Men show winning Form In Three Events.
There was an Immense throng OF people along
the banks of tho Harlem River yesterday to
witness the thirty-frst regatta held under the
auspices OF the Harlem Regatta Association,
and IT. proved TO be one OF tho most successful
rogattns the organization has ever held. All
the lighthouses along the river were gaily deco
rated with flags and bunting, and tho balconies
and reception rooms wero crowded to their ut
most capacity with tho guests OF the clubs.
A new feature was added In tho shape OF n
barge provided by the mombers OF the associa-
ton for the accommodation of their friends. 1t
was not only crowded, but O dozen more such
bargcs would scarcely have been sufficient to
meet tho demand. II was a great gathering OF
admirers OF aquatic sports, and visitors arrived
from many outside clubs In bargcs. launches,
and even in tugboats. The enthusiasts wero woll
repaid for their visit, as they had the pleasure OF
seeing n grand days racing.
Although 1t was announced that the regatta
would not commence before IL o'clock, the oars
mon and spectators began to gather as carly AZ
Q o'clock.
A meeting Of the Regatta Committee was held
prior to tho start, and tho Yale matter was re-
considered in the presence of the Yale represen-
tatives. As a result OF the conference all objcc-
lions to Yale's rowing in the junior elght-oared
shell race were waived.
The first and second trial heats in the junior
single SOULS were rowed before luncheon. the
decisive races being reserved for the afternoon.
Norman OF the Atlantics of Hoboken was q de-
cidcd novice, and he caused much amusement
in his trial heat. 1t took him about fifteen min.
utcs to get up to the starting point. In line with
the others, and then, TO cap the climax, he foil
out OF his boat before rowing half a mile,
