CONDITIONS WE'RE PERFECT.
All the events, with the exception of
the international fours and the inter-
mediate eight were q of mile and re-
turn. The exceptions were 11s miles
straight away. The day was perfect
for scullng and the course skirted on
either side by the picturesque river
drives of Fairmount park, was almost
without a ripple on its surface. There
was light breeze.
REery precaution was taken to police
the course and keep it clear of river
craft and in only one instance was there
any interference with the racing. This
was during the intermediate eight. The
New York Athletic club had the out
side water and had passed the 34 flag
in close race for third place, when
u
struck it hard slightly bruising Bogert's
arm. 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 9TH
er crews back and New York was un-
able to finish.
Much comment was INDUCED in over
tg In
the senior singles.
The first race, the intermediate sim
giles. was called for $50 o'clock. BY
that time the river was crowded on
both sides and the Columbia bridge
and bluffs on the east river drive were
lined with spectators.
The greatest interest was centered in
the three heats of the senior singles.
Juvenal who won the first, pulled 81
stroke throughout and finished an easy
winner. Whitehead was a winner from
start to finish in the second heat and
Mcguire, rowing strong. took the third
heat by several lengths.
