THE OARSMEN.
Conclusion OF the Rnccs-Scencs and
Incidents ON the River-To-day's
Programme and Races.

passed OF successfully, as far as the oars
men were concerned, but the committees in
charge of the races by no means deserve
any credit. To use the language of
a number of prominent business men who
funds to help the local
clubs out, the regatta could not have fallen
into the hands of worse managers. Indeed,
everybody appeared to be disgusted with
the management, and IL will uphill work
for these people to secure assistance from
the business element again. To the credit
of the visiting oarsmcn it may be said, how
ever, that they did all that was expected
of them. Their rowing was magnificent, ana
they gave an exhibition in aquatics never
equalled on the Potomac before. The az
count in the regular edition of THE CRITIC
closed yesterday with the finish Of the
sixth race. This journal, with its usual
enterprise, was not called upon to issue an
extra edition in order to announce the re-
suit of that race. After our report closed
the scene on the river was cxhilarating.
The steamers Mystic and George Lcary,
and number of steam launches
from the Navy-yard, all loaded
with passengers, appeared upon the scene,
and the wharves and hillsidcs along the
course were quite thickly dotted with spec
tators. On the Virginia side there were
many spectators, but they were scattered at
of water craft oC some kind.
