The REGaTTA.-About 10000 people as
scmnled at Fredericksburg on Saturday TO
witness the Virginia State regatta, which
wh;,h cam" oG very successfully. The hrst
! race. uas &c, four cared shells between a
limit weight crew from the Poumacs, Of
| Washington, and the Rappahaanocks, OF
Fredericksburg This was won by the Pc
tomacs by four lengths.
la the second race for senior four cared
shells between the Washington Rowing
Club, Of Washington. and the Elizabeths, OF
Portsmouth, . great deal or interest was
centred. The race was given to the wash
ingtons by Referee Durand, owing to
foul which ne decided was caused by the
Elizabeths, though the latter came in at the
finish two or three hundred yards ahead.
The race for State singles, which came
third on the programme. between Butter
Malone, of the Cockade City. Club, of Pc.
tersburg, and White, of the Norfolks, was
easily won by White.
The event of the day was the race for
four-oare gigs for the French cup. The
entries were as follows: Virginias, of Rich
mond Cockade City, of Petersburg; Nor
folks, of Norfolk and the Old Dominions, of
this city. The Norfolks were the favorltes,
with Virginias second in the pools. The
start was fair one and the race was well
contested throughout, the lead alternating
from one to the other for the first half mile.
At this point the Norfolk and Cockade City
crews fell behind leaving the others to con-
test for The race Both crews pulled finely,
hut the Virginians got the lead by about
half !. length, which they held to the finish,
Outstanding tho splendid effort made
BY the Alexandria boys. The Old Domln-
ion crew were quite elated at making such
a good second, it being the first race in
which thew had ever entered. The Norfolks
made a bad third, closely followed by the
Cockatle City crew.
The last race was one for singles between
Kennedy, of the Potomacs, and Smithson, of
the Washingtons, and was won by the latter
by, about length and half.
4 good deal of money changed hands on
these races, especially on the one for gigs,
the result being far different than was anti
cipatod At night the crews were enter
tanned by the Fredericksburg crew, after
which they left for home.
The crew and the other members Of the
Old Dominion Club who attended the re.
gatta returned to this city yesterday morn
ing bringing with them handsome silver
cup which they won as second prize. They
were warmly welcomed home by number
of their friends, who escorted them to their
boat house.
In speaking of the Old Dominion Club
the Washington Herald says: "The rowing
of this club called forth great applause, it
being equal to any seen in the race, and if
they keep up their training they will be-
come dangerous at the Potomac regatta"
