NEW YORK, Sept s.-The Middle
States Regatta association held its eley-
enth annual regatta Oh the Harlem riy-
er today, and from every standpoint 1t
was a pre-eminent success. The entry
list was high class and thoroughly rep
resentative, the finishes close and excit-
ing, the weather fine, and the water in
the forenoon all that might be desired
n large crowd turned out to see the
races, and all day long the boat houses,
the Westminster shore, the bridges and
other favorable vantage points were
patronized by enthusiastic crowds. ready
at all times to cheer winner or ap-
plaud a loser.
Originally it was intended by the re-
gatta committee to row the forenoon
races up stream; but when the official
boat went upon the course for the first
race at 800 a. m, this arrangement was
found to be impossible, and all trials
and finals were rowed down stream un-
til 8 o'clock, when the tide changed.
About this time the wind veered about
TO the south, and. blew directly against
the rowers, and afterwards the races
were fowed up stream. At 500 the start
ers in the first heat of the international
singles were on the water and starter
T'ilkington sent them away in good shape.
There were three starters, ]. Pohensy,
Bohemian club; NJ. A. Cornell. Union
Boat club, and Mark Davis. Harlem
Rowing club. The trio .rowed level for
eco yards, after which the Bohemian went
to the front and led to the finish, and
won by a length and half. Henry Hill
bers Jr., representing the Wahnetah Boat
club, won the second heat in decisive
style; Jesse Powers, of the Nashau Boat
club, second.
A bad mlx-up resulted in the junior
pair cared event Three crews started
the Nonpareils, the Pennsylvania Barge
club and the Union Boat club. The lat
ter crew jumped awayIatIthe start, and
at the quarter led by two lengths Soon
after the Nonpareils Won over into the
Unions water, when 1.-THE latter crew
crashed into them Immediately the
Unions stopped rowing and so did the
Pennsylvania Barge clubs The referee
disqualified the Nonpareils, and he or
dered the race reStarted. The Unions
finally won by length.
The senior single scalls We're a sore
disappointment, for it was thought that
John A. Rumohr, of theE Harlem Row
ing club, had an easy win. Titus, the
New Orleans sculler, led for while, but
dropped behind Rumohf and Mehrhoff at
the three-quarters. 1t was then Rumohr
and Mehrhoff, and the former was dis
qualified. The race was Tdwed over from
that mark and Mehrhoff won, with tt
tuS second.
The race for the day was the senior
Fights. which practically decided the
championship of the Harlem river. The
Dauntless Rowing club and Bohemians
were the contestants and though it was
nearly dark when it took place, every one
stopped to see the tussle. At the start
every one looked for the Bohemians to
win, but the smooth stroke of the Daunt-
less soon told, and they went by their RI
walls at the half mile, winning by about
a length. The time of. the Dauntless
for the mile was a4:49 Ia, and this was
claimed as record for the Harlem river.
A splendid contest was the junior eight
shell race, which was won by the Union
