Il
| SARATOGA, July N.-The second days
meeting of the National Association OF
Amateur Oarsmen, held on the lake here to-
day to decide who are tho champions Of the
United States and Canada in the various
classes, was productive of some fine e1-
hibitions of skill in Craftsmanship. The ar
rangements were not all as perfect as they
might have been, the turning buoys being
placed too close and thereby causing fouls
in a couple of events, which have to be
decided tomorrow.
The action of the Regatta Committee
in setting the hour at 10 A. M. for
the starting of to-day's races and
then at late hour last night changing it to
$3.50 P. NJ. was severely condemned, as q
majority of the oarsmen were anxious to get
home tonight, and many did not hesitate
to express their opinion that the committee
were anxious to make it three-day meet
and suggested that if the Worlds Fair re-
gatta is to be held here next year a week
should be selected when there is no horse
racing here, SO that the races can be rowed
earlier in the day.
There Was No Record Brenking.
The attendance of spectators was very
much larger to-day than Yesterday, but the
condition of wind and water was about the
same as yesterday during the majority of
the races, and record breaking was out of
the question. When the officials reached
the lake they found the stake boats needed
attention, and this caused the first race to
be an hour behind time in starting, SO that
it was near 8 o'clock when the last race was
finished
The first event was the senior singles
with Hedley, Ryan, Bergin, Thompson,
Caffrey, Hawkins and Bulger as contest
ants. During the night and early morning
Hawkins was the favorite, but in the after
noon Caffrey took first place. Bergin got
the best of the start, but it was only
slight one, all being on even terms to the
Bergin second and Ryan third. Nearing
the turn Ryan went to the fore and turned
his stake first in minutes 13 seconds.
Ryan soon went to the front on the home
journey and won, Hedley second, Cafffey
third, Bergin fourth. Time, 1924.
Lehaney the Junior Champion.
The final of the Junior singles was a
close and interesting race between Cady,
Lehaney, Bensley, Cougnlin, Seaton, Black
ing and Hurley. Cady and Lehaney had
hard fight for the first place, which Lehsney
won in 11:25. At the mile and quarter
Hurley capsized.
The pair cared race, which is the most
scientific class of rowing, was a splendid ex-
hibition Oh the part of all the crews repre-
sentine the Cena Boat Club, of Philadel-
phia; Nonpareil, of New York; Atalanta, of
New York, and the Detroit Boat Club, of
Michigan. They got away on even terms,
but the Nonpareils forged ahead. At the
}oIo
Detroit, the latter rowing 40 strokes to the
minute.
On nearing the turning buoy, the Nom
pareils steered little off their course and
the Detroits fouled them. The Detroits
crossed the line first, Ionas second. The
referee atterward disqualified the Detroits.
The double scull event was hot
one. The contestants represented
Vespers, of Philadelphia; Varunas, of
Brooklyn; Catlins., Of Chicago, and
the Manhattans, of New York. The 1
Varunas second and Catlins third. In the |
Junior four shell race the contestants |
we're the Institute B. c., of Newark; |
Ariels, of Baltimore; Astorias, of New |
York. The Institutes had their boats
mashed and soon sank. The Astoria boat |
also swamped. The Ariels finished first. |
Atalanta second. The referee withheld his |
decision.
The Four-Oared Contest. |
The senior four-oared event had six start |
ers, representing the Fairmount Rowing |
Wyandotte B. c., of Michi- |
gan; Argonaut R. c., Canada; Atalanta, New
York; Modoc r. c., St. Louis, and the VOL
VERNE B. c., Detroit, Mich.
1t was hard-fought and pretty race, re-
,ulting in dead heat between the Modocs
md Wyandottes. Time, 4:03
Junior eight-oared shells had two entries,
he Dauntless Rowing Club, of New York,
md the Everetts. of Boston. Previous to
starting the Deuntless crew broke their
.udder and steered by word from their coxs-
vain. At the mile it became necessary for
he starboard side of the Dauntless crew to
top rowing in order to keep on the course,
md the Everetts went ahead and won in
):O51.
The last and greatest event of the day,
he senior eight-oared shell race, had
hree Of the best crews in the country |
,itted against each other They were the
"Chippies," of the New York
A. c., the Manhattan A. G. and the Malta
Boat Club, of Philadelphia. At the word
Ill three shot away as though fired from a
annon, the Manhattans Immediately going
o the front and holding lead on the New
Torks until the last quarter, when ensued
desperate struggle between them to the
inish, the New Yorks crossing the line
