Stormy weather.


Despite tho stormy weather many Of the oars
mon in training for the Harlem regatta were out
on tho river yesterday and took their usual prac-
tico spins. The water. however. was all right
and as smooth as a mill pond. being much moro
desirable than during the week, when the oars
mon had TO contend with high winds.
Tho senior eight of the Dauntless Club made
It's first appearance upon tho river, and during
tho afternoon 1t had a brush over the regular
one-mile course with tho senior four-oared shell
crew. the latter winning by several lengths.

The senior four. cared shell men are rowing In
fairly good form. Their leg drive is good, they
get a firm grip OF the water, their outboat work
Is excellent, but they are a tri6e ragged on the in
boat work. The seniors show great improve
ment. They have heightened out their stroke
and are now rowing about thirty-six TO thirty
seven to tho minute. They have broken them
selves clipping the water and now catch II firm,
putting the snap at tho finish instead of ut the
start.
The members OF the senior four-oared crew of
tho Harlem Rowing Club were not out, owing to
the absence of Joe Maher, stroke, who went up
to Bowdoin College several days ago to purchase
q Ruddick four-oared shell, which is expected to
arrive this morning. The senior double, Maggie
Trior, and several singles, went out for long
spins, and rather seemed to enjoy the soothing
effect Of the rain.

Club. vincen, stroke, and Rudy, bow, took q
si1-mile spin at q pretty lively clip.
Among tho other oarsmen on the water were
tho junior four-oared gig crew, q pRireoared, and

and a single from the Crescent Rowing Club, a
fouroared barge crew from the Friendship Boat
