Ho, for Tomlin'sl was the word passed
yesterday afternoon among the members
of the many boat clubs whose cosey
quarters border the picturesque river
walk in Hoboken, and it was not long
before the houses were deserted and one
and all set sail for Gutenberg.
Tonlin's is always pleasing stopping
place for our oarsmen, but it had an added
interest for them yesterday, being the
rendezvous for the rival clubs. who were
anxious to try their mettle against each
other once more in the annual regatta.
The Rosedales were there, looking gay
and confident, willing to wager unlimited
wealth upon the success of Lucian Alces,
their handsome captain, in the single gig
race.
The Actives were close behind them,
equally sanguine of the success of their
crew in the four-oared barge race.
The blue and gold of the Atalantas, the
unique fez of the Hillsides, and the pic
turesque costumes of the HudsOns, the
Seawanhakas, the Waverlys, the Wyan-
okes, the Bohemians and the Atlantics
were everywhere to be seen as the rowers
fitted here and there in shells, gigs and
bavges.
The races had been scheduled to start
at three O'Clock sharp but when that
hour arrived several Interruptions caused
delay. PilKington, who, with Naegie
won the double SOUL race and the cham
pionship of America at Chicago some
days ago, asked the Regatta Committee
to allow him to row in the single gig race,
but they refused.
The cause of their refusal was that at
the last meeting Of the committee it de-

with the adoption of the minutes.
Pilkington's entry came afterwards
and was consequently ruled out.
A piece of clumsineSs a moment after
ward also delayed the start A man
shouldered keg of beer, and tried to
in the Atlantic's annex house to the
float. His foot slipped and he dropped
the keg upon the four-oared barge of the
Actives, MASKING hole through it.
g Fortunately the Actives had another
barge with them and so they did not
lose their chance to race. Then the
flags at the turn of the course were found
to have been placed a half-mile too far
from the start and the referee caused
them to be properly set before the races
began.
It was Just fifty-four minutes past four
O'Clock when Alces, of the Rosedales, and
Saenger, of the Actives, drew alongside
the judges boat and prepared to contest
the supremacy of the single gig race

The event of the day was the four-oared
barge race with crews from the Alta
lantas, Atlantics, Hillsides, Bohemians
and Actiyes as starters. The crews
maintained a perfect line for nearly a
quarter of mile.
The Atlantics gradually forged ahead.
The Actives challenged them, but the At
lantics passed the line four lengths
ahead, only to hear the referee give the
race to the Actives.
Captain Steel and Coxswain Brandt en-
tered protest against the referees rul-
ing but without avail. Time, 10 minutes,
30 seconds.

scented with handsome prizes at Tomlin's
Hotel.
