TEN EYCk'S CAREER.
Something About tho Yankee Youth Who
Won the Diamond Sculls.


Edward II. Ten Eyck, the first Ameri-
oan to win tho Diamond sculls at Honley-
on-Thames, was born In Peekskill, N.
", on Aug. Z, ls79 so that he has yet to
celebrate his eighteenth birthday. His
performance is not considered so wonder
full by his intimate friends, for he comes
from family of crack oarsmen, his father
and his grandfather before him being re-
nowned for their work In the sport.
Young Ten Eyck made his first race in
August of 1895, when he and his club
mates had private trial with the oars TO
see which was the best fitted to represent
the Wachusett Boat club at the New Eng
land regatta of that year Ho won the
trial race and took of tho honors at the
regatta with ensc At Saratoga last year
the boy was entered for the intermediate
singles Mt tho national regatta. He won
this event, besides establishing q new req
ord for tho mile and a half. intermediate
class, making the distance in minutes
and 80 seconds.
Ten Eyck entered The senior scull race
on the Charles river Of the New England
Amateur Rowing association on last La
Dor day, in the hope of meeting Mcguire
and Whitehead, both crack amateurs.
Neither of them would go against him,
but later Whitehead accepted his challenge
and was beaten 10y Ten Eyck In October
last, on Lake Quinsigamond, in 0 minutes
IS go seconds. In this race Ten Eyck
won the title Of champion Of America, and
the Wachusett Boat club sent him TO Hen
ley to win the Diamond sculls.
When the boy champion left Worcester
with his father for the English shores, he
received public ovation.
