THE EIGHT-OARED CREW GAINS NEW LAuREIS.
The final event of the national amateur row.
Ing regatta on the Charles river yesterday was
the race for eightoared boats. There were but
two entries-the Columbia crew, of this city,
and crew from the Crescent club, of Boston.
The race was q very pretty one until very near
the finish, when the Columbus shot ahead and
crossed the line in 7.46as, which was five sec
ondS ahead of the record.
The New York Herdids report speaks of the
eight-oared race won by the Columbia crew as
foiiows lone of the finest contests of the day.
which was also one of the most exciting ever
witnessed, and the fastest in the class ever
rowed, was the eight-oared race between the
Columbia crew, of Washington. and the Cres-
by the contesting crews and they maintained
even terms to within 100 yards of the finish.
Not at any time during the race until nearing
the finish did either crew have half a boats
length advantage over the other, and whatever
advantage there was was shared alternately.
When nearing the finish, however, the Column
Ola crew did some of the finest work ever wit
messed in similar contest. Their powerful
stroke fairly lifted their boat out OF the water.
ana 1t was forced over the surface of the river
IKE an arrow. Before the Crescent men had
fairly begun to respond the CoIumbias had
secured a lead OF a length and half. by which
distance they won amid tremendous enthu-
sla>m, In I'm. 46a4s., beating the record by 3
