Centering in the Eight-OHred Race.
Special Dispatch.
NEWARK, N. j., Aug talking every
thing together the afternoons racing was un-
usually interesting, with none of the dullness
of trial heat days. There was general regret
that the Hillsdales started badly, and suffered
disqualification at the same time The Cres-
cents are fast, and many believed thoy would
win. They have splendid prospects of win
ming tho championship tomorrow, the field
being the Bradfords, of Cambridge, tho
Wolverhooks, of Green Bath, the Eu.
rekas, of Newark, and the Crescents.
The Eurekas will at least gain second
place. The Hillsdaes are worn out by
long travel, and no doubt will soon give proof
of their great ability. Tho final heat for
junior singles tomorrow will include Bryan,
Killian and Grayson, and the senior singles,
final heat between Casey, Buckley, Murphy,
and Lang, of Canada. Almost the entire
interest, however, centers in tho eight cared
shell race.
