NATIONAL REGATTA RESULTS
FORTY THOUSAND PEOPLE SAW
SPLENDID RACES.
Eight-oared Shell Race Was Grand
Struggle Between Champions and
Pennsylvanians Won 1t.

Philadelphia, July 23.-The second
and last day of the annual regatta of
the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen saw what was probably the
finest series of races. ever seen at a
national regatta. In three events only
few feet separated the first and sec
ond crews.
The most sensational race of the day
was the eight-oared shell, which the
Pennsylvania Barge clubs champion
eight captured from the Argonauts of
Toronto by a few feet after a grand
struggle.
The weather was perfect. Between
10000 and 10000 persons congregated
along the river 10 watch the races. Two
of the championships were captured
by Philadelphia crews. Teneyck won
the single championship, while the
Western Boating club of st. Louis car
ried off the honors of the intermediate
four-oared shell race. The Argonauts
captured the senior international four
cared shell event, and Amos Kubic of
Springfield, Mass, won the intermedi-
ate single SOUL race. In the interme
date four-oared she'll race, the Sea-
wanaka crew of New York was ruled
out for not properly turning the three
mile flag.
The Western club of ST. Louis, Sea-
wanaka of New York and Argonauts
of Toronto started in the intermediate
four-oared shell race. The st. Louis
crew assumed the lead at the start. the
Seawanaka second and the Argonauts
third. The difference between the first
and last crew at the half mile flag was
only a length and a half The West
ern men rowed much better race than
they did yesterday. at the turn they
were but two strokes in front of the
Seawanakas, who failed to turn their
stake properly. The ArgonautS were
two lengths behind.
The race from the mile flag to the
finish was a grand one The New
Workers caught the St. Louis men
shortly after the turn and held them
to the finish. The result was in doubt
until the judges announced that the
WesternerS had won by one second.
The Seawanakas were ruled out, how
ever, for their error at the turning
stake. and second place was given to
the Argonauts.
The eight-oared shell race was the
most sensational that was ever rowed
on the national course. The crews that
faced the starter were the Worcester
high school of Massachusetts, Fair
mounts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Barge of Philadelphia and Argonauts
of Toronto. Not one of these Fights
had ever been defeated. From the
three-quarters flag TO the finish it was
magnificent struggle between the
Philadelphia champions and the Argo-
nauts. By grand squirt Pennsylvania
managed to cross the line first. five feet
in front of the Canadians. The time,
7:4015. is the best ever made over this
course under similar conditions. Wor-
cester was three lengths behind the
Canadians.
