The four-oared shell race between the Columbus.

hundred OF the members Of the two local clubs 60
| down the river Thursday night on the George
leary to spend the Fourth In Norfolk. Early yes
| terday afternoon large crowd collected at the
| finish OF the course.
The first race, two miles, which was called at
half-paSt two O'Clock, was between four-oared gig
crews OF longshOremen and sailors the latter from
the L. s. S. Franklin. The greater part OF the race
| was rowed in a thunder shower. The lOngshoremen
| forged ahead in the first half mile, and gradually
increased the lead, crossing the line winners by
| nearly dozen lengths

/ The shell race was the second event OF the day,
| and in it the greatest interest conferred The Co
! lGmbias and PotomacS were represented reSpec-
| lively by Their regular four-oared senior crews
! Mute, Kfntner kOndrup and Wade, and McRae,
| Baker, Ryan and Mckinney. The Elizabcths had
| almost entirely a new crew, but one OF the men

they were confident Of winning; and the crew was

should he for two miles with Il turn: but as the
rules OF the national association were to be en-

OF their long reach was apparent. They pulled

THE THIRD RACE
Was between gig crews belonging to the Virginia
Association. The starters were the Cockade City
AID the Appomattox, OF Petersburg. and the Nor
folk gymnasium crew. Just before the start was
made second thunder storm arose and the race
was r0wed in the rain The Cochade City got
away INST. with &pnomattON second. The Norfolk
crew by good steady pulling had forged ahead at
the half-Inila and Kept It TO the finish, winning in
1881, Cockade CITY second.
