The Fifth Race.
The great race of the day was the race
for senior fours. in which THE Evening
Star" cup was the trophy. There was
much speculation about the probable win
ners, The veteran Ellis Ward. who was
one of the famous Ward brothers crew OF
o!den times, end who trained the Coium-
bias to many victories, was down IN charge
of the Metropolitan crew OF New YORK.
Ward modestly said he didn't have world
beaters, but expected them I'd make good
showing Il is afternoon. The Pennsylvania
Barge Club representatives smiled sagnifi-
cantly when the race was mentioned and
said they would win it if only to put Eihs
Wards nose out of joint.
The reason for this was that Ward for
merlv trained the Philadelphias, and there
is great rivalry between them and the

The Columbias had many adherents, and
there was not more interested man on
the river than Capt Charlie Baker, who

PAGES Their friends eXpected much OF
them The Potomacs concluded to with
draw during the afternoon, and did not
appear. Considerable surprise was eX-
pressed when the Ariel four which had
won the junior foors and the Mason cup
not an hour before, padded out to the
line and got ready to tackle seniors for
still more important honors. The Metro
politans were closely scanned when they
pulled out slowly to the line, and they
looked like race horses. Their brown arms
cleaned in the sun like the. muscular
bronze limbs of one of Barye's creations,
and their movements were remarkable Ior
their rhythm, All four men moved ike
pieces of a single machine, and they looked
dangerous.
1t was 5:55 when the word was given
after some delay, in which the sMetropoh-
tans displayed a singular obstinacy In get

at the half mile the Metropolitans and
Pennsylvania were even half a length
ahead of the Analostans, the Ariels three
lengths behind At the turn, the Pennsyl-
vanias missed the buoy, and to the per-
sons on the umpire's boat it was plain
that they didn't turn it at all. The Co.
lumbias got up on even terms here, and
passed the Metropolitans, who had much
difficulty at the turn.
