OUT DOOR SPORTS.

Much to the regret OF all here, the
Columbus only rJwed Il quarter OF
mile i'm the four cared race.
It was generally conceded that they
would win the eights, but In the
fours they would have met foemen
worthy of their oars. The club Is as
cautious in council as it Is brave in
action, and the fact that none o. the
other fours had eight cared crews en-
tered, probably determined them only
to start to save their entrance fee. The
Fairmounts gave all their attention to
| their four, and did not attempt to enter
an eight. The result of the four cared
race showed that the Canadian crew,
though new one, Is very fast one.
The Port Huron crew did not show up.
This Is the second year in succession
! that the senior four cared race at the
National Regatta has been won by our
brothers across the border In the dis
patches yesterday morning, Murphy Of
Boston was not shownas having started
in the senior single scull race. lie won
his heat, however, and also won the
final, with Mulcahcy second. Snyder Of
Albany won the junior singles. The
Crescents of Boston, Murphy and
! O'Neill, won the double scull race.
The Ariels Of Newark won the pair
cared.
The case Of Mumiord did not come
up at the National regatta. 1t will
probably be heard at the meeting OF the
executive committee In October.
The Nautilus crew was heavily backed
to win the fours at Boston. The Ca
madam scullers and crews always are
backed to standstill.
The boats Of the Columbus will be
put upon the steamer again and taken
around TO Fortress Monroe by water.
The crew will come on by rail, arriving
here tomorrow. They will leave next
week for Fortress Monroe.
The Joint regatta committee meets
to night at the Columbia Boat Club
rooms, on New York avenue, near Eff.
teenth street, to hear what evidence
there is that the Washington Club
bought the race with the Elizabeths at
Fredericksburg. 1t is hoped by the
Wasbingtons that the fullest publicity
will be given to the investigation. There
is nothing in their record that they do
not want the broadcast light thrown
upon.
1t Is rather doubtful il the Analostan
Junior gig crew will go to the Fort re.
gatta after all. The crew are all
anxious TO, but they got together them.
selves and have been rowing but short
time, and there is a question in The
boat. house committee about sending
them.
1t is pretty we'll settled that Eckstein
Somers and Janus will be members OF
the junior four OF the Analostans. The
fourth man has not been decided upon
though Pairo has been rowing bow
some; and new man, Hillyer, has beer
tried at No. =. The latter is very
powerful fellow and ought to make s
great oar. AS yet he has had but little
experience. III Pairo rows, the crew
will probably be Ecksten, stroke; Jan
nus, 8; Pairo, 2; Somers, bow.
The Junior crew of the Columbia;
this year will be even better than it wa
last, and the lightweight will be TIT

though a large share of the medals
would fall to the lot OF the Columbus
The disagreement about the Wash

poets good deal. Never before has |
been so hard to get medals from on
business men. 1t is funny that som'
people are blind to this.
