 New York, May 31.-The thirty-flrst
 annual regatta of the Harlem Regatta
 association of New York, rowed to-day
 on the Harlem river, was an unquali- fled success from all points of view, as
 clear skies, perfect water and hot rac- ing, the essential conditions, prevailed
 during the entire afternoon. The races
 were well filled the best of the local
 rowing men and oarsmen from Phila-
 delphia and Boston taking part. The
 races were one mile straight away on
 the regular course from McComb's dam
 to point just below Madison avenue
 bridge.
 In the sculling events the most hotly contested race of the day was that of the senior singles. Mcclure of Boston
 was picked out by the talent as a sure
 winner, and kept a lead until near the finish, when Juvenal of Philadelphia, who still had some life in him, after a
 hard race, spurted and won by six feet
 from Mcclure. The New York Athletic Junior team are looked upon as prom ising crew, as they won from the Har-
 lens. The Pennsylvania crew won handily from the Harlems in senior doubles.
 The college oarsmen did not turn out as we'll as expected. Columbia made poor showing. Yale rowed a good race in eights, but were beaten by the New York Athletic club. The curious fact is that the New York Athletic repre- sentatives had previously made wig
 orous protest against the Yale men row.
 ing in this race. The Yale men started
 in the senior seight, but number five
 broke his stretcher and the crew stop
 ped at the quarter.
 The eight" races were the greatest of the day. There were five crews in
 each event. The junior eight race was pretty contest until the half, when the New Yorks and Yale drew away from the others, with the Bohemians close third. It was nip and tuck be- tween the first two mentioned, when
 the New Yorks spurted and won by a | length.
 There were thousands of spectators on the banks, bridges and boat houses ! W1lOA lllC oC1llOl Cl5 GU SllSii ldCC was started. The crews got good start and kept we'll together until the quarter, when the Atalantas drew away
 and got a lead which they maintained
 until the finish, winning by about a I length from the first Bohemians. The | Union Boat clubs crew was surprise to the oarsmen. They were a close
 third and stayed we'll for men who
 were not we'll trained.
