DELAY AND DISASTER
Because of the shifting OF the stake
boats at the starting point and the trouble
experienced in getting the quarEette
of crews into satisfactory position
there was delay of almost an
hour in starting this event. Just
~ the umpire was about to give the word
the rudder of the Arthur Kuli Rowing
Associations red crew was smashed, and
the crew withdrew from the race. The
three remaining crews were given a fly
ing start, and considering the fact that
the tide was running like mill race they
got away fairly well together. The AL
cyones had, IL anything, the best
OF the start and they led for
quarter OF mile. Then the
Staten Islanders drew up to them and
gradually worked the nose of their craft
in 'front.' At the half the race was
pretty sight as each of the crews was
holding its OVID. Through bad steering
the Alcyones then gave the Islanders,
whose coarse was almost perfect telling
advantage. The three boats sped down
the huinestretch at rafting pace, and
the Islanders finished first by about
length in minutes and 40 seconds. The
Alcyoues were second in minutes and So
seconds. The Arthur huiIs brought up
the rear In minutes aud 10 seconds.
