FIRST DAYS RACES
Of the Silver Jubilee of Amateur 0arsmen-Tfe
 Results.

Philadelphia. Aug 13.-The first days races in the silver jubilee of the Amateur oarsmen were rowed today over the course of the Schuykill river in Fremont park. 1Today's events consisted of trials intermediate singles, single four shells, intermediate singles, senior singles, in- ternational four and the final and only heat in the intermediate eight. The feature of the events were the two senior four sheats and the final intermediate eight. The Ariel club, of Baltimore, won the first of the former by half length . and the Institute club, of New York, the second senior four heat in a magniff- cent dash. In the eights the Worcester High School Athletic association took the lead at the crack of the pistol main- taining it throughout with the Mont rose and Bearmount clubs, both of Phila- delphia, following Of all the events, with the exception of the international fours and intermediary eights were three-quarters of mile and return. The exceptions were one and one-half miles straight away.
 The day was perfect for sculling and the course was almost without a ripple over it's surface. There was a light breeze. Every precaution was taken to police the course and keep it clear of every vessel and in only one instance was there any interference with the rac- ing. This was during the intermediate eight. The New York Athletic club had the outside water and had passed the three- quarters flag in a close race for third place when yawl rushed onto the course roughly striking it, slightly bruis- ing Harry Rushford's arm The crew stopped running and claimed the colli- sion was deliberate. The police im- media tely placed the man under arrest. The judges did not recall the other crews and they were allowed to continue the race.
 Much criticism is indulged in on Ten Eyck's decision not to indulge in the race. Summarizes

Base ball is a peculiar thing. Really there are more peculiarities about this than any other game. One day your favorite is all right, the next, rotten" Let team strike winning gait and "she's all right" but lose out and one hears the expression. "Yes, they're show ing streak of yellow" and there you are.
 Boston was a record breaker when her winning streak was on and she was wonder But now that shesdrops an oc- casional game her rooters throw up the sponge and quit like a whipped cur Hanlon's men were all right for a time; they lost game after game and were no good They are on the go now and it would be we'll to throw an occasional glance at them.
 The Reds have at last struck their gait and are on the go CD toward-well, some- where.
 But TO matter, it's long way to quit ting time.
