York and Passaic of Newark figured
prominently. The Jsrseymen won by
a narrow margin.
Another close race was that between
the Pennsylvania Barge and Vesper
Boat clubs. Of this city, and the Har-
lens. Of New York. The two local
crews put up such fast pace that
Harlem was out of 1t after the half
mile mark had been passed. The race

time Of $3.50.
