ne EenG Huiand Rowing Association's Firs'
Regatta at sheepshend nay.


Despite the rain yesterday. which fell so fast
ct times that the races In the Long Island regat'
Ia had TO be held over until after the storm had
spent Its fury, several thousand persons wit
messed the twelfth annual regatta Of tho Long
Island Rowing Association, which was held on
Sheepshead Bay for the hrst time In the history
OF the organization. Tho course Is an excellent
one, but the only drawback yesterday was the
presence OF many private sailing boats, which
made IL impossible for crews to row n straight
course. The Nautilus Boat Clubs juniors lost
their chance OF winning tho cup race through
getting wedRed in between two sloop yachts.
This pla' cd the boat several lengths behind
shortly after the start, but the men finished a
good second.

at . o'clock. but a heavy shower caused a post
poncment of just one hour. AS usual the man

the races follow:

but was too far in the rear to do any damage.
