The crews were given rousing receptions
when they returned to their houses, and
there were no excuses or recrimfnatfof
The best crew had won because its men,
bers were in the best condition. There was
too much luff in both the local boats, but
notwithstanding this they rowed race
worth going many miles to see.
The Second Race.
There was some delay in starting the
second race. which was for lightweight
fours. The Mary Washington, which steam
ed up after the junior eight had been row.
ed, threatened to get in the way several
times, but finally got berth for herself
near the finish. The start In this race was
Immediately opposite the Analostan boat
house and the G street wharf where the
finish also was. A great many small boats
were congregated about it, and after these
had been gotten out of the way by the Joe
Blackburn anG two-masted schooner got
under way ard sailed merriy over the
course the way was clear for a start. This
gave the crowd time to talk about the re-
spective chances of the crews. 1t was to
be a strictly local race, and consequently
the interest in it was intense. The Ana
lostans seemed to have the call In the bet
ting. The presence Of Louis Fisher, who
has been such a successful and popular
oarsman, in the stroke seat of the boat
was considered as being a strong factor In
its favor The crews We're finally lined up,
and at AIS Umpire Statzell gave the word.
All three crews got of at the same in
slant to as pretty start as was ever
witnessed. Immediately after the start,
however, and before the quarter was reach
ed the Analostans, who were leading,
steerad directly into the Columbia's wa
ter, and Mr.. Elder bow of the Columbias
claimed foul. The three crews stopped
rowing and Umpire Statzell called them
UP and decided to start the crews afresh
at the place where the foul occurred, as
both crews had been blown out of their
course by the wind, and no blame attach
ed
A New Start.
At the second start Columbia and Ana
lostan got off together, rowing II. the Po-
tomacs getting stroke the worst of 1t.
The Columbias and Analostans, rowing
strcng were even up. the Potomacs half
lergth behind Approaching the turn, the
Aralostans began to pull slowly but stead
lily ahead, the Columbias making desper lte
efforts to keep with them. The Potomacs
were now several lengths behind and ap
rarently out of the race. The Analostans
turned first, making a beautiful circle the
Columbias making a very ragged turn.
The Analcstans started away and we:e
six lengths ahead and seemed certain win
ners The delay at the turn let. the Poto-
macs get up even with the Columbias. but
the latter soon picked up and left the Po-
tomacs and began gaining again on the
Ar alostans.
Won BY The Annlostans.
Three hundred yards from the finish the
Columbias nearly ran into a stake, and
hen every one thought the Analostans
were certain of the prize the Columbtas
cut it up again, and the finish was excit-
irg. The Aralostans crossed the finish
lcr 9Th ahead of the Columbias, the Poto-
macs being beaten by three lengths. There
was no time taken on account of the foul

Great ThrOngs.
The scene at this time was particularly
picturesque. The sun shone down with
lessened strength from a sky fecked here
and there with snowy clouds and FURNISHED
the green water until it became a mirror
to reflect the anima ted groups upon the
shores. The cool wind tempered the air to
he thousands who crowded every adyanta-
geous poir t whence view of the races
could be gained The closing of the de-
partments augmented the throngs greatly,
and by the time the third race was started
there We're few spots on the District shore
rear the finish that We're not crowded The
piles of cordwood on the G street wharf
looked like base ball bleachers, so thckly
were they covered with sishtseers, and the
roar that went up from them when a race
began or ended further heightened the
likeness The referees boat, which was
spleEdidly managed and under command
Of Mr.. Carlyle Whiting of the Analostans,
sped back and forth among scores of pleas
ure boats and now and then ran up close
to the River Queen and got a royal greet
ing from two thousand people aboard. The
Joe Blackburn did not rest in the we'll
directed efforts of her crew to keep the
course clear, while the Cecile with the Bal
timore boys aboard steamed up and down
after the races and left streak of merri-
ment wherever it left wake. 1t was alto
gether a prosperous occasion SO far. The
