TAME BOXING IN HoBoKEN

The Valencia Boat Club held its annual
regatta yesterday afternoon over the
one mile course at Gutenberg. Every
thing was favorable and the day was
unusually fine. The club had a great
success and its popularity was mani
tested by the large number of ladies and
gentlemen shat accompanied the valen-
cias, to the scene of the races on the
roomy barge chartered for the occasion.
This left the clubhouse at the foot Of
Fourth street, Hoboken. at half4past one
and there were in the -neighhorhood of
1000 people aboard. The majority were
ladies, who showed a great interest in
the work of the We'll trained oarsmen.
The barge was anchored near the finish
of the course and everyone had an ex-
cellent view OF the Scontests, as the
races ended about 200 yards below. The
racing was exciting, especially the cutter
race between crews of the Jersey City
and Hoboken Naval Reserves. This was
by far the best race of the day n
never has a struggle been carried out
with such determination or with more
grit than these crews displayed. From
the beginning to the end of the mile
there never was more than a haEf a boats

the last 100 yards, when the Hobokens
responded to the can eff the coxswain
for a squirt and sen their cutter to the
front, holding the advantage despite the
efforts of their opponents to overhaul
them, and shot over the line the victors.
1t was a case of squirt from start to
finish and the Reserves were pretty
well played out. The time for the mile
