Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1883-08-14

The 14th OF August has been point In the cal
endar to which the oarsmen OF the city have
looked forward with much interest for some
months The success of the regatta to-day In
point OF public interest and character aud num-
Der OF the oarsmen participating has fulfilled the
expectations OF the most sanguine Columbia Boat
Club men.
ON THE RIVER LAST NIGHT
The Potomac was alive with boats OF all de-
scriptioas last evening. All OF the crews Who are
to take part in todays sports out for an even
Ing spn All OF the rowing was done down the river
on the nation course. Shells. gigs and pleasure
an interesting sight to the knots of spectators
gathered at the different boat houses. Specula-
ton was rife as to the result OF the races to-day,
Out there was very little betting.
sPECULATIONs AS TO THE FoUR-oARED SHE'LL RACE.
The greatest interest seems to be attached 70 the
four-oared shell race which will be rowed OF 80
O'Clock. The Hilsdales, from their reputation and
not from their appearance, are generally thought to
be the crew that will first cause the flag to drop
that the Ottawa crew and the Eclipse, OF New Or
leans, stand an equal show with the famous Hills
IN
OF the Hlllsdales AS they came up the river last
evening they were rowing at the rate of fifty
keel as II held In wise. The Otuawas row a
slower stroke. ard, as stated, many think they
rows the prettest stroke Of any OF the crews, and
although 1t is generally thought they have but q
small chance OF winning, there is material in their
boat to push them pretty we'll towards the front.
TALK ABOUT THE OTHER RACES.
The senior single race is expected to be very
hot fight Since the Passa1c regatta at Newark,
when Dempsey and Mckinney had such a close
rub. both OF those Oarsmen have been anxious to
meet again. They will undoubtedly watch each
other, but in doing so they had better see that
PilkingtOn does not slip past them. In the eight
cared race the odds seem to be in favor OF the
Metrorolitans but many think that the race will
be very close one.
