| YESTERDAYS RACES.
Yesterdays racing went off without accident
and with but one foul. The water was smooth
at first, but it roughed up toward s o'clock
| slightly.
| THE FIRST RACE.
The first race of the day was quite prompt
in starting. The course was clear and the
water smooth, and the four contesting boats
were promptly aligned.
The word to go was given at $40. Wright
went ahead at once. Berry failed to take the
water at first and had to squirt to get his posi-
| ton. Fleming was the only man who gave
Wright any trouble, Berry and Dyer dropping
back badly. Fleming held his own with Wright
| to the half and there was a nice race there.
Wright was pulling with long sweep and held
| the lead. At three-quarters his lead was fully
| boats length, with Berry two lengths behind
Fleming. Dyer was three behind Berry. At
| the mile the Canadian had put q length OF open
water between him and Fleming, who had gone
over into his course. Berry saw a chance at
the third quarter to get place and he pushed
Fleming for the place. passing HIM at the last
eighth flag. Fleming was SO far gone that Dyer
caught him before the line was reached. Wright
finished a winner by four lengths. Berry sec

THE SECOND RACE.
There were five starters in the race for pair
oars, the Argonauts and two each from the
Atalantas and New Yorks.
The Argonauts were Stewart and Crooks.
Atalantas number one consisted Of the Dempsey
brothers; number two was the Lau brothers
boat; New Yorks number one held Valentine
and Pinkney, and number two Phillips and
Hare. The word was given at 4:06. Argonauts
and Atalantas were the only crews that steered
| squarely, and the other three went wild toward
the fats The Dempsey brothers took the lead.
New York two fouled the Bartholdi and left the
race. The Dempsevs pulled like fiends and at
the half were length in the lead Of the Laus,
who had caught up to the Canadians, the Argo-
nauts. ATLANTA two went over the water Of
the Argonauts and fouled them at the bow, at
the mile. The Argonauts found their wind and
gave the Dempseys brush. At the last quarter
the two crews were neck and neck, with the
Ataantas their heels with New York one
pushing. Dempseys won. all the other crews
going into the shore. New York one made
second place. Time. 1912 20.
THE JUNIOR TOURS.
The local interest was sharpened by the next
race a heat between the junior fours The
entries were Arlington, Neptunes, Ariel and
Potomacs. The Potomacs' boat was pulled by
j. Hadley Doyle, bow; j. N. Oliver, 2; j. s.
Mccoy, 8; A. H. Mills. stroke. The start was
course. The start was even and for the first
eighth the line Of four shells was unbroken
The Potomacs pulled in splendid form, but had
a tendency to drift toward the flats. The Ar
lngtons were to the fore at the half, with Po-
tomac slightly behind but it was anybody's
race and the prettiest race of the regatta mp to
that point At the mile the boatswere within
three lengths of each other, with the Airing
tons leading by two lengths. The Potomacs
still rowed well, but it was a stern chase. At
the fifth quarter the race lay between Arlington
and Ariel, with Neptune third and Potomac
fourth. Arlington was going easy with fine
stroke and was easy winner. The crews
finished in this order: Arlington, Ariel Nep-
tune, Potomac. Time 9.Il. The second time
was 923.
One of the Ariel crew tainted at the close of
the race and was very sick when he was taken
out of the boat

The race for senior singles was looked for
ward to with a great deal Of interest. It was
rowed by three men-Hedley, Caffrey, Hig-
gins-and it was started on times p. m. CAT
frey went off first, but Hediey spurted and
took slight lead. He cut over and had to
turn in a few strokes. Higgins did not appear
| to be much of factor at first All of the men
were pulling well and in their own waters. At
| the first quarter the three boats were in line
At the half Caffrey led by half length, but
Hedley crawled up. The boats were so close
| that there no clear water between them at
three-quarters. Hedley was growing weak and
at the mile flag was dropping back. Caffrey
was in the lead and rowing easily, but Higgins

The final heat in doubles was rowed next.
The crews were the Catlins, Albanys, vespers
and Varunas. The start was made two minutes
| ahead of scheduled time. Albany led with the
| best steering. The others were going wild and
| had a race for second place, but the Albanys,
| with lead Of seven or eight lengths, were not
| to be caught The Catlins were soon distanced
| by the Vespers and varunas. Even the Albanys
went to the east with the drift of the current,
but the others were 50 much worse that it made
little difference. The Vespers and Varunas
were having hot brush for a place at the last
quarter, with the Vespers slightly better. The
| Albanys took it easy and crossed the line win
| ners by four lengths. Vespers second.
