NEW YORK, July 3o.-The second day
of the national regatta over the speedway
course on the Harlem river, was pro-
ductive of some excellent Craftsmanship,
and the sport generally was of higher
class than on the opening day. The wealth
er was fine. but strong breeze blew d.
rectly against the crews. and at times the
water. where not sheltered, was rough.
The first event was the Paris singles,
in which Rumohr Ten Eyck and Titus
started Ten Eyck and Rumohr caught
the water together, and for the first min
ute both rowed forty strokes, and their
shells were bow and bow. After this
Ten Eyck forged ahead. Titus. who was
well in the rear began to work over to-
ward Rumohrs water and gave him the
benefit OF his wash. Thus they rowed
for quarter OF mile. when Ten Eyck
drew away. and was directly in front of
Rumohrs bow. At this point Rumohr
spurted.
The shells seemed 10 touch and Rumohr
raised his hand. claiming foul. Rumohr
stopped rowing. but on seeing the ref
eree's boat did not slacken speed, rowed
on and finished two and a half lengths
behind Ten Eyck. The referee, Walter
Stimson. of Boston, when asked to ex-
plain why Ten Eyck was not disqualified.
said; There may have been a foul but
did not see it, Had the referee decid-
ed that Ten Eyck fouied Rumohr. the
race would have been rowed over again.
for the regatta committee long ago agreed
that none OF the Paris races could be
decided on fouls.
The Crescent Boat Club OF Philadelphia,
won the second trial heat OF the inter
mediate double souls by three lengths,
with the Nonpareils. OF New YORK, sec
ond. and the Atiantas third.
The Wachusett Boat Club. OF Worces-
ter, Mass. and the Nespers. OF Philadel-
phia, withdrew from the senior fours, and
1t was rowed in one heat, the starters
being the Detroit Boat Club. of Detroit;
Institute Boat Club. of Newark, ". j..
and the Jeffries Point Rowing Assocta-
ton, OF Boston. The Detroit crew won.
c. s. Titus OF New Orleans. won the
second heat OF the association singles.
with Amos Kubic of the Springfield Boat
CLUB, second. The other starter. James
Bend quit at the mile post.
The intermediate eght-oared shells was
the best race OF the day. Four crews,
the Dauntless, OF New York: Maltas and
Fairmounts. of Philadelphia and the
Potomacs. OF Washington, started After
passing the quarter milo mark the Daunt-
less assumed the lead. and gained at
every stroke, crossing the line fiye lengths
ahead OF the Fairmounts, the Maltas be-
ing third by half length.
The second heat OF the Paris Tours was
perhaps the most peculiar race ever seen
at championship meeting. The Vespers
and Institutes were the only starters. At
the crack OF the pistol the Nespers went
TO the 'front.' and at the half-mile mark
were eight lengths ahead of their rivals
Then the Institutes began TO gain, and
inch by inch overhauled the leaders. The
Vespers however stuck to their work.
and by sheer plugging crossed the line
two feet ahead OF the Institutes.
