SARATOGA. n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE In
terest In the annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen
was increased to-day. and the Saturday
excursion trains brought many more
spectators TO the lake. The early morn
ing brought promise of good racing
day.
The crews were out early rowing over
the course, and the Saratogans arrived
earlier and In greater numbers than on
yesterday.
The betting WAS much llvelier than on
the previous day, the favorites being
backed much more heartily.
one of the races on which considera-
BILE money was placed was the senior
singles, one of the crack races of the
day. Hawkins. Of Troy, who won 80
easily yesterday from Russell. the Can
adian. was backed by the Saratoga SPORT
Ing contingent. while the Westerners
took Fred Koenig of the ST. Louis Club.
The Toronto boys backed their cham
pions, Russell and Thompson.
A race which contained some first
class racing teams was the senior double
souls, which had In Its entry some of
the fastest men In the Association. The
showing was as good as In any doubles
ever rowed at the regatta. Monahan and
partner. Bowen. had won several races,
the Donoghues were known to be in good
form and out to win. while the Varuna
famous doubles. Freeth and Belger, were
certain to give their opponents a very
lively hustle.
The closing race of the regatta, the
senior eight-oared shells. had but two
entries en1 Nc. l., the Triton. Boa, Club.
There was little or no betting for the
inability to row shown by the Laurie
s sbes junior crew yesterday
stanchest followers.
It Is feared that the time will come
when there will be very few eght-oared
i, regatta sees fewer entries-in this ella s.
The N Y. A: c. no longer trains eignts
for Important regattas. The amount Of
difiicuit to keep eight men in practice,
and this, together with the expense OF
maintenance, Is fast robhing regattas
lures.
The senior four-oared race was looked
forward to with great interest, because
