nastic Rowing Club, New Orleans; Jas.
B. Juvenal, Pennsylvania Barge Club,
Philadelphia. The latter had the out
side course, and wasn't in the race for
a minute. He dropped back steadily,
and was beaten lengths and lengths.
Rumohr got the advantage in the first
few yards, although Lewis gave him a
race for nearly a quarter-mile. But
the adverse conditions told on Lewis,
and, at the half-mile, Rumohr was
three lengths ahead. The Canadian
gained back a length, and started home
about two lengths behind. The unusual
efforts required to keep him anywhere
near Rumohr on the trip to the turn,
told on him, and his strength began to
fail At the half-mile mark, coming
home, Rumohr had a lead of five
lengths on Lewis, who was then second.
Titus began to creep up, and, as he had
not made as great exertions as Lewis
going against the wind, he was fresher.
He drew up on Lewis and went ahead
for a quarter length until they ap-
preached the finish. Lewis then began
to dig and made gallant finish.
The line was too near, how
ever, and Titus reached it not
more than foot ahead of Lewis. The
winners time was 1925, and the second
man was just 10 seconds behind.
In the intermediate four oared shells
there were but two starters, the New
York Athletic Club and the Harlem
Rowing Club New York had the in
side position, but Harlem rowed a far
better stroke and led to the turn. A
bad turn lost the two lengths gained,
and New York came away first. New
York led two lengths, half-mile from
the finish, but later it appeared as if
their boat was anchored, and Harlem
went ahead New York again got to-
gether, and there was a good race for
the finish. New York crossed the line
in 9:42 As seconds ahead of the
Harlem crew.
The senior international tours which
row a mile and half straightaway, was
next, the only contestants being the
Brockville Rowing Club of Brockville,
Ont, and Western Rowing Club of st.
Louis. 1t was a procession. Brock
vile took first water showed clear
water between the boats at a furlong,
and romped in an easy winner by four
or five lengths, in $40.
The intermediate double was a good
race There were six crews, which
were as follows from the wall: Young
Mems Gymnastic Rowing Club of New
Orleans, E. H. Keep and f. Demou-
relle; Jeffries Point Rowing Associa-
ton of East Boston, Edward ]. Brown
and Frank b. Greer; Dauntless Rowing
Club of New York, ]. F. Mulcahy and
Fred p Kafka; Union Boat Club, Bos-
ton, ]. p. Gardiner and Walter p. Hen
derson; Boston Athletic Association, N.
G. Horton and George S. Derby; Malta
Boat Club of Philadelphia, G. F. Haer-
trich and John NJ. Root, Jr. The race
was between the B. A. A. and Jeffries
crews, and Jeffries Point won by a
couple of lengths. The win was a pop
ular one, as Greer, the stroke, was the
winner of the intermediate singles. The
time was 10:02%, and that of the b.
A. A. 1O:091s
Then came the great race of the day,
the championship senior singles.
The starters in this race were
In order from the protecting
WALL Joseph B. Mcguire Brad
ford Boat club, Cambridge; Joseph ].
Whitehead, West End Beat club. Bos-
ton; Edward II. Ten Eyck, Wachusett
Boat club Worcester. This was the race
everybody was waiting for The inter-
mediate Doubles were hardly over the
line when the shell of young Ten Eyck
shot from below the line and headed up
the river He was greeted with APP
plause, 1t being the first of the day.
A little later came MaguiYe and his APP
pearance was greeted with even greater
applause, for he was the idol of the
Boston crowd. Whtehead's advent was
unnoticed, for nobody expected he
would be in the race. He wasn't. Ten
Eyck went up the course for quarter
mile with an easy gliding motion, and
several times glanced around to see
how the waves were running. AS he
padded back, leisurely, Mcguire went
up nearest the wall, trying his own
course
The men lined up at their respective
fags. waiting for the sound Of the gun
in the hands of Starter Piikington. The
very first stroke showed the best man
OF the trio. Young Ten Eyck didn't beat
the gun-nobody can do that when jim
Pilldngton starts a race-but he dis
counted his opponents on the start. He
shot away in the lead getting a quarter
