PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 1S.-The
first days races in the silver jubilee

only heat in the intermediate Fights.
OF these the feature events were the
two senior four heats and the final in
termediate eight. The Ariel club, of
Baltimore won the first of the former
by a half length and the Institute club,
of New York, the second senior four
heat in a magnificent dash. In the
Fights, the Worcester High School Ath-
1etic association took the lead at the
crack of the pistol, maintaining it
throughout, with the Montrose and
Fairmont clubs, both Of Philadelphia,
following closely in the order named.
In the remaining events the Wauchu-
sets club and the Columbia Rowing
association, both of Massachusetts,
won the first two heats in the interme-
diate shells and the Nara gansett club,
of Providence the third heat. The
Pennsylvania Barge club, West END

ford club, of Cambridge, Mass, won
respectively the three heats in the Sc

and the Argonauts, of Toronto, each
won heat. All the events, with the
exception Of the international tours
and the intermediate Fights, were
fhree-Quarters Of a mile and return.
The exceptions were one and half
miles straightaway.
( The day was perfect for sculling and
the course was almost without ripple.
There was a light breeze. Every pre-
caution was taken to police the course
and keep it clear of river craft, and in
only one instance was there any inter-
Ference with the racing. This was dur
ing the intermediate eight. The New
York Athletic club had the outside
water and had passed the three-quarter
flag in a close race for third place,
when a yawl boat shot across its bow
end struck it hard, bruising Bogarts
Slightly. The crew stopped rowing and
claimed the action was deliberate on
the part of the man in the yawl The
police Immediately placed him under
arrest The judges did not call the
other crews back and New York was
unable to finish.
; Much comment was INDUCED in over
Ten Eycks decision not to compete in
the senior singles. The first race, the
intermediate singles was called for 2:30
O'Clock. By that time the river was
crowded on both sides and the Colum-
ibia bridge and bluffs on the East river
drive were lined with spectators. Will
son. of New York, was first away at
the start, but Lewis of the Wauchu-
sett- club, soon caught him and pulling
o1- q ,irt1- ct~Olyn Toa6n the f11rn
at the three-quarters' flag first and
kept the lead to the finish, crossing
five lengths ahead
= Crescent caught the shot by frac
ton in the first heat of the senior tours,
and about a quarter-mile from the
start, fouled the Ariel. Staten Island
was then ahead. The crews were
brought back to the start and got away
together. Staten Island led for awhile,
but Ariel and Crescent took the out
side water, and at the turn Ariel got
around first and Jumped two lengths
ahead. The New York crew held its
position close in shore, pulling steadily,
while Crescent fioundered about in
zigZag course in outside water Staten
island began to close up and in
beautiful squirt to the finish kept Ariel 8
lead down to half a length. In the
second heat the Institute took the lead
and maintained it to the finish, Ar
gonaut and Columbia following. Ar
gonaut tried hard to recover lost dis
lance, but the Institute pulled fast and
crossed a safe winner.
Greer, of the Columbia Rowing as
ISOLATION, won the second heat, inter-
mediate shells, hands down. Charles
Harris, Detroit Boat club, did not start.
Ed Schulz, of Providence, won the third
heat by an eighth Of mile. The great
est interest was conferred in the three
heats Of senior singles. Juvenal, who
