SOME FINE SPORT
 AT THE REGATTA
A Strong Breeze Blew Directly
 Against the Crews.
TEN EYFCK WON THE SINGLE
His She'll Touched Rumhor's and the Latter Claimed Foul, But the Referee Failed to See It
 Other Contests

New York, uly 20.-In the second days events of the National Regatta over the Speedway course, on the Harlem river to- day, the sport was of higher class than on the opening day. The racing began shortly after p. m. The weather was fine. but strong breeze blew directly against the crews, and at times the water, where not sheltered, was rough.
 In the Paris singles the starters were Rumohr. Ten Eyeck and Titus. The latter had the New York shore, with Rumohr in the middle and Ten Eyeck on the Vest chester side. Ten Eyeck and Rumohr caught the water together at the crack of the pistol. For the first minute both rowed forty strokes, and their shells were bow and bow. After this Ten Eyeck forged ahead, and Titus well in the rear, began to work over towards Rumohrs water, and gave him the benefit of his wash. Thus they rowed for quarter of mile, when Ten Eyeck drew away a little more and was directly in front of Rumohr' 8 bow
 At this point Rumohr spurted. The shells seemed to touch, and Rumohr raised his hand, claiming a foul. Rumohr stopped rowing, but on seeing the referees boat did not slacken speed, rowed on and hn- ished two and one-half lengths behind Ten Eyeck. The referee was Walter Simpson, of Boston, and when asked to explain why Ten Eyeck was not disqualified, said:
 There may have been a foul, but l did not see it.
 Had the referee decided that Ten Eyeck fouled Rumohr the race would have been rowed over again, for the regatta commit tee long ago agreed that none of the Paris races could be decided on fouls.
 The Second Trial Heat
 The Crescent Boat Club of Philadelphia won the second trial heat of the interme- diate double scull event by three lengths from the Nonpariels of New Hampshire. with the Atlantas third. The Wachusett Boat Club of Warcester, Mass, and the Vespers of Philadelphia withdrew from the senior fours and 1t was rowed in one heat, the starters being Detroit Boat Club of De- troit, Mich; Institute Boat Club of New ark N. J., and the Jeffries Point Rowing Association of Boston.
 strong breeze was blowing and the De- troit men hugged the Westchester shore, which gave them much shelter. After a half of a mile had been traversed they assumed a comfortable lead. which they maintained to the finish. The victory of the Detroit crew was well received by the crowd.
 C. s. Titus of New Orleans won the sec ond heat of the associations singles, with Amos Kubick of the Springfield Boat Club, second. The other starter, James Bond, of the Bachelors Barge Club of Philadelphia quit at the mile post. The intermediate eight-oared shells was the best race of the day. Four crews faced the starter. The Dauntless of New York Maltas and Fair mounts of Philadelphia and the Potomacs of Washington. After false start in which the Maltas were left at the post, After passing the quarter-mile mark the Dauntless assumed the lead and at every stroke gained lttle crossing the line five lengths ahead of the Fairmounts the Mall tas being third by half a length. The Potomacs gave up after rowing a mile.
 The second heat of the Paris fours was perhaps the most peculiar race ever seen at a championship meeting. The Vespers and Institutes were the only starters and at the crack of the pistol the Vespers jumped to the front and at the half mile mark were eight lengths ahead of their rivals. Then by some peculiar process the Institutes began to gain, and inch by inch overloaded the leaders. The Vespers, how ever stuck to their work and by what ap- peared to be sheer plugging crossed the line two feet ahead of the Institutes. All the races with the exception of the last two the intermediate eight and the Paris fours, were rowed with the tide
