 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S-An immense crowd of Native Sons and others, gath cred at Long Bridge this morning to witness the barge and Whitehall races. Much delay was occasioned by the tar diuess of contestants, and it was late | in the forenoon before preparations for the first race were complete. The | course was from the point abreast of | Channel street to point off the main wharf of the Union Iron Works, and | return, distance of two miles. The | tugs Sea Wing and Sea Queen accom- panied the racers around the course, | the former carrying visiting journalists, and the latter the regetta committee, their lady friends and local newspaper men. The first event was the amateur single scull race with following entries: Ariel Club, Harry Tirrilli; Pioneer Club, M. Stokes and W. J. Ellis; Triton Club, c. Artigues; Tiburon Club, A. Fenkey; Union Club, James Lynn. A few min utes before the start, Ellis, whilst man. euvering his scull, in practice, ran into the Whitehall boat and damaged his craft to such an extent that he had to withdraw from the race When the signal sounded and the scullers were off Stokes of the Pioneer assumed the lead after dozen strokes of the oars, and it was evident from the start that he had the best of it; at the turning stake he was dozei lengths ahead with Lynn of the Stockton club in lead of the follow ing fleet. At this point Stockton was pulling strong oar; as he attempted to make turn, however, he unshipped his oar, and in flash was foundering in the water his fragile soul turned bot tom side up. A dozen yards away party of men in skiff picked up the luckless and carried him back to the starting point, towing his scull behind. Stokes held his own throughout. Time, fifteen minutes. The others were bunch ed away back, and had not been in it firm the start.
