was still a chance for race, however.
The cherry colored flag was even with
the stern of the leading four and Cor
don was squirting to make up the dist
ance. The finish was too near through,
and despite all efforts the lead could not
be reduced, and the white flag went
over the line with several lengths of a
lead, after hard and exciting race.
The starters for the senior single were
r. j. Knox, winner OF last years junior
race, and George Nettleton, who won
the same race yesterday. Again it was
a good start, and at just Impressions the
men looked evenly matched. Knox,
however, easily succumbed to the
superior training Nettleton has under
gone, and the latter padded home an
easy winner.
Senior FOurs.
For the senior tours the crews were
Nettleton bow, Jaggard 2, Wright 3
and Brown stroke. In the second boat
Armstrong was bow, Paget 2, Lemon 3
aud Bigelow stroke. Browns crew flew
the cherry-colooed ribbon and Bigel0w's
the white. The latter had somewhat
the advantage in catching the water at
the start, but lost it on account of
ragged work by 2 and 3. This was
but momentary, however, and after the
first dozen strokes both crews were
pulling smooth stroke with the pink
flag leading by third of length. 1t
was race to the turn. when Brown
took fresh grip and got down to his
old stroke of 81, increasing the lead to
length. BigeloW was still fresh, how
ever, and calling on his men closed it
up to half length in the next quar-
ter. Nettleton, Jaggard and Wright
pulling bow, two and three in the lead
ing, however, were more than match
for the men in the same positions in the
other boat, at least in point of training,
and seemed full of going when sighted
from the island, while ragged work
under the white flag by numbers one
and two betrayed fatigue. Bigelow
called for a squirt as the finish ap-
preached, but it wasn't there, and the
race was lost by two lengths, the win
ners padding across the line in 9:21.
The entries for the tub race were N. j.
Boyle and w. Ii. Yardley. The former
won by close thing, and this, with the
swimming race won by George Bigelow
from Sharp and Peabody, closed the
proceedings. Then came hustle on
the part of the winners to get into their
clothes for the
Presentation of Prizes
which occurred in the club house recep-
ton room. Judge Kerr, in presenting
the mayors cup to the winning crew of
junior fOurS, gave short address APP
propriate to the occasion, and Mr.. L.
f. Schumacher followed suit in confer
ring the citizens cup Oh the successful
seniors. Miss Spaulding, with a pref
tily delivered speach, handed the Jill
son Prize" to George Nettleton. and a
moment later Miss Stephenson called
the muscular young oarsman to the
front again to receive the Coming"
prize as winner of the junior single.
Miss Keyser, a handsome, dark-eyed
maiden, made the hit of the morning in
the remarks accompanying her present
alton of the tub race prize to Mr.. Boyle.
She was confident. she said, that a
young man who could with such ease
and success overcome the difficulties
and dangers which beset the tub racer
in the navigation of his awkward craft.
possessed characteristics which would
enable him to conquer other difficulties
or dangers which he might encounter in
life'S tub race, and it was her pride and
pleasure to have been chosen thus to
decorate the champion tubbiSt of the
state. Miss Lamprey, also, in confer
ring the prize for the swimming race,
made happy little speech, and thus
pleasantly ended the boat club regatta
of go.
