Miniature breakers scurried over Flushing
Bay yesterday and made exciting work for tho
oarsmen who took part In the regatta OF the
Long Island Rowing Association. which was
held there In the afternoon. II was n steady.
southwest breeze that caused all the disturb
ance During the first part OF the racing 1t
blew almost directly up the course. and the
shells OF the contestants danced up and down
like corks ns they buffeted the waves. Water
was shipped at almost every stroke. and. In
some instances. the winning OF the race was
as much duo to good seamanship as 1t was to
strength and skill
In other respects It WIS an ideal day. The
finish OF the course was blockaded with tug
boats and pleasure craft OF all descriptions.
Almost every club That had n crew entered
were there In tugboets with their friends and
best girls to cheer their crews on to victory.
And they did cheer. while the girls waved
their handk erchiefs and parnsols. Tho course
was a mile straightaway. and the spectators
on the feet OF boats ut the finish had I'M unob-
structed view OF each race from start to finish.
While tho Raycnswool Boat Gu b's tug was
lying OIL the College Point shore waiting for
more passengers. the receding tide ioft 1t
pointed eNcurstonists. "
