos mer caught his breath and from that point it was strong fight for second place, which Hosmer won by half length.
