NEWARK, n. j., July i.-There was
hardly rifle on the Passaic course this
morning. 1t is fitting day for the
chief rowing event of the East, and n
more suspicious outlook could not be
imagined than that which greeted the
representatives of the more important
boat clubs between Washington and
Boston who were entered in the sixteen
events on the programme of the Middle
States regatta.
So many entries were received that II
was necessary to divide things up. the
preliminary and second trial heats be
Ing rowed in the morning, leaving all
finals for the afternoon. Few of the
fair sex attended the trials, but there
were prepare tons for a host of them
later in the day.
