principal events here to-day The men
were ordered out in the early evening,
and at GAS they were given the start
The rain was coming down freely and
the wind was still blowing briskly. The
men got away on a thirty-four stroke,
which was dropped to thirty-two, and
after a half-mile had been rowed at
that point, as the wind became stronger
and the water rougher, the stroke was
made thirty, which was held for the two
middle miles. Going into the last mile
the wind dropped and the water became
smoother, and Higginson put up the
stroke to thirty-four, which was con-
tinued to the finish. The time was 22:45.
This time, however, was taken at the
finish of last years course, which on
account of the two turns would make
the finish mark about four lengths
shorter than the old straightaway
course that the race will be rowed over.

watched with interest. 1t is conceded
that the stroke was too low to be used
in racing, but that is partly accounted
for by the high wind and rough water.
In the two middle miles the work was
ragged and breaks were noticed at No.

of holding off towards the finish the

the result of the strike which began

Waterbury, Conn, June 15.--Despite

in the early evening several hundred
people gathered at Atlantic park to wit

from three miles to twenty miles for
every mile from ten to twenty, but how
cred close to the best amateur records
of the world and in the eleventh and
thirteenth mile he established new anna
teur records and his twenty miles were
but six seconds lower than the stand
ing record of the country. There is no
question if the Massachusetts man had
been given proper pace he would have
substantially clipped every standing
record from ten to twenty miles, AL
though the race was booked as a COM

announcer stated at the end Of the third
mile that he had broken the state rec

eleventh mile record for the country
went by the board. In the eighteenth
mile the pace was so slow that he
jumped from One pacing team to anoth-
ed ahead and was given an ovation
when he again appeared in front of the
grand stand. His time for the twenty
miles was 43:43; state record was 45.11
made by himself last year and the
worlds record is 43:37.
The two mile pursuit race between
