THE 0ARsMEN's REGAT IA
First Day Marred by Delays and
an Accident.
THOUSANDS OF SPECTATORS
In the Four-Gared Shell Race the
Institute Boat Club of Newark
bias Boys Not Speedy Enough
for the Company.

Philadelphia, Aug. l3.-If' the first day
OF the annual regatta of the National AS
sociation OF Amateur oarsmen is any eritcr-
ion Of the second, the twenty y-fiftt annual
regatta viii prove most unsatisfactory.
The races Were not started on time, and
the last event was only started when
darkness had begun TO fall The spec
tators who occupied boats began TO leave
for home, and one OF them rowed too far
out about half way down the course. The
shells were approaching a. high rate of
speed. He was right in the water Of
the MontIose men and just managed 10
avoid them. Not a half length behind
came the New York Athletic Club rowing
a strong stroke, and one calculated to
make them pretty near a winner. They
struck his shell amidships, smashing his
and the.T own boat and gettn hopeessiy
shut out of the race in consequence.
In the four-oared International trophy,
in the first heat, the Ariel and Institute
crews made a great fight.

10000 persons saw the races. The sum-
