Second Day Of the National Regatta.


SUMMARY OF YESTERDAYS RACEs-A FINE FIELD
To-DAY-THE CONVENTION AT MASONIC TEN
PIE.
The rowing yesterday lasted six hours, and
when the white flag was dropped at dusk
for the last time the spectators were tired
enough, though all admitted that the rowing
had been splendid. The crowd on the shore
doubled after three o'clock when numerous
recruits were received from the departments
The scenes on the river during the day were
very interesting. Many small boats and scows,
converted temporarily into floating barrooms
and refreshment stands, were moored against
the Virginia shore. The small army of people
on the river in pungies and row boats, who were
kept in parched and thirsty state, made fire.
quent excursions to these places.
THE TRIAL HEATS
yesterday developed the fact that no stronger
array of Oarsmen was ever assembled at ma
tiOnal regatta. The records made will be hard
to beat, the champions Of former years having
fairly Outstripped themselves. The result of the
first seven races was given in the two editions
of yesterdays STAR. The following is a sum-
mary OF the winners and the times made by
them during the day:

pany. The Columbia club withdrew one of it's
crews, and the other was last in its heat. Nor

THE POOL SELLING TO-DAY.
There were lively times in the pool room at the
Imperial to-day. In the fOur-oared race the
Hillsdale crew were barred in the pools, and the
Elizabeth and Minnesota were selling even. In
the pair-oared race, Albany was selling even
against the field. The Pawtuckets still led in
the double SOULS at the rate of 25 against 20 for
the field. The Metropolitans, in the ''eghths,''
sold for lO against for the POtOmac's, and 5 for
the Narragansetts The Eurekas had the call in the
SKIES, though few sales were made Appley sold
even against the field in the Junior Singles, and
l4aing was favOrite at the same odds in the
Senior Singles. A STAR reporter asked know
ing looking sportingman, who was keeping close
to the pool box, why the Athletics sold so low
in the double sculls, after making such a mag
nlficent exhibition in the trial heat yesterday
"YOu see" said the sportingman, looking still
more knowing ''these Canadians came down
here well-lined to back their men. The Athletics
have no hackers here, but, to use a gamblers
phrase, at the rate they're selling it's good bet
even if a man loses.''

ing looking at the sights A little after noon they
began to assemble at the boat houses. It was
feared this morning that the regatta would be
interrupted by rain.
